Show #350 of The No Name RC Podcast is here! 🎙️
Lefty sits down in person at the JConcepts warehouse with Paul Wynn—national champion, former Schumacher USA team manager, and a key figure behind JConcepts.
Paul shares his journey from 1980s Florida parking lot racing to racing at the World Championships and helping grow JConcepts into a powerhouse in RC. The conversation dives into the golden era of RC, the legendary Associated vs Losi rivalry, touring car and off-road evolution, and how the hobby has shifted from grassroots racing to today’s high-tech scene.
They also break down body design, aerodynamics, tire choice, racer mentality, and what it takes to support top drivers at the highest level.
