THE Cub Report- 10.25.2011- Version: Rumspringa!
My goal for iHobby week was not to punch anyone… and I was successful. As much as I hate trade shows, and as much as I hate having to sit around during long boring meetings I actually had a fantastic time spending 5 days in the Rosemont Convention Center (of course the absurd amount of money Brian was paying [...]
THE Cub Report- 10.24.2011- Version: It’s Like A Hangover
What a week that was! Rarely do I show up to these things and actually make my presence known, but Brian thought it could be interesting, or at least make good video if people I haven’t been so nice with caught me in their booth, or caught me in the Big Squid RC booth.

It is loads better [...]

THE Cub Report- 10.10.2011- Version: Lily Of The Valley
What a weekend of racing, Formula 1 was blitzing around Suzuka in Japan while the Bathurst 1000 was taking place down under. Every time I see a “real” road course (like both of those) I feel sorry for our rc guys racing on flat ozite tracks. If they only knew how fun/challenging a road course can actually be. [...]

Michigan Cubby– We’ve gone round and round at the office about that very subject. [...]
