This is our very first mailbag episode, hopefully there will be more to come. I got the idea from the hugely popular mailbag segment on the eevblog (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRiadnjyBdo) where Dave Jones does some fantastic electronics reviews. The idea is that viewers send us along items they think will help expand the RC tractors community knowledge base. As an example if you have made some sort of screw mechanism for a scale dump trailer and you want me to show how it works in a video so that other RC Tractors viewers learn something. You can just send it along with a message explaining what you want me to show in the video and I'll do it. Alternatively if you are a company who manufactures or sells products that could be of use to viewers and you want to show people how to use them then you can do the same, don't forget to include a message. And if you have a blog, website, maker space or anything like that, send the web address too and I'll include the link in the video. Postcards telling us a bit about your maker space or group are welcome too.

This time we have recieved products from a company called IC Station who wanted me to do a review of their products so you can see the items here and in the next few days I'll finish the review videos and blog posts which will include all the code you need to do everything I do in the videos.
