🔥 Show #338 – The No Name RC Podcast | Robert Batlle Talks SWorkz, HotRace, Ultimate Racing & More 🔥
In this episode of the No Name RC Podcast, Lefty sits down for a full standalone interview with World Champion Robert Batlle to catch up on everything happening in his racing and business life.
Robert opens up about his first full year with SWorkz as both a driver and team manager, how the brand is growing globally, and what it takes to manage top-level drivers while still racing at the highest level himself. They also dig into car development in both 1/8 and 1/10 scale, including the upcoming SWorkz 2WD buggy and 4WD conversion platform.
The conversation goes deep into HotRace tire development, the massive R&D process behind compounds and tread patterns, and why tires play such a critical role in race performance. Robert also breaks down his Ultimate R36 “Bobby Batlle” nitro engine, focusing on smooth power delivery, long runtime, and real-world race performance.
They also talk about Robert’s 36 Mood webshop, his long-term career plans in RC beyond full-time racing, and how he balances racing, development, business, and family life. The episode wraps with a great discussion on Patreon, content creation, and what it really takes to survive in the RC industry long-term.
This is a real, honest look into what it means to be a modern professional in RC racing — not just on the track, but behind the scenes as well.

Show Title: Mark Santa Maria 3.0 — From Bashing to Racing, Area RC, MSM Series & Growing the Hobby
In this episode, Lefty sits down once again with Mark Santa Maria (MSM) — one of the most influential voices in RC media and the man bridging the gap between bashers and racers. The two dive deep into Mark’s journey as a full-time YouTuber, his brand-new Area RC warehouse project, and how he’s helping newcomers find their way into RC racing through innovative events and creative content.
Mark talks about leaving the IT world to pursue YouTube full-time, the vision behind Area RC — a 5,000 sq ft “RC Fantasy Factory” where fun, accessibility, and creativity come first — and how his MSM Southern Showdown and True Street Drag Series are redefining entry-level RC racing.
They also dig into broader industry topics like burnout, event economics, and the ongoing debate between bashing vs. racing. The conversation highlights how RTR cars, brands like Traxxas, Losi, and Techno, and media creators all play key roles in growing the hobby.
If you love RC, whether it’s nitro, electric, racing, crawling, or bashing in the backyard, this is a must-listen conversation about the passion, grind, and innovation driving the RC world forward.

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.
