There's nothing that can destroy a community faster or not completely than jealousy. Unfortunately there have been pressures inside the radio-controlled hobbyist community. As such, there can be no tolerating of the predator of competitive jealousy in our community. How do we fight this community crushing fear and anxiety that causes elitism, gatekeeping, and weaponised misinformation. In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we find out how our triangle of values: Nostalgia, Quality, and Collaboration can save our R/C hobby.

If you've decided to get an alternative head to put on your driver body of your 1:10th scale Tamiya radio-controlled car, truck, buggy, jeep, van, or bus, you have a lot of options. But how do you find the best one for you and your R/C model vehicle? In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we break down the differences between resin and 3D (three dimensional) printed heads, and how to truly find the most reputable online sellers and manufacturers.
Many people like to use an airbrush to paint their radio-controlled model vehicles' Lexan polycarbonate or ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) body shells. But which is the best airbrush for each type of plastic, and is there any all in one airbrushing solution? In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we review and rate airbrushes and find the best solutions for R/C car, truck, buggy, jeep, van, bus, tank, plane, boat, helicopter, and drone hobbyists and enthusiasts.
Some people prefer too use airbrushes to paint their radio-controlled model vehicles' Lexan polycarbonate or ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) body shells and some people prefer to use Tamiya's spray paint rattle cans. Why such a disparity? In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we look at both the positives and negatives of each method and answer which option is best for you, the R/C car, buggy, truck, jeep, van, bus, or tank hobbyist.
While the reres (re-releases) of the Tamiya HotShot family of 4WD (four wheel drive) R/C buggies had some serious updates over the iconic vintage originals, there are still a lot of hop-up options available for this entire family of icons, both for the vintage and rere editions. In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we rank them and put them in tiers of necessity to build the ultimate 4WD buggy. [NOTE: We still strongly recommend the MIP (Moore's Ideal Products) Super Ball Diff for the HotShot family even though it is difficult to find since it is currently discontinued]
The HotShot Family of 4WD (Four Wheel Drive) radio-controlled buggies were iconic and each new family member was an improvement upon its previous kin. But when Tamiya re-released these R/C buggies they made massive improvements both family-wide but also to each individual radio control model vehicle too. In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we break down each of these major improvements to the reres.
