Yes indeed, another week, another edition of ASK Cubby. Btw, as I was walking down the halls of the ultra luxurious BSRC offices last week, one of my co-workers had the nerve to say, “Cubby, all the questions you post can NOT be real can they?”. Well folks, yes indeed they are. Truth is stranger than fiction, even the Cubverse. ========== “I [...]

One thing that really kind [...]

Well both are Traxxas, meaning they’ll have good customer support, will be tough as nails, and most importantly, most hobby shops will stock plenty of replacement parts. The Summit is better suited to low speed action, [...]
