First up, before I get to the meat of THE Cub Report, I have some good news. Big Squid RC Monthly issue number 2 is shipping today! Yes, they will be on hobby shop counters as early as Tuesday! What does it take to get a FREE copy? It’s gonna take a visit to a local hobby shop. While you [...]
Hola amigos (and amigas) and welcome to yet another satirical look at the rc world, THE Cub Report. The next issue of Big Squid RC Monthly is just a few days away from shipping. We posted an incomplete listing of hobby shops that will have the monthly on their counters a couple of weeks ago, once issue 2 is shipping we’ll [...]
As the years have passed I’ve become a grumpy old man (Yes, even grumpier than before). Every day it seems more and more things trip my trigger. It might be something small like how a woman takes 4000% longer to use an ATM than a man does, or something that really truly torques me off, like fake Facebook likes. Why would [...]
You know it’s gonna be a good day in rc when your LHS calls and says the Happy Flower Bashmobile you’ve been waiting on for 3 months just came in. You know it’s gonna be a bad day when you show up 4 hours later just to find out they already sold it to someone else. You know it’s gonna be a [...]
A decade of bashing down, BSRC is officially 10 years old, even we can’t believe it. Nor can we believe that a lil’ ole website like ours could help change the face of rc, but it has. So where do we go from here? Ya, for sure it’s hard to top what we’ve done, but being who we are we are [...]
Hey, first things first, don’t forget that this weekend is our huge, way-over-the-top, 10 Year Anniversary Bash & Party. We’ll be going big, crashing hard, eat’n cake, and giving away some way super dope gear. Like what? Like a brand new nobody-can-buy-yet Axial Yeti XL and a top of the line Futaba 4PX. All you have to do to win [...]
Hola everyone and welcome to this week’s iHobby edition of THE Cub Report. So how was the show? It definitely had its ups and downs… The downs- 1. Very low dealer attendance on the first industry day (Thurs), and even worse on the second (Fri). Seriously, it was like a ghost town in the expo hall. 2. Incredibly low rc manufacturer attendance. 3. Parking on [...]
Yes, the BSRC Bash Crew gets really slammed the weekend before the iHobby Expo, so I’ll keep it short this weekend (read- I always say that, and it never happens… LOL). Here are the best reasons to attend iHobby this weekend in Schaumburg Illinois. 1. We’ll be world premiering a HUGE new release in our booth on Thursday at 11 am CST. [...]
Ya know, THE Cub Report is a lot like a box of chocolates too, you just never know what you are gonna get. It can be weeks of boring “ho-hum” stuff with a rare nugget of good stuff buried here or there. This week however, is a “good” one, so keep on reading… So… I’ve been teasing about some huge [...]
Hello RC World, thanks for making your way to BigSquidRC, and welcome to yet another Cub Report. First up, BigSquidRC News… Have you noticed, we’ve been on a roll the last couple of years. If you have not, you sure will in a few weeks at iHobby. We’ve got multiple HUGE things going on in our booth. Like… make the dinosaur media [...]
Most of the rc industry refuses to acknowledge they are part part of the greater automotive industry. It seems many people in the rc industry are content to just be a “toy manufacturer”, instead of reaping the benefits of cross pollinating with people inside the full scale automotive industry. This may be something that has never crossed your mind, but [...]
Hello one and all, I certainly hope you are all having a most enjoyable time for Labor Day. I have been putting in a lot of trigger time lately, so while you are reading this I’ll be at my favorite riding spot yanking some 1:1 throttle and hopefully catching some big air with buddies. On the subject of trigger time… You may [...]
One of the most interesting trends that I’ve been hearing more and more about behind the scenes is about kits. You remember them don’t ya? Where you buy a new car, open the box, and all you see is part trees? From what I’ve been hearing there are several manufacturers that would love for them to come back into fashion. As [...]
Hey now everyone, thanks for tuning in to yet another Cub Report, where all the cool industry types get their water cooler fodder. How was our SoCal trip? Man, I hate to use the word “epic” as it will make me sound arrogant (read- guilty as charged), but ya, that pretty much sums up our trip. If you are “in the [...]
As the title states above, this is indeed a “quick-n-dirty” edition of THE Cub Report. Instead of laboring for days making sure the CR is something that would put anything Donald Barlett ever wrote to shame (read- in my dreams), today’s CR is mainly a quick tease. This weeks CR’s has to be short because the BigSquidRC Bash Crew is once [...]
