“Important Question Cubby, I was just wondering how long before a truck comes out do you know about it? Is it a couple days, weeks, or months? Trevor L.” Cubby- Well hey there Trevor, thanks so much for sending me an “important question”. Here is my not so important answer. It depends. We don’t really attempt to keep up with new race releases, but bash [...]
Whoa, what a crazy time it was last week in the rc biz. There was some epic announcements no doubt, shall we dig right in? Yup, the Pro-Line PRO-MT 4×4 has gotta go at the top of the list for last week. If there ever was a truck solely designed for bashing, I think it has to be the PRO-MT 4×4. [...]
“Muddle-Brained fixing the rules Hi Cubby, I’ve been thinking ever since you posted your last angry letter about you complaining that RC racing is broken, Or something to that extent. So I thought I’d throw out a couple of ideas. This probably isn’t uncommon to you but it gets it out of my head so something is achieved. First fix, All the [...]

“Brushless Motors Cubby, Hi Cubby, I have been reading your columns forever, keep the good stuff coming. My question for you is this, will a lower kv motor have more torque than a higher kv motor?

“Charger Problems OK Cubby, I am having a problem charging the battery that came with my truck. It is a 3000 NIMH and my charger doesn’t want to charge it. It tries, but after a couple minutes it says the charge is over, even though the pack is nowhere near full. Do I throw away the pack or do I need [...]
So how about that weekend? Drama in the NFL, drama about nuclear Armageddon, and more drama upon drama. However, pulling some trigger on your fav rc car goes a long ways towards forgetting about whatever it is that might be eating away at you. Well, or at least it works wonders for me. A little hodgepodge anyone? First up, about that 1.9″ [...]
This week ASK Cubby is going to be different. Over on our Facebook Group, Dan posted a link to an article titled “A Critical Look: Traxxas’ Connector Crisis”, and it sounds I am supposed to respond to it.

“Transponders I was wondering what the future of lap times and transponders will be. It seems to me that with WiFi , Bluetooth, and GPS, being in everyone’s pocket the transponder companies would be selling them cheaper. I thought traxxas was making cars that transmit telemetry to your cell phone?? I’m thinking of doing a little club [...]
