“Comment on your story Hello. I can no longer comment on your stories because I do not have a facebook account AND I never will have one. But I wanted to email you the comment that people should read. I wanted to start a hobby shop. Then I found out to become a dealer I had to buy from a hobby distributor. [...]
THE Cub Report- 03.29.2015, Version- Things The Wifey Hates.…
Lets face it, most bashers are men, and while a wife or girlfriend is a neccessity in life, a good one can be hard to find. Specifically by “good one” I mean one that puts up with her man being an rc hobbyist. For example… My wife absolutely hates it when I bake tires off the rim in our oven. Actually, I [...]
RC Gear Shop WinKing Standard Metal-Gear Servo Review
If you’ve been a basher for very long then you already know that you can never have enough servos in your toolbox. Inevitably, during a hard bash session, you (or one of your buddies) will tag a curb and lunch-out a servo unexpectedly. RC Gear Shop has a new line of very affordable servos. They are intended to replace stock [...]

ASK Cubby, 03.26.2014, Version- Better Call Cubby
“Witch kit to pick Hey Cubby I am in the market for a 1/10 scale stadium truck and I have narrowed it down to the arrma vortex BLS or the AE T4.2 RTR. I am just a general basher and I do have a small track at my house. Your opinion will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Erich D.” Cubby- Well hey there Erich, congrats on [...]
ARRMA Typhon BLX 1/8 Buggy Mini-Review
With the 10th scale ARRMA RC vehicles becoming legendary among the basher crowd, ARRMA decided to take it up a notch and start producing 8th scalers. We’ve been bash/crash/thrash testing the Typhon BLX 8th Scale Buggy for weeks to see if it lived up to the ARRMA reputation for speed, durability, and handling. How does the Typhon stack up? Is [...]

THE Cub Report, 03.23.2015, Version- I Never Thought I Would…
I never thought I would say it, but I think the only company that can fix rc racing is Traxxas. If you ever hit one of their rc races at a TORC event, they kept it real- REAL fun and REAL laid-back, like rc racing should be. I never thought I would say it, but driving a car with a sound [...]

Futaba 4GRS 4-Channel T-FHSS Radio Review
Twin stick radios are so old school that nobody uses them anymore, right??? That absolutely isn’t the case, in fact they are making a bit of a comeback thanks to the crawling/trailing and boat crowds. When Futaba announced the twin stick 4GRS it was actually a pretty big deal, it isn’t often when a new surface twin sticker hits the [...]

THE Cub Report, 03.16.2015, Version- Spectatorgate ’15
Ya know, I would really like to just report something on bashing. However, once again this week, the racing world has lost their minds, which sorta makes the bash world seem so boring. I mean, I can go bashing for weeks on end and never get into an argument or even see anyone mad, that certainly is not the case [...]

THE Cub Report, 03.09.2015, Version- My Posse’s on Broadway
What in the hell is wrong with the racing crowd? Why do I say that? Ok, we already knew the majority of racers have turned into raging a&*hats, but here is further proof. One of our guys (read- Brian) was at a race over the weekend. He went to take some pics, hang with industry types, etc. During one of [...]

“Backyard Bash-Racing Hey Cubby, I got a backyard track that I built for my buddies, my sons, and me to “race” on. We rarely have enough people to turn marshal so we just race around and when someone gets rubber side up, we all just drive over and someone flips them over (we all have SCT’s, try doing that with a buggy [...]

THE Cub Report, 03.02.2014, Version- Live Long and Prosper
In a valiant attempt to keep this week’s Cub Report terse, I’m going old school with some rants on last week’s news. First up, the $289 Pro-Line fuel stick. Wanna talk about rocking the boat? Wanna talk about getting some buzz going? When the price point was dropped on the new P-L fuel stick certain parts of the internet nearly melted [...]
