Another company CLOSES! - Scale News Update 343

[@FYRC15]

Merry Christmas from Merritt Island, FL. Thanks for the many years of hard-nose,riveting, and unbiased Scale News reporting.

[@Djkommode]

Do they still use the cop car and fake police dummy on the bridge to Merritt Island?

[@FYRC15]

@ Haha no I have not seen them do that in a long time.

[@Oldmanofmtrc]

Thank you for SNU. Have a Merry Christmas Josh and Nicole

I thought at first that was 2 rolls of TP over his left ear until Josh moved his head. 😂 Happy Christmas Eve!

[@BITTERFLEA]

He’s shooting an episode in the toilet lol

[@TrokaRC]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="402">6:42</a> Ridge racer is rebranded: Yikong YK4073

[@praetor47]

yup, just with a much uglier paint scheme, allegedly "officially licensed" (according to FMSs website), and possibly more questionable electronics (though they have the same specs, the Yikong are officially branded Hobbywing)

[@letsgetitrc]

Merry Christmas, Josh, and rc family 🎄

[@discoveryrc]

Merry Christmas 🎄

[@AsurasWrath164]

The rochobby ridge racer is just a rebranded yikong tb7. But that thing is nothing short of spectacular. You wouldnt believe the build quality of that thing. The plastics and metals are on par or even better than all the established brands. This thing does not need to hide behind a losi sbr 2.0 or a traxxas udr. Its that good!!!

[@boduke9428]

I've been on the fence about getting the TB7. It looks great, I'd say it's better looking than any of the other IFS/solid rear trucks out. The only thing stopping me is that those types aren't the most durable trucks and I already have a SBR 2.0. Do you know if parts support is up to par comparatively? I don't mind stuff breaking as long as it's relatively easy to get parts to fix it.

[@AsurasWrath164]

@boduke9428 no problem to get parts from china or europe if youre willing to wait for shipping. But i wouldnt be concerned about durability. The TB7 and its brother DF7 are built rocksolid. Plastics are awesome and the diffs and/or lockers (you can interchange them) are ginormous!

[@NamelessGlasses]

Having both a UDR and a TB7, the TB7 has some weird gyro work on it so definitely turn that down. Also for whatever reason, the TB7 is locked in front and open in the rear. UDR is definitely the better driving vehicle.

[@BahWeepGranahWeepNiniBong]

Merry Christmas everyone, stay safe out there 🎉

[@Basin79]

Merry Christmas.

[@CCxRC]

Merry Christmas Josh! Thank you for taking the show on the road with you when you travel!

Thanks for the news and all you do. Merry Christmas from SW Ohio!

[@alans4281]

The front axle on the two wheel drive tracker is similar to some old hot rods ( at first glance) .

Merry Christmas from Spring Hill Florida, I hope everyone has a great day with your family

[@cookeemon67]

The tractor is right up my alley! Huge fan! Check out fortschritt rs09.. it's an old tractor that had a swivel seat so bed could be in front or back woth forward and reverse gears the same speed. Super cool tractor and I will absolutely be grabbing one

[@timvanasen9822]

Merry Christmas eve Josh & Nichole wishing you a wonderful holiday with family, thank's for having SNU 😀👍

[@Br0rB]

God jul from Norway, Josh. Hope it's an awesome one. We did dinner, cake, sweets and gifts last night. Dead tired today, but it was a good one. ☺️

[@Sol-hl2rj]

Happy holidays and thanks for even a 1/64 SNU! It does the job 😉

[@rctraildriversuk-lone-wolfvide]

Happy new year to you and your family, have a great one interesting about the CR-12 coming back, it may be on the newer 1/12 ecto chassis and that would make it rather tempting as the old chassis was not with out its problems, but a nice looking body

[@bjmcfarland1]

Josh, Merry Christmas and a happy new year

[@DelightfulDirtBike-fd9xo]

Merry Christmas...

[@Jerroldbubbataylor]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. From 100 mile house British Columbia Canada. Look forward to the news in the new year

Merry Christmas from Keystone Heights FL!

[@michaelhoyle2665]

Merry Christmas Josh. Thanks for all the weekly news updates. HH website says the Proline Class 0 Baja Pros are made in the USA.

[@raymonde.tanneratomic-rc9370]

Happy Holidays

[@thesillypig785]

AC8 at 1/12 scale I can assure you that it is big! They are expensive but expect full metal chassis, transmission and axles, pretty much everything except the body. Probably a sound a light kit in there too. I love my MC8-C!

[@BrettB-n1s]

Did not expect SNU today, thank you and have a great holiday!

[@navyvet88]

Happy Holidays !!

[@odomandr]

I know you enjoy the production to some extent but I prefer this simplistic style of video

[@Nickwillfixit]

I have a Yikong Racing TB07 Ford Bronco R, that the Ridge Racer is on the same platform, the TB07 is a very good drivers vehicle as per the UDR handles better than the UDR a little faster it is based on the Yikong DF07 Trophy Truck but wider rear axle and front suspension arms than the DF07. Liking the look of Bitty designs new UDR body being a big UDR fan. How are the RC companies going to cope with China's countries financial meltdown will we see these companies moving production to other Asian countries or battle through China's collapse hoping that things will improve which I realy doubt will happen the dictator has driven most investers and many manufacturers to close down and returnto country of origan to continue production.

