Show Title: Mark Santa Maria 3.0 — From Bashing to Racing, Area RC, MSM Series & Growing the Hobby
In this episode, Lefty sits down once again with Mark Santa Maria (MSM) — one of the most influential voices in RC media and the man bridging the gap between bashers and racers. The two dive deep into Mark’s journey as a full-time YouTuber, his brand-new Area RC warehouse project, and how he’s helping newcomers find their way into RC racing through innovative events and creative content.
Mark talks about leaving the IT world to pursue YouTube full-time, the vision behind Area RC — a 5,000 sq ft “RC Fantasy Factory” where fun, accessibility, and creativity come first — and how his MSM Southern Showdown and True Street Drag Series are redefining entry-level RC racing.
They also dig into broader industry topics like burnout, event economics, and the ongoing debate between bashing vs. racing. The conversation highlights how RTR cars, brands like Traxxas, Losi, and Techno, and media creators all play key roles in growing the hobby.
If you love RC, whether it’s nitro, electric, racing, crawling, or bashing in the backyard, this is a must-listen conversation about the passion, grind, and innovation driving the RC world forward.
