Most American’s don’t follow Formula One racing, but, some huge news happened there this week. Honda, one of the more economically “healthy” of auto manufactures, abruptly pulled the plug on their F1 team.

Now that everyone has recovered from their turkey induced coma, let’s get down to the nitty gritty- Tebo is signed up to the hilt with the K-crew. Ya, ya, I know you heard the news days (weeks?) ago, so it’s no huge surprise. What is a bit surprising is Tebo leaving his electrics at AE, having also signed up to exclusively [...]

Welcome once again to another exciting and infuriating Cub Report! BigSquidRC.com’s top man, Brian, is not at the top of his game.

Something really cool happened this week, which seems to be rare in this era of big-buck corporate rc companies. And, no, the cool thing wasn’t a hot new car, yet another piece of blue anodized bling-bling, nor a new “super dope” high voltage lithium based cell. It was simply a piece of advertising. I’m sure many of you remember the classic [...]

This week, I’ll try my very best to keep [...]
