You've completed building your radio controlled model vehicle and are ready to cut your Lexan polycarbonate body shell so it will fit on your chassis. But there are multiple lines on your R/C car's body shell. Why? There's actually a really good reason and we take a deep dive into the reasons in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast. 

Using an adapter to charge your radio controlled model vehicle's battery is very convenient, but could it be destroying your battery and making your runtime decrease quickly! We breakdown the electrical engineering of these adapters and the chemistry of R/C batteries and explain why this common practice is actually a really bad idea in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast. 

I'm this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we combine something rarely connected, which we are calling R/C automotive romance: sainthood by martyrdom, legendary dark pacts of love that shook a church to its core when it was revealed, and the radio controlled model vehicles that connect them all together on this universal holiday of romantic love known as the Feast Day of St. Valentine or simply Saint Valentine's Day (also Singles Awareness Day). 

You can now get rear trailing arm stiffeners made it of plastic, nylon, carbon fiber, and a variety of metals. Which of these options is the best and which of then are the worst? It all depends on your radio control running style and not necessarily a single option that is right for everyone. We define why this is in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast. 

There are three different names for fans of radio controlled vehicles, but what's the difference? We open the hobbyist community  dictionary and thesaurus and break down the jargon, defining the differences between a Racer, a R/C Hobbyist, and a RC Enthusiast in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast. Which title do you claim for yourself? 

"Curiouser and curiouser," Alice said, as she saw the vintage R/C model vehicles in front of the denizens of Wonderland. There was one for the Queen of Hearts, the White King and his White Knight, the Mock Turtle, the Dormouse, the March Hare, the Jabberwock, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatte, the Rabbit, and now. But which radio controlled model vehicle was hers? We look through the looking glass and correlate these chaotic RC cars with the even more chaotic citizens of Wonderland in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast. 

Many R/C hobbyists will use J-B Weld to repair their radio controlled vehicles when they break, such as a broken axle on a Tamiya BRAT or Frog. However, repairing it outside a specific humidity and temperature range will cause catastrophic results when fixing your RC model vehicles. We define and explain what happens when you don't keep your repair in this heat and moisture range in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast. 

Many people think that the 1976 Porsche 934 Turbo RSR was the first radio controlled model vehicle created by Tamiya. However that title actually belongs to the 1974 1/16th scale M4 Sherman Tank. We dig into the design and explain exactly what caused it to be such a mechanical marvel with clutch and brake steering and it's many more advanced rere (rerelease) models in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast. 

Did you know that you can charge your R/C model vehicles batteries using your personal automobile? While it is possible, there are some important precautions to take before, during, and after RC (Direct Current) charging your radio-controlled model vehicle battery with your automobile. We uncover the directions and concerns on this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast. 

Have you ever seen a Tamiya Grasshopper 2 just rolling around on its two left tires or it's two right tires and wondered how in the world did they do that? Well we here at the RC Deep Dive podcast found one out in the wild and are teaching you today how to build one for yourself.
