So Losi finally stopped with the teasing and unveiled the new Losi 8ight-T 2.0 RTR Nitro Truggy. Off the bat, I have to say 2 things really stick out. The crazy low profile body.. the thing looks like it was squished. Probably a real nice low CG! And the fact that it ships with a [...]
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Welcome back to yet another edition of THE Cub Report. Ready for a battle of the titans? This coming weekend, Air Age Media (producers of RCCA mag) and their RCX hobby expo will go head to head against the HPI, Kyosho, and Tamiya mini-show of the “Radio Control Motorsports Experience“. Both “shows” are held at [...]
Keeping the trend going, the new SHIFT body style from Pro-Line Racing is also available for the Losi 8ight-T fans. These SHIFT bodies have a super low CG and really fit snug to the vehicles.
It looks like the new SHIFT body style from Pro-Line Racing is starting to catch on as they start to produce it for some other vehicles. If you have a Losi 8ight and have been waiting for a cool new body, that time has arrived.
First up from Exotek Racing is a true heavy duty wing mount that is 100% compatible with the stock Mini LST Shock tower (mini lst2/buggy/Raminator also). Features adjustable wing height. Note the wing is NOT included. For all those that want the cool wing look as well as getting some actual usefulness that a rear wing [...]

The adapters also widen your Mini LST to 217mm, and still work with the stock axels or CVD’s. The current list of compatible [...]
So here is an interesting twist on this weeks Cub Report. Normally I’m here opening my big mouth and waiting to get a phone call from the Big Squid about how he can’t believe I would post that… well this week I got a little help. Seems someone under the name “R/C Ninja” sent Brian a little fuel for [...]
So if you are a regular reader of Big Squid RC, you will know that there has been more then a few stories and rumors about Losi and Kyosho America floating around here. Well, adding a new plot twist to the whole thing. It looks like AKA who was part of Kyosho for a long time [...]
Recently we posted a rumor about Losi buying Kyosho America which we heard from a pretty reliable source, but I just got an email from someone sitting next to Mr. Losi saying that it was only a rumor, and that it is not true. I still have a feeling that there is some big news coming out of the [...]
Since our breaking news post about Gil ‘Pops’ Losi Sr. buying Kyosho America rumor, we have been flooded with emails for us to try and confirm the news. Believe me, we are doing our best! We have phone calls into a lot of people, and will post any and all info as soon as we receive it. I [...]
OK, right now this is just a rumor, but I got a phone call that this week at a Losi Race, Gil ‘Pops’ Losi Sr. had mentioned that he was buying Kyosho America! We are doing our best here to confirm or deny this rumor. It it does happen, this is pretty darn big news! Anyone who was [...]
Gotta love 2009 already. AMA Supercross is the first “big name” racing to kick off the new year, and their season opener last weekend in Anaheim was one for the ages. James Stewart could’a, would’a, should’a PWNED. But, after some brain fade and/or Yamabog, he took out arch rival Chad Reed (and eventually Kevin Windham), and finished the first round [...]
Parma has just released their Mini Comp Crawler Body Kit for the Losi Mini Rock Crawler. It includes a detailed interior with driver all ready to be painted anyway you like. The tubular cab is designed to roll nicely and stay strong. (Maybe they will do a 1/10th scale version!) Comes clear with window masks and [...]
Exotek Racing releases the Pro Sider, a Losi Mini Slider conversion! This setup looks pretty sweet! Comes with a ton of Carbon and is ready to be built! Go check it out and get sideways! Here is a Direct Link to the info page!
As I sit here writing the last of this years Cub Reports, I can’t help but to wonder what lies ahead in 2009. Will we see any of the big name manufactures close doors due to the economy? Will the sport continue to trend toward the “basher” side of the product lines? Will the Dream Team at Kyosho put out a [...]
