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.
