In this episode of the RC Newb Podcast, I am joined by an individual who's not only a R/C enthusiast, but also a talented videographer and visual storyteller. Terry McGee (RCTrailblazr) has style for showcasing his various rigs and radio-controlled machines through video. On top of that, he has been doing some amazing work with his sponsor AsiaTees and has some great insight into what sponsors are looking for and what you can do to better-position yourself in the eyes of brands and manufacturers.
Show notes:
If you’re looking to share your hobby adventures on YouTube, Facebook, or other video-centric websites, make sure your videos stand out from the crowd. Make them unique through camera angles, storytelling, and captivating footage.
When looking to attract sponsors, keep in mind that sponsorships, at any level, should be treated as a job.

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.
