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?

Lefty and longtime Kyosho legend Mic Cradock continue their journey through the history of the 1/8 Off-Road IFMAR World Championships.
This episode covers Ty Tessmann’s dominant 2014 championship victory in Sicily, Ryan Mayfield’s costly crash and the fuel controversy surrounding the event.
Then we move to Las Vegas in 2016, where Mic shares Elliott Boots’ setup struggles, the tire decision that ended his challenge and the controversial moments involving Tessmann and Ryan Cavalieri. The episode concludes with David Ronnefalk defeating his HB teammate Tessmann to become the 2016 IFMAR World Champion—and a young Davide Ongaro making his first Worlds final.

Then it’s time for some RC Silly Season talk 👀, including Ryan Lutz and Max dropping one of the strangest clues we’ve had on the show: “The chicken could be listening to house.” 😂
We also break down the latest racing from around the world, including Elliott Boots winning his 10th British Nitro National Championship, FEMCA racing in Indonesia, ETS and Michal Orlowski.
Finally, Max gets to geek out as we dive into the latest RC news, cars and technology, including SWORKz updates, Genius Racing, new motor cooling ideas, the RC Maker SP2, Yokomo MS2.1 and Thomas Tran joining Yokomo.

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.
Thank you for listening and supporting The No Name RC Podcast.
