I hope your day is off to a great start. If not, hopefully this will help turn it around. In this podcast I talk about the new Furitek Cayman, how the Great Lakes Gauntlet event was, and minis vs. Monster Trucks. 

Lots to talk about. Let's do this. 

Welcome to the RC-Crawler-specific edition of the podcast, where we only talk about things related to crawlers. It was bound to happen some time...that and Josh from Harley Designs made fun of me for how many times I say "Monster Trucks" in a day...so I had to try not to say it too much in this episode.

Don't forget to get a koozie while you are there. 

I had the privilege of working on the Losi shoot for the LMT Mud Trucks last month and have some fun behind the scenes stories to share. Join Jeremy and I as we talk about our experience making the video. 

Got a couple topics to cover in this one. I just got back from a trip to Virginia. I had a shoot with a non-profit client for an upcoming video series, and reached out to Ryan about doing the livestream with him last week. I also got the new ARRMA Outcast 4s–which is amazing! The final topic was the Great Lakes Guantlet event coming up in Michigan September 16-17.  Hope you enjoy it. 

This episode covers a wide size of topics from my 1/5 scale Primal RC Monster Truck down to the 1/24 scale Axial SCX24 and FMS FCX24

Axialfest Badlands 2022 was off the hook! I'm so glad I was able to make it–even if it was only for a day and a half. Definitely was the best one yet and very well attended. The trails were laid out really well, the events I saw were well run and well attended (I didn't get to see TTC and the Concourse). They gave away tons of cool prizes and the trophies for the events were awesome. The best part is always the people...and there were a lot of them there. Very fun to meet up with old friends and make new ones. The $10k donation that Horizon made to Operation 11 Charlie was also amazing to see. Hope you enjoy the podcast. I have a couple more videos to come from the event.

As someone who has as Masters Degree in Communication Arts, this is a really frustrating problem for me. The frustration really lies with the companies that allow intellectual property rights to be so blatantly infringed upon, make it hard to report/remove, and continue pay people who do it because they want people interacting with the app regardless what keeps them there. It is maddening to spend the time and money I do only to have people invest nothing, but grab my best content and other creators' best content and re-post it to grow their channel that has nothing original and make money off our investment. Youtube is good about fighting it. Instagram and Facebook let it flourish.

I have a lot to say about the RC Monster Jam World Finals. Some about the racing and freestyle, but mostly about the experience. What an amazing event they put on for the pit party.

When it comes to the RC Hobby, we all make mistakes along the way. Don't let it get you down. Learn from it and move on. My mistake was pretty big and during a time when I needed to be getting things ready for a big race. Instead...I had to tear down the truck and repair it.  Lesson learned. What RC Mistakes have you made that you've learned from.
