Reef shares about how he got into the hobby and why he started Reef's RC. It's obvious that he brought a users perspective to his company and was bringing a solution to a problem he experienced while on the trail with his RCs. On top of that, he explains their newest product–the Triple 4 Smart Winch. This low profile servo can be used as a winch or a steering servo. Hope you enjoy it.

Two new RCs were dropped on the market recently that caught my attention and both of them really focus on a scale look with their detailed cages. I'm talking about the Losi Super Baja Rey 2.0 and the Enduro Gatekeeper. They are opposite ends of the scale market and in size, but both have a nice attention to detail in their build. I like what Element RC is doing with the gatekeeper because it gives that nice tube frame look, but also hinges up to allow easy access to the electronics. You don't get that with the SBR 2.0, but you'll probably also not work on tuning it as much as a crawler will want to mess with their setup. Or maybe I'm projecting my thoughts on all of you. Hah. Either way, both look like exciting releases to me.

The RC market has seen a huge influx of tiny trucks that are 1/24 scale....and I really dig them. They've made them more capable then before and they are really fun to run indoors. I just upgraded one of mine and took the boys to a new RC track in town that has a micro course.
Here are some links to the parts I installed.

Today on While My Batteries Charge, I'll be talking about the Traxxas Hoss, ARRMA Felony and Infraction V2, my video on the SMT10 Mud Truck build, and the new RC Track in Chesapeake, VA–Coastal RC Indoor Speedway & Hobbies. I'm really like the new RCs that I've had on the channel, so my RC run times have been pretty fun! As always, more to come.

This episode is a look at the new RCs I have coming and projects I have to work on. There are a lot of videos waiting to be made...just not the time right now. Looking forward to the Traxxas Hoss coming in, RC4WD Intimidator pull sled, and one I forgot about during the podcast–the ARRMA Big Rock. More coming with lots of other RCs too. So much stuff! AHHH! I need more time in the day! Work and family come first.

It was a bit of a crazy week in RC last week. It started on Monday, August 10, 2020 when we heard that Horizon Hobby acquired Pro-Line Racing. That put everyone in a tizzy. The next day, Traxxas announced the Hoss. The day after that ARRMA dropped the Felony and Infraction V2. It was a release war.

For the second podcast installment on Axialfest Badlands 2020, I had Jeremy Griffith from Big Squid RC on to talk about his Axial rigs he had on the trail and his experience there.
You can learn about the rigs he had at Axialfest in his EVERYBODY'S SCALIN' COUNTING DOWN TO AXIALFEST article over at bigsquidrc.com. Click on the title to go check it out.
We had a great conversation about the SCX10iii, Capra, Axialfest trails, his concourse winning Monster Truck, and more. Hope you enjoy it.
More coming your way very soon.

Welcome to the first of a small series of podcasts about Axialfest Badlands 2020. It was awesome that Axial and Horizon Hobby were able to put it on given the current climate. The event was a great mind break from everything going on and allowed us to focus on our shared passion for the RC hobby.
This episode covers my entire Axialfest journey from preparation, to truck builds, to the event itself. I'll be covering the event specifics in other podcasts, so let me know if you have certain things you want me to hone in on. I plan to do one about my favorite part about Axialfest Badlands, another about experiences with people, maybe one on the night run, and one with Jeremy From Big Squid about his thoughts on it.
So strap in for the ride.
