Cub Report – The Week in Review 420 Edition
Trade shows in general are so 1980’s. Back then they were heavily attended, with huge manufacture, dealer, and consumer support. Manufactures would debut oceans of hot new products and offer large incentives to dealers. Dealers couldn’t wait to get away from their stores in middle-of-nowhere America to reap the deep discounts and to party down on some manufactures expense [...]

While there, I got to meet up with Doug, the guy who runs the events. There is a picture [...]
Team Magic Needs You! (If you have the skillz)
I get emails all the time from people asking me how they can become pro drivers, and what it takes to take their hobby and turn it into a job. Let me tell you, it’s not easy! It’s tough to get noticed by the companies that have the move to afford drivers. Well, if being a Pro is what you [...]
The el’ Cubo Report’o Version 04.13.08
Weed. So just why is it that many outdoor (and some indoor) tracks across the country have such a large proportion of racers that insist on smoking weed during races? Certainly rc racing is not set up for youth racers, as it caters more to the 30-something age set. But, rc racing should always be youth friendly, and being [...]
