Remember Gens Ace batteries? Yes, that is the same company that won not one, but two, of our LiPo battery shootouts back in the day. Now days, they are cranking out batteries of all shapes and sizes to help keep your truck running as fast as it can. It has been a while since we tested a Gens Ace pack, so [...]

Kyosho Mad Crusher VE Review
There are “monster trucks”, then there are Real Monster Trucks. The Kyosho Mad Crusher VE is a true monster truck. You see, the Mad Crusher comes with two solid axles, plus it does not have a center diff. If you are looking for a true monster trucking experience, is the Mad Crusher the bomb or a bust? Does it have [...]

Here we are, just me and you (and a few thousand other people), welcome to this week’s Cub Report. First up is our announcement for BigSquidRC “Bash Vehicle of the Year”.

Dromida Monster Truck With FPV Review
This just might be the most important review we’ve ever written. You see, FPV is the future, that is a fact. The thing is, 99% of hobbyists have never driven a car via FPV, therefore it is our job to try and relate how that works/feels to you. FPV, first person view, has absolutely blown up in the air community. However, [...]

THE Cub Report – Rewriting The Rulebook
Happy December to you, with holiday season in full swing, so is indoor racing season. If you are a noob to rc, let me explain. During the summer months most people in our hobby like to race outside. During the winter months, things typically move indoors. I don’t race either, because racing sucks. Right now everyone likes to focus on trophy [...]

Yo, how ya been? Thanks for joining us on BigSquidRC for another Cub Report. Word from the trenches is that the holiday season is off to a good start.

ARRMA Senton 4×4 MEGA SCT Review
New from ARRMA is a pair of affordable trucks in their Mega line up. Instead of 2wd, the new trucks are all wheel driven, thus making them easier to drive off-road. We’ve been testing one of the trucks, the Senton 4×4 Mega for several weeks now. With ARRMA’s great reputation and a truck loaded with features, we couldn’t wait to [...]
