The No Name RC Podcast

The GOAT era begins! 🐐🏆 In Part #10 of our history of the 1/8th Off-Road IFMAR World Championships, Lefty and longtime Kyosho legend Mic Cradock explore Davide Ongaro’s historic run from 2018 to the present day. They revisit Ongaro’s breakthrough victory in Australia, the controversial post-race gyro inspection, and the unforgettable 2022 battle against David Ronnefalk at Redován. The conversation then moves to the 2024 Worlds, where Ongaro became the first driver to win three consecutive IFMAR 1/8th Off-Road World Championships. Lefty and Mic also preview the upcoming Worlds at Thornhill Racing Circuit, examine the European and American drivers capable of challenging Ongaro, remember Derek Furutani, and discuss Mic’s collection of unseen RC racing footage from the 1990s. Can Davide Ongaro extend his historic streak, or will a new World Champion emerge in Texas?

In this episode of the Story of a World Champion series, Lefty sits down with 2012 IFMAR 1/8 Off-Road World Champion Robert Batlle to tell the full story of his unforgettable championship run in Argentina. Robert takes us back to his first World Championship as a 14-year-old in 2002 and the journey that eventually led him to the top of RC racing. He shares the incredible story of winning the 2012 Worlds Warm-Up with the Mugen MBX6—only to be told just one month before the World Championship that he had to race the brand-new MBX7. With rain limiting testing in Spain, Robert and his team drove thousands of kilometers across Europe chasing dry tracks, even using headlights from full-size cars to continue testing after dark. Robert breaks down the tire and setup decisions that helped him survive the brutally rough Argentina track, his battle with Ty Tessmann, his patient strategy during the 60-minute final, and the emotional final lap when he realized he was about to become World Champion. We also talk about his $20,000 Worlds-winning bonus, the promise that resulted in him buying Mugen kits for the friends who helped him prepare, how becoming World Champion changed his career, and his thoughts heading into the 2026 IFMAR World Championship in Texas. This is Robert Batlle: 76 Laps to Glory—the story behind one of RC racing’s most memorable World Championship victories.

Daniel came over from Norway for his first INS race and left with wins in both 2WD and 4WD Mod after a brutal weekend on one of the toughest carpet tracks we have seen. The RC One layout had concrete walls, a tricky quad jump, changing track conditions, and plenty of carnage, but Daniel managed the chaos and came out on top.   In this episode, we talk about his wins, the battle with Taylor Sontag, Brennan Schimmel’s speed, the Schumacher team effort, European vs American track styles, and what makes RC One such a unique challenge. Huge thanks to Daniel for coming on and sharing his thoughts after a massive weekend for him and the Schumacher team. ☕ Buy Your Host, Lefty, a Coffee! Enjoying the content?

Daniel came over from Norway for his first INS race and left with wins in both 2WD and 4WD Mod after a brutal weekend on one of the toughest carpet tracks we have seen. The RC One layout had concrete walls, a tricky quad jump, changing track conditions, and plenty of carnage, but Daniel managed the chaos and came out on top. In this episode, we talk about his wins, the battle with Tater Sontag, Brennan Schimmel’s speed, the Schumacher team effort, European vs American track styles, and what makes RC One such a unique challenge. Huge thanks to Daniel for coming on and sharing his thoughts after a massive weekend for him and the Schumacher team. Can Daniel carry this momentum into Round #3?

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. #NNRC #RCRacing #IFMAR #NitroBuggy #RCPodcast

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: • Why this Silly Season was quieter than previous years • The most important chassis and team changes • Major tire market moves and new brand pushes • Dakotah Phend to Matrix and its industry impact • Driver moves across the USA, Europe, and beyond • The economics of RC racing: contracts, support, and sustainability • What to watch heading into the biggest races of 2026 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.
