Whoop, here it is, this week’s Cub Report. If you are new, welcome aboard for the ride, if you are an old schooler, nice to see you again, if you are a hater, you aren’t the first, nor will you be the last. Lets get started by jumping right in… Yo, March Bashness is getting super close. As I mentioned last [...]
Well howdy there all you rc fanatics, I hope you had unseasonably warm temps over the weekend to get your bash on. Locally we’ve been truly blessed with insanely warm weather, perfect for allowing us to gather up our Bash Crew to flog our personal trucks. First up this week is a mention about our upcoming “March Bashness” contest. Oh yes, [...]
Hello there rc fans, welcome to another Cub Report. What is THE Cub Report? Mostly rambling, mostly (but not all) about rc, mostly smack talk, but always a good way to blow 15 minutes. While I would love to go on yet another epic rant, there were some interesting product releases last week that I would like to talk about. IMO the [...]
Hello to one and all, thanks for stopping by to check out yet another Cub Report. We are getting a break in the weather here in the Midwest, we hope your weather is allowing you to get in some trigger time too. I am gonna go old school again this week, here are my notes from some of the more prominent [...]
Hello one and all, I hope you all had a great weekend out bashing with your friends. Welcome to yet another week in the hobby and to another funtabulous Cub Report. A few weeks ago I learned than an acquaintance of mine had been banned from his local indoor track. That didn’t surprise me as he has been banned from a [...]
Here we go folks with another tantalizing week in our wonderful hobby. With every week that passes we get that much closer to spring. I for one can’t wait for the cold weather to disappear (only to be replaced by 90 degree temps with 90% humidity). Thanks for joining us on Big Squid, let’s jump right in shall we? Yup… it’s [...]
Ya know what? Everybody hates cheaters, but me in particular, I absolutely loathe them. They are lower than a quadcopter’s price at a gas station and deserve every bad thing that happens to them. For example… a bunch of years back I was racing at an indoor track in Albion Illinois (the name was Rectors I think?). This was in Southern [...]
Hello there fellow hobbyists, I trust you got your week off to an awesome start and thanks for once again reading THE Cub Report. I don’t know how many of you follow Supercross, but I have been an avid racer/rider since the mid 70s and Anaheim II was one heck of a spectacle last weekend. The invincible Ken Roczen found [...]
Oh yes, this Cub Report has been a long time coming. I have held off for quite some time, but it had to be written, so here it is. The first paragraph, well, about 99.99% of you can simply skip because you’ll have no idea what I am talking about, but to the .01% of people in the industry that [...]
Hello to everyone out in rc land, welcome to this week’s Cub Report. I am finally recovering from all the excitement around A1 where The Suit K-Roc took the win in dominating fashion, backing up that he can wear whatever he wants to press conferences. The Dunge put in a solid ride, Marvin was hot on his heels, and El [...]
With today being January 2, I hope all of you are fully recovered from your raucous New Year’s Eve celebration. Mine was spent with a bunch of kids running around my house, kids that were amped-up on fruit punch and candy bars. Yes, it was wild, but thankfully my house still stands. After talking to a bunch of different people in [...]
So here we are folks, another year is in the books. I guess if you are a young fella, the year went by slowly, but for us old farts, it seemed to blow right by. Here is my look back on 2016, yet another wild year in the rc hobby. In industry news… Drones, drones, and more drones. These 4 rotored hornets [...]
Well howdy there pardners, happiest of Mondays to you and I hope you aren’t sitting in an ice box like we are. The weather here has totally gone out the window, something that I wish a lot more southerners would experience. There is 8 inches of snow outside and the high yesterday was zero. The HIGH was ZERO. Conditions like [...]
Hello rc fans, welcome to this week’s Cub Report. I trust you are all dialed in for the X-Mas season and that you’ve been a good boy (or girl!) all year to get that special remote control gift under the tree on Christmas morning. While there is a normally a lull in the big rc news from just before Black Friday [...]
So… there was a video that got the internet all riled up last week, one that even I can’t resist but to comment on. Ya, you’ve probably seen it already, it was a video of Josh Cyrul pulling trigger on a 2S powered 1/12th pan car and he makes some controversial remarks about IFMAR. It seems that IFMAR has now [...]
