Love RC cars, drones, or anything that goes fast? This episode is pure joy for hobbyists and tech lovers alike. Mitchell Whitfield reignites his passion for RC vehicles, from his first build to a garage full of high-speed toys—and Horizon Hobby is at the center of it all.

Marc Aflalo and Mitchell dive deep into the evolution of radio-controlled vehicles, spotlighting Horizon’s innovative brands like Lossi, Arma, and Axial. From Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) to waterproof electronics, we explore how these toys have become high-performance machines. Plus, Mitchell shares how rediscovering his old collection led to a brand-new obsession—and why support from Horizon is just as impressive as their products.

Whether you’re RTR-curious or an old-school tinkerer, there’s something here for every level of RC fan.
