What a week that was! Rarely do I show up to these things and actually make my presence known, but Brian thought it could be interesting, or at least make good video if people I haven’t been so nice with caught me in their booth, or caught me in the Big Squid RC booth. Luckily for everyone the [...]
Hola rc tifosi, welcome to your weekly Cub Report. It’s all about iHobby this week. The iHobby show is the largest rc expo in the good ole’ U S of A, and 2011 is its last year in Chicago. Those that live within driving distance of Chicago aren’t dig’n that news, but those in the Cleveland area are. 2012 [...]
What a weekend of racing, Formula 1 was blitzing around Suzuka in Japan while the Bathurst 1000 was taking place down under. Every time I see a “real” road course (like both of those) I feel sorry for our rc guys racing on flat ozite tracks. If they only knew how fun/challenging a road course can actually be. [...]
So, I’m not sure when this all went down, or the actual full story behind it, but it looks like RCU and RCTech have worked some sort of joint advertising deal with Internet Brands (ib). They are this huge uber company that’s been buying up tons of other popular website, and then sells advertising to huge companies based on [...]
Hey it’s Monday morning, time to get this week in rc started off right with THE Cub Report. Did you know people still race on-road rc cars? Yes, I know they are dead at the local level but the International Indoor Champs in Vegas is still alive and well. Most of the “big name” on road guys from across [...]
Yes indeed it’s that time again, time for yet another funtabulous edition of THE Cub Report. We are sooo far behind on testing gear around here, which is a nice position to be in of course, but we are having trouble findings good spots to test at. While we do a lot of our testing in typical bash conditions [...]
Well howdy there rc fans how nice of you to join us yet again for a lovingly crafted Cub Report. There is only one thing to talk about this week, Traxxas and their TORC series, so here we go… Ok, if you are a Joe Blow rc type you can tell Traxxas is kick’n every other companies a$$ on the [...]
Has it already been another week? Omg does time fly in the wonderful world of rc. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery right? I guess Xtreme RC Magazine really digs us then as they’ve got their version of Jeff’s long running “R/C Around The Web” column in their magazine now. And yes of course, Jeff’s version is vastly [...]
Funny how the meltdown emails come in every week when I dare mention anything about motocross. Yup, I spam motocross pretty hard in every Cub Report, and I do it not only because I can, but because there are many direct ties between that sport and ours. With that said… Something huge is going on this coming weekend. Traxxas, [...]
(CONTEST is officially over.. see the update) Ok folks.. here we go! Decided to make you guys work a little more this time.. Don’t worry.. it’s not too difficult. Comments are ON for this post. You must comment on this post on BigSquidRC.com. (NOT the post on facebook). I’m not telling what you may win, till someone wins it. [...]
Just a reminder…”Win Cubby’s ???” contest will be happening around 8PM cst! I won’t be announcing how the contest will work till then. And I won’t be telling you what you can win, until someone has won it. You are just going to have to trust me.. you do trust Cubby right? Got to run.. Brian just stepped out of his [...]
Yes, I’m just like most of you guys, there simply isn’t enough time in the day (or days in the week). I spent the first part of the weekend trying to escape from Hurricane Irene. Then I hauled butt back to help out the BSRC bash crew on our latest shootout. Then of course I had to catch [...]
There was no F1 race last weekend, nor an AMA motocross… and uggghhh it rained enough on Saturday to waterlog every rc track this side of the Mississippi. Normally I’d have considered the weekend an entire loss and confined myself to the man-cave with a bottle of Jonnie Walker green label, but I looked at the brighter side [...]
Welcome to yet another exciting week in our wonderful hobby of rc. 🙂 What was the big rc news last week you might ask? HPI announcing a new gas (not nitro) powered monster truck coming in 2012, that’s what. I guess the obtuse might have just blown right by that PR, but I saw it as the first sign [...]
As DJ Lance Rock likes to say “Hello friends!”, and welcome to more anarchy right here on BSRC. Everyone at the track today just had to ask me, “How was the RC Car Action Magazine RCX show?”. Well… I got to the party late (hitting the doors about 3 pm) so I hear I missed the big crowds. Brian said [...]
