Any help will be appreciated, Thanks in advance Ray Cubby– Hola Ray, thanks for the email and [...]
Dear Cubby, Do you have any idea why there are no lithium jelly batteries on the market? You probably don’t have any idea what I’m talking about, so I’ll explain: Lithium jelly batteries are basically LiPo’s, only, the lithium has been turned into a non-flammable jelly. This type of battery could be the revolution to batteries, here’s why: 1. They are extremely safe. [...]
When will you post the review of the HPI Bullet Flux MT? Your review may make my descision between the traxxas stampede vxl or the bullet mt. I currently have the Traxxas Stampede brushed xl-5 and love it. I was looking to get into the brushless scene and try not to spend a fortune. So I have been looking at the [...]
Does it bother anyone else at big squid that a majority of basher approved trucks aren’t sold anymore? Jamie B.Cubby– Now this is an example of a question I like, right to the point, no fluff. After asking all the guys around the office, no, it does not bother us, not a single one of us. Why doesn’t it bother us? [...]
question for ask cubby I have a Losi SCTE on your recommendation and I love it. I am setting up another one for my brother since he lives close to NorCal Hobbies and it is one of the more popular classes. I wanted to know if you had any issues with the Castle Sidewinder SCT with the 1410 motor in [...]
I am getting back into rc after almost 30 years (i started then with a frog kit) which I would love to see more of now, and am simply amazed at how far r/c has come. With that being said and me being an extreme bash and speed freak, I am addicted to your review link. What are the [...]
1/8th truggy Can u tell me who makes a 1/8th truggy. Kit roller rtr does not matter just wanted to know who has them. Matt N. Cubby– Can I tell you who which companies make 8th scale truggy’s? Of course I can, but will I? I don’t see that happening. You see there is this little thing called “Bing”, it’s a search [...]
Battery Technology Inquiry To whom it may concern, I am representing the South Dakota School of Mines SAE Aero Design team. We would like to explore the use of electric storage in our next year’s competition plane. With today’s battery technology, is it realistic to have a 22.2V battery pack that can charge between 20-100A while weighing less than about three pounds? [...]
Hi Cubby, I read that charging a lipo at a higher amperage will make my truck faster, is that true or false? Travis P. Cubby– Hola Travis, thanks for taking the time to shoot us an email. So… will charging a Lipo battery at a higher/faster rate result in higher output voltage under load, thus making your truck faster? Well I am not [...]
Dear Cubby, Here is a battery question for you. I know a higher C rated battery would make a brushless truck go faster, but what would one do on my ready to run Stampede? Awesome job on the site by the way. Seth E. Cubby– Hey now, what’s up Seth? Good question, so here it is on the front page of BigSquid. Will a [...]
Dominus Wins!? Are you guys as amazed as I am (as well as everyone I know) that the Dominus, a truck that you simply can’t bash with, won the bashing bracket? That truck is such a piece of shit! Sure it’s cheap, but at $200 it can’t even drive up a jump. Is bashing considered driving around slowly in a circle [...]
Chargers I’ve recently gotten back into rc, matter of fact just bought a losi lst xxl. I ran across your website and have pretty well been hooked as you guys seems to cover everything from racing to bashing. Love your site and I find myself with a question that I feel is best directed to you. Which charger should I buy? [...]

G’day, Ive recently bought the Thundertiger Sparrowhawk XXT, and I’ve noticed that you guys have done a review on it. Also I’m using it for a research project, looking at what i can do to eek out as much power from the car as I can. I’m thinking battery wise, but also is there anything you can do to modify the [...]
Hi Brian and Squiddy! I am really fascinated and really wanted to own Savage Flux XS as my first decent RC. I’ve seen a lot of reviews but yours finalized my decision to purchase one. However, with all the reviews I’ve seen so far, nobody mention (or maybe I missed those parts) about the run time of lets say 2s [...]
