Hot and Not - We get real right off the hop in RC for 2024!

Hot and Not - We get real right off the hop in RC for 2024!

This is a great hobby and it’s the reason why I keep doing this podcast, but I have to start this year off with a hot take on what I think is great in the hobby right now in terms of releases, and what I think is absolutely horrible that’s right we go there on this episode and we also get into a little bit of what we want to see in the next year in RC!

We get into an update on the ROCKALOPE Slapper build - the chassis is coming along but there are a lot of considerations to make for the rest of this truck and we get a little help from our firends! We also look at a few new PRO-LINE offerings, talk SEMA and shrink things down this winter season to keep the RC racing juices flowing!

It came from the BeYOnD the GRAVE - BUILD ANNOUNCEMENT ... and ... the scariest RC podcast of the year!

It came from the BeYOnD the GRAVE - BUILD ANNOUNCEMENT ... and ... the scariest RC podcast of the year!

It's the SCARIEST AN LONGEST episode of the year - scary good!
I tease you and tease you about a new build and potential build series rising from the grave across the border to the OCRC homestead - it's a big one involving SCALE METAL SUPPLIES and RC_AMIGOS!
Speaking of which - we have some epic chat in this episode with both of those lads - with SMS's Andre Campos we get into what's new with SMS and the WHOOPACABRA and RCOKALOPE chassis! And with PABLO from RC_AMIGO LAND we talk race prep for him and his son with indoor season coming and touch on how I should move forward with my build!

Strap in and listen hard - OCRC is back on the air!

The Great RC Dilemma; Hockey Lessons and Marvel - where art thou?

The Great RC Dilemma; Hockey Lessons and Marvel - where art thou?

If you want to be in RC you’ve got to think about budget. Yeah guys it’s time to grow up a little bit. How do we manage this hobby so that it doesn’t cause us stress? We are in this hobby for fun and I get into my take on what it means to have an RC budget and a lot of you might shake your heads and go “You’re crazy man - budget no thank!” We also get into lessons from a really tough hockey tournament and things I think parents can do to look at difficult situations and turn them into silver linings for your kids in sports. We also chat a little bit on the Marvel Universe. Is there a marvel hush in the works? Has Marvel lost its lustre? All this and more on this weeks episode of POP JAW.

When an RC Dad wins BIG - Long, short course talk - PWHL Full Draft - Dad Bod Sprints?

When an RC Dad wins BIG - Long, short course talk - PWHL Full Draft - Dad Bod Sprints?

My stats team kills me off the top of this one - but I listen to the experts! This episode has us switch the order up a bit leading off with a very special guest in Pablo Guerrero from @rc_amigos talking 1/10 scale RC BUGGY RACING and a very special journey he is on with someone close to him. After we tear up the airways with his turf testimony, I launch (like a ballooning SCT) into short course truck chatter - what's out there, what's new and why RC PUNDITS have said there is a drop off in popularity of the short course truck - we respectfully disagree. We then hit the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) for a little look a the full draft that took place and notable signings and then end 'quickly' with a chat on SPRINTS - how they are supposed to be good for you and what I really think about them in Dad Bod!
We couldn't pack more into this one if we tried!

TT02 Renew and Equal Pay for Equal Play?

TT02 Renew and Equal Pay for Equal Play?

Back in the podcast studio a.k.a. the stinky garage we get into how we started to get back into RC by building with Tamiya and we also talk at length about the PWHL, which is the professional women’s hockey league and why I believe men or women you should be paid equally to play any sport at the same level. Plus we get a chance to chat with Pablo Guerrero about being a dad trying to be a coach, who’s trying to be a dad who’s trying to be a coach - it’s not as simple as it sounds.

Throwin' Spare Parts Around & Universal MAGIC!

Throwin' Spare Parts Around & Universal MAGIC!

