Well hello there friends, thanks for dropping by BigSquidRC. Back in the good old days I would do sort of an “introduction” to the website from time to time for new readers. After all, if there is one thing that rc is good about doing, that is bringing in new people. So for those of you who haven’t been reading [...]
“3D Printing from the local Hobby Shop Hey Cubby! Do you think hobby shops would invest in 3D printing machines and the software to draw people back? Having someone on-site who could lay down your ideas into software like Blender or AutoCAD and print it on-site would be pretty neat. Even having someone there to reproduce that hard to find broken part would [...]
Well hello there friends, welcome to another week of THE Cub Report. As the most hated person in rc, there has gotta be something good in this week’s report, let’s see… First up is the BigSquidRC 1.9″ RTR Scaler Shootout. We are about 99% done with testing, now comes the hard part, putting it all into words. LOL. Oh my gosh, [...]
“PRC QX-4 Hi There, I read your newsletter every day and wonderd if you could do a review of the PRC QX-4 that seems to be made by FS Racing. I’d like this for my boys for Xmas for inside crawling… are there any alternatives? Regards, Marc” Cubby- Yo Marc, aren’t you a lucky guy! I am proclaiming your email as “Letter Of The Month”. [...]
Where are all the posts at? LOL, well, we’ve been out of the office a lot the last few days, so our entire crew is in recovery mode at the moment. No worries though, posting will get back to normal tomorrow. Everyone wants to know, how was the Rocky Mountain Hobby Expo? Well, it was better than expected for consumer foot [...]
“Just a question or two from me to you Hiya Cubby, My scaling plans involving the TRX 4 and or the Barrage are on hold due to being poor. So instead, I’m dusting off and giving some love to my older RC Cars. I am re purposing my Anza Slash and turning it into an Anza Pro-MT! The Anza and the [...]
Oh yes, here we are, late October. The air is crisper, the leaves are falling, yet we are still outside driving rc cars like we just stole them. Bashing is a good thing, our staff hopes you had a good time over the weekend going huge while getting your bash on. Hey, it’s trade show week!!! It’s been a while since [...]
“Important Question Cubby, I was just wondering how long before a truck comes out do you know about it? Is it a couple days, weeks, or months? Trevor L.” Cubby- Well hey there Trevor, thanks so much for sending me an “important question”. Here is my not so important answer. It depends. We don’t really attempt to keep up with new race releases, but bash [...]
Whoa, what a crazy time it was last week in the rc biz. There was some epic announcements no doubt, shall we dig right in? Yup, the Pro-Line PRO-MT 4×4 has gotta go at the top of the list for last week. If there ever was a truck solely designed for bashing, I think it has to be the PRO-MT 4×4. [...]
“Muddle-Brained fixing the rules Hi Cubby, I’ve been thinking ever since you posted your last angry letter about you complaining that RC racing is broken, Or something to that extent. So I thought I’d throw out a couple of ideas. This probably isn’t uncommon to you but it gets it out of my head so something is achieved. First fix, All the [...]

“Brushless Motors Cubby, Hi Cubby, I have been reading your columns forever, keep the good stuff coming. My question for you is this, will a lower kv motor have more torque than a higher kv motor? I have a pair of Dynamite 540 brushless motors. The two motors have a different kv, yet both feel like they have the same torque. Everybody online [...]

“Charger Problems OK Cubby, I am having a problem charging the battery that came with my truck. It is a 3000 NIMH and my charger doesn’t want to charge it. It tries, but after a couple minutes it says the charge is over, even though the pack is nowhere near full. Do I throw away the pack or do I need [...]
So how about that weekend? Drama in the NFL, drama about nuclear Armageddon, and more drama upon drama. However, pulling some trigger on your fav rc car goes a long ways towards forgetting about whatever it is that might be eating away at you. Well, or at least it works wonders for me. A little hodgepodge anyone? First up, about that 1.9″ [...]
