Action RC

Digging into some recent and upcoming races: ISTC IFMAR Worlds, NZ 8th Offroad Champs, Victorian 8th Offroad Champs, Florida Carpet Champs, Vintage Bash 3.0, IFMAR 200mm IC Touring Worlds and Australian EP Onroad Nationals...plus a couple of other bits and pieces. This podcast is the audio from a Facebook live - head for the Action RC Facebook page for the original video version.

2023 is just about in the books. We joined Mitch (Mitch on the Mic), Tony and Matt (RC Race Media) and a host of special guests for a 3-hour epic season review. We're mainly focussed on Australia for the first 2 hours before Scotty Ernst joins us for a look at the wider world. The show is available in video on our facebook page...but here's the raw, unedited, unadulterated audio for your podcasting pleasure. We're gearing up for a new season on the pod and will be back with you in early 2024. Have a great Christmas and a happy new year.

The 2023 Vintage Bash promises to be one of the race of the year. Luis Sola, Aaron de Fina and Andy Cooke are the guys behind the race and join me to chat all things bash. The race motto? "It's an exhibition, not a competition." Vintage and modern fans alike, join us for some good stories, good times and all the news on this upcoming race. NB: This episode recorded from a live facebook stream, so audio quality may be a little spotty.

The word "Legend" is sometimes over-used...but not in the case of today's guest. One of the UK's all-time greats, widely respected, many Euro and UK Championship wins, a Reedy Race or two, and very nearly a Worlds. Craig's life-long loyalty to Team Associated continues today in his role as head of sales for the company in Europe and he has some interesting thoughts on the current team, and some confessions from yesteryear. There are so many great stories from across his career in this conversation and some fascinating insights into the current and future state of RC. I hope you enjoy as much as I did. We'd love to hear your feedback along the way.

Chris Sturdy has won a ridiculous number of races, including 10 Australian Championships in EP Offroad - marking him as one of the winning-est drivers in Aus RC history - and he's still in his prime. In this conversation, we go deep into the mindset that it takes for Chris to win. There's all the usual exploring of his history, partnership with his dad Gary, a look at the upcoming Worlds from Chris's perspective, and a host more good gear. But it's the stuff about mindset, about confidence, about leaving no stone unturned that is most fascinating. I hope you enjoy!

What's it like to race an RC event with over 1100 entries? We go inside the 2023 Silver State race with Australia's Ben Sterling. It's a deep dive into the event, track, and conditions, and some of the big stories to come out of the race. Hope you enjoy this episode!

He stood on the Worlds podium twice, took Tamiya on the road to a serious assault on the racing scene, won a European Championship in the Schumacher TopCat, helped bring UK racing to the World Stage in the halcyon days of the mid-late 1980s and worked in the industry with name such as HPI, LRP, HongNor and now runs SMD Distribution. He is, of course, the one and only Jamie Booth. Enjoy!
