While My Batteries Charge RC Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Things are finally settling down after the awesome weekend at the Great Lakes Gauntlet! We had mostly great weather and lots of opportunity to run RCs and hang out. 

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. 

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

In this episode, I'll be talking about how I got into 1/24 scale mini RC Comps, why I love the ARRMA Granite 3s so much, and about other hobbies I have outside of RC.  

Putting things from the past couple weeks to bed and moving on so I can find the joy in RC again. Running RCs puts a huge smile on my face again and that's what I'm looking to get back to. On top of that, I found that Kyosho release a Mini-z 4x4 Defender 90 that is beautiful and Gens Ace new D300 charger is amazing. Let's talk about it.

"What happened to the podcast? We love it. We want more episodes" - While My Batteries Charge Listeners. 

I have heard you loud and clear. Please know that the podcast isn't going away. I'm always shocked by how many people I meet in person always mention the podcast.  It's crazy. Thank you for your patience. I'm working to reboot things around here and make more time for the podcast. Hopefully this one will help explain why there haven't been very many in 2023. 

Just got back from USTE 2023 and it truly is one of the best RC events in the world. I could tell you why in the description...but then you wouldn't listen to the podcast which doesn't make sense. Enjoy!

It's finally here! The episode I've been teasing for a while...how 24th scale RC crawlers are similar to what the hobby train scene was like many years ago. People are building courses in their house to run these mini crawlers. I had Jaysen's RC's on with me to discuss it.  Sub to Jaysen's RCs: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3_18No-HmTDLiY6fGDYfJA 

Happy New Year you RC Freaks! I'm super excited about the possibilities for 2023. It's nice to start with a clean slate and a clear mind for the year. My goal is to work harder to make my 2022 goals have even more of an impact on my personal RC journey–and that starts with learning to say "No." As a "helper" personality, that is hard for me to do. I like to say yes and help people, but I'm at the point where it's no longer helping people as I can't keep up. Letting people down really stresses me out and that really hurts my content and frame of mind–which isn't what I want a "hobby" to do. So I'm going to focus on my wants and work with people when the two align. Be sure to focus on your health and mental health this year too. Let's do it!
