It's been a wild two months since I last made a podcast. I've been away from home a lot and am finally settling in to do a recap. Next time I'll take the podcast on the road with me. In this episode I'll be sharing about my trips to the Michigan Silver Lake Sand Dunes to run RCs and to Utah for the Losi RC Championship at the Monster Jam World Finals Pit Party. It was a wild time.

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.
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.
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.
Coming atcha with another podcast. 2 weeks of snow kept me from going up to the studio to record, but warmer weather is making the path and outdoor stairs manageable again. This episode i talk about my Hardpark Crawlers vDub, the LMT Mini, a new Furitek ESC, etc.
New year. New RC Fun! This year I'm planning to jump back into the RC Monster Trucks hot and heavy. I'm not getting out of the 1/24 scale....just looking to be more focused and do them and Monster Trucks pretty regularly. We'll see how well I can stick to it. I know I can't keep trying to do everything RC related alongside the other work I'm doing now. It's too much and it really doesn't let me get invested into the areas of RC I enjoy the most. Here's to a new year and more RC fun!
Axial is going and tugging on some of my heart strings with their latest release of the CJ-7. I'm not nostalgic of anything CJ-7 related, but rather the type of driving they showed in their release video as it reminded me of the RC crawling that got me hooked 8 years ago. Before I talk about that, we'll talk about the comp I was at last night and then compare the Losi LMT Mini and the ARRMA Granite Grom.
I have been so excited about the release of the LMT Mini ever since I heard it was being made. We've been working hard to build up interest in mini RC Monster Trucks for a couple years and this release takes them to a whole new level. Losi absolutely nailed it on this release.
I'm also really excited about the Losi RZR Rey and the scale performance it delivers. As my bashing style has changed to a bit more of a scale driving style, I appreciate vehicles like this so much more.
This episode also goes into a little bit of the personal side of RC and life for me and where things went sour and how I'm working to bring it back fresh.
It's been almost 2 months since the last podcast, so there is a lot of topics to cover!
I had a moment to talk with Greg Sopa and Alan Manriquez from Horizon Hobby/Losi at the world finals. It's a good chat.
While it is still fresh in my memory, I wanted to do a quick recap of Axialfest Badlands 2023 from my perspective.
Just got back from Horizon RC Fest 2023 and it was a blast. Already looking forward to Axialfest Badlands and have to get busy building the new Axial SCX10iii Base Camp Builder's Kit to run there.

Coming to Horizon RC Fest or Axialfest Badlands? Bring your SCX24s and AX24s to have some fun Carnival Comp'ing with us. Next weekend we'll be at Horizon RC Fest June 9-10 with One24Mop putting on a fun comp for 1/24th scale crawlers. At Axialfest Badlands we'll be using the same rules, but using the natural settings near the 1/24 course they setup because it's the perfect terrain.
Because comps are not the main focus of either event, we've created some rules and 5 different classes to keep it easy for anyone to participate. It's different than we normally comp, but we've run them like this before and it's a lot of fun. The rules can be found on my website: https://www.ccxrc.com/1-24-carnival-comp-rules
