Ep 206: Inside the 2026 Toledo R/C Swap Meet & Expo with Hank Rauhaus
About this episode
In this episode, we sit down once again with Hank Rauhaus, the man behind the Toledo R/C Swap Meet & Expo, to get an inside look at what’s new for 2026. Hank shares how the event has evolved since last year, the behind‑the‑scenes work that keeps a 700‑plus‑table swap meet running smoothly, and the trends he’s seeing across the hobby. We talk vendors, volunteers, rare finds, and the static contest, along with some other fun things thrown in. Whether you’re a first‑time attendee or a Toledo regular, this conversation offers a fun and informative look at one of the Midwest’s biggest R/C traditions.
