Last week I wrote about how it was too warm and I was too lazy to go to my usual spot in the park for drifting, so instead did some drifting around the BBQ in the back. At the end of the day, my previously very shiny body was not so shiny any more, since it happened to be a [...]
After several weeks of gloomy skies, wet weather and cold temperatures, the midwestern early-winter broke for a fantastic Sunday afternoon. The weather was so nice that I did something that I haven’t for quite a while- went on a Missouri River trail run. My “White Wolf” Traxxas TRX-4 Sport was just dying to hit a mud hole, and that would [...]
Thank goodness, another week is in the books, as well as one week closer to the holidays being over. Hey, I love the holiday season, but it does get extra busy this time of year. Hence the reason I can’t wait for the slower times of January. For rc news, the crew at Horizon Hobby lead the pack last week. We [...]
The scale crawler world has more than its fair share of small businesses for you to shop from. But what happens when a small RC company starts to grow and become a household name in the crawler hobby? ScalerFab is perfect example of a small company putting in the work while still being hungry enough to go the distance. The [...]
“T2T Braces Hey Cubby, what is the best T2T brace for my Kraton? I like hitting big jumps and want to stiffen up my rig! Captain B.” Cubby- Hello there Captain, I hope you and Mrs. Tennille have been doing well. 🙂 So, about those tower-to-tower braces… I am personally not a big fan of them for hardcore bashing. Years and years ago I tried [...]
The first cut is the deepest, sang Cat Stevens about love. RC cars weren’t even invented back then, yet his words ring true in our hobby. Christmas is coming, winter is not. At least not where I live, on the southern hemisphere. Summer has only just started, it seven o’clock in the evening and almost uncomfortably warm inside. Had I not [...]
Hey everyone, happy holidays to ya! Yeah, crazy the holidays are here already, right? In case you were wondering what’s on my list, I’ve been extra good this year in the hopes that the big man will drop off one of those gigantic 1/5 scale Primal RC Raminators! Hey, so I just got a mystery box from the JConcepts crew and [...]
Well hello there fellow rc enthusiast, my name is Cubby and this is my weekly report. The world of rc is always interesting, as well as full of new products announcements. Without delay, lets just dive right on in... Last week we got a chance to message briefly with RJ Blaisdell from TheToyz.com. We are stoked to say that RJ seems [...]
Its black Friday and most people are thinking about who has the best deals. Then you got me, and all I can think about is, “what does Redcat Racing have up their sleeves?” First, it was a new logo and by the way, Redcat Racing, it looks killer. Then, a couple of weeks ago we started to see some posts [...]
My humble drift column and my preaching of all things good about drifting seem to be up against some tough opposition as of late. The coming of the gargantuan Arrma Kraton 8S, sure got quite a bit of (well deserved) attention, and with all the talk on that one, and comparisons with the X-Maxx all over the internet, drifting is [...]
“Down the road a ways Cubby, The hobby sure seems to have changed over the last two years, where do you see it 5 years from now? Manny W.” Cubby- Hey there Manny, thanks for taking the time to write me an email. I tend to get a lot of questions like this, and tend to skip over a lot of them, but sure, [...]

My friends at the So Cal RC Monster Truck Series are holding their big Winter Finals on December 7th at Hot Rod Hobbies. For more info, check ’em [...]
Well howdy there rc hobbyist, thanks for visiting us at BigSquidRC. Here at BSRC, we dedicate ourselves to the “basher” side of the hobby. What is a basher? That’s a hobbyist that spends most of their time driving in their backyard or local park. If you are a basher like us, props to you! Lets jump right on in… Hummm… so [...]
Carisma RC recently hooked us up with some rigs to play around with and see what we think. Tim and Cubby got the 1981 4-Door Range Rover Classic and I got the SCA-1E LWB 1976 Ford F-150. I have been keeping a close eye on the Carisma Ford F-150 since it was released since I love me some Fords from [...]
“New 1/5 Kraton vs X-Maxx Shootout!!! Shootout!!! Shootout!!! Which one is really better Cubby? Sincerely, George L.” Cubby- Hey ya there George, nice letter ya got there. But seriously, thanks for writing in. Remember, a snail mail gets ya one of our sticker packs. So… I do happen to have a lot of back-to-back driving experience between the new 1/5 Kraton 8S and the Traxxas [...]
