You came in second, hope you weren’t holding your [...]
“Hey Cubby, I need your advice on 4×4 Short Course trucks. I’ll initially bash but grow into racing and am currently looking at the SC10 4×4 Factory Team and the Losi SCTE 2.0. Obviously I don’t want to start a fan war between the two platforms, but can you give any advice on which way to go? Thanks, Matt M.” Cubby- Yo hey Matt, thanks [...]
“Hey Guys, I wanted to thank you again for the Invictus. Attached are some pictures from my Sons 6th birthday where we gave him the truck. He was screaming with joy!! Made his birthday.

“Hey Cubby, I just picked up a 2013 Savage x 4.6! What would be the best upgrade you recommend for a routine basher? Most bang per buck vs. Best Bang if money were no object? Thanks in advance! Jose C. Jr. p.s. I’m also bumming it for a free decal :-)” Cubby- Yo yo yo Jose, BigSquidRC Raps! Actually we don’t, we just dig phrases [...]
“Cubby, My question is about a common belief that is passed around the internet. When an R.C. vehicle is discontinued is it really necessary to start stocking up on parts, or do the manufacturers continue to produce replacement parts? I recently had a vehicle I own become discontinued and am now faced with this question. (I would mention the vehicle but [...]
“Hi Cubby, I must say I am thoroughly impressed with the Granite BLX after seeing the bash video and reading the review. However, I couldn’t help but notice that you guys gave it a “B” on the Bash-a-Bility rating. A buddy of mine has the brushed granite, and that thing is INSANELY tough. Once you replace the servo its pretty much [...]

Bryan G.” Cubby- Hey now Bryan, thanks for the email and be sure to shoot Brian your snail mail for a free sticker pack. Hey bro, I’m so glad you decided to go [...]
“Do you think that lipo batteries will destroy rc? They are inherently dangerous, i see videos on youtube all the time of them catching fire. How much longer can hobby shops keep selling them? Daniel P.” Cubby- Hey ya Danny P, shoot Brian your snail mail so he can send you a sticker pack. Are Lithium based batteries killing rc? Ummm…. let me [...]
“Dear Cubby, For the last year I’ve been driving my 2 wheel Slash VXL. I like the truck but keep burning off teeth on the spur. What is the best way to keep from going through more spur gears? Nice Cub Report a couple weeks ago about ROAR too, keep up the good work. Fredrick R.” Cubby- Yo hey Fred, thanks for the email, [...]
“I just wanted to shoot you an email to see if you guys could help with my problem. I live in Panama City Beach, Fl, I am very big into the rc hobby, however down here I feel like I am the only one who is. My wife and I want to see if there is some way to organize [...]

(Since we have had a few emails asking us to change out the ‘Letter’ font, but haven’t found a good one, just going simple today) “Hi, I read your July post on the Protek 2s lipo and I did two things: I bought that battery, and I bought a West Mountin Radio CBA IV. Have you ever posted an article on [...]
Torment Xtreme LCG Kit I have a new Torment and I’m interested in putting an Xtreme LCG kit on my truck. My only question is, what is the ground clearance after you put the Xtreme LCG kit on the Torment? How does this truck compare to a 2wd Slash with the STRC LCG kit on it as far as handling goes? I [...]
Axial Exo I’m getting the Axial Exo Terra and reading multiple solutions to its jumping nose dive but not sure what to believe. BSRC has reviewed Axial (aluminum shocks much better than stock) and STRC shocks (shocks better than Axial but not enough threading) and it seems the Exo is a BSRC bashing favorite. I was thinking of using Proline shocks [...]
