Yes yes yes indeed! Nitro is the glory but Ebuggy pays the bills!

In this episode of the No Name RC Podcast, Lefty, Max & Pekko sit down to geek out over the 2026 IFMAR Worlds Warm-Up Race from Thornhill Raceway in Texas! The boys break down Davide Ongaro’s domination, Ryan Maifield’s charge through the field, Matty Polito’s impressive pace, and what this race really means heading into the Worlds later this year.

The conversation gets heated as the crew dives deep into the tire sauce controversy, IFMAR’s enforcement plans, and whether the Worlds Warm-Up was actually useful for the top drivers. They also compare American, European, and Asian track styles, discuss setup philosophies, fuel mileage strategy, and what it’s truly going to take to beat Ongaro at the Worlds.

Plus plenty of classic NNRC bench racing, RC industry talk, laughs, tangents, and chaos along the way!

Thank you to all of our sponsors, patrons, YouTube members, and listeners for the continued support of the NNRC.

In this episode of the No Name RC Podcast, Lefty is joined by Jussi Luopajärvi, the creator of TestLogger, to break down how data logging, telemetry, and analysis can help RC racers improve lap times, consistency, and car setup.

Jussi shares how TestLogger was inspired by full-scale motorsports, how racers can use data to better understand their driving and vehicle behavior, and why structured testing is becoming the future of RC racing.

We also talk about the evolution of RC technology, lessons from professional motorsports, and how tools like TestLogger can benefit racers at every level — from club racers to top competitors.

If you’re into RC performance, tuning, and getting faster through smarter driving, this episode is a must-listen.

The first recorded episode of 2026 is here, and Lefty & Max are breaking down everything that happened during this year’s RC Racing Silly Season.

While this off-season didn’t bring the massive chassis shakeups we’ve seen in the past, there are still major storylines that will shape the 2026 racing year. From driver moves and team changes to tire wars, sponsorship shifts, and the business side of RC, we dig into what really matters—and what it means for racers, brands, and fans moving forward.

In this episode, we discuss:

Whether you’re a hardcore racer, industry insider, or longtime RC fan, this episode delivers honest bench racing, insider perspective, and real talk about where the sport is headed.

Nitro is the glory… but E-Buggy pays the bills.
