Horizon RC Fest Is This Week! Why Are RC Prices Rising?

Horizon RC Fest is this week! Looking forward to spending the weekend at Eli Field and racing RC Monster Trucks.

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

The Move From Hell! (Also Upcoming Events I Plant To Attend)

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. 

 

 

I Hate Goodbyes! Moving To....Drum Roll Please

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. 

It's Official, We're Moving!

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. 

 

 

Spektrum Smart Firma Brushless Sensored Crawler ESC and Motor

Time for another upgrade for the Redcat Gen8 V2. I'm putting a Spektrum Firma Sensored Brushless ESC and 1400KV Motor in it to give it some extra smooth power. The install is easy and the ability to change ESC Setting from the remote is amazing. I've put some affiliate links below to the items used or discussed in this video.

Talking RC and No Limit World Finals With Jeremy Smith

My buddy Jeremy visited today to hangout, fix a few RCs and sit down for a podcast. We've done the first two things a lot, but not the podcast part. Recording the Podcast with him was a lot of fun and I wish we'd done it a lot more before the upcoming move. Expect more of these via the phone in the future.  Hope you like it. 

Talking Axialfest 2021 With Jeremy Griffith from Big Squid RC

I called Jeremy Griffith to chat with him about Axialfest 2021 to hear how it went and what he liked about it. This is that conversation. We go all over the place, but always land back on topic...eventually.  

Where Have I Been? Why Did I Miss Axialfest Badlands?

I have some explaining to do. I've been absent and I apologize. This podcast will be a bit of a brain dump as I go through things that happened since the last one.
