“Nitro Rc Hey Cubby! I have been in the Rc hobby for almost 6 years now and am loving every second of it. I’ve got a scx-10, a P4de, and an X-Maxx, but I haven’t ever had a nitro. I would like to get into nitro, but most of the forums I have been looking at are 5 to 10 years old, so [...]
“Scale Basher? Dear Cubby, I’m looking to diversify my RC’s a little and try out a more scale rig (want to see what the fuss is all about). My concern is… I really enjoy “sending it” and I don’t think I’ll be happy slow-crawling over obstacles. So what is the traxxas slash of the scale/crawler world… the swiss-army knife per se [...]
