ASK Cub Reporter- 07.07.2011- Your Questions, My Drivel
Dear Cub Reporter Why do I never see any Tamiya product on Bigsquid? Like your site but would like to see more Tamiya on it. Shaun H. Asheville, North Carolina Cubby– Hey what’s up Shaun? So… why don’t we have more Tamiya on our site? Easy- they have zero working relationship with us. We rarely get press releases from them, nor do they send [...]
ST Racing Concepts Losi Ten SCTE Upgrade Review

STRC puts food on their table catering to those that enjoy hopping up their rides [...]

THE Cub Report- 07.04.2011- Let Those Fireworks Rip!
Greetings from the overly posh BigSquid offices, and here’s to hoping you and yours are thoroughly enjoying Americas independence day, I know we certainly are. BBQ + fireworks + family + rc cars = uber July 4th weekend! Our wacky BSRC bash crew spent the day in Peoria Illinois on Saturday bashing and thrashing two of Thunder Tigers new vehicles- [...]
ASK Cub Reporter- 06.30.2011- Questions Pour In, I Eviscerat…
OK,I’ve been checking your site for over a year now with relative ease until the last few months. My question is WHAT THE F*&K IS WRONG WITH YOUR F&*^*ING WEBSITE?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I’m not exaggerating when I say that 70% of the time it doesn’t load up. Then on other occasions, it’s slower than most of Tamiyas products that don’t cost [...]
THE Cub Report- 06.26.2011- Earning My Money This Week
Hola rc fans, welcome to yet another scrumptious edition of rc’s most satirical column, THE Cub Report. So… where did “Cubby’s Wheel Of Doom” land on this week? Our lovely sanctioning body ROAR of course. 🙂 ROAR has a new rule stating that cars/trucks will be required to run headlight, taillight and grill decals where applicable. Sounds great right? Sure [...]

“Will a “tuning kit” turn a Losi SCB from a basher to a racer? I think not… a tricker piece of machinery yes, but faster? Faster is much more about the driver than the equipment in rc racing.” (quoted from this weeks Cub Report) Whys it need a tuning kit anyways, for all intents and purposes it is a Losi [...]

Anybody else see Geico/Honda/Associated rider Justin “Bam Bam” Barcia huck it down Henry Hill at Budd’s Creek on Saturday? That boy has a giant set of appendages. For you guys that don’t know about “Henry Hill”, it’s a giant downhill on the Budds Creek track, and it got its name when Doug Henry accidentally stayed on the gas and [...]
ASK Cub Reporter- 06.15.2011- More Questions, Less Answers
Hey Cubby I’m a big fan, my week hasn’t offically started until I’ve read the Cub Report every Monday. I was recently told RPM dual stage pistions are the best modification for my shocks that I can make. I drive an SC10. What are they, and what will they do for me? Trevor J. Peoria IL Cubby– What’s up Trevor? With you [...]
Losi 1/10 XXX-SCB RTR Review
THE Losi 1/10 XXX-SCB (Short Course Buggy) RTR ReviewIntro- Yes, I have to admit I’m a biased reviewer on this one folks. When the original gold tubbed RC10 was released I always envisioned the buggy class morphing into something like the Losi XXX-SCB, but for 2 decades it went the way of the Associated B4 and Losi 22. So when [...]

THE Cub Report- 06.12.2011- Epic 4 Hour Montreal Battle
Jenson Button put in one of the most epic drives in motor-sports yesterday, surviving a marathon rain delayed race to take the win in Montreal at the Canadian F1 Grand Prix. Thus far the 2011 F1 season has been a bore, but last weekends Canadian GP more than made up for the lack of pizzazz of the earlier races. [...]

THE Cub Report, 06.07.2011- Do You Remember?
Everyone is OCD in some way, shape or form, I’m OCD about market trends. As much as I’d like to think the same as an “average consumer” does, I know because of my involvement in the industry that I don’t, my views/thoughts etc are epically skewed. Unfortunately for me, my job requires that I am spot-on with market trends. With [...]

I just purchased a Slash 4×4 ,sand tires and a 3lipo 11.1 to take to the beach and have some fun. I was driving it around and started to show off and gave it full throttle. It was doing a wheelie for about 100 yds then I let off the throttle. Started to drive the car back and it [...]
