Well hello there, I am Cubby, I am retired, and yet here the freak I am! Ya know, I was gonna do a column on saying goodbye to Doug and Jeremy. But, I’m known as a hardcore slacker, so I slacked so long, Doug retired and came back before I could even say goodbye. LOL So, goodbye Doug. You started up the [...]
Well hello there fellow rc fanatics, I’m Cubby, and I thought I was retired! If I’m so retired, what in the world I am still doing here? I am “working” today because I love the rc hobby. I consider the hobby of rc cars, as far and away the #1 hobby for any guy. Why’s that? RC gives you so much, [...]
You heard what I just said, rc racing is COOKED. It’s BENT AF, as it has now become literally a race to extinction. Who allowed this to happen? Why doesn’t anyone actually fix it? Welp, I am Cubby, and welcome to a good ole’ fashioned Cub Report. Let’s start ranting, shall we? 🙂 You may not have noticed, but in 2024 [...]
Ya know, I’m not getting paid for this! And, well, to be honest, that’s entirely my fault, as I’m the guy that decided to “retire from rc”, LOL. But see, I have a problem, I’m a loudmouth, and sometimes things just hit me in such a way, that I feel the need to spew them here on BigSquidRC. For free. [...]
So I’m cruising YouTube, blowing off another day, just like any other, and I come across the crazy video below. In the video, it shows an rc truck driving around a house. You see it come down some wood stairs without scratching them. You also see the truck drive over a precious piano. You then see it drive over “Dad’s” [...]
Yes, you read that correctly, THIS is the very last Cub Report, the day has finally come! I am not one for long goodbyes, and this has been in the making for a number of years, so here it finally is... One thing I am not, is an actual writer, so I’ve been burnt out on writing for a very long [...]
“Building an Arrma Limitless Yo, Cubby. All of this quarantine downtime has me thinking about starting a new build and I have my eyes on the Limitless kit. I didn’t recall seeing this covered before on Big Squid and wanted to see how you would spec one out for general parking lot bashing on 4S With 6S capability. ESC/Motor/Servo, what would [...]
Well howdy there fellow rc enthusiast, thanks for making the click over to BigSquidRC. Man, hasn’t 2020 been one heck of a wild ride? When will all the craziness stop? I for one, love the craziness as I am easily bored, but no doubt, even I have about had my fill of this year already. With that said, lets jump [...]
“RC Super Stadium Truck Hello Mr. Cubby, I have a question: As I watch Stadium Super Truck races online, I think-wow, that would make for a great RC platform. They race, they jump, they bash, they go fast and they look scale. But when I look for an RC SST, I don’t see IFS/solid rear axle. I see stadium [...]

“Best Mud Tires I need some advice Cubby and I know you are the $%@#$@ man to go to. Over the Covid break I bought a new 6S Kraton which has been a lot of fun. With it raining so much where I drive, what are the best options for mud tires? Are paddles a good way to go? Preston A.” Cubby- Hola [...]
Well hello there fellow hobbyist, welcome to BigSquidRC and THE Cub Report. This week I’ll be looking over some of the new releases, as well as giving some general hobby, and even racism, commentary. Why wait any longer, lets dive right in! Here around the BigSquidRC offices we keep an “unofficial” count of “who won last week” concerning new product releases. [...]
“Ask Cubby Cubster, My six year old has been saving all the money he’s gotten for birthdays, Christmas, chores etc. and is determined to get an R/C car. He drives my Slash well in training mode. Our LHS is a bit depleted right now, but is starting to get stock back in. They have Arrma, ECX and Traxxas available to order from. [...]