The producers thought it would be funny if they dumped a pile of spare RC parts on my bench and watched what happened. I wasn't laughing, but it did get me thinking about building! We break down She-Hulk Episode 4 - 'Is this not real magic?' SPOILERS. It's DISNEY DAY and we touch on some of the new series and movies on Disney+. AND THEN.... we get into the epic pop culture laced Florida trip to Universal Studios! It's gonna be fun!

Associated Amigos, XV 02 Deets, Asphalt Dreams and Shout Outs!

So much to discuss (Pablo) on this episode of the podcast (Tamiya). Excited to talk about builds (ElementRC) and some racing coming up (Parking Lot Heaven!) And because we don’t want to give too many details away (AE) or let the cat out of the bag here (XV02) just listen already! 😆

Is U4RC for U? Or are you a CHUMP?

Is U4RC for U? Or are you a CHUMP?

That’s the question of the episode. The answer for me is ‘yes it is!’ as we focus in on what it takes to get to the top of the mountain - or at least the starting line in U4 RC! Pablo and I FIRE UP the SYRUP n' SALSA machine once again and pop off about a TON of news from our respective benches and we dive FACE FIRST into the dirt that is the very foundation of U4. OR are you more of a CHUMP and looking for on-road parking lot action? If so The PTBO RC Chump Racing Series is coming as soon as the snow melts and we have Founder Jeremy Kelly on to talk about it!

Strap in. Hold on and make sure you have a lot of spare parts for this one!

Episode 3 is up next!

At Arrma's length? Arrma-ed and ready? Arrma you ready for this one?

In episode 2, season 2 we venture deep into the snowy tundra to answer the question - is Arrma’s latest offering what the RC hobby needs right now? We also touch on U4 with rc_amigos and talk a bit about itty bitty indoor crawling courses! This is just the tip of the iceberg (see what I did with the winter theme there?) when it comes to great RC convos on the podcast this year! Stay tuned …

Looking back (and forward) in RC at the same time

Our first episode of Season 3 looks back at the jumps we made in RC, the dirt we kicked up and the hot laps that stood out the most! We also take a look ahead to the new challenges and builds we are hoping to tackle - as well as the bench and what guests might land on it in 2022!

Size Matters - or does it?

Size Matters - or does it?

We are back at it on the podcast and we kick things off with a visit from our friend Pablo at RC_Amigos. We get into some crawler talk, talk about my crazy journey in crawling and how it might be starting up again and we also chat a bit about, that’s right, the Christmas season. If you know anything about RC_amigos you know he is the Christmas king. And what podcast would be complete without another episode of Worth Every Penny - it’s all here so put on your ears and take a listen!

We also discuss mighty, mini fun in RC as well as an update on RCAmigo’s Monster Mash and of course, what episode would be complete without a rally chat? Welcome back!

Syrup N' Salsa - Episode 2

Syrup N' Salsa - Episode 2

Pablo and I start the engine on another episode of Syrup N’ Salsa. This week we talk about how RC can become overwhelming if you let it and some strategies to make sure it doesn’t get there. We also talked about Pablo‘s latest comp experience with his kids - some great performances were turned in there - and of course we shout out to our local hobby stores - RPP and Hobby Hobby.

5 Tips to Focus Your RC Energy!

5 Tips to Focus Your RC Energy!

RC is a fantastic hobby - in my books, the best hobby there is. That said, it can be overwhelming, like Christmas morning as a seven-year-old overwhelming! For me personally I know there’s been many times where I’ve gotten in way over my head and not really thought through my choices in the RC hobby. These are my 5 tips to help you avoid some of the pain that I’ve seen in my choices in this hobby and hopefully help you get the most out of it and stay in it for a long, long time. We also get into another episode of worth every penny and it is a real ‘charge’ of a segment! Enjoy!

Parking Lot FIRE and Worth Every Penny

Parking Lot FIRE and Worth Every Penny

We talk parking lot racing with Jeremy from the PTBO (Find out what that acronym stands for in this episode.) we also get into why there’s been this trend in parking lot racing in the GTA. Also we get into a new journey in RC for me 1/8 scale E buggy. And last but definitely not least episode two of Worth Every Penny. This is a jampacked episode. Make sure to listen all the way to the end for a special announcement!

