Show Notes
Spring is in the air, snow is on the ground... I have no idea what's going on with the weather, but it's been playing havoc with my R/C plans in a big way. On the bright side, I've been able to spend some time in my shop, working on my machines and dreaming up new accessories to create through 3D printing.
In this episode of the RC Newb Podcast, I share my thoughts on Axial's Yeti Jr. Rock Racer, talk about my latest hobby focus (3D printing) and more.

Axial’s Yeti Jr. Rock Racer
An easy upgrade for improved steering performance is to swap out the stock servo. I chose the Savox SH-0263-MG for my upgrade.
Check out RC Arsenal and GIOSTEALTHR1 for similar upgrade how-to videos.
Additional upgrades for the Yeti Jr. include a brushless motor, ESC, LiPo battery, and a nifty, 3D printed electronics relocation tray.
3D Printed Accessories
Rich at 2RCProductions and Matt from RCOverload have shared their thoughts on a few 3D printed accessories that I have developed for specific 1/25 and 1/10 trail rigs.

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.
