Australia's Jeff Hamon (RC Maker) joins Scott to chat ahead of next week's IFMAR ISTC Worldf Champs from Huge R/C in Thailand. The pair talk about the unique demands of the track, the long, long lineup of A-final contendors, and rank the chances of anybody taking down Orlowski and Coelho who surely start favourites. Along the way there's a tour through the RC Maker season with new signing Ronald Volker, and the rise of a deeply competitive Japanese scene. Enjoy!#ifmar#rcracing#hugerc#rcmaker

Its our second episode chatting with Down Under racers heading to the IFMAR 1/8 Offroad Worlds. Today it's a little different as we recorded live in a hotel room in Jakarta after the conclusion of the Asian Buggy Champs race here, and the interference of a little volcano prevented out trip home. The context will help make sense of the chat! Today it's Christian and Martin Wolhuter, and Peter Seckold joining the chat. Enjoy!#ifmar#actionrc#podcast#rcracing#rccars

A few days late but finally home and caught up! Here's our final daily pod from Lap Paradise, including a few reflections on the finals day, and the event as a whole.

Australia's Jarod Ment and Peter Seckold join me to break down a fun Saturday trackside, first day of Mains, or "Eric Samuel Day" as I think of it.Remember this is our first crack at a Daily Pod for a major race. Feedback and suggestions welcome!

Friday, what a day! A very full day as we crammed quali in and somehow dodged the thunderstorms that surrounded Lap Paradise RC Raceway. That meant I ran out of time to record yesterday, so just a quick reflection trackside Saturday morning to update on Friday's key points.

Seeding day, rain interruptions, making speed differently. It's a quick reflection on Thursday's seeding rounds at Lap Paradise RC.

It's an experiment, recording a daily podcast trackside here at the second round of the Asian Buggy Championships. It's raw and unedited, and you can hear the noise of leaf blowers and a brewing thunderstorm in the background. Still it's an interesting chat with Caleb Noble, casting an eye over a few days of open practice, ahead of tomorrow's official start to the event.Stick with us, and we will try to improve audio quality over the next few days.Full live coverage starts Friday at RC Race Media and Scotty Ernst channels.
