RC Newb Podcast - Episode 2: An Empty Shelf (Life)

We're back with another episode, but nothing much has changed.  No intro music, no r/c truck and more ideas than I know what to do with.  So what does a person do when their radio-controlled vehicle is in the shop? They come up with a list of upgrades and hop-ups! Bodies - This is an easy visual enhancement.  You can really make the vehicle your own with a custom body. Springs and Shocks - A simple and relatively low-cost performance upgrade for bashing or racing. Tires & Wheels - Performance meets visual appeal.  If you're thinking about hitting the track, keep an eye on what your competitors are running. Undertrays and Overtrays - Protect your electronics and servos from battle damage by bolting on an added shield. Sway bars and other chassis upgrades - Dial in your performance and handling whether you're bashing or racing. Motor and Electronic Speed Control (ESC) - The ultimate performance boost.  These will cost the most money, but you'll get the biggest return in the form of speed. Radios, servos, and receivers - With a little ingenuity (and a lot of money) you can rebuild your entire vehicle.  It's been done. I've also found some great sites that offer amazing deals on r/c parts and accessories.  Here are a few of my favorites: TheBarnFloor.com RCPlanet.com HobbyPartz.com AMainHobbies.com Subscribe to the RC Newb Podcast!
