Dear Cubby, Here is a battery question for you. I know a higher C rated battery would make a brushless truck go faster, but what would one do on my ready to run Stampede? Awesome job on the site by the way. Seth E. Cubby– Hey now, what’s up Seth? Good question, so here it is on the front page of BigSquid. Will a [...]
Dominus Wins!? Are you guys as amazed as I am (as well as everyone I know) that the Dominus, a truck that you simply can’t bash with, won the bashing bracket? That truck is such a piece of shit! Sure it’s cheap, but at $200 it can’t even drive up a jump. Is bashing considered driving around slowly in a circle [...]

G’day, Ive recently bought the Thundertiger Sparrowhawk XXT, and I’ve noticed that you guys have done a review on it. Also I’m using it for a research project, looking at what i can do to eek out as much power from the car as I can. I’m thinking battery wise, but also is there anything you can do to modify the [...]
Hi Brian and Squiddy! I am really fascinated and really wanted to own Savage Flux XS as my first decent RC. I’ve seen a lot of reviews but yours finalized my decision to purchase one. However, with all the reviews I’ve seen so far, nobody mention (or maybe I missed those parts) about the run time of lets say 2s [...]
Cubby, I’m looking at getting a mini to have fun with in and out of the house. Just wondering if you have any preference between the small scale stuff. RC18T or RC18r or losi 1/24 rally, I’ve ruled out the mini-z’s as they are indoor only. Also need to get something a 2year old can play with so a little [...]

shootouts could you maybe do a 3s lipo shootout, possibly 5000mah? and could you do a newer lipo charger shootout? and then maybe a 2.8 monster truck tire shootout? Johnathon E. Cubby– For you readers out there, here’s just a sample of a typical “Would you please do an x/y/z shootout?” email. I’ll take a guess and say we receive 20 or so [...]
Thanks Before Christmas I sent you guys an e-mail asking for some advice on getting a new truck. I was really pleased to see my question appear on your site with a suggestion of what would be best to get. I followed the advice and today went with my son for our first ‘drive’ of a HPI Bullet ST Flux. It’s fantastic. [...]
What Nitro Truggy? Hey Cubby, I’m looking to get into the race scene next year, and have recently sold off a few of my bash machines to finance a new vehicle.
