    Off the Ledge w/ Jarrod Whitledge - RC Dirt Oval

    This week on RC Underground Radio, we talk with Jarrod Whitledge—an engineer by trade, accomplished big-car racer, hardcore RC dirt racing enthusiast, and the creative mind behind some seriously badass RC dirt late model cars. Jarrod brings a unique perspective to the RC world, combining real-world engineering knowledge with years of racing experience behind the wheel of big cars and a passion for making RC dirt late models perform at the highest level. We dig into his transition between full-size racing and RC, the engineering and design philosophy behind his cars, and what it takes to make an RC dirt late model look right, handle right, and absolutely rip around the track. We’ll talk dirt racing, chassis design, suspension geometry, setup, fabrication, racing full-size cars, the evolution of RC late models, and the insane attention to detail that goes into building these machines. Whether you're a serious RC dirt racer, a late model fan, a builder, or just someone who appreciates beautifully engineered race cars, this is an episode you don't want to miss. Real racing. Real engineering. Real dirt. No shortcuts. This is RC Underground Radio—and we're getting dirty with Jarrod Whitledge.
