“Vaterra Cubby, I’m a daily passenger on the Big Squid Express. Great job. I’ve been a big fan of Vaterra since they came on the RC scene, but have been a little dissappointed lately with their off road selection.

“Next R/C Tracked Vehicle? Cubby, Do you think any other manufacturer besides Kyosho will make a new 1/10 scale tracked vehicle? I love my Blizzard EV with the 540 brushless motor but its a bit fragile and parts are sometimes hard to find. If Traxxas, ARRMA or maybe even HPI could make one for the basher crowd do you think it would [...]
