Thunder Tiger Sparrowhawk DT12 ReviewComing fresh off our Sparrowhawk XXT Review it was time to check out the Sparrowhawk DT12.

Hello core rc’ers, and once again welcome to a another fun-a-licious edition of THE Cub Report. Did ya see Jesse Pinkman wearing a Metal Mulisha t-shirt on Breaking Bad tonight? How core is that?

Hey Cubby, So what does the BSRC crew have planned for this summer? New vehicles to buy? Exotic vacations anywhere? New tracks or bash spots to visit? As for me, I’ve decided to try something different and out of my comfort zone…..aircraft (gasp!)….specifically helicopters. There seems to be more aircraft rc clubs (airfields included) than car/truck clubs in my area. So that [...]
