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

  • The Future of R/C: The Shrinking Size and Weight of Radio Transmitters
    Jul 27 2026

    In the last year or so two things have been happening concurrently: more radio control car, buggy, truck, van, jeep, and bus drivers have been switching to stick style R/C radio transmitters along with the shrinking of the size and weight of those stick style radio controllers. In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we review the Flysky ST-16 and discuss the exciting future path that it, and it's competitors are all headed towards.

  • HOW-TO: Relieve Neck Pain From R/C Radio Transmitter Straps
    Jul 26 2026

    Stick style R/C radio transmitters require a neck strap to help hold it in place and have less stress on your hands and fingers. However the standard lanyard is simply not comfortable enough nor does it adequately spread the load. In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we show you how using a neck-strap from the musical world of woodwind instruments like the saxophone instead of the radio control model vehicle hobbyist world can both alleviate the neck pain and headaches from a simple thin lanyard.

  • The Biomechanical Ergonomics of Different Radio Transmitter Types
    Jul 25 2026

    We've discussed the sticks vs. pistol grip R/C radio transmitters before, but this time we go into your anatomy and give you the biomechanics and ergonomics of using each type of transmitter, scientifically how each affects your body's tissues and how you can possibly alleviate this damage that can be caused by them. You might be surprised which radio control transmitter design is more ergonomically and biomechanically superior in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast.

I've learned so much about radio controlled model vehicles, their history, their cultural connections, how to fix them, upgrade them, and more. Unfortunately, Audible stopped updating this podcast, even though all other Podcast apps still update with the latest episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast every day even for paid members.

Great Podcast, Just Not on Audible
