“Witch kit to pick Hey Cubby I am in the market for a 1/10 scale stadium truck and I have narrowed it down to the arrma vortex BLS or the AE T4.2 RTR. I am just a general basher and I do have a small track at my house. Your opinion will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Erich D.” Cubby- Well hey there Erich, congrats on [...]
I never thought I would say it, but I think the only company that can fix rc racing is Traxxas. If you ever hit one of their rc races at a TORC event, they kept it real- REAL fun and REAL laid-back, like rc racing should be. I never thought I would say it, but driving a car with a sound [...]
“New rig purchase Hey Cubby, Not sure if this is where my question should go to? So here it goes! First I want to say I love your site! Has helped out tremendously! The layout is awesome as well! Ok on to my question! I’ve been into RC fun probably my whole life, but really into it about 5 yrs. I own a [...]
Ya know, I would really like to just report something on bashing. However, once again this week, the racing world has lost their minds, which sorta makes the bash world seem so boring. I mean, I can go bashing for weeks on end and never get into an argument or even see anyone mad, that certainly is not the case [...]
“Ask Cubby Cubby, As a result of being addicted to the site i purchased a halix on black Friday. i followed most of the upgrade (BTW thanks for the free advice) series with my own little twist of course and i love shredding just about any surface with the thing but out of curiosity what brand and size 3s battery does the street [...]
What in the hell is wrong with the racing crowd? Why do I say that? Ok, we already knew the majority of racers have turned into raging a&*hats, but here is further proof. One of our guys (read- Brian) was at a race over the weekend. He went to take some pics, hang with industry types, etc. During one of [...]
“Backyard Bash-Racing Hey Cubby, I got a backyard track that I built for my buddies, my sons, and me to “race” on. We rarely have enough people to turn marshal so we just race around and when someone gets rubber side up, we all just drive over and someone flips them over (we all have SCT’s, try doing that with a buggy [...]
In a valiant attempt to keep this week’s Cub Report terse, I’m going old school with some rants on last week’s news. First up, the $289 Pro-Line fuel stick. Wanna talk about rocking the boat? Wanna talk about getting some buzz going? When the price point was dropped on the new P-L fuel stick certain parts of the internet nearly melted [...]
“Review Request Hey Guys, I was reading through your review of the ECX Circuit and noticed that there is a newer version that ships with brushless. While I was surprised to see the original rated so well I was curios if you have had the chance to play with the newer one and how much of a difference the new motor makes [...]
Maybe you have not gotten the memo, but our industry has lost a bunch of hobby shops in the last 5 years. This is bad news, bad news for you, bad news for me, bad news for the hobby we all love so much. Now I know a lot of people hate their LHS, no doubt there are a bunch of [...]
“Ess-one sound Hi I saw you guys reviewing this product the ess-one and I don’t know if you guys could help me with this or maybe I am just bothering the hell out of you guys But how did you get your pc to see the device? Mine doesn’t even see it to actually load any new sounds in, any help would be great Thanks, Sean [...]
Ok, so who killed our industry’s largest annual trade show iHobby? Come on, raise your hand, one of you out there did it! But seriously, it is no secret that while consumers were still showing up in force, that most of the industry had abandoned the show in favor is other forms of marketing. Hence the reason there will not [...]
“Lipo in ECX Torment Hey BigSquid, I am trying to put a 2s lipo battery in my sons ECX Torment and I was told I have to change the jumpers on my speed controller but I can’t find any jumpers. When I called Horizons they said that lipo is not compatible but in your review you said to do this upgrade and [...]
There are tons of good people in our hobby, but we also have our fair share of old-school hard-heads. You know who I’m talking about, the people that had a meltdown against brushless motors and LiPo batteries, and are now losing their minds over scale realism. Last week we posted our review of the ESS-One Engine Sound module. While many hobbyists [...]
“My pro-line mt I need some advice, there isn’t anyone who has pegged the best electronics system for bashing with the new pro-line pro mt and proclaimed it as such. I just ordered a kit and there aren’t even any recommendations on their website. I know you reviewed it with a castle mamba max pro sct with 1410 series 3800 kv [...]
