“Suggestion/ Thanks First off, awesome website with a ton of usefull info. I recently got back into the rc hobby after about decade. Boy was I surprised when I ripped down the block with brushless for the first time and then promptly “needed” to jump my real car and have my neighbors questioning my sanity as they stood around waiting for [...]
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 [...]
“MT410 and Barrage Hi Cubby, When are the mt410 and Barrage reviews going up? Thanks, Scott H.” Cubby- Yo hey Scotty, thanks for the email. If you shoot me your snail mail we will get ya the hook up on one our world famous sticker packs. Ya know Scott, I finished up the Tekno MT410 review last week and the ECX Barrage review is pretty much [...]
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 [...]
“R/C Fun Run in Wapakoneta, Ohio Have you ever though of a ROAD TRIP TO Wapakoneta, Ohio. We are know for our out of this world flight. Wapakoneta is the home of that Famous Neil Armstrong, first to the moon. At our annual Fun Run we have a Long Jump Contest, Big Air contest, and more. This our 15th year, we [...]
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 [...]
“In need of a very simple, frank answer. Hi cubby, Its me again. This question is impossible to research and Im quite seriously getting depressed about this. This question does not need to get posted or anything Im just looking for a short, sweet, dry answer from someone who can actually answer it. Is our hobby dead? I want to premise this [...]
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 [...]
“Cub Report Question Hey Cubby, I love running my trucks around larger outdoor tracks but am not really into racing. What do you think would be a good basher type tuck to take to a larger track to have some serious fun? I like the new Arrma trucks and the new Losi Rock Rey could be a lot [...]
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 [...]
“300 Bucks To Spend Hey Cubby, I have 300 bucks to spend, what should I buy? Jeremy C.” Cubby- Well hey now Jeremy, thanks a ton for the letter. As you didn’t specify you wanted an rc car, here is my list of fun stuff to buy around $300. 1. A Donald Trump spray tan inauguration party. 2. A Billet Spin Infected Specimen pocket top. 3. [...]
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 [...]

What I mean by rc and you guys helped save my life is this: (short version) I’m 43 and I’m from Pennsylvania. Great family good up bringing i accelerated at sports [...]
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 [...]
“Arrma Outcast Hey Cubby, I gotta say, I’m surprised Big Squid isn’t dripping with material about the Arrma Outcast yet. Sure, it’s just another Losi Muggy formula, but the bash-ability can’t be argued with… nor the manufacturer support… or the durability… or 40mph wheelies across a field on 4S and 16/50 gearing. Sure there is the Tekno MT410 which follows the same [...]
