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.

Happy Father's Day to all you RC dads out there! Hope you had a great one. I really enjoyed my boys today and this whole weekend. Definitely wanted to keep my focus on them as much as I could.
I also re-cap my painful 1/5th scale race day from last weekend. It was stressful, but I still really enjoyed the day and left with my RCs running better than when I came.

Lots to talk about in this episode. I talk about it later in the podcast, but want to link you to it first. Bari Musawwir has a new YouTube channel he is starting called Bari Builds. Subscribe to him here: https://www.youtube.com/user/bigbam2g
Axial announced their SCX10iii RTR today and it looks amazing. Get one while you can get it on the first pre-order because they will sell out. Pre-order at your local shop if you have one.
You can also pre-order them at Horizon Hobby.
