“Nitro Rc Hey Cubby! I have been in the Rc hobby for almost 6 years now and am loving every second of it. I’ve got a scx-10, a P4de, and an X-Maxx, but I haven’t ever had a nitro. I would like to get into nitro, but most of the forums I have been looking at are 5 to 10 years old, so [...]
“Scale Basher? Dear Cubby, I’m looking to diversify my RC’s a little and try out a more scale rig (want to see what the fuss is all about).

“Just a quick one… Question =) Traxxas Kits Hey Cubby, Just saw the TRAXXAS Stampede Kit Announcement on Bigsquid. So I´m a little bit curious if you might know if there are more in the works from Traxxas in this direction? Maybe an X-Maxx Kit? That would be something. Cause its on my mind buying one. But if there is a Kit [...]
“Where do the cars go? Sup Cubby, You guys get a lot of review cars, what do you do with all of them when you are done? Do you have a warehouse full? Do you sell them? Can I have some?

“Don’t you dare try to duck a drift question! Hi Cubby! I’ve been following your ramblings for a bit over a year now, and you really seem to have a good grip on most of our hobby.

“Transmitters (Spektrum vs Futaba) Hey there Cubby, I am in the market for a new Transmitter. I originally wanted to get a Futaba 3PV, but thanks to Big Squid RC I now am very interested in the Spektrum DX5 Rugged.

“UK RC scene Well, where do I start? I guess my main vent and question is….. Why aren’t more rc companies investing in the European market? Yes we have arrma and have always had the legend that is Schumacher over here in blighty, but I would like to see a shift in investment from the US to a UK/European market! It [...]
