Hello there everyone out in rc land, yup, you found it, THE Cub Report. There was no F1 over the weekend. Sigh. There was “sorta” moto (if you count X-Games, Brayton won and JLaw was there!). Sigh. At least I’ve got the last season of Breaking Bad to look forward to this Sunday. In case you missed it (read- you have been [...]
Hey Cubby~ So I figured I would come to the experts to get a real answer to my question. I purchased a Venom 8.4v 5000mAh 7-Cell for my Traxxas Slash last summer.

While HPI America has gone through some changes the last few months, they had a nice suite at the HobbyTown USA convention with lots of cool products.

“Scale” short course comments As a long time – 30 years – RC enthusiast and racer, I feel that you guys are way off the mark with your “scale” comments lately regarding short course. The class will never grow if we don’t move it more and more towards performance. We cannot go back to Slashes and hard “realistic” [...]
