“Best Mud Tires I need some advice Cubby and I know you are the $%@#$@ man to go to. Over the Covid break I bought a new 6S Kraton which has been a lot of fun. With it raining so much where I drive, what are the best options for mud tires? Are paddles a good way to go? Preston A.” Cubby- Hola [...]
Well hello there fellow hobbyist, welcome to BigSquidRC and THE Cub Report. This week I’ll be looking over some of the new releases, as well as giving some general hobby, and even racism, commentary. Why wait any longer, lets dive right in! Here around the BigSquidRC offices we keep an “unofficial” count of “who won last week” concerning new product releases. [...]
“Ask Cubby Cubster, My six year old has been saving all the money he’s gotten for birthdays, Christmas, chores etc. and is determined to get an R/C car. He drives my Slash well in training mode. Our LHS is a bit depleted right now, but is starting to get stock back in. They have Arrma, ECX and Traxxas available to order from. [...]

Leonard B.” Cubby- Oh yes, Leonard, what about those new Pro-Line Tough Color bodies? Well, here are my thoughts- I hate to paint. Actually, I am sorry, I was wrong on that. I really, really, HATE to paint bodies. Some people love [...]
Hello there fellow rc fanatics, welcome to another wonderful week in the rc biz. Covid is still the major talking point among industry insiders, but finally some parts of the world are returning to “normal”.

“Save Me The last truck I picked up didn’t come with a servo saver. Does the truck really need one Cubby? Ramone H.” Cubby- Yo yo yo Ramone, thanks for writing in. A snail mail for a sticker pack, per the norm my friend. Does your truck “need” a servo saver? IMO, it depends. Most rock crawlers don’t use a servo saver. In rock [...]
Hello fellow remote control hobbyist, thanks for visiting BigSquidRC, the little website that could. As always, the rc industry keeps on rolling, and with many cities starting to “open up” again, life might be going back to “normal” sooner, rather than later. I can only imagine how Covid-19 will go down in the history of our hobby once it is all [...]

I hope that you, and the people that live in your [...]

“SBR vs UDR Off-road Cubby, What’s your opinion on the SBR vs UDR? My next “scale rig” is going to be a fast one, which one you like? Ward J.” Cubby- Hola there Ward, nice question ya got there.
