Hello rc fans from across this great nation and all around the world, you’ve just been busted reading THE Cub Report (again). What’s on my mind? Who cares really, what’s on your mind? Nothing you say? Well here is something to get that cranium of yours cranking. FPV, first person view, you know what I’m talking about here, has been doing well [...]
“Fwiw… You can’t even sit out in the open air and smoke a cigar in 465 Seattle parks. This San Diego anti-RC bull#$%^ is apparently real, too. Totalitarianism. Look it up, it blooms a bit more every year. Jon” Cubby- Yo hey Jon and congrats, I am proclaiming yours as “Letter of the Month”, shoot us your snail mail and shirt size so you can [...]
Yes folks, we’ve kept this one pretty quiet, but This Friday we will be posting our Brushed 2wd Short Course Truck Shootout. This one has been a long time coming that’s for sure. Short course trucks have been hot for nearly a decade now, so we decided it was well past time to take arguably the top 4 2wd short [...]
“Needing direction/recommendation So Cubby, The situ here in charleston S.C. is I’m def. A noobi, but had to make the Durango-Dex8t purchase as I’ve been wanting a kit to progress my learning etc.,, but in saying that I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to picking out motor/esc & servo, I’d really really appreciate your expertise knowing you like [...]
I certainly hope you’ve been having a bash-tastic Memorial Day weekend thus far. In case you’ve been living under a rock (and some people actually get it wrong), Memorial Day is a day for remembering all those that died while serving in our armed forces. If it wasn’t for them, you and I wouldn’t be sitting here enjoying all the [...]
“Vaterra Cubby, I’m a daily passenger on the Big Squid Express. Great job. I’ve been a big fan of Vaterra since they came on the RC scene, but have been a little dissappointed lately with their off road selection. I know it’s hard to come up with the more innovative products like Axial’s Yeti every year, but I’d really like to see [...]
We really messed up this time, and by “we” I mean a whole lot of people in the traditional rc industry. We totally underestimated the entire quadcopter/drone phenomenon. What could have been a cash cow, a savior to our industry, many of us basically looked at as yet another small fad. Instead it has turned into a behemoth. In case you [...]
“Hyperion 720i NET3 (still one of the best?) I love the shootouts and reviews you guys do, keep it up. I’m in the market for my 1st charger and wanted to not cheap out and get a good one. I’m just getting into the hobby and don’t really need the Best available. Like the title states, is the Hyperion 720i NET3 [...]
If you’ve been reading THE Cub Report for any period of time, then you know back in the early days about all I ever talked about was racing. Yes, I drank the Kool Aid, for most of my life rc was solely about racing. It was what the magazines had preached, it was what the manufacturers preached, and it was [...]
“Build yourself 1/8 scale truggy Good evening sir, Been in the hobby with my 12yo son now for just over 2 yrs. Went with a rustler that had been extremely good. Now I want to go bigger and am wondering if you had any opinion on a build it yourself 8th scale truggy. Don’t need a remote or batteries, esc and motor [...]
So… over the weekend I loaded up all my gear and met up with the BSRC Bash Crew. They are truly a bunch of mis-fits, but they all are extremely hardcore about their bashing. Their cars/trucks are fully prepped for a beating, they love driving all day long, and they are all about going bigger and harder than the next [...]
“Kyosho Mad force Kruiser 2.0 VE Hi, I saw some information about this truck on BigSquid- Was wondering if you knew where they can be bought. I’ve only found one site and its overseas and will cost almost 200.00 USD to ship to me. Any help would be appreciated. thanks, Paul R.” Cubby- Yo hey Paul, as always, thanks for taking the time to shoot [...]
Aloha one and all, welcome to THE Flip’n Cub Report. Love it or hate it, it’s what all the industry types are talking about around the water cooler on Monday mornings. Hey, the Texas behemoth aka as Traxxas announced some new products at the table-top show in Vegas last week. Their two new trucks, the Skully and the Craniac, aren’t big [...]
“Hey Cubby, What’s up with the media blockout you guys have on Traxxas? You know us Traxxas owners deserve some news too! Stanley S.” Cubby- Yo, hey now Stanley, shoot us your snail mail for an extra sweet BSRC sticker pack. So about that “media blackout” you say we have on Traxxas. We have no such thing. In fact, Traxxas news usually gives our [...]
If you’ve read the CR for any period of time, you clearly know I have a passionate hatred of nitro. It stems from years of watching T-Maxx drivers grind away on “easy starts” with no success, or even when they could get the engine to pop to life, actually sitting the truck on the ground was the kiss of death, [...]
