If you were hoping to hear a discussion about how to get the most out of attending an R/C event (I'm looking at you, Axialfest…), you'll have to wait a little while longer. I'm dedicating this episode of The RC Newb Podcast to the Traxxas TRX-4M, a small-scale rig that's got me feeling all giddy and excited about the hobby.







Show Notes:









Traxxas TRX-4M 1/18-scale R/C Crawler







Traxxas TRX-4M Upgrades







Hobby Recreation Products has the Carisma SCA-1E 2.1 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro in stock! (Save $30 with code HR221130)

Hello again! I'm back in my mobile recording studio to record another episode of The RC Newb Podcast. A lot has happened since episode 74; Axialfest Badlands 2022 came and went (and was awesome), Traxxas released several fun vehicles in various sizes, Element RC dropped a new entry-level crawler, and Carisma showcased its scale detail chops with a few new releases.







The topic of this episode is the small-scale crawling boom, but we'll cover a few other topics as well. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!







Show Notes:









Traxxas XRT







Carisma Scale Adventure SCA-1E 2.1 Spec 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro







Carisma MSA-1E Subaru Brat & Mitsubishi Pajero







Element RC Enduro Sport Edition







Traxxas TRX4M Ford Bronco & Land Rover Defender







Axial Capra UTB 18







FMS FCX24 Power Wagon







FMS FCX24 Max Smasher Monster Truck

When your dream car (or truck) is available in 1/10-scale, it's hard to pass up the opportunity to park one in your R/C garage. As soon as Traxxas announced its TRX-4 2021 Ford Bronco, I knew I needed that rig in my life.







In this episode of The RC Newb Podcast, I give an overview of my favorite features from this rig and also showcase some of the upgrades I've performed on it over the past year.

It's been a while…. It occurred to me that I haven't recorded a new episode of the RC Newb Podcast in some time. With that said, I sat down and rattled off some updates on the show and what I've been up to within the world of R/C.







As always, thank you for listening, subscribing, and sharing your passion for this great hobby.







Show Notes and R/C News:







I've been exploring some new R/C models over the past year, including the Traxxas TRX-4 2021 Ford Broco, the Element RC Knightrunner, the Element RC Gatekeeper (RTR), ROCHobby's Katana V2, the Axial SCX24 Jeep JT Gladiator, and a few others.Traxxas has a new 1/8-scale basher; Sledge.Axial is teasing a new (small-scale) release on 3/31/22.

It's a new year, and what better way to celebrate than by talking about the R/C hobby? I've mentioned CarryAll RC and their lineup of crawling and trail-focused backpacks in the past, so I figured it was time to give an overview of their X-TRA 3 Combo Backpack.







In addition to that, I want to find out what your hobby plans are for this new year. Are you a new hobbyist that's just getting started, or a seasoned pro who's planning to go big?







I've got my own plans for my hobby time and most of them focus on upgrading and massaging my current lineup of machines. Of course, I'm not ruling out a new vehicle or two...should the opportunity present itself.







As always, thank you for listening to The RC Newb Podcast and enjoy the episode!
