I absolutely love your site, the content is killer and the best part is what you say is honest and not watered down to protect any sponsors.

Just wondering if the king shocks with piggyback shocks will fit on red cat racing volcano s30 Paul B. Cubby– Hey what’s up Pauly, shoot Brian your snail mail address and we’ll send you some BSRC stickers to put on your rig.

Hi there, Really good job with the lipo shoot out, very fair comparison and wide range of testing. But i have ONE big question, which maybe you can answer due to experience with lipo batteries. Which battery is the MOST durable?? Meaning : able to handle bumps and jumps on a 1/8 buggy track. I practically need an INDESTRUCTIBLE battery [...]

Hi there! Ive been watching a lot of your vids lately and i figured id toss this question at you! 🙂 I just acquired an Optima Mid, and i’m curious if there’s a mild enough brushless set up? I’m well aware that a full blown system would melt an optima mid. I’m not trying to bring the [...]

Cubby– Ahoy thar Jimmy P, what ye be doin? [...]
Hi Guys, Great site and lots of info. I have read quite a few articles and forums and I’m at information overload now trying to pick the right combo for my build. I have a e-revo 1/16 that I’m planning on putting a mamba max pro with either a 4600kv 4-pole or 5700kv 4-pole motor. Than it comes down to [...]
I’m not bashing your test in fact I found it very interesting. But I’m curious why in the weight test the lightest battery was given the better score. In general I’ve found the heavier battery with similar Mah almost always is the better performer. Your overall test results seem to bear this out. Thanks Scott Cubby– Yo what’s up Scott and [...]

I was reading your review on the new Pro-line transmission. I sent some questions to Pro-line yesterday regarding the problem I have been having with my standard Rustler gears.

Cubby, Who is your favorite rc journalist and why? Richard P. Cubby– Hey now, what’s up Richie? Thanks for the email. I don’t believe there is such a thing as a true journalist in the rc biz right now, they are seemingly all puppets to their advertisers. Yes, it is sad state the rc media is in right now, but that’s just the way [...]
