While this off-season didn’t bring the massive chassis shakeups we’ve seen in the past, there are still major storylines that will shape the 2026 racing year. From driver moves and team changes to tire wars, sponsorship shifts, and the business side of RC, we dig into what really matters—and what it means for racers, brands, and fans moving forward. In this episode, we discuss: • Why this Silly Season was quieter than previous years • The most important chassis and team changes • Major tire market moves and new brand pushes • Dakotah Phend to Matrix and its industry impact • Driver moves across the USA, Europe, and beyond • The economics of RC racing: contracts, support, and sustainability • What to watch heading into the biggest races of 2026 Whether you’re a hardcore racer, industry insider, or longtime RC fan, this episode delivers honest bench racing, insider perspective, and real talk about where the sport is headed.

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.