Rally Blocks and Fresh New Looks

Rally Blocks and Fresh New Looks

We go deep into rally and talk about the GTARC Cup, how it came about, where it’s headed and how rally is taking over certain parts of Toronto. A new segment hits the podcast and it is called ‘Every Penny Counts’, where we spin the wheel,select a dollar amount and tell you what you should spend your hard earned cash on during your next trip to the hobby store!And while we celebrate this Father’s Day weekend, we have big news to share for you (consider it a gift from this father to all the fathers out there) as we unveil a whole new look for OhCanada RC - all in this episode!

The Performance Issue

The Performance Issue

Perforamance can be measured in many ways. In RC, the first thing that comes to mind might be racing. But for me, things that come to mind are how you act in the hobby, are you giving off positive vibes, making you a good preformer or are you cagey and grumpy, giving off bad vibes making you a bad one?
For me, I try to be a good preformer in this hobby. In this issue we talk:
- Tamiya XV01 build and first impressions
- Buying and selling in this hobby and some ways to navigate the process
- Local Hobby Shop/Store (LHS) Spotlight - Hobby Hobby in Mississauga (It smells like a hobby shop should)
- And a little chat with our mand from the PNW, Pablo Guerreo (rc_amigos)

Special shout out to the best performance wallets out there - CX Wallets - I hope you enjoy this episode!

Hot time in City

Hot time in City

Dirt dust and grime it’s why were in this hobby. In this episode we focus on dust will focus on dirt and grime another time. So who better to kick it off with them Pablo from the dusty PNW. Pablo once sent me a video of a tumbleweed going across the road he was driving on so it’s legit dusty there. We talk about how life has been a bit like a dust devil and I’ll give you the definition of what that is in this episode. We also get into rally,rally cross or rally running or whatever the heck you wanna call it. It’s a Dusty Dusty episode did I mention it’s dusty and I hope you enjoy it.

THE BIG ONE

THE BIG ONE

This is the BIG ONE! In this episode, we had on a lot of key pieces including but not limited to: new projects on the bench incluiding the Tamiya RC rally conversion - I am so excited about this one! We’re aiming at the Datsun 240 Z body. We also reignite the conversation around local tracks as I explore options in the Greater Toronto Area to possibly open a track. You've got to hear where we land on this one - it’s positive but there’s also so many learnings in what it takes to really open a track and keep it open.
And last but not least a brush with fame - RC amigos' very own Pablo Guerrero finds his way into the hollowed pages of RC CarAction with the Frankenwaggon. We are stoked to have Pablo on this episode! You wanna listen all the way to the end to hear when the next MONSTER MASH is happening - it’s May 4th - that’s tomorrow and it’s live on YouTube on the RC Amigos channel - don’t miss it watch live and comment on the action. (I told you it was a big one!)
May 04, 202101:03:55
All that and a bag of RC!

All that and a bag of RC!

Michael from CarryAllRC hits the podcast with us and goes off on an amazing tangent about carry bags for RC‘s. If you’ve ever considered getting a bag that you can take a long on your next bash crawl or race you don’t want to miss this episode.

Nuttin' but love

Nuttin' but love

It’s been a little while since I had a new episode but in this one I wanted to make sure that we gave nothing but love to everybody in the RC industry and everybody practising the RC religion. Things get off to a serious start but it’s all for the good and the greater good of this hobby. Local tracks need support they need promotion it’s the only way they’ll stay alive and I get into why I am an advocate for all of our local tracks the best that I can be. Pablo and I get into his latest adventure and we talk about what it means to be a part of a serious crawling comp. He also teases us on an upcoming competition that he’s launching. And I give ARRMA my respect for more than how tough they are in the RC game. I hope you enjoy this episode and I hope you’re staying safe wherever you are in the world!

