The truck Craig used was a [...]
Year after year we strive to go bigger than the last, not only on the website, but at events, shows, bashes, or wherever the Big Squid Crew might be. This year the Big Squid RC Crew went above and beyond expectations at iHobby 2014! Our schedule was insane with two huge product unveils, our own print unveil, 2 surface demos [...]
Hello all! First of all, iHobby was surely entertaining, and I had a great time bashing with the crew as one of two pilots representing BSRC. Those Dromida Ominus (or is it Omini?) sure took a beating, especially with Cubby behind the controls. Side note: apparently I shall hereby be called Kevin Hot Sauce. Please forward all questions to Tim, as I have [...]

Hola everyone and welcome to this week’s iHobby edition of THE Cub Report. So how was the show? It definitely had its ups and downs… The downs- 1. Very low dealer attendance on the first industry day (Thurs), and even worse on the second (Fri). Seriously, it was like a ghost town in the expo hall. 2. Incredibly low rc manufacturer attendance. 3. Parking on [...]
One of the many new exhibitors at iHobby was The Jeric Group. While Bill Jeric has been a force in the hobby for many years, this was the first time he had a booth to help promote the Carisma, Tuning Haus, and Prime R/C products that he distributes. Of special interest to us was the Carisma M10SC and Subaru rally [...]

Making their very first appearance at the iHobby Expo is a company called Fire Brand RC. While new to iHobby, they have been selling various rc accessories on eBay for some time. What was the coolest thing in their booth? That would have to be their very trick chassis wraps. These are available for several different models and can really [...]
Today we dropped by the Parma booth here at iHobby 2014 to check out some of their new products. New bodies on display in the Parma booth included the SpeedFlo SCT, the ’71 Muscle SC, and the ’69 Muscle Baja SC. The SpeedFlo SCT looked dialed for short course truck racing or hardcore bashing, while the Muscle series bodies offer [...]
