Thankful for RC this Thanksgiving

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.

RC Fun at the 2024 Great Lakes Gauntlet

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. 

Furitek Unity Pro and Vanquish VRD are RC Game Changers

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. 

CCxRC Podcast Is Back!

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.
