Hello everyone out there in rc land, you have landed on THE Cub Report, the column that everybody, and I mean everybody, reads every week. I’m soooo burnt crispy on rc.

The BigSquidRC Bash Crew had a fantastic time at the iHobby Expo this year. For those of you that couldn’t make it, here are a bunch of photos to give you a glimpse of what it looked like to walk around the show floor.

Wow, I just got done watching the Motocross of Nations from Germany and I gotta say I was left with a very sour taste in my mouth. No, America once again didn’t really send their “A-Team”, but even still, we should have won. It was disappointing to watch ET throw away (literally) a top 2 finish in the first moto, [...]
