“#mrt2018 Cubby, I just read the coverage for Mud rocks and tears on the front page. I wish I could have gone but was stuck at home 4 hours away.

Hello all, welcome to this week’s Cub Report. I am Cubby and once a week I write a column about the news in the rc biz. Shall we dive in? I think most people would have dismissed the PR that we posted about Traxxas reps meeting with consumers at PCH. This isn’t an uncommon practice, or at least it wasn’t in [...]
