THE Cub Report, Version 12.15.09, Your Week In RC

Don’t you just love the rumor mill? I sure do. 🙂 Biggest rumor of the week- That a Traxxas 8th scale buggy is on the way in the summer of 2010. Traxxas isn’t about racing, they are about making money, and the 8th scale market is one of the few that they do not dominate. I really have no idea what a [...]

The Cub Report, 09-09-09

So Yamaha finally showed their all new 2010 YZ450F yesterday. New from the ground up, it features a radically different airbox/cylinder/carb setup than any previous production motocross bike. The amount of “pre-hype” for the bike was huge, as it should have been on such an innovative design. And while bike sales spiraled downward during the poor economy, the Yamaha 2010 [...]

Traxxas Slash Gets Hardcore!

The Traxxas Slash has made a huge impact on our hobby. Even though it may look scale on the outside, the internals of the chassis hardly resemble the full size CORR trucks it takes after. RC4WD and a member of the scale RC community, Katan, are collaborating to change all that. Their creation is the Hardcore [...]

Traxxas Mini Slash in House!

We recently mentioned the Traxxas Mini Revo that was in the office, now it’s time for the Traxxas’ 1/16 Mini Slash VXL pictures! It looks and feels different enough to where it actually seems like a different vehicle. We were thinking the two trucks would be very similar, but apparently not. The local hobby shop had a [...]

THE Cub Report, 06.14.09, Your Week In RC

The Traxxas Mini-Revo and Mini-Slash are hitting hobby shop shelves as we speak. This is a bit historic, as it’s Traxxas first entry into the sub-10th scale category. After a quick check of LHS’s and on-line retailers, it sounds like the Mini-Revo is outselling the Mini-Slash four to one. After seeing the 10th scale Slash become such a mega-hit, you’d [...]
