In this episode of the Off-Road Racer Podcast, I sit down with vehicle fabricator and Trophykart founder Nestor Beradi. We start the episode talking about Trophykart and its origins, how the first karts were built, and how they opened the door for youth racing. We then talk about Nestor's introduction to off-road vehicle building, originally starting with aircraft and RC car fabrication. Coming to the present, Nestor talks about his most recent venture, Xtravel suspension, a new 5-link suspension system that has distinct advantages over the traditional A-arm system. I'm your host Matt Martelli, and this IS the Off-Road Racer Podcast.
In this episode of the Off-Road Racer Podcast, I sit down with off-road vehicle fabricator and designer Morgan Clark. Morgan stands out in the fabrication scene because of his dedication to a supercar level of design finish work in his vehicles, stemming from his ‘form follows function' philosophy. We talk about how he came to embody this philosophy, originally studying design, working through the fabrication industry, and eventually starting his own business. Morgan and I then dive into the importance of aesthetics in a vehicle, often seen in street cars, but often lost in off-road builds. Morgan then gives us some insight into his design process, and where he gets his inspiration. We also discuss how the art of design has progressed into the modern era, with computers taking over most of the design process, and lowering the barrier of entry for new designers and fabricators. Looking forward, Morgan talks about his future plans and builds, including a mid-engine, AWD Prerunner. I'm your host Matt Martelli, and this IS the Off-Road Racer Podcast.

A quick look at the classifieds on Race Dezert brought them to a red Ford Ranger for sale In California. We get into what it was like buying a truck from California and how they got it back to Michigan. Once it was back in Michigan the process of changing and building the project into something of their own they soon realized had only just begun.

Första semesteravsnittet! Nummer 18. Vi poddar från bilen när vi möts upp på mellersta Gotland. Vi inleder med en djupdykning i våra respektive Bucket Lists. Krick vill flyga i öknen med sin Prerunner och glampa, medan Ponkan vill köra Nascar. Mitt i denna diskussion kommer vi in på episka film-break när musiken tar över. Det blir Days of Thunder, Top Gun, Rocky och Heat nostalgi! Plötsligt minns Krick hur han ville ta värvning i US Army tack vare en överdrivet patriotisk för-show på ett Nascarlopp uppe på Watkins Glen Raceway. Vi fortsätter med en sladdrig analys om vad som hände med limousinerna. Varför blev det lyxiga VD-transportmedlet plötsligt en möhippetransport? Vi rundar ev med lite prat om amerikanska bussar. Häng med!
