The RC Newb Podcast - Episode 61: The Comeback Kit

By: Tim Gluth

Ready-to-Run (RTR) R/C models are great when you want to get rolling as fast as possible. Still, there's something to be said for spending time building a model from scratch. After years of RTR dominance, it appears that radio-controlled model kits are making a comeback. In this episode of The RC Newb Podcast, I share a few reasons why building a kit is a great way to get connected to your hobby.

Show notes:
