Happy Thanksgiving! There's some new RC stuff to talk about, but also a bit of my journey to this point and why I'm thankful for you and the RC hobby.

Things are finally settling down after the awesome weekend at the Great Lakes Gauntlet! We had mostly great weather and lots of opportunity to run RCs and hang out. 

In this episode I talk about 2 game changers in the RC arena - Furitek and Vanquish. Furitek has been changing the game in the mini RC platform for years and continue to create new products that take it further. Vanquish has been making next level products for years and their new VRD lineup makes the entry into RC crawling comps much easier for people like me. 

It's been over 6 months since the last podcast and I wasn't sure I was going to bring it back after such a long hiatus, but after many requests from the listeners....it's back! As with much of my CCxRC related social media it will be changing in some ways as I try to bring it all back to the hobby and less about the newest shiny product. 

Coming atcha with another podcast. 2 weeks of snow kept me from going up to the studio to record, but warmer weather is making the path and outdoor stairs manageable again. This episode i talk about my Hardpark Crawlers vDub, the LMT Mini, a new Furitek ESC, etc. 

New year. New RC Fun! This year I'm planning to jump back into the RC Monster Trucks hot and heavy. I'm not getting out of the 1/24 scale....just looking to be more focused and do them and Monster Trucks pretty regularly.  We'll see how well I can stick to it. I know I can't keep trying to do everything RC related alongside the other work I'm doing now. It's too much and it really doesn't let me get invested into the areas of RC I enjoy the most.  Here's to a new year and more RC fun!
