THE Cub Report- 10.31.2011- Version: SEMA Madness

Hello rc fans, you may not know it but we are staring directly at an epic week in the rc biz. Why??? Because the SEMA show is here! Ok, some people may not know what the SEMA show is so here it is in a nutshell- it’s the biggest and best full size automotive aftermarket show on the [...]

THE Cub Report- 10.25.2011- Version: Rumspringa!

My goal for iHobby week was not to punch anyone… and I was successful. As much as I hate trade shows, and as much as I hate having to sit around during long boring meetings I actually had a fantastic time spending 5 days in the Rosemont Convention Center (of course the absurd amount of money Brian was paying [...]

THE Cub Report- 10.24.2011- Version: It’s Like A Hangover

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 [...]

Those that live within driving distance of Chicago aren’t dig’n that news, but those in the Cleveland area are. 2012 [...]

THE Cub Report- 10.10.2011- Version: Lily Of The Valley

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. [...]

Advertisers Need a New Home?

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 [...]

THE Cub Report- 10.02.2011- Version: Two Raging Thumbs Up

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 [...]

THE Cub Report- 09.26.2011- Version: Pumped Up Kicks

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 [...]

THE Cub Report- 09.12.2011- If Ya Can’t Beat’em, Join’em

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 [...]

THE Cub Report- 09.05.2011- Version: Traxxas Pala National

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, [...]

THE Cub Report- 08.29.2011- Version: $52,000 Challenger Joyr…

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 [...]

THE Cub Report- 08.22.2011- Version: Ice Station Zebra

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 [...]
