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 [...]
Yes indeed you are once again reading what is considered by nearly no one the best rc based pundit piece on the entire intrernet, THE Cub Report. Have you checked out the torture testing vids Brian worked up for the Electrix Boost and the Thunder Tiger DT12 SC? Why would we even post such a thing? Because… wait for it… [...]
How awesome was it on the racing scene last weekend? There was F1 from Germany, Motocross from Washington state, and the IFMAR worlds from Finland, it just doesn’t get any better than that. Congrats to Lewis “Moons Over My” Hammy for winning the German F1 GP, Ryan Dungey for winning up in Washougal, and Ry-Cav for pwn’ing the best in [...]
Hello core rc’ers, and once again welcome to a another fun-a-licious edition of THE Cub Report. Did ya see Jesse Pinkman wearing a Metal Mulisha t-shirt on Breaking Bad tonight? How core is that? Fantastic episode to begin season 4, I highly recommend. Now for something is that isn’t talked about much in our industry, perhaps one of our industry’s lil’ [...]
Yes race fans, Fernando Alonzo and Ferrari took the win at the Silverstone Formula 1 grand prix over the weekend, let those church bells ring! About dern time to see Ferrari back on top! Goodness bless Novak, the mighty Team Orange, they were the first with the balls to go full bore into brushless in 2002 and have been putting [...]
Greetings from the overly posh BigSquid offices, and here’s to hoping you and yours are thoroughly enjoying Americas independence day, I know we certainly are. BBQ + fireworks + family + rc cars = uber July 4th weekend! Our wacky BSRC bash crew spent the day in Peoria Illinois on Saturday bashing and thrashing two of Thunder Tigers new vehicles- [...]
Hola rc fans, welcome to yet another scrumptious edition of rc’s most satirical column, THE Cub Report. So… where did “Cubby’s Wheel Of Doom” land on this week? Our lovely sanctioning body ROAR of course. 🙂 ROAR has a new rule stating that cars/trucks will be required to run headlight, taillight and grill decals where applicable. Sounds great right? Sure [...]
Anybody else see Geico/Honda/Associated rider Justin “Bam Bam” Barcia huck it down Henry Hill at Budd’s Creek on Saturday? That boy has a giant set of appendages. For you guys that don’t know about “Henry Hill”, it’s a giant downhill on the Budds Creek track, and it got its name when Doug Henry accidentally stayed on the gas and [...]
Jenson Button put in one of the most epic drives in motor-sports yesterday, surviving a marathon rain delayed race to take the win in Montreal at the Canadian F1 Grand Prix. Thus far the 2011 F1 season has been a bore, but last weekends Canadian GP more than made up for the lack of pizzazz of the earlier races. [...]
Everyone is OCD in some way, shape or form, I’m OCD about market trends. As much as I’d like to think the same as an “average consumer” does, I know because of my involvement in the industry that I don’t, my views/thoughts etc are epically skewed. Unfortunately for me, my job requires that I am spot-on with market trends. With [...]
Boorah rc fans, it’s Memorial weekend and yes, even your beloved Cubby has to work. Ughhhh… the impossibly hard to live life of an internet pundit, now that’s what I’m all about. Breaking Bad- new season starts July 17th. Just say’n… Vettel won the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco over the weekend. Ughhhh…. And it’s not that I don’t [...]
Formula 1 was in Spain over the weekend and the competition still couldn’t stop of the Red Bull of Sebastian Vettel. Ferrari pilot Fernando Alonso pulled the holeshot off the grid and was looking good early in the race, but the superior pace of the Red Bull could not be denied. The next F1 race is this weekend in [...]
Hola rc fans from around the globe and welcome to yet another funk-a-licous episode of THE Cub Report. No F1 over the weekend. No Supercross, no TORC, and no LOORRS. America did host the USGP of motocross at Glen Helen over the weekend (heard they were selling deep fried Snickers bars there!), but because there were nearly no Americans racing, [...]
Just how fantastic was the full scale racing over the weekend? Pretty damn epic. Thankfully F1 was back in action, and the best drivers on the planet got pwn’ed yet again by Red Bull Racings Seb Vettel in Turkey. I’m not a big Vettel fan, so would someone else Please pick up the pace and run with the guy? [...]
