THE Cub Report, Another Wild Week in RC- Version 01.30.2011
Who was the biggest mover and shaker in rc last week? Thunder Tiger/Associated!!! But first…. Rc has a new face to the masses, and his name is Peter Viera, the marketing manager for Traxxas. I only say this because Peter got some serious face time on mainstream CBS television this morning during their broadcast of the Oakland AMA Supercross. Peter [...]
Weekend bashing wrapup & broken parts tally
Sunday was a good day for bashing. I had a family gathering and decided to take a couple r/c trucks along for the fun. My choices were my Losi Highroller and DuraTrax Evader DT. My brother brought his Traxxas Stampede as well. It was a great time of curb hopping, burnouts, bootlegger turns, and donuts. I was having so much [...]
Traxxas and Peter V. on CBS AMA Supercross
Today we saw our good friend Peter Vieira of Traxxas on CBS during their coverage of the AMA Supercross in Oakland California. Peter did a couple minute segment with Pro Motocross racer Nick Way. I don’t believe they mentioned what they were driving around on the track, but it looked like E-Revo’s. Keep up the great work Traxxas and Peter! [...]

Photo of the Week:by Rafael Moyano Another weekend, another opportunity for bashing. As expected, last weekend’s plans did fall through, no ice fishing, no bashing on a frozen lake. This weekend is going to be a nice one with a family gathering for my great-grandmother’s 90-something birthday. A couple of my R/Cs are going with me (probably the Losi Highroller and [...]

Axial budget 2.4 GHz radio – AX-2
Axial really wants the budget bashers to open up their wallets today. Their new, low-cost, 2.4, 2-channel radio is about as bare bones as you can get. The AX-2 features throttle and steering trims, plus servo reversing. And… a wheel for steering… and a trigger for throttle control… oh and there’s an on/off switch too! Ok, so it doesn’t really have [...]
