This month, I'm joined by Fil ( @poorboysrc  ) and Mark ( @MarkBryanRC  ) to dive into a massive wave of RC news, controversial releases, and the official kickoff of the 2026 Speedrun Challenge.We break down the latest Tamiya releases, including the Ford F-150 (SRB chassis), the worldwide launch of the Lunchbox Evo, and the upcoming Nissan R91CP.
