Hola rc world, time to get another week in the wonderful world of rc started. This week I have a couple things on the agenda… Hey, did ya know that we are holding our first big bash of the year this Sunday? If you did, great, you actually do read the site, if not, now ya do. The event is called [...]
“March Bashness Cubby, I have been voting all along this year’s March Bashness, who do you want to win? Charles B.” Cubby- Yo hey ya Charley… thanks for the email and guess what? I am naming yours as “Letter of the Month”. You know what that means right??? Shoot me your snail mail and sizing info for a quite uber BigSquidRC t-shirt. So who do [...]
Well hello there rc world, with any luck you were able to get outside and enjoy some good weather over the weekend (and get in some trigger time too!). As the picture above shows, the BSRC Bash Crew certainly had a good time, bashing (read- abusing) a bunch of review products and hang’n with lots of good people. About that picture [...]
Hey gang, happy April! With warmer weather outdoor events loom here in the midwest and I could not be more stoked about it. We undoubtedly got away with another mild winter (Global Warming) but i’m really not complaining. Yes I’m a hearty midwesterner who laughs at Californians who wear winter coats when it’s 60 degrees, but that doesn’t mean I [...]
“HPI/Traxxas Merger Hey Cubby, Just saw the article about the possible HPI/Traxxas merger. If it’s true, what do you think that would mean not only for Traxxas, but for the industry as a whole? I hope that the HPI bodies would still be available and that maybe Traxxas would change some of their platforms. I know you’re position on racing, but HPI [...]
Hummmmm… the rc world is so boring, I wonder what we should talk about this week… Oh ya, I guess I can talk about the one and only thing the rc community is melting down over right now, BigSquidRC’s March Bashness! Ok, so ya, March Bashness kicks ass and you really should be voting until your fingers bleed, but I guess [...]
“ASK Cubby Hey Cubby, As you know, I’m a big fan of Big Squid and this weekly piece. My question is about those beautiful wallpapers. What’s the deelee-o with the monthly calendar? Those images were going up on my desktop at work for the most of last year. Now I have a boring generic blue yawner. Any [...]
At a bash over the weekend, I witnessed something peculiar. I’ve been in the hobby since the Earth cooled, but I had never seen this before. A youngster drove his Vaterra Ascender over to my pit area, sat his transmitter down, then walked away to meet up with his Dad. 45 minutes later, he came back over, picked up his [...]
“iHobby 2016….train edition? Cubby, What was the deal with iHobby this year? Kudos to Horizon for coming out, but literally everyone else but parma was a no show, including you guys. What gives? I had a few trucks in my car waiting to see if there was a place to run, but nothing. I was so excited to see all kinds of new stuff, [...]
Whoaaaaa… did you happen to catch the big FPV drone race in Dubai called the World Drone Prix 2016 last weekend? If you did, and if you are anything like me, then your head probably exploded when the dollar figures were dropped. Hey, this is rc, there are no dollars here, so what am I talking about? How about a [...]
“Lipo charger shootout Have you done a lipo charger shootout for chargers with 2 outputs? Thank you Danny” Cubby- Hey ya Danny, shoot us your snail mail so we can get some stickers headed out your way. So… have we ever done a dual output battery charger shootout before? The answer is… yes, and no. We’ve only done one charger shootout and it included 6 [...]
So it was my bad, I thought it would be a good idea to check out the ROAR 1/10th carpet nats over the weekend. Sure, the event was held in at a primo track. Sure it had a bunch of big name factory shoes in attendance. Sure there was all sorts of high-tech rc goodness there. But what it was [...]
“Regarding RC4WD Cubby: It’s nice to hear you are, at last, going to get your RC4WD project [and have another sponsor]. I’m a bit envious because their stuff certainly is eye candy. You might pass along to them that they annoy their customers and lose a lot of business because they are always “Out of Stock”. I owned a business [...]
Yes, I know today only exists once every four years, yet here we are with another Cub Report. Sometimes THE Cub Report is about news, sometimes it is about racing, heck, sometimes it is even about rc. Ok, so most of you bashing types have never heard of Jilles Groskamp, but he is a big league on-road racer who recently announced [...]
“fun class Hey Cubby, We built our small onroad track around a fun class. We’re using stock Vaterra onroad V100 cars with a 2S battery and getting a very positive response from the community around here. It’s affordable, fun, and competitive and there are some very sick bodies available. We still run a 17.5 sedan class, 2wd buggy class, a [...]
