Interview with the World Champion: David Ronnefak | Presented by Jconcepts

🏆 DAVID RONNEFALK IS THE 2026 IFMAR WORLD CHAMPION! 🌎🔥

The newly crowned 2026 IFMAR 1/8 IC Off-Road World Champion, David Ronnefalk, joins Lefty and Max on The No Name RC Podcast to break down one of the biggest victories of his RC racing career!

Fresh off his incredible win at Thornhill Racing Circuit in Texas, David takes us behind the scenes of his World Championship campaign, from practice and qualifying to the dramatic 60-minute A-Main.

We dive deep into his XRAY buggy setup, HotRace tire choices, shock package, track conditions, and the adjustments that helped him stay competitive throughout the week.

David also talks about battling Davide Ongaro, recovering from a difficult start that dropped him to 8th place, and fighting his way back to claim his second IFMAR World Championship!

And of course, Max finally has to acknowledge David and apologize for doubting him when it comes to the biggest races! 😂

This is a must-listen for RC racing fans who want to understand what it takes to win at the highest level of our sport!
