While My Batteries Charge RC Podcast

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. 

Lots to talk about in this episode and I don't even talk about some of the cool new RCs coming. I'll have to have another episode about that. This is episode is about my trip to Freestyle RC Raceway for their Spring Trifecta, the CCxRC Mighty Handy Tool selling out in under 24 hours, more CCxRC products coming, upgrading the SCX24 Bronco so it doesn't tip over so easily, and more.  

Axial's new SCX24 Bronco just hit store shelves and I was able to get my hands on one...errrr...three. 

The mini RC game is really stepping up and my boys and I have fully jumped in.

First, I want to thank Dana Surrette for telling me to keep up the podcast last night, because it reminded me that I had recorded this episode earlier this week. I've been working with custom-made mini RC monster trucks for the past year and now have the new Furitek Rampart kit in hand. It's a thing of beauty. 

Are you feeling bored or disconnected with the RC Hobby? I've been there, but I don't know if it's actually boredom or a mind game that's going on inside. I'm still actively engaged, but don't feel as plugged in as I normally do because I'm focusing on a different element of the hobby, but thinking about the one I was plugged into months ago. It's a weird spot to be in and it's easier to deal with if you just call it out.  Let's talk about that. 

Then I'll answer questions that you submitted via my Instagram Story

It's been a tough final week as I work to get my Tiny Gappin' It Build ready to throw down it's run time for the competition. Weather has SUCKED! Honestly weather or not...I procrastinated because of other "life" things that took priority over playing with toy cars. The show must go on–Rain or Shine...or Snow (which we just had last night).  Video entries are due by March 27, 2022 by 11:59 PDT.
