Here we are again, another Monday, and yet another Cub Report. There is no better way to start off your week in rc than with the web’s most influential and controversial weekly editorial piece (if I must say so myself). The Cub Report is an exotic blend of sarcasm/fiction/opinion that a rather large amount of people can actually stomach to [...]

THE Traxxas EZ-Peak NiMH/NiCd 5 Amp AC/DC Charger ReviewSo you just bought a new RTR and it came with a battery and a wall charger.
