From: Traxxas Direct Link: Traxxas 1/16 E-Revo Review by Brian.While a lot of people call it the Mini E-Revo, the good people over at Traxxas will be quick to point out that there is nothing ‘mini’ about it. From it’s power and speed, to hop-ups and durability, the 1/16 E-Revo does everything big. How big? Well, lets dive into our review [...]

If you are out there, he’s the one with the Big Squid RC Shirt! Make sure to tell him hello! We have a lot of European readers so we [...]
Who was the biggest mover and shaker in rc last week? Thunder Tiger/Associated!!! But first…. Rc has a new face to the masses, and his name is Peter Viera, the marketing manager for Traxxas. I only say this because Peter got some serious face time on mainstream CBS television this morning during their broadcast of the Oakland AMA Supercross. Peter [...]
Today we saw our good friend Peter Vieira of Traxxas on CBS during their coverage of the AMA Supercross in Oakland California. Peter did a couple minute segment with Pro Motocross racer Nick Way. I don’t believe they mentioned what they were driving around on the track, but it looked like E-Revo’s. Keep up the great work Traxxas and Peter! [...]
Welcome to yet another trip visiting the tremendous depths of our email boxes….I found your site just goofing around online and have really enjoyed it! I bought a Traxxas Slash 2.4 Ghz and upgraded it with RPM parts based on your reviews and info. It has withstood the abuse I put it through as well as being piloted on [...]

So in case you have yet to notice, be alerted that each and every Tuesday we’ll be posting an all new way-super-duper-dope product review (and rumor has it we’ll [...]
Hey, remember a few days ago, when we told you about that whole Traxxas giving away motorcycles thing? Well we finally got the official word from Traxxas about how, when, and where these things are going to happen. There’s 17 bikes in total (well, 16 now, they already gave one away) that can be won if you take the time [...]
Haven’t seen this posted anywhere, so thought I’d share. It looks like Traxxas has a new version of the 1/16 Summit on the way! Looking through all the details, it appears to be identical to the current 1/16 Summit VXL except for the radio and ESC/Motor. This new version will come with the Traxxas AM radio and the Titan [...]
Update: We uploaded a video from Traxxas of these trucks in action, it’s embedded after the break. The video sheds some light on other trucks that will be included in the lineup. You can also expect to find Monster Mutt and Maximum Destruction in addition to Grave Digger and Grinder. Also, Traxxas is now the “Official RC Truck of Monster [...]
From: Traxxas Direct Link: Traxxas Summit Review by Bill. I have seen the top of the mountain, and it is good! When first unboxing the Traxxas Summit, one word comes to mind, BIG. Big wheels, big tires and a big suv body. Just looking at the Summit, it looks like it can go anywhere and do anything, and that is exactly what [...]
Geezus, one minute I am polishing off some very snappy Dom 98′ to ring in 2010 (followed by a Very strong La Flora Dominicana Chisel), and suddenly I look up and I’m writing the last Cub Report of the year. My oh my does time fly when you are pwn’n the rc media world. Because I’m a creature of habit, I [...]
News from Exotek is that they have a new 1/16th scale body called the Commando Mini Revo body. It actually fits the Traxxas 1/16 Revo or 1/16 Summit. Comes with standard overspray film and window masks. I’m really glad to see someone supporting the 1/16 scale aftermarket. There are a lot of them out there, and they all look the [...]

Yet another week has flown right by in our hobby, welcome back to THE Cub Report. In some areas of our country, it’s blizzard conditions, in others (Hawaii anyone?) it’s a perfect 80 degrees. Inside the exceedingly well lit and remarkably well appointed BigSquid offices it’s always 72 degrees. We hope wherever you may be that it’s perfect rc weather. Months [...]
