Show Notes
It's almost here…the 2024 holiday shopping season. I've always considered this to be one of the best times to get yourself into the hobby, get someone else into the hobby, or stock up on spare parts and accessories for the coming year.
In this episode of The RC Newb Podcast, I recap a few new models from Vanquish, Axial, Carisma, and FMS while also sharing some of the best Pre-Black Friday R/C deals of 2024.
Show Notes:
Vanquish has released a kit version of its H10 Optic trail buggy (and there's a twist).
Axial released several updated models to end 2024: SCX24 Lexus GX 470, SCX24 Base Camp, SCX10 III Base Camp (Updated), and UTB18 Capra 4WS.
Upgrade your SCX24 or SCX10 with various performance and scale accessories.
Carisma has released a Special Edition of its M48S Audi Sport Quattro with 5-spoke wheels and new tires for improved scale authenticity and off-road performance.
Classic off-road and overland fans rejoice; FMS has officially released the FCX10 Toyota LC80 1/10-scale trail rig.
Fair RC is also offering this model at the same price for a limited time.

More from The RC Newb Podcast
Most of my "hobby time" has been focused on small-scale machines lately. Between weather woes and overall fun, I've found these tiny (tiny) trucks to be a fun distraction from the day-to-day grind.
3D printing and the R/C hobby are an incredibly powerful duo. Whether you want to create your own designs for tools, parts, and storage, or you simply want to download neat items to make your R/C experience even better, 3D printing allows you to do just that.
One of the best ways to enjoy the R/C hobby and meet other hobbyists is to attend an R/C event. Whether it's a crawler event, a race, or something else, planning and bringing the right gear will help ensure you have the best time possible.
"This does not spark joy." Those were the words that were rolling around my head for a good portion of this year…until recently. I've been struggling with disinterest in the hobby and this episode of The RC Newb Podcast focuses on my thoughts during these "blah" times.
