We’re back and in this episode we talk about the silly season! What is the silly season? We’ll let’s just say it has something to do with the off-season, the winter, and making sure you get optimal trigger time during this cold,dark part of the year in this hemisphere. 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 complet...

We announce our first ever contest on the podcast so listen to the end to see how you can win. We also get into crawling deep with Anthony from Whatsasoltys, and we just chat while we wrench on my rallies and talk a little bit about the local GTA RC scene about how things could get even more interesting in the 2021 2022 season. HINT: More Packed Dirt - maybe …

As the summer comes to a close this episode could be the hottest one yet! Watch your ears because a sunburn could be coming to them after you listen to our exclusive interview with ElementRC‘s John Schultz as well as an epic episode of Worth Every Penny and a whole bunch of other goodies in this episode of OhCanadaRC!

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.

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...

Welcome to the very first pilot episode of Syrup N’ Salsa! Pablo Guerrero and I take to the airwaves and video once again to bring you some insights into the RC lifestyle. It’s more of what you hopefully love from Pablo and I jokes jabs and lots of insights into what it means to be an RC dad. Tell us what you think! Leave me a comment on the podcast. Also watch the episode on Pablo‘s new Instagram...

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 sp...

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...

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...

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 tha...

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...

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.

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 a...

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 stre...

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 avai...

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 pho...

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...

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...

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 Lo...

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 throug...

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...

This is the - LET'S GO, GET PUMPED, DO YOUR PART FOR THE RC HOBBY Edition. We get into commentary around JQRacing's new video series on saving RC racing and we get behind it too! @outlawsofmotorsportsrc joins the podcast to talk SOLID AXLES, 1:1 scale Monster Trucks and TANKS! YES, TANKS. We also get into Autisim Awareness through RC and the iconic Spectrum body and the story behind it (it's a goo...

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 challeng...

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!  

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 v...
