I was wondering if anyone else watches these two rc shows on tv

Inside RC: on "The Outdoor Channel"

Radio Controled Hobbies: on "The Do It Yourself Network"

The DIY network has been showing reruns for a while now. Most of the ones I've seen lately have been from 2004.

INside R/C is generally on at randm times like 1:30am so ive been recording it. Ive watched about 6 episodes, and ive gotta say they dop a preaty good job, its just that when they talk about planes im bored, so i skip those episodes. The last episode was about 1/5th on-road cars, and it was good, but that and a rock crawling episode have been the only 2 of the 6 epiodes (3 planes 1 boat, 2 car) that ive seen about cars, and im not particualarly interested in rock crawling. It sees like there looking into the less popular segments, i dont know about you but i can defiently say that 1/8th buggy, or 1/10th electric's are much more popular then rock crawling and 1/5th on-road. I understand there trying to show people new segments of the hobby, but it would be great if they could provide coverage of a big national off-road, event. Well See...

I watch both. Even though i'm not into flying i still have an interest in watching it. It's still R/C. The 1/5 scale cars was a good episode though. That girl is cute on the Inside R/C show....

true the inside rc girl is cute, but some of the episodes are boring. they had an episode about rc battle ships, but the only reason i watched it was because it was in savannah, ga, and my sis lives there. the plane episodes do bore, but i watch it cuz it's rc. i seen the 1/5th scale onroad episode and it was good. i haven't seen the other rc show, never even knew about it, but i'll check that one out when i can.

I forget which show it was, but they did a show on rc tanks, they would battle with IR to kill the other ones.

The cool one was the homemade that the guy made with a paintball gun in it. It look like it was three feet long with a fully funtional turret that shot paintballs!

radio control hobbies comes on every tuesday morning
the only thing i dont like about the show is the host + i think its directed towards people just getting into the hobbie
i dont know about inside r/c but im going to tivo it right now

Nitro Fumes

You left out a forth choice "Neither". Because I don't either of those channels so I can't watch them.

That was insidee RC, that was the first edpisode i ever saw, that was cool. I just dont see how Inside Rc keep slooking into the less popular sectors of our hobby. They need to go to 1/10th, or 1/8th races, i dont care whether its on-road, off-road, electric or nitro, i just wanna see some pro racing action.

Is it just me or does it seem like Chris Chianelli is geeked up on something?

SpeedAddict

It's not just you. My friend noticed that it looks like he gets his fingernails manicured. That creeped me out cause it looks like it's true. he just seems too weird. I haven't seen that show in about 4 months. I don't get the channel with inside R/C.

thedub88

Big time geek!! I noticed the finger nails too! I'd respect him more as a RC expert if his finger nails were caked with dirt

Radio Controled Hobbies is for the noob, and it helped me get my nitro up and running. Inside RC is the better of the two, and is more for people that know what they are doing.

If you don't get The Outdoor Channel ask mom to call and order it. They do have real race events that they cover, and have "the insider tip" pit tips that the racers at the events come up with

thedub88

Do you have either of these channels?
The reason I ask is because on Radio Controled Hobbies theres different series ,100, 200 ,300. I don't know what they are, but I had my tivo set to record the show at a certain time and channel. The cable guy came and gave us a knew cable box, but the time and channel changed. It must be different for different cable boxes, so I did a search using the on screan guide untill I found it.

I met Chris at the RCX show. He was cool. We talked for a minute. But, He is short. And those finger nails. Straight guys finger nails should not look like that.

i havent seen radio controlled hobbies for a while. the last one i saw was a seperate mini series about model trains. there is one airplane episode of inside rc that wasnt boring, the dogfight one.
