Greetings and salutations fellow rc’ers, and welcome to yet another week in our beloved hobby. Life seems good for many people in our industry- sales are up, people are smiling, product is move’n out the door. For others, the less forward thinking, sales seem a bit stagnant, that pesky rent check keeps getting harder to cut, and life [...]
shootouts could you maybe do a 3s lipo shootout, possibly 5000mah? and could you do a newer lipo charger shootout? and then maybe a 2.8 monster truck tire shootout? Johnathon E. Cubby– For you readers out there, here’s just a sample of a typical “Would you please do an x/y/z shootout?” email. I’ll take a guess and say we receive 20 or so [...]

I want to get my son a r/c for xmas. I like the Torment for the 2.4ghz radio but he likes the monster truck look of the ruckus. I was thinking I could do a cheap 2.4 radio in the ruckus. What truck did you think was more durable? What would you suggest? Thanks Ryan J. Cubby– Yo thanks for the email [...]
Please help – looking for a recommendation – most durable fast RC truck – for my 20 year old son to race his 80 year old Grandpa – durability – off road, sand, rocks etc. is much more important than name brand or paint job. Looking to spend less than $150 on each, will buy one for each of them. [...]
my thoughts on the xo-1 I agree with cubby…the XO-1 is not about selling large volume and making money….it’s to make a statement! It’s like the Ferrari of R/C. Not all of us is going to be able to afford one, but somewhere in all of us, we all want one 🙂 Sxxxx Cubby– Just fyi for our readers, Sxxxx is a west coast [...]

Racing The Horizon ECX Torment Short Course Truck By: Tim Mohr During the 2011 iHobby Expo the BigSquid guys got in a rather heated debate, we knew the ECX Torment was a good basher, but could it actually win a race? Cubby was rather vehement that it was impossible, even at the local level, while I was sure that indeed it could. Once [...]
Cubby what is the best body for my HPI Blitz? Tommy C. Cubby– The best body for your Blitz is whatever style you like best, so go with your own gut on this one. But… if you really can’t make up your mind- I personally like the Pro-Line Flo-Tek, especially in 2wd short course where the parachute effect is the hardest to [...]

The ECX Smash, 1/18 scale monster truck, is making an appearance at the Horizon Hobby booth. There isn’t any new info that hadn’t already been released last week, but it’s nice to have this thing in hand and get a good look at it. One nice tidbit is that since it’s based on the now discontinued Losi Mini-T, [...]
