RC Newb Podcast - Episode 49: A Look at the ARRMA Voltage Lineup & What's in Store for 2018
The RC Newb PodcastShow Notes
As 2017 draws to a close, I wanted to share some thoughts on a few of the R/C models I'm playing with (and reviewing) as well as taking a look at what 2018 has in store.
Show notes:
ARRMA's Voltage lineup offers a unique twist on battery compatibility in entry-level bashing machines. So far, I like what I've seen from this approach.
The ECX Barrage lineup has grown over the past year, including the addition of a 1/24-scale trail truck.
Another model line that's seen big growth in 2017 has been Team Associated's 1/28-scale vehicles. With a mixture of modern and retro, they've got something for everyone with these micro radio-controlled machines.

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.
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.
