HobbyKing?… Denied! Just wanted to let you guys know that I went straight to your store and bought a set of stickers after reading the article about not letting HK advertise on your site. I’ve been racing (not a basher here!) RC cars for 12 years and I have never bought stickers for any of my RC vehicles. Keep up the [...]
Please help – looking for a recommendation – most durable fast RC truck – for my 20 year old son to race his 80 year old Grandpa – durability – off road, sand, rocks etc. is much more important than name brand or paint job. Looking to spend less than $150 on each, will buy one for each of them. [...]
my thoughts on the xo-1 I agree with cubby…the XO-1 is not about selling large volume and making money….it’s to make a statement! It’s like the Ferrari of R/C. Not all of us is going to be able to afford one, but somewhere in all of us, we all want one 🙂 Sxxxx Cubby– Just fyi for our readers, Sxxxx is a west coast [...]

Cubbby The rear of my E-Revo sags too much when I take off from a dead stop, it sags so much my rear skidplate is getting eaten alive, any tips? Gail Cubby– Yes indeed those Revo’s sure like to sag when you pound the gas, both the nitro and electric versions. On one hand, that’s part of what makes a Revo so [...]
Cubby what is the best body for my HPI Blitz? Tommy C. Cubby– The best body for your Blitz is whatever style you like best, so go with your own gut on this one. But… if you really can’t make up your mind- I personally like the Pro-Line Flo-Tek, especially in 2wd short course where the parachute effect is the hardest to [...]

Hey guys, Thanks for the review on the Thunder Tiger MT4 G3. I picked one up about a month ago and love it. I did upgrade the servo to a spektrum s6030 and modded the chassis to hold the battery with velcro and eliminated the goofy over tray. It is a pretty tough truck and handles great. It is loads better [...]
Dear Cub Reporter, How the hell can you only give the Novak Havoc a power rating of only 7 out of 10? I have one of those in my Slash and it’s way more power than I will ever use I would have given it a solid 9.5. Darren K. Michigan Cubby– We’ve gone round and round at the office about that very subject. [...]
