Well hello there, I am Cubby, I am retired, and yet here the freak I am! Ya know, I was gonna do a column on saying goodbye to Doug and Jeremy. But, I’m known as a hardcore slacker, so I slacked so long, Doug retired and came back before I could even say goodbye. LOL So, goodbye Doug. You started up the [...]
Well hello there fellow rc fanatics, I’m Cubby, and I thought I was retired! If I’m so retired, what in the world I am still doing here? I am “working” today because I love the rc hobby. I consider the hobby of rc cars, as far and away the #1 hobby for any guy. Why’s that? RC gives you so much, [...]
You heard what I just said, rc racing is COOKED. It’s BENT AF, as it has now become literally a race to extinction. Who allowed this to happen? Why doesn’t anyone actually fix it? Welp, I am Cubby, and welcome to a good ole’ fashioned Cub Report. Let’s start ranting, shall we? 🙂 You may not have noticed, but in 2024 [...]
Ya know, I’m not getting paid for this! And, well, to be honest, that’s entirely my fault, as I’m the guy that decided to “retire from rc”, LOL. But see, I have a problem, I’m a loudmouth, and sometimes things just hit me in such a way, that I feel the need to spew them here on BigSquidRC. For free. [...]
Holy smokes ya bunch of bashing lunatics, it has gotten freak’n hot outside! Well, at least here in the Northern Hemisphere, summer temps are now going through the roof. Where I live, the high was 96 degrees F yesterday, and the temp will tend to stay 80 or above for the next 3-4 months. And while I personally love warm [...]
Long time, no see ya bunch of hooligans! I am Cubby, and I hope you’ve all been well over the last few months. Oh yes, retirement is so much fun, but yet it is so hard to step completely away from the hobby I love so much. Now, shall we get down to business??? 🙂 No-preppers, this week is a HUGE [...]
So I’m cruising YouTube, blowing off another day, just like any other, and I come across the crazy video below. In the video, it shows an rc truck driving around a house. You see it come down some wood stairs without scratching them. You also see the truck drive over a precious piano. You then see it drive over “Dad’s” [...]
Ya know, living the life of luxury can be hard on a man. A man can only drink so many bottles of Dom, and extinguish so many hand rolled Cuban cigars, before he feels the need to actually do something. I could go into Brian’s office and CA glue all his desk drawers shut, but where is the fun in [...]
The man, the myth, the legend, that is right I am talking about Cubby. Â The reality of not being able to enjoy a weekly Cub report or Ask Cubby is hard to imagine. I myself am a glass is half full type of person so rather than dwell on how much Cubby will be missed I say focus on how [...]
Yes, you read that correctly, THIS is the very last Cub Report, the day has finally come! I am not one for long goodbyes, and this has been in the making for a number of years, so here it finally is... One thing I am not, is an actual writer, so I’ve been burnt out on writing for a very long [...]
“Building an Arrma Limitless Yo, Cubby. All of this quarantine downtime has me thinking about starting a new build and I have my eyes on the Limitless kit. I didn’t recall seeing this covered before on Big Squid and wanted to see how you would spec one out for general parking lot bashing on 4S With 6S capability. ESC/Motor/Servo, what would [...]
Well howdy there fellow rc enthusiast, thanks for making the click over to BigSquidRC. Man, hasn’t 2020 been one heck of a wild ride? When will all the craziness stop? I for one, love the craziness as I am easily bored, but no doubt, even I have about had my fill of this year already. With that said, lets jump [...]
“RC Super Stadium Truck Hello Mr. Cubby, I have a question: As I watch Stadium Super Truck races online, I think-wow, that would make for a great RC platform. They race, they jump, they bash, they go fast and they look scale. But when I look for an RC SST, I don’t see IFS/solid rear axle. I see stadium [...]
Well, here we are, just you, and me, and a few thousand other people, so I guess I’ll say “Thank You!” for making the jump over to Big Squid for THE Cub Report. So strap on in and lets light this candle… First up, main man at BSRC Brian Smolik will be featured on this Sunday’s episode of “Collectors Call”. You [...]
