OhCanadaRC

As the summer comes to a close this episode could be the hottest one yet! Watch your ears because a sunburn could be coming to them after you listen to our exclusive interview with ElementRC‘s John Schultz as well as an epic episode of Worth Every Penny and a whole bunch of other goodies in this episode of OhCanadaRC!

Pablo and I start the engine on another episode of Syrup N’ Salsa. This week we talk about how RC can become overwhelming if you let it and some strategies to make sure it doesn’t get there. We also talked about Pablo‘s latest comp experience with his kids - some great performances were turned in there - and of course we shout out to our local hobby stores - RPP and Hobby Hobby.

RC is a fantastic hobby - in my books, the best hobby there is. That said, it can be overwhelming, like Christmas morning as a seven-year-old overwhelming! For me personally I know there’s been many times where I’ve gotten in way over my head and not really thought through my choices in the RC hobby. These are my 5 tips to help you avoid some of the pain that I’ve seen in my choices in this hobby and hopefully help you get the most out of it and stay in it for a long, long time. We also get into another episode of worth every penny and it is a real ‘charge’ of a segment! Enjoy!

Welcome to the very first pilot episode of Syrup N’ Salsa! Pablo Guerrero and I take to the airwaves and video once again to bring you some insights into the RC lifestyle. It’s more of what you hopefully love from Pablo and I jokes jabs and lots of insights into what it means to be an RC dad. Tell us what you think! Leave me a comment on the podcast. Also watch the episode on Pablo‘s new Instagram show coming out you soon! Hope you’ve got room for more because here comes some Syrup N’ Salsa!

We talk parking lot racing with Jeremy from the PTBO (Find out what that acronym stands for in this episode.) we also get into why there’s been this trend in parking lot racing in the GTA. Also we get into a new journey in RC for me 1/8 scale E buggy. And last but definitely not least episode two of Worth Every Penny. This is a jampacked episode. Make sure to listen all the way to the end for a special announcement!

We go deep into rally and talk about the GTARC Cup, how it came about, where it’s headed and how rally is taking over certain parts of Toronto. A new segment hits the podcast and it is called ‘Every Penny Counts’, where we spin the wheel,select a dollar amount and tell you what you should spend your hard earned cash on during your next trip to the hobby store!And while we celebrate this Father’s Day weekend, we have big news to share for you (consider it a gift from this father to all the fathers out there) as we unveil a whole new look for OhCanada RC - all in this episode!

Perforamance can be measured in many ways. In RC, the first thing that comes to mind might be racing. But for me, things that come to mind are how you act in the hobby, are you giving off positive vibes, making you a good preformer or are you cagey and grumpy, giving off bad vibes making you a bad one? 

For me, I try to be a good preformer in this hobby. In this issue we talk:

- Tamiya XV01 build and first impressions

- Buying and selling in this hobby and some ways to navigate the process

- Local Hobby Shop/Store (LHS) Spotlight - Hobby Hobby in Mississauga (It smells like a hobby shop should)

- And a little chat with our mand from the PNW, Pablo Guerreo (rc_amigos)

Special shout out to the best performance wallets out there - CX Wallets - I hope you enjoy this episode!

Dirt dust and grime it’s why were in this hobby. In this episode we focus on dust will focus on dirt and grime another time. So who better to kick it off with them Pablo from the dusty PNW. Pablo once sent me a video of a tumbleweed going across the road he was driving on so it’s legit dusty there. We talk about how life has been a bit like a dust devil and I’ll give you the definition of what that is in this episode. We also get into rally,rally cross or rally running or whatever the heck you wanna call it. It’s a Dusty Dusty episode did I mention it’s dusty and I hope you enjoy it.

This is the BIG ONE! In this episode, we had on a lot of key pieces including but not limited to: new projects on the bench incluiding the Tamiya RC rally conversion - I am so excited about this one! We’re aiming at the Datsun 240 Z body. We also reignite the conversation around local tracks as I explore options in the Greater Toronto Area to possibly open a track. You've got to hear where we land on this one -  it’s positive but there’s also so many learnings in what it takes to really open a track and keep it open. 

And last but not least a brush with fame - RC amigos' very own Pablo Guerrero finds his way into the hollowed pages of RC CarAction with the Frankenwaggon. We are stoked to have Pablo on this episode! You wanna listen all the way to the end to hear when the next MONSTER MASH is happening - it’s May 4th - that’s tomorrow and it’s live on YouTube on the RC Amigos channel -  don’t miss it watch live and comment on the action. (I told you it was a big one!)

Michael from CarryAllRC hits the podcast with us and goes off on an amazing tangent about carry bags for RC‘s. If you’ve ever considered getting a bag that you can take a long on your next bash crawl or race you don’t want to miss this episode.
