THE Cub Report- 03.12.2012, Version: ARkStorm Of Truth
4 days, 19 hours, 17 minutes and 34 seconds till the cars roll off in Melbourne, the F1 season can’t get here fast enough to suit me. Let’s hope it’s not another Red Bull runaway season like last year, and that Schu, Ice Creme Kimi, and Kamui all make visits to the podium! March Bashness is fully underway at [...]

Hi Brian and Squiddy! I am really fascinated and really wanted to own Savage Flux XS as my first decent RC. I’ve seen a lot of reviews but yours finalized my decision to purchase one. However, with all the reviews I’ve seen so far, nobody mention (or maybe I missed those parts) about the run time of lets say 2s [...]

Two hours of rc racing action was on T.V. tonight, did you catch it? Yes indeed, the Documentary Channel aired “Carpet Racers” the movie (I am writing this on Sunday night 03.03 btw), marking yet another mainstream achievement for our hobby.

Cubby, I’m looking at getting a mini to have fun with in and out of the house. Just wondering if you have any preference between the small scale stuff. RC18T or RC18r or losi 1/24 rally, I’ve ruled out the mini-z’s as they are indoor only. Also need to get something a 2year old can play with so a little [...]

Are you as addicted to your Facebook feed as I am? Yes, of course you are, so isn’t it interesting to watch the rc community post loads of updates/comments on the Feld/AMA Supercross series every Saturday night?

Every so often a product is announced that makes a big impression, big enough that I just can’t keep from opening my big mouth. In the past I’ve done “special reports” on the Traxxas Slash 4×4 and on the Traxxas XO-1, both of which were huge news when announced, huge enough to be put in that exclusive [...]
