“Promo Vidoes I love when a company puts out a promo video. Watching them pull off amazing tricks and getting huge air is just awesome. But my question is just how many vehicles do they demolish in order to make one short video? Back in the day Tyco must have gone through 20 Vehicles just to shoot one commercial. [...]

Well hello there fellow rc fanatics, welcome back to THE Cub Report. Last week I did a bit of vacationing, thus taking a rare week off. The down time was muchoooo needed, thankfully the batteries got a solid re-charge as we head into the second half of 19′. The first half has already been wild enough, I wonder what the [...]
“ARRMA Infraction Question Hey Cubby, After driving the Infraction do you really think it is an XO-1 killer? Does it get crazy at high speeds? How about those new tires?

So… on a “normal” Thursday, ASK Cubby would appear in this spot. However, this week ARRMA pulled out all the stops and dropped not one, but two, all new on-road cars.

This weekend the BigSquidRC Bash Crew is headed to [...]
