Show #331 – The No Name RC Podcast | SOTA Shock Inserts Deep Dive

In this episode, Lefty sits down with Matt Austin from SOTA RC Products to take a deep dive into the innovative SOTA Shock Inserts. These position-sensitive shock systems are changing how racers handle bumps, jumps, and rough tracks.

From the idea sparked during lockdown, through 400+ prototypes and dyno testing, to the final product now being used worldwide—Matt explains everything you need to know about SOTA. We cover how they work, how to tune them with different “pills,” setup examples for smooth and bumpy tracks, oil choices, and why racers are calling it one of the biggest RC suspension upgrades in years.

If you’ve been curious about progressive damping, shock dyno data, or simply want your buggy to handle better, this podcast breaks it all down.
