So a first look at the Axial Ridgecrest. There is almost no info around on this except that it’s going to be a AX10 model. Axial hasn’t done much with the AX10 for a while, so this may be a cool thing! I Know I really loved mine! Hopefully we will hear some news out of Nuremberg about it. There [...]
What an awesome Supercross race Saturday night! James “Bubba” Stewart is proving he needs some serious time with a sports psychologist. Bubba crashes more than the BSRC servers, and when he’s not busy crashing he’s not even close to his former “Fastest Man on the Planet” status. Speedy Reedy rode a smart race for points, it’s still early [...]
Oh yes it is, yet another salacious edition of your favorite weekly BS session- THE Cub Report. And yes, it’s Supercross time again, prepare to suffer through months of my relentless ramblings on the most uber of off road series- AMA/Feld Supercross. January 1st rings in the new year. Then Red Bull pulls off something crazy out west. Then the [...]
Nǐ hǎo rc fans, welcome to yet another funtabulous edition of THE Cub Report. Before we get started on our annual “what the staff wants for Christmas” edition of THE Cub Report, we need to give you guys a H U G E thank you! Last week was once again a record breaker for traffic on our site. [...]
The folks from Axial have updated their webpage with a ton of new details about the EXO Terra Buggy. Being the masters of scale, Axial has not skimped on the licensed parts for this buggy! To name a few, Hankook, Icon, Raceline, Fuel Safe, Griffin, Corbeau, PIAA, Wilwood, Turn Key, and there are probably a few I missed! The attention [...]
Something we just noticed here from a spy shot we received taken just before the SEMA show, the Axial EXO Terra Buggy has a branded Griffin Radiator! In this shot it has a custom painted version to show the detail. I believe the production version will be all black, but it gives you a cool idea for some customization you [...]
6 days, 4 hours and 12 minutes till Abu Dhabi, just say’n… Oh and welcome to yet another merciless butchering of the English language, aka THE Cub Report. In Traxxas news, some redneck roundy round driver named Kyle Busch got Traxxas lots of tv time over the weekend when he decided to hack a fellow pick-up truck driver into the [...]
The folks over at Axial did a great job of teasing the Wraith to the world. It started off as some silhouette shots, then we got bits and pieces of news leaked out. Nobody was 100% sure of what the truck was, or what it was meant to be, but the hype was building. When Axial finally made the ‘official’ [...]
So we finally got our hands on a early version of the Axial Wraith Rock Racer. They should be shipping to the rest of the world in a few weeks. Out of the box, there were a lot of “oooh’s and aaahh’s” for the details and look. It really does look pretty darn cool in person, and we [...]

To paraphrase Lee Iacocca Charles Wilson, as goes full scale, so goes our hobby. Axial has a new set of large tires for rock crawlers, and in the announcement for the new Ripsaws Axial says Within the 1:1 crawl & off-road race segments, overall tire diameters have been on the rise, literally and directly influencing the R/C crawl segment… [...]
So last night while watching Mythbusters, we had another RC ON TV sighting! They were trying to cause a truck to flip similar to a scene in the Hellboy movie where something smashes the front end of a truck, and the vehicle flips end over end. Mythbusters does a lot of RC, but usually [...]
Good friend of Big Squid RC, Rodney Wills (seen here in a blurry shot with yours truly) has left HPI Racing and headed off to Axial! Rodney had been with HPI for a while, and I think it’s an interesting move in the RC industry. It reminds me of another recent Axial addition. It’s great to see [...]
Well, they need you if you know what you are doing. Our friends from Axial have let us know that they are looking for a qualified product designer to work out of their so-cal office! How awesome is that?! If you have some engineering and design skills and want to apply them to some kick a$$ RC projects, [...]
I’d like to take a moment and welcome our newest sponsor, Axial Racing! Before the world was taken over by Axial crawling and scale vehicles, the basher scene was heavy into Axial motors. We are extremely happy to have Axial on board, and look forward to working with them on some upcoming projects! If your looking for a crawler, [...]
