THE Cub Report, 10.07.2013, Version- Schaumburg or Bust
Hello everyone out there in rc land, you have landed on THE Cub Report, the column that everybody, and I mean everybody, reads every week. I’m soooo burnt crispy on rc. Back in the day I thought I went hard with rc, but since being shoved even deeper into the industry, I have been spending way, wayyyyy too many hours on [...]

Review – Carisma GT10DT Brushless RTR Desert Racer Review
THE Carisma GT10DT Brushless RTR Desert Racer ReviewDaily our hobby changes. Off-road buggies have gone from cool looking scale derived machines, to UFOs, and now they are headed back to looking like something you might actually be able to see in real life. The crew over at Carisma and their new GT10DT continues the trend back to scale realism. The [...]

THE Cub Report, 09.29.2013, Version- Even if you don't like …
Wow, I just got done watching the Motocross of Nations from Germany and I gotta say I was left with a very sour taste in my mouth. No, America once again didn’t really send their “A-Team”, but even still, we should have won. It was disappointing to watch ET throw away (literally) a top 2 finish in the first moto, [...]

Review – ARRMA Granite BLX Brushless RTR Monster Truck
THE ARRMA Granite BLX RTR Monster Truck ReviewThe brushed version of the ARRMA Granite was a big hit among the bashing crowd, it was tough as nails, it drove well, and it was affordable. ARRMA has upped the ante with the new Granite BLX. The BLX comes with big brushless power and is fully waterproof. Does the Granite BLX live [...]

THE Cub Report, 09.23.2013, Version- Man in the Box
Yes, even I run out of things to complain about, so here is a rather brief and uncharacteristically happy Cub Report. Brian won’t ever toot his own horn, so I do it for him from time to time. Numbers are doing great (thanks to You our readers), and have blown well past what we considered to be the “maximum” we would [...]

Review – Hitec X1 Touch AC/DC Battery Charger
THE Hitec X1 Touch AC/DC Battery Charger ReviewWe learned several months ago during our iMax X200 review that adding a touch screen to a battery charger can be a good thing. Today we’ll be taking a closer look at one of Hitec’s newest products, the X1 Touch AC/DC Charger. It features a big color touch screen and pumps out 7 [...]

THE Cub Report, 09.16.2013, Version- Ozymandias
All the best stories start with “So I was walking through my local Fry’s…”. So… I was strutting through the isles of my local Fry’s, just looking to pick a techno babble fight with one of their 19 year old greenhorns, and I stumble across a quite “hobby grade” looking rc car for sale. And not just one, but they actually [...]

(Since we have had a few emails asking us to change out the ‘Letter’ font, but haven’t found a good one, just going simple today) “Hi, I read your July post on the Protek 2s lipo and I did two things: I bought that battery, and I bought a West Mountin Radio CBA IV. Have you ever posted an article on [...]
Review – Vaterra Glamis Fear 1/8th RTR Buggy
THE Vaterra Glamis Fear 1/8th RTR Buggy ReviewWhen we reviewed the Vaterra Glamis Uno a few months ago we were quite impressed. Vaterra is after all a new company and you would think they would have some teething pain. We found very few problems with the Uno. Today we’ll be taking a closer look at the Uno’s brother, the new [...]

THE Cub Report, 09.09.2013, Version- Master Of Hypocrisy
You all know I’m a big Formula 1 fan, a huge Ferrari F1 fan specifically, but I think it’s time for me to take a break. For the first time since the ’80s, I’m not going to follow F1 anymore. Last weekend at Monza was the clincher, F1 has become boring. Seb, the snotty young German with his Red Bull [...]

Torment Xtreme LCG Kit I have a new Torment and I’m interested in putting an Xtreme LCG kit on my truck. My only question is, what is the ground clearance after you put the Xtreme LCG kit on the Torment? How does this truck compare to a 2wd Slash with the STRC LCG kit on it as far as handling goes? I [...]
