The RC Deep Dive

Microfiber cloths aren't just nice to have but are mandatory for cleaning and taking care of radio-controlled model vehicles and cotton is an absolute no-no. In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we going into exactly why skiing with how to use them and how to properly wash and dry them to ensure they don't get damaged and then damage your R/C car, buggy, truck, tank, jeep, van, boat, plane, helicopter, or drone. 

Here at the RC Deep Dive podcast we've discussed the Tamiya Grasshopper and Grasshopper II R/C buggies' Lexan polycarbonate body shells that Parma PSE (Parma Speed Experts) make to replace their stock ABS hard plastic bodies. But what other body shells does Parma PSE make for Vintage and rere (re-release) Tamiya model vehicles? In this episode we give you the complete catalog and where you can buy them. 

The Tamiya Frog can jump from one skatepark halfpipe with ease and outperforms any of the other bespoke R/C buggies from its era in the radio-control model vehicle hobby golden age. Why? In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we go into the geometry, material science, and physics of many of us systems that work in concert with one another to make for a perfect jumping buggy in both its original vintage and latest rere (re-release) models. 

How were Tamiya's bespoke animal named R/C buggies (such as the Frog, Grasshopper, Hornet, Fox, Falcon, Grasshopper II, Manta Ray, the Dragon series, the Fighting Bull, the Super Hornet, the Sand Viper, etc.) like their animal counterparts both in handling as well as in overall buggy and parts design? In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we dig into the engineering of these radio-controlled model vehicles and the anatomy of their animal countries. 

Safety never takes second place at the RC Deep Dive podcast and in this episode we dig into what the safest, fog-free, most comfortable, most protective, yet affordable safety goggles that can be worn over prescription or reader eye glasses or by themselves without glasses that specifically met the needs of the R/C enthusiasts in the radio-controlled model vehicle hobbyist community in their hobby workshops. 

The vintage and rere (re-release) Tamiya Frog has a low CoG/CG (Center of Gravity) which helps it in mild off-road conditions, but when you hop-up to the Brat Attack look using the Tamiya Subaru BRAT wheels and tires in a square set-up, does it become an even better on-road and off-road radio-controlled buggy like a rally car such as the vintage Tamiya Lancia 037 Rally car that shines in races on both environments? In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we investigate and answer this question. 

You need to take care of both ventilation and air circulation in your R/C model vehicle hobby workshop. You generally have two different types of options which is a system that is installed into the wall or a fan that blows the air out of the garage. But what brand and model fan is the best one to use for your radio-controlled model vehicle hobby workshop? We blow through the fluff and get to the core answer based on science in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast. 

In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we jump in deep into the world of calipers, both manual and digital and we put them to the test to see most accurate results for you. We answer the questions of which one measures up to be the best option for radio-controlled model vehicle hobbyist and which is the most budget friendly option, but still good for the R/C model enthusiast?

When it's cold outside like it currently is in the southern hemisphere of Earth and you're wanting to work on your radio controlled model vehicles in your R/C hobby workshop, you definitely need to have a heater in that space, whether it be your garage, a shed, or some place else that you use as your workshop. In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we go over the most efficient, best heating, and least expensive heating options for your R/C hobby workshop. 

We've mentioned the need to use body reamers to make holes for headlights and antennae holes, body mounts, etc. on your Lexan polycarbonate body shells for your radio controlled model vehicles. In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we answer these questions: who makes the best body reamers, which ones make your job easier, and which ones are the most affordable, good body reamers?