Triple Threat

Triple Threat

In this brief but powerful triple threat addition of the podcast we talk about many things. First we get into a more fulsome review of the RedCat Wendigo - from crawl to full send! The love affair with SCTs continues too as we get back into 4wd action and talk Tekno 410 - my first impression on this legacy platform and what I think of the handling. Finally, an amazing thing is happening on my street, it has to do with RC and it’s a great feel-good story that you don’t want to miss. On this short but mighty episode of OhCanadaRC - The Podcast!

Traxxas dragged in kicking and screaming

Traxxas dragged in kicking and screaming

OK well they weren’t really dragged in kicking and screaming but really what choice did Traxxas have with the no prep drag game in RC picking up and heating up the way it has? They almost had to enter into the ring and fight with the other big dogs. Regardless, we are stoked to see Traxxas in this arena and really interested to see where the drag scene goes in RC with the recent surge of kits available to consumers. We get into my opinions around this we talk a little short course truck action with a very special helping hand from one Spencer Rivkin. Also, a few thoughts on a few other hot items in RC all in this episode - lucky no.13!

Say Cheese and RC for Autisim

Say Cheese and RC for Autisim

Chances are if you are in RC you’ve taken a photo or two of your rigs. The question is how much better could they be? I know mine can be a lot better and consistency is something that I try and strive for in every video and photo I take. So it’s with that in mind that Pablo Guerrero joins us for a chat on videography and photos. Now we’re not talking technical description step by step of every photo you take in every video you shoot, but we are giving some high-level really high value tips for the next time you pull out your phone or action camera. Also don’t miss the second segment of this podcast where we get into one of the most exciting draws for one of the best causes so far this year with OutlawsofmotorsportRC and his autism awareness raffle. If you’re looking to have a dope one-of-a-kind body for your monster truck or drift or on-road car, you need to listen.

The Zero Prep, No Prep Ep

The Zero Prep, No Prep Ep

Always be prepared - it’s been the motto used for many things by many people throughout history - conquerers, great leaders, legendary athletes, The Avengers, I could go on and on. So how ironic was it that the episode on No Prep Drag Racing involved little to no prep and came together like a stock car off the line - hot, fast and straight (ok not one of my best analogies) that is until it hit the 25 meter mark and swerved wildly, still crossing the finish line but not quite as good as I thought it would. What the hell am I talking about? Listen in and find out. Erik Sarceno was one of our best return guests ever and he saves the show! The host and producer - well, he almost blew it off the line.

The Scneidster Chronicles Vol.2

The Scneidster Chronicles Vol.2

Local lad Nick Schneider joins us once again on the podcast for a laugh. We get into Tekno talk and we talk about Team Tek-Tario - now that’s a mouthful. I spill the beans a little bit about my latest tear down and hopes and aspirations for the summer racing season. Also tracks are starting to extend specials on memberships if you’re in the GTA! Keep your eyes open for specials at DORC, Otterville and other tracks! Now is the time to get memberships at a great deal. Join us for another journey down the podcast paradigm of RC.

Just Send It?

Just Send It?

Just Send It. It's a phrase that we use so often in RC - but how many times is it simply bravado? Something we say just to fit the image of hardcore? It's like the words, 'Dialed' or 'Rad'. But when you say 'Just Send It' and you actually do, with no reservations, no concerns for the outcome, and with a blindfold on!? Well, that is legendary.
Despite the true radness of all this, our chat with Lorenzo and Johnny was hilarious. They are two, down to Earth guys who love the hobby and in my mind are great local ambassadors for the sport. We talk big air, yes, but we also get real about how they started out and where they are going. And let's just say that all this talk turned on my Tekno switch (which you'll know from my latest Instagram Reels).
Beyond this great conversation, I get into Losi's latest 'roller' offering and my thoughts on it - curious to know what you think of it so leave me a comment! And we also talk a bit of NPD (No Prep Drag) and I wander into a dream state about being able to join the local scene - maybe this summer?
All and all a fun episode - enjoy on your next drive to Tim Hortons, Star Bucks or wherever your life is taking you these days? Or perhaps listen while you drift off to sleep? (My wife would say that this podcast is the perfect antidote for insomnia).
Keep your finger pinned to the throttle my friends - and enjoy the ride.

