The RC Newb Podcast - Episode 36: Geeking out with Andrew Jurcich

A longtime friend of RC Newb, Andrew Jurcich returns for this episode of the RC Newb Podcast. A variety of topics were covered, from Novak’s announcement that they’re going out of business, to Axial’s two new kits, to 3D printing, to Tamiya’s Blackfoot re-release, and a few items in-between. Show notes: Long-time R/C electronics maker, Novak, announces they are closing their doors after 30+ years of operation. Andrew and Tim share their thoughts on Axial’s latest kit releases, the RR10 Bomber and the SCX10 II. 3D printed R/C car parts and accessories are on the rise. Not only are parts for vehicles being produced, but also helpful tools that can assist your driving. Tim has his eye on the re-release version of Tamiya’s Blackfoot ($174.99). With these recent wave of classic R/C re-releases, have you been bitten by the nostalgia bug? Rich from 2RCProductions has a unique, extended Tamiya Lunchbox project that he’s detailed through a number of videos.
