How many of those guys are already running gyros anyways? Sonny V.” Cubby- So hey there Sonny, it’s been a while since we’ve talked, but thanks for writing in. [...]
Scalers block can get the best of all of us. Just like writers’ block, getting stuck on any project can drive you crazy. Something as simple as where to place a scale item can stop a build in its tracks. Lately I have been torn on what rig to put our RC4WD 1:10 Warn 9.5cti Winch on. As soon as [...]
This past weekend I was rummaging around in my basement, checking out some old boxes of Hot Wheels that I snagged from my parents house (yes, I used to collect HW Treasure Hunt cars) when I came across an old Pro-Line Racing flyer-catalog from 2002. This was like being stuck with a nostalgia-filled syringe. It immediately brought me back to high school [...]
Hello there rc fans, thanks for finding THE Cub Report, we are stoked to have you here. I don’t have anything huge on the agenda for this week, so where will we start….?

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks Everybody’s Scalin’! With the Redcat Racing Gen 8 Scout being released soon I thought why not knock out one of my winter projects and give our Redcat Gen 7 a makeover.

With our review of the ARRMA Granite 3S BLX 4×4 1/10 RTR now behind us, I wanted to take part in a little post-review discussion as well as go over my immediate plans for the truck. Oh, and if you haven’t read the review that I wrote, you can find it right here. I’ve been helping with vehicle reviews around here [...]

It’s that time of year again, you know what I am talking about, project season! For all of us in the northern parts of the world winter time means it’s time to start the projects we have been thinking about all summer.

“Missing Man Hey man, where ya been? Not doing ask cubby anymore or what? Tyler G.” Cubby- Well hello there Tyler, thanks for reading and for your concern. Email me your snail mail for one of our uberlishous sticker packs. So sadly no, I have not died, I have not been on Gilligan’s Island, I have simply been “that” busy. The weeks leading up [...]
The 80s and early 90s were a magical time for young monster truckers like myself. In addition to various TV programs and cartoons featuring the rigs, there were some truly awesome toys made available in this era, be it die-cast, battery operated or remote controlled. Being a kid that was absolutely obsessed with monster trucks, I pretty much got my [...]

Yup, I’ve been talking about that show for months upon months, so how did [...]
Hello everybody and welcome to this weeks’ Everybody’s Scalin’! I know I’m not the only one who freaked out when RC4WD announced the new Desert Runner Scale truck with Hero body set. A few months ago a hand full of pictures were floating around of the Desert Hero. I checked them out and I thought it would be a phenomenal [...]
