Vintage Old School RCer
Jul 4, 2025
Even if you grew up in the Golden Age of RC in the late 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, as part of the RC hobbyist community you will learn something from this podcast. They do reviews, and teach you how to upgrade and fix your RC cars!
Description
Welcome to The RC Deep Dive podcast, your daily masterclass in the world of Tamiya radio-controlled model vehicles in under 30 minutes.
This is the ultimate anti-fluff resource for Tamiya RC builders, bashers, crawlers, collectors, drifters, racers, and speed runners. We publish a new, concise episode every day, focusing on the vintage, classic, and rere (re-release) models that have defined the radio control hobby.
We go beyond the RC hobby workbench. One day we're detailing HOW-TO guides for hop-ups, CVA dampers, or MIP super ball diffs, and the next, we explore the applied physics and chemistry of why they work. We also uncover the lost RC cultural history of the Golden Age—from the Tamiya-Futaba alliance to the transfer of CRP's business assets to a new entity, Team CRP, or Parma PSE (Parma Speed Experts) International being bought by Mid-America Products.
This is your daily dose of R/C knowledge. No fluff, just the deep dive. We are all about that RC life!
Got a Tamiya question you can't solve? Ask it in the reviews or comments. It might become a future 5-15 minute deep dive. Subscribe now so you don't miss tomorrow's deep dive. It's the perfect anti-fluff way to start your day at the RC hobby workbench.
Be sure to check out our esoteric written word project, ... and the World 🌑
A NOTE ON CLARITY: This podcast is 100% human-researched by lifelong hobbyists. To deliver a crystal-clear, professional-sounding, anti-fluff episode every single day, we use modern AI-assisted production tools for maximum listenability. Our focus is on the knowledge, not the noise.
SPOTIFY LISTENERS: Welcome! Please note that Spotify does not carry our full daily episode archive. For the complete list, searchable back-catalog, please find us on Apple Podcasts, Podbean, YouTube, or any other podcast aggregators via our Linktree https://linktr.ee/rcdeepdive
