THE Cub Report- 10.02.2011- Version: Two Raging Thumbs Up
Hey it’s Monday morning, time to get this week in rc started off right with THE Cub Report. Did you know people still race on-road rc cars? Yes, I know they are dead at the local level but the International Indoor Champs in Vegas is still alive and well. Most of the “big name” on road guys from across [...]
ASK Cub Reporter- 09.28.2011- Great Questions, Questionable …
Traxxas 12800mah lipos Hi there just wondering if you have reviewed these yet and if you have, what would be a suggested ac dual charger to keep these bad boys fresh. Thank you Aleic G. Cubby– Nope, sorry Aleic, we’ve yet to test any of the new Traxxas packs, but I’m guessing some time in the very near future we’ll be getting some for review. [...]
THE Cub Report- 09.26.2011- Version: Pumped Up Kicks
Yes indeed it’s that time again, time for yet another funtabulous edition of THE Cub Report. We are sooo far behind on testing gear around here, which is a nice position to be in of course, but we are having trouble findings good spots to test at. While we do a lot of our testing in typical bash conditions [...]
Novak Havoc Pro SC Ballistic and Brushless System Review
The Novak Havoc Pro SC Ballistic 540 8.5 #3122 Brushless System ReviewYes, brushless dominates the market. Yes, short course trucks dominate the market. Yes, RTR’s dominate the market. Yes, most likely your RTR short course truck comes with a sub-par power system. Yes, the first upgrade many consumers do to their SC truck is a new brushless system. Is the [...]

ASK Cub Reporter- 09.22.2011- Oh No I Didn’t
I’ve been going out of my mind trying to find a 10Volt.850ma valve regulated lead acid battery for my RC dragster. Can you help me? Thanks and have a nice day, Rocky Cubby– Hey what’s up Rocky, and thanks for reading BigSquid. So… you’ve been looking all over for a 5 cell (10 volt) 850 mah VRLA for your dragster. Well… it’s certainly [...]
Futaba 3PRKA FHSS 2.4 GHz Radio Review
THE Futaba 3PRKA FHSS 2.4 GHz Radio ReviewWe live in an RTR world- lay down some cash and start driving an hour later. RTR’s are great and have certainly taken our hobby to entirely different level, but… they are typically loaded with junk electronics. Futaba thinks they have the answer for this problem- an affordable yet quality replacement for your [...]

THE Cub Report- 09.19.2011- Version: Signing Blank Checks
Well howdy there rc fans how nice of you to join us yet again for a lovingly crafted Cub Report. There is only one thing to talk about this week, Traxxas and their TORC series, so here we go… Ok, if you are a Joe Blow rc type you can tell Traxxas is kick’n every other companies a$$ on the [...]
ASK Cub Reporter- 09.16.2011- Version: Better Late Than Earl…
I whole heartedly applaud Traxxas for all they are doing to make RC a mainstream thing, but all of their focus seems to be on marketing and little on actual product development. I mean how many variations of the 1/16th E-Revo/Slash can there be? All have zero differentiation other than the bodies and some other ancillary things. I was [...]
THE Cub Report- 09.12.2011- If Ya Can’t Beat’em, Join’em
Has it already been another week? Omg does time fly in the wonderful world of rc. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery right? I guess Xtreme RC Magazine really digs us then as they’ve got their version of Jeff’s long running “R/C Around The Web” column in their magazine now. And yes of course, Jeff’s version is vastly [...]
ASK Cub Reporter- 09.07.2011- My Email Explodes All Over You…
Hello Brian, First, I have a suggestion: I just read the 4WD Short Course Shootout and 3 trucks is not so much for a shootout. You already mentioned the Losi SCTE and Associated SC10 4×4 are not in stores now. Maybe you could get all trucks out again when they are in stores and do a 4WD Short Course Shootout Reloaded or [...]
THE Cub Report- 09.05.2011- Version: Traxxas Pala National
Funny how the meltdown emails come in every week when I dare mention anything about motocross. Yup, I spam motocross pretty hard in every Cub Report, and I do it not only because I can, but because there are many direct ties between that sport and ours. With that said… Something huge is going on this coming weekend. Traxxas, [...]

THE Cub Report- 08.29.2011- Version: $52,000 Challenger Joyr…
Yes, I’m just like most of you guys, there simply isn’t enough time in the day (or days in the week). I spent the first part of the weekend trying to escape from Hurricane Irene. Then I hauled butt back to help out the BSRC bash crew on our latest shootout. Then of course I had to catch [...]
