Well hello there all you fanatical hobbyists, I’m Cubby and this is the Retired Report. You old schoolers will know exactly who I am, for you noobies, welp, just buckle on in I guess. 🙂 Remember, all of these are just my opinions, and not necessarily those of Big Squid. Last year in 2024, Team Associated/Thunder Tiger pushed it hard [...]
Hello there rc fanatics, I am Cubby and this is THE Retired Report. It’s been a hot minute since the last one, so let’s jump right on in. Yes folks, it’s April 1st, but this Retired Report has nothing to do with any of that wackiness. What I want to touch on is how the year of 2025 is off to [...]
Hello there fellow rc hobbyists this is THE Retired Report. First off, I want to wish all of you a happy new year. Second off, 2025 is starting to smell a lot like NITRO! In my last Retired Report, I talked about how I felt like Team Associated won the year of 2024. So what does Associated do on the very [...]
Well hello there fellow hobbyists, I am Cubby, I am retired, yet here I am for another Cub Report! As we get ready to conclude the year of 2024, I wanna take a look back and see how our industry did over the last 12 months. After looking through a year of our posts, I’ve come to a few conclusions. Ya know [...]
Well hello there, I am Cubby, I am retired, and yet here the freak I am! Ya know, I was gonna do a column on saying goodbye to Doug and Jeremy. But, I’m known as a hardcore slacker, so I slacked so long, Doug retired and came back before I could even say goodbye. LOL So, goodbye Doug. You started up the [...]
Well hello there fellow rc fanatics, I’m Cubby, and I thought I was retired! If I’m so retired, what in the world I am still doing here? I am “working” today because I love the rc hobby. I consider the hobby of rc cars, as far and away the #1 hobby for any guy. Why’s that? RC gives you so much, [...]
You heard what I just said, rc racing is COOKED. It’s BENT AF, as it has now become literally a race to extinction. Who allowed this to happen? Why doesn’t anyone actually fix it? Welp, I am Cubby, and welcome to a good ole’ fashioned Cub Report. Let’s start ranting, shall we? 🙂 You may not have noticed, but in 2024 [...]
Ya know, I’m not getting paid for this! And, well, to be honest, that’s entirely my fault, as I’m the guy that decided to “retire from rc”, LOL. But see, I have a problem, I’m a loudmouth, and sometimes things just hit me in such a way, that I feel the need to spew them here on BigSquidRC. For free. [...]
Holy smokes ya bunch of bashing lunatics, it has gotten freak’n hot outside! Well, at least here in the Northern Hemisphere, summer temps are now going through the roof. Where I live, the high was 96 degrees F yesterday, and the temp will tend to stay 80 or above for the next 3-4 months. And while I personally love warm [...]
Long time, no see ya bunch of hooligans! I am Cubby, and I hope you’ve all been well over the last few months. Oh yes, retirement is so much fun, but yet it is so hard to step completely away from the hobby I love so much. Now, shall we get down to business??? 🙂 No-preppers, this week is a HUGE [...]
So I’m cruising YouTube, blowing off another day, just like any other, and I come across the crazy video below. In the video, it shows an rc truck driving around a house. You see it come down some wood stairs without scratching them. You also see the truck drive over a precious piano. You then see it drive over “Dad’s” [...]
Ya know, living the life of luxury can be hard on a man. A man can only drink so many bottles of Dom, and extinguish so many hand rolled Cuban cigars, before he feels the need to actually do something. I could go into Brian’s office and CA glue all his desk drawers shut, but where is the fun in [...]
The man, the myth, the legend, that is right I am talking about Cubby. Â The reality of not being able to enjoy a weekly Cub report or Ask Cubby is hard to imagine. I myself am a glass is half full type of person so rather than dwell on how much Cubby will be missed I say focus on how [...]
Yes, you read that correctly, THIS is the very last Cub Report, the day has finally come! I am not one for long goodbyes, and this has been in the making for a number of years, so here it finally is... One thing I am not, is an actual writer, so I’ve been burnt out on writing for a very long [...]
“Building an Arrma Limitless Yo, Cubby. All of this quarantine downtime has me thinking about starting a new build and I have my eyes on the Limitless kit. I didn’t recall seeing this covered before on Big Squid and wanted to see how you would spec one out for general parking lot bashing on 4S With 6S capability. ESC/Motor/Servo, what would [...]