[@The918OBS]

Merry Christmas Josh

[@killa-cotton]

Josh with the fresh cut. Merry Xmas

[@FeralRC]

It blows my mind that the CR12 is coming back. I actually bought a NOS CR12 on eBay a few months back because it's the same style as my 84 F-150 so I had to have it. Maybe I jumped the gun on this a bit.

[@MonsterPartsRc]

The Tamiya Honda City Turbo was the Willys Wheeler and it came out in 1985 it was my first Hobby Grade RC And the KingKong RC was the Sherp with the huge wheels

[@ashleyconnelley1856]

Thanks for sharing

[@barthockerman7103]

I can't wait for the Tamiya Honda City Turbo, I had an incomplete one as a kid that parts were unobtainium.

[@johnyoung9822]

Merry christmas to You and your Family.

[@Random4RC]

Pro-Line branded tires on RTRs will have 'OE' label on sidewall. The replacement parts will be made in USA with compound marker dot.

[@rickwhitman6435]

Merry Christmas to all.

Merry Christmas from Tirol Austria

[@CrawlerRuth]

Thank you for taking time out of your Christmas holiday to do SNU. Merry Christmas, all SNU fans.

[@vinnieland6140]

Merry Christmas 🎄 I'm surprised that more companies don't make a ⅒th scale go karts and quads.

[@chertrocktunnelgarage2171]

Great episode. Merry Christmas from KC. Go Chiefs.

[@GeeShocker]

The tractor looks like it's heavily inspired by a Fendt GT. ☝️

[@BlackSeaRC]

The T-16 is a famous long-standing product from the Kharkov Tractor Plant.

[@allmightygreat1892]

Enjoy your SNU. Thanks for your service to the hobby.

[@the_ghetto_rig]

That sucks about Force! The HPI G3.0 is one of the most reliable sport/basher engines I've ever run.

[@kjflyte5088]

Josh and Nicole have a fun holiday and Christmas..

[@Jmcqueary03]

Well shit. Another one bites the dust. At least you seem to feel better!

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

VS410/H10 Axles conversion kit for Mega Truck status released by VP in 2025 gets my vote. If things don't hit the fan in 2025. Merry Christmas.

[@dedaedriven]

That CR12 got me excited ngl

[@TheDeLeonHobbyGarage]

I foresee that tractor as a new monthly mayhem series entry. Tractor pulling anyone ? Merry Christmas

[@forrestcrabbe]

I hope that city ii comes with a motocompo in the back 🤘wooooooooooooo🤘y'all have a badass Christmas🤘🎄🤘

[@JimmyB55]

You need a Mario hat! The stash finishes the look 😅

[@bbeckers24]

Maybe TA is just putting the Ford body on the Enduro 12 which was an updated cr12.?

[@MichaelWilliams-ei8cr]

Finally some real tires for the mini Mojave 😊😊😊

[@00godlovesus]

The industry is hurting. Kids today don’t care about Rc. Tracks closing everywhere

[@samhicks6309]

Merry Christmas and go chiefs

[@alfredyost7972]

Do you have any idea what is going on with Team Associated? It looks like it is not good.

[@NorthCarolinaRC]

How tall are the Baja pro’s?

[@TheImtoomuch]

Merry Christmas! During the Mini-Z kart segment, you mention Mod RC. Where can I find Mod RC?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

MOD Media I believe is his actual name. It's Matt Olson, formerly of MIP who travels around and does media coverage of events mainly.

[@TheImtoomuch]

@@HarleyDesignsInc thanks.

[@Pauly_______]

Welcome home! Go chiefs! Merry Christmas!

[@Jephph13bREW]

Looks like I'm gonna need a 3rd Tamiya Honda City Turbo 😅

“WHERE WAS THE RTR COUNT DUDE” in a Matt intro voice

[@ryanbrockmiller1648]

DUDE. take that tractor and turn it into a 1\6th scale riding lawnmower. you could make it like those guys that do overlanding on the old lawn tractors.

[@peterGriffin-ug7jv]

the u4 its a copy not new

[@DeadnCold]

how much did you spice up your eggnog there Josh? You seemed to be losing it a bit there at the end..

[@philipthurston7860]

The SHERPA

[@Grunk-ik9os]

I think you accomplished your goal. Not a chance your family members heard your scale news.

[@MonsterPartsRc]

I’ve emailed… haven’t seen anything yet… just as a reminder

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I did see it but it didn’t seem to fit in the theme of new product releases that applied. I should clarify that it’s specifically for new releases as that’s how I usually try and classify “news” with some exceptions.

Hate to be negative, but that Ridge Runner is U.A.F....

[@stevenhood3313]

Every dynamite engine i have seen was made by SH

[@ericzencka2641]

Another great episode, thank you. Merry Christmas. I don’t think you looked in the mirror before filming because you have some sh!t on your hat…

[@chuckcity8]

Rc is hard enough financially, and no one does nitro anymore, it's old and slow in comparison.

[@PonkyKong]

Yikong isnt news. No ones buying. Skip those things