Playing (more than) the Servo Game

Playing (more than) the Servo Game

There's a reason why Shareef, Owner of ReefsRC is always smiling. You can hear it in his voice throughout this episode of OhCanadaRC - The Podcast. It's because he's constantly up to something, and it's all good! It's no secret that ReefsRC is the title sponsor of our podcast, but you don't need to know that to know the reason why this brand is so strong, not only in the torque they provide through their many servos, but in innovation in this great hobby. We chat about some of the latest products from ReefsRC to come out since late 2020, find out how they've been received by hobbiests and gearheads around the world of RC and even put Shareef on the spot. He agreed to play a little game I like to call, 'Servo Says' (Stolen of course from the popular phrase 'survey says...' in Family Feud), only in this game we give Shareef a class of car and ask for his best recommendation on the servo to use in it. I also weigh in on my late night appearance on TacoBout RC with rc_Amigos' Pablo Guerrero (nice being a guest for a change!). Updates on the RedCat Wendigo build, electronics we are going with and talk a little about the love found in this RC community and why it's ALL of our responsibility to keep it going strong - INCLUDING A MASSIVE SHOUT OUT LIST to all those in the RC Family that inspire me each day (today is Family Day in Canada so it's only fitting!) Enjoy...

Onroad Obsessions and Mystery RC Boxes

Onroad Obsessions and Mystery RC Boxes

The on-road obsession continues. My love for all things Tamiya gets blown wide open with my M08 chassis and a build that will go down as a favourite. My thoughts on why this blast from the past class is going to be the most fun to run when the tracks open up again. Also, we get an update on Cedar Valley RC and how Matt Brase’s quest to build critical mass in racing is going. I also explore RC Box Club and eagerly await the treasures to come! Lastly, I heard your jeers, your hisses and your boos - I’ll get on with the Red Cat Wendigo build already - it’s coming!

All this plus talking RC Car Action, what's on the bench (Tamiya M08 build) and we touch on the upcoming RedCat Wendigo!

Shades of Patina

Shades of Patina

We’ve all heard the saying ‘shake the rust off’. Well in this episode we ADD the rust, and the holes and the corrosion and that vintage patina look with RCPatinaGuy! If you don’t have a patina body in your fleet right now, you might want one after this chat. Also we talk about work benches, how the heck do we keep them organized and how can we make better use of the spaces we wrench in? I challenge you to send me the photos of your awesome work spaces and I take on my own before and after work bench challenge too! All this plus some very special shout outs to a few listeners who reached out and told me how they are getting through the pandemic with the use of RC therapy.

So hopefully this episode sounds A LOT better - you'll HEAR what I mean when you listen. But more importantly, I need your help as I am losing my ever loving mind! Please listen and give me your feedback - I need to know how you are staying sane in this crazy world!

A New Hope?

A New Hope?

Well we are two epis into the new season and a new journey (or journeys) are underway. First off, we journey to the Ottawa, Ontario area to speak with NetCruzer himself, John Kennedy about his journey in RC, racing and everything on four wheels. John and I get into some chat about Electrosport RC track in Ottawa, a once indoor horse paddock? We go into stadium trucks and what he took away from a visit to the 2019 Canadian Onroad Nationals. In our second segment, we go to my favourite place that I've never been - the Pacific Northwest United States - or PNW - to kick off the year right with rc_Amigos (Pablo G). We reveal #PROJECTWENDY, talk #HolmesHobbies and setup for rock bouncers (hint, hint). ANd the most important thing we talk about is Pablo's new Head of Design @Amigo Arts - OMG takes centre stage with some MONSTER competition for her dad. Enjoy y'all!
