Hey there, big fan of the Big Squid you guys do great work. I was curious if there was a plan in the works to do a hopped up review of the Dominus 10SC.

If you haven’t already decided on which transmitters to review, I’d like to ask that you include the Traxxas TQi system and possibly the FlySky GT3-B. I own the GT3-B and very interested in the TQi for the telemetry capability. I do race, but pretty much just dirt oval (Slash MDM and Open 2wd) at Maryville Raceway in Illinois when [...]

Dear Cubby, Do you have any idea why there are no lithium jelly batteries on the market? You probably don’t have any idea what I’m talking about, so I’ll explain: Lithium jelly batteries are basically LiPo’s, only, the lithium has been turned into a non-flammable jelly. This type of battery could be the revolution to batteries, here’s why: 1. They are extremely safe. [...]
When will you post the review of the HPI Bullet Flux MT? Your review may make my descision between the traxxas stampede vxl or the bullet mt. I currently have the Traxxas Stampede brushed xl-5 and love it. I was looking to get into the brushless scene and try not to spend a fortune. So I have been looking at the [...]
Does it bother anyone else at big squid that a majority of basher approved trucks aren’t sold anymore? Jamie B.Cubby– Now this is an example of a question I like, right to the point, no fluff. After asking all the guys around the office, no, it does not bother us, not a single one of us. Why doesn’t it bother us? [...]

Battery Technology Inquiry To whom it may concern, I am representing the South Dakota School of Mines SAE Aero Design team. We would like to explore the use of electric storage in our next year’s competition plane. With today’s battery technology, is it realistic to have a 22.2V battery pack that can charge between 20-100A while weighing less than about three pounds? [...]
Hi Cubby, I read that charging a lipo at a higher amperage will make my truck faster, is that true or false? Travis P. Cubby– Hola Travis, thanks for taking the time to shoot us an email. So… will charging a Lipo battery at a higher/faster rate result in higher output voltage under load, thus making your truck faster? Well I am not [...]
