Hey now everyone. Whether you be a notorious industry insider, or a first day noob, here is a hearty welcome to THE Cub Report. While I was out in Cincy last week I ran across some guys bashing in a parking lot. I don’t see guys just out bashing all that often, so of course I had to pull my rental [...]
“Best of the best!!! Dear Cub, I’m looking for the gnarliest, fastest, off-road basher I can afford. I have a goal of $800 or less. ARTR, or Kit is fine with me. Something that can handle multipule large jumps, puddles, medium to tall grass, and has enough aftermarket support to upgrade/repair my investment. I’m needing some guidance with how many options there [...]
Hello rc’ers, hello dignitaries, hello world, welcome to the latest and greatest edition of THE Freak’n Cub Report. This week is a special treat, my annual “What the BSRC Bash Crew Wants for Christmas” edition. Yup, if you are a frequent reader, and I know you are, every year I ask the crew what rc car/product they would like to [...]
“Associated and TLR Hey Cubby, Whats up? So earlier this week, the TLR 22 3.0 was “leaked” with an expected official release today 11-5. And so it was. Then, out of nowhere, Associated releases a B5M CE. Pricing is within $5, from what I can find online, so basically it comes down to if you like Losi or AE. Did [...]
Hello to one and all out in rc land, it’s another Monday which means Cub Report day to all you industry types. What shall we talk about around the water cooler today? A little bit of this, and a little bit of that… Last week saw several new 1/10th 2wd buggy releases. TLR announced their V3.0 22 buggy to the world, [...]
“Going large Hi, I’ve got a Halix and my son’s got a Yeti. Now we want to go large. I know you’ll review the X-Maxx soon but the question is are you going to compare it to the Yeti XL and maybe a few others? We’d love to see that shoot-out. Cheers, Gary” Cubby- Ya know what Gary, I think a whole [...]
Hello to one and all, welcome to another wonderful week in the rc hobby. Hopefully you were able to get in some trigger time over the weekend, I know I sure did. So… what happened in rc news last week? Not much really, pretty ho-hum… Awwww, who am I kidding, the epic news was the Texas Titan Traxxas announcing the X-Max [...]
“Trophy Truck Discussion You have a News/Blog entry online about the new bomb Axial has planted (the SCORE Trophy Truck). I don’t understand all those haters who talk about what they would do better (having their butts on the sofa), I’m just happy about what Axial does for the hobby, the hobbyists and us, the LHS’s. Thanks for supporting the scene! Dennis R. (Germany) WAKE [...]
Hey now to one and all, welcome to this week’s funtabulous Cub Report. I trust you are all ready for another wild week living the rc life. This week I have seemingly misplaced my “Wheel of Death”. The WOD basically has names on it like ROAR, Traxxas, and Associated, that I spin from time to time to see who I will [...]
“Help picking next RC Cubby — First let me say, I enjoy your Q&A articles and your website all together – It’s helped me dramatically as I step back into this hobby after a decade+ away. I would like to pick your brain for suggestions on a second RC purchase (sort of). Brief backstory: I purchased matching 1/16 E-Revo’s for my sons [...]
Hola and welcome to this week’s edition of THE Cub Report. Like several of the weeks preceding, myself and the Bash Crew have been off-the-hook busy, so seriously don’t expect much out of this CR, I have put absolutely zero thought into it (LOL). On the busy note, the manufacturers have been announcing X-Mas season new products like crazy, and the [...]
“Trophy trucks Hey Cubby, Just wondering if you had any insight as to why nobody sells a 1/10 trophy truck? I enjoy scale looking models but crawlers are just too slow for my taste. Short course trucks are fun and can be made to look pretty realistic but lack a solid rear axle. I think the new thunder tiger jackel you just [...]
Hello you bashers, hola members of the rc industry, yes, it’s time for this week’s Cub Report. So many tasty things to talk about this week, where shall I start… How about those IFMAR Worlds in Japan? Wow, what a long event, it finally got over late last week, surely to the rejoice of the American drivers. Sure, the Americans [...]
“IFMAR Hey Cubby, Just read your report on the IFMAR race. You rant makes sense to me. I follow the race on other sites, and look at the pics. It’s very interesting. I found a video interview of the owner for J concepts (you can delete the name of company if you want). I use their products [...]
Ok, so if you bash you probably could care less about the IFMAR 1/10th Off-Road Worlds going on right now in Tsukuba, Japan. If fact you could probably care less about who wins, which manufacturer’s buggy was the fastest, etc. In theory, as a hobbyist you should, but you don’t because it’s so alien to you. They (racers at the [...]
