The first recorded podcast of 2026 is here, and Lefty & Max are diving deep into one of the most talked-about topics in RC Racing… Silly Season.

This year may not have delivered the massive chassis shakeups we’ve seen in the past, but don’t be fooled—there are still major storylines unfolding. From driver moves and team changes to tire wars, sponsorship shifts, and industry trends, we break it all down and explain what it means for racers, brands, and fans heading into the 2026 season.

In this episode, we cover:
👉 The biggest (and quietest) Silly Season in recent years
👉 Key chassis moves in 1/8 & 1/10 scale
👉 Major tire market shifts and the rise of new contenders
👉 Dakotah Pend to Matrix and what it means for the future
👉 Driver changes across Europe, the USA, and beyond
👉 The business side of RC racing—contracts, sponsorships & sustainability
👉 What to expect at the biggest races of 2026

Whether you’re a hardcore racer, industry insider, or lifelong RC fan, this episode is packed with insights, opinions, and honest bench racing from the NNRC crew.

🔥 Nitro is the glory… but E-Buggy pays the bills.
