Action RC ·

2023/04/26

Double World Champ Jared Tebo is back on the show as we continue our extended conversation. This time around we're talking about those two IFMAR World Championship wins in 1/10 offroad, the UK Neo race he came to dominate, and some of the parts of Jared's life that make him who he is. You'll hear an astonishing story about the level of preparation involved for Jared in getting ready for a Worlds campaign, and I also do my best to convince him to saddle up one more time for the 2023 1/10

S2E15: Rick Hohwart

Action RC ·

2023/03/18

There aren't too many R/C racers who've stood on a Worlds podium with a car powered by their own motors and batteries. Rick Hohwart is one such racer. We dive deeply into Rick's career including the Peak Performance story, nerd out on building brushed motors, explore the rise of touring car racing in the US, and dig into a little conspiracy theory around a 1987 World Championship result. We also took at look at the chances of AE returning to the on-road category and do a little

Did he really break-dance in Mike Reedy's hotel room? Did this conversation with 10-time Australian Champion and renowned larrikin Josh Pain go deeply philosophical? These questions and more are answered as dive deep with Josh - national champ in EP offroad, gas truck, touring car and a guy who has raced (and made friends) all around the world.

Emerging Aussie race caller Mitchell Pratt joins me as we run our eyes over the 2023 Australian season for 10th and 8th Offroad. Who's fast, who's changed teams, where are the big races, what's going on overseas?

What does it take to win an IFMAR World Championship? Join us as we chat to a man who knows better than most - two time World Champ Joel "Magic" Johnson. Joel grew up racing 1/12th on-road, came oh-so-close to winning the big one in that category before switching across to off-road in 1987 and nailing it at the first attempt. He'd get it done again, this time on tarmac a few years later in 1992. In this first episode with Joel we work our way from the 70's through to the 90's, taking in local,

2023/01/17

This week we're going inside an R/C race team. We joined Team Associated's Australian team manager Andrew Selvaggi to explore the ins and outs, the whys and hows of an R/C team. What does it mean to the manufacturer to run a race team, how does the Australia team contribute to the factory efforts, how often does Andrew have to read the riot act to his hyper-competitive team drivers, how do the rest of us benefit from the work a team does? It's a fascinating conversation and I hope you enjoy. #rc

Australian legend Luis Sola once described Andrew Cooke as "the most perfectionist racer I know" - and we're going deeeep to find out if that's true. From the origin story in the mid-1980's to the heights of Australian racing, overseas to Kyosho, Tamiya and IFMAR world championships, winning a national championship using a magic "voodoo" button, the one percenters it takes to get everything right, psychological warfare on the race track...and more.
