In the No Name RC Race Recap Show #15 we cover the 2026 1/8th Offroad ROAR Nationals with Max and Lefty! 🔥
We do our usual stuff as we cover the most pressing news in the RC scene and dive deep into the race itself including the infamous track cut incident. You all get to witness an extremely heated argument about the standing of ROAR in the American RC scene which is a bit condensed from the original recording due to Max and Lefty both losing the plot towards the end.
