I attended my first NR/CTPA World Championship earlier this month in Montpelier, Ohio and had a fantastic time. Because I had such a great time, I called up the RC Monster Truck race director, Eric Krush, to talk with him about the event. Hope you enjoy it and put it on the calendar for next year!

You know it's true Sean. You can't fight it forever. :) Lots of Upgrades for my SCX24 trucks and the SMT24 we all want, but have to build because it's not available. I talk about the upgrades I'm planning for my micro RCs.

What a great weekend of RC I just had. I was coming off the high of Horizon RC Fest 2021 and landed on the Great Lakes Gauntlet to re-energize it and keep it going. What an event the Gauntlet was. It also let me see how big the RC hobby is here in the state, which is very encouraging. Beyond events like this, there are two hobby shops supporting the crawling scene in west Michigan: Reaction Hobbies and the Crawler Space–both in Grand Rapids. On top of that, the location of the gauntlet is at Walter RC Park that has tons of RC options from racing, to crawling, to bashing, to flying. I've also been informed about local indoor off-road tracks that I need to check out.
After talking about the Gauntlet, I answer questions you posted for me on Instagram. Huge thanks to everyone who did respond to my request for questions.
I answer questions like:
"Should I modify my clod or keep it stock?" - rc_amigos
"How good was the new Typhon to actually drive?" - reubydoobe
"What RC's will we see in 2022?" - sideways0815
and more.

Josh Rhodes and I talk about our time at Horizon RC Fest 2021. We both participated in the RC monster truck racing, but each have our own perspective of the weekend based on what we did.

Then I talk about rising RC prices...which is something I'm not an expert on. They are just what I think is happening.

This recent move to Michigan was brutal. I haven't really been able to detail it all out for everyone and didn't plan to do it on video, so I thought I'd share in Podcast form. After detailing all the problems we encountered with this move, I do talk about upcoming events I plan to attend. I know for sure I'll be at Horizon Hobby RC Fest. I have my hotel booked and am getting my RC monster trucks ready. After that I hope to go to the Great Lakes Gauntlet the following weekend.

The move is getting very real. The office is in boxes and the moving truck arrives tomorrow. I can finally reveal where we are moving and explain why. But before I do that, I talk about the new CCxRC website I'm working on.
Let me know what topics you'd like discussed or people you'd like interviewed in future episodes.

Wow! It's been a crazy couple months here at CCxRC. New RC release videos, No Limit RC World Finals, work trips again, and now selling our house. The market was too good not to see what would happen and it went quickly! We now have to pack up all our stuff and move out. Luckily we have an RV we can stay in if we can't get into someplace soon. That said, I've quickly learned that one person can have too much RC stuff. Haha! Packing my office and garage has been a beast and I'm still not done. I've left out a few things I want to still make videos on–if I don't run out of time. This home has is where CCxRC started and many family memories were made, so it will be hard to leave, but we look forward to new adventures and memories to be made. Don't worry, there will be lots of new RC content as well.
