So maybe you’ve heard a little something by now that Traxxas has a new car out? LOL Yes, the most highly anticipated release of the year, the Traxxas XO-1, has officially been unleashed on the public. So what’s the buzz? First off I was a bit startled by the shear amount of rabid hate going around the net on the [...]
Cheerio fine people of the rc world and welcome to my latest uber (read- far from greatest) edition of THE Cub Report. Traxxas rules the world, not that I had to tell you that, I only said it because it’s a nice intro. Anyways… Traxxas will finally reveal to the public at large their way-super-dope-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it brand spank’n new vehicle [...]
THE Helion Dominus 10SC 4wd Short Course RTR Truck ReviewEverybody loves short course trucks- they look b!tch’n, they can usually handle a beating, and they are a blast to drive. But… if you walk in a hobby shop with only $200 cash in your pocket you can’t even walk out with a 2wd SCT, let alone 4wd. Well hello [...]
Brian is going to shoot me for filling the front page this week, but we had some good questions I didn’t want people to miss! Hang on and enjoy the ride! Love the site and info and follow regularly through Google Reader (may want to throw an ad or two on the rss feed). However I do have a comment/irk about [...]
THE Losi XXX-SCT BND Short Course Truck ReviewBetter late than never? A Losi XXX-SCT finally landed on our doorstep for a good ole’ fashioned bashing. How did it hold up? Read on my friends…
We recently got in several vehicles from the Firelands Group, and have been putting them to the test recently so it was time to get the unboxing photo’s up. Here are a bunch of shots of the new Helion Animus 18TR. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() [...]
THE Dynamite Passport Ultra Battery Charger ReviewWalking around the pits at the local track or bash spot I started seeing a lot of people using the Dynamite Passport Ultra. What in the world? Since when does Dynamite have a popular charger? What makes it so popular? When one dropped in my lap for review I was pretty stoked to [...]

Hallo (read- German for what’s up homie?) rc hobbyists and welcome to this weeks ridiculously uber yet inert Cub Report. What’s way-super-dope from last week? As Robin posted over the weekend HobbyKing/Turnigy is the next company throwing their hat into the scale buggy arena with their 2wd desert racing buggy. This is a direct competitor to the Horizon/Losi SCB [...]
Cubbby The rear of my E-Revo sags too much when I take off from a dead stop, it sags so much my rear skidplate is getting eaten alive, any tips? Gail Cubby– Yes indeed those Revo’s sure like to sag when you pound the gas, both the nitro and electric versions. On one hand, that’s part of what makes a Revo so [...]
Hola bashers, racers and industry types, yes indeed you have found yet another extra succulent edition of THE Cub Report. Thankfully Red Bull’s Seb Vettel DNF’ed on the first lap of the Abu Dhabi grand prix allowing for a good race. Thankfully Lewis “Moons Over My Hammy” didn’t crash into Felipe Massa (again), allowing the Mclaren driver to finally [...]
I was using some box Brian left for me as a foot rest. It was a good height and sturdy, but the nasty look I got from him a few hours later means it was for something else. After some careful observation apparently it was for a review or something. So for those of you wondering what’s in the box [...]
Cubby what is the best body for my HPI Blitz? Tommy C. Cubby– The best body for your Blitz is whatever style you like best, so go with your own gut on this one. But… if you really can’t make up your mind- I personally like the Pro-Line Flo-Tek, especially in 2wd short course where the parachute effect is the hardest to [...]
6 days, 4 hours and 12 minutes till Abu Dhabi, just say’n… Oh and welcome to yet another merciless butchering of the English language, aka THE Cub Report. In Traxxas news, some redneck roundy round driver named Kyle Busch got Traxxas lots of tv time over the weekend when he decided to hack a fellow pick-up truck driver into the [...]
THE Dr Marty’s Easy On Conductive Grease ReviewI must admit to being a connector freak. It’s very satisfying when I can perfectly solder up a new set of uber connectors to my gear. I run good electronics in my cars, I am not going to waste one bit of power by using sub-par connectors. While cruising the recent iHobby expo [...]
