The RC Newb Podcast - Episode 37: Talking Tamiya with Rich from 2RCProductions

I’m fresh off of a two-week vacation road trip and I’m ready to talK about all things R/C. Joining me for this episode is my good friend, and past RC Newb Podcast guest, Rich from 2RCProductions. We covered an array of topics in just over two hours, from his custom Tamiya “Stretchbox” build for fellow hobbyist, “Mid Life R/C”, the upcoming re-release of the Tamiya Blackfoot, radios, quadcopters, and much more.

Is a larger version of the Hypertrax on the way? It looks like some research is in order.
