Best Selling R/C Cars of 2024

[@small.and.even.smaller]

I'm not at all surprised that the Arrma Mojave Grom is second. Mine survived a heavy bashing unscathed, a few head-on crashes under full throttle, and apart from a few scratches, it's perfectly fine. Arrma is still making a good name for itself.

[@donniemarks94]

I have one and love it

[@username102490]

Mine broke the first day on a dirt track. Apparently, the motor just sucks in the dirt and breaks according to my local hobby store that makes almost the same amount of money on replacement motors as they do selling the truck 😢

[@njsardo]

The Mojave Grom is consistently the rc I first reach for. Love these trucks for their scale feel, clip-less bodies, and just fast enough out of the box.

[@chrisginoc]

Same here. So much fun that I bought both colors.

[@Sharp-Survival]

I agree but for me it's the Typhon grom

[@dynamic2336]

have not gotten the Mojave yet by my Typhon grom is a blast

[@chrisginoc]

@@Sharp-Survival I only didn’t get a Typhon Grom because I already have a Typhon 3s. I wanted to try the truck and it’s been so much fun

The UDR is so unique, totally different style of driving, love mine

[@valkyrievillage3673]

Traxxas be slippin

[@NiklasAdv]

Probably due to their overpriced stuff, people just buy better and cheaper stuff as we can see on this list

[@boduke9428]

Just imagine how bad a beat down it'd be if Horizon and tower didn't exist and Amain was the only big box store for the Horizon brands. I can't believe the UDR outsold anything though. It's a great truck but it's been out and unchanged for 34 years now.

I’ve been sleepin on these crawlers! I bought a trxm4 and I love it! The need for going over things is real!

[@allmightygreat1892]

@@Backupplan94 try 2 speed by traxxas. It improves slow constant high torque crawl and increase top speed greatly. No need for high cost brushless. Got 2. Enjoy this truck . We can buy parts for this truck from our lhs.

[@mikes062]

I guess I don’t know how it’ll sell long term but I’m guessing the new Mini Maxx is going to sell like crazy! It’s just barely bigger than the 1/16 erevo and should be a lot more durable! $250 with a battery and charger is really going to help it too! My LHS said he’s already got almost 50 pre orders! It’s cool they made it with the 1/10 drivetrain too!

[@5280Recreation]

Crawlers don’t really interest me too much, but I wonder if it’s similar to why minis are so hot. Easy for people to just grab, go outside and drive or setup something in the basement. No need for lots of space.

[@SebastianLong]

100% the reason. People became accustomed to being inside from covid and many have not recovered from it both financially and physically. Id be very surprised if it keeps up for another 4 years.

[@tommythekat6992]

It's not just that but it also gets you out of the house and into nature. Give you a reason to go on hikes. Plus they are super tough. My trx4 fell probably 60ft down a mountain catch all types of air and didn't break a single thing. Man that fall took foreeeever. Like solid 10 second of watching this thing bang and bouncing off lava rock.

[@annon1731]

It’s a very peaceful way to do some rc.

[@dylanwhite6539]

I used to feel the same, but once you really get a good spot with a crawler it just sorta clicks. I would easily recommend the brushless redcat because that fusion esc motor combo is massive improvement from the brushed RTR systems

[@LawrenceTimme]

Yes I find mini cars and crawlers boring.

[@Casitascrawlers]

We are so lucky the hobby is so good right now everytime I'm out i just have a blast & think to myself wow RC's are so good.

[@whodis9979]

What surprised me was the number of build kits. Growing up, this was basically the only option, of course many of the kits were re-releases of cars I loved back in the late 80's. If I had the money, every one of those kits would be in my collection plus others

[@GeddyRC]

I rarely rush to a video as fast as a new one by AMain! This year my favorite car has been the Typhon Grom. The whole lineup is just awesome.

[@flyfalcons]

It is a ton of fun for the dollar. 4WD and a 380 motor are definitely the ticket for this size.

[@PSF_RC-PatSmageFilms]

That was interesting to watch, nice video! Definitely surprised by #1 but cool to it’s hear how popular that kind of truck is.

[@ovidiocorchero2795]

Crawlers and minis are taking over. A mini udr would be on my wishlist

[@TheRCBuildersPost]

Nice! Made it on the video 😂. Thanks for the list! I mostly do a lot of crawling but I figured a basher would be #1!

[@Stay-vigilant]

I'm hoping for great cyber Monday/black Friday deals from amain this year 🤞

[@davidillescas2840]

No FMS?…. don't joke the Best Rc of the 2024 is the FMS FCX24M… for me the Discovery it’s so gorgeous!

[@knotical689]

Great to see a number of kits on here, especially the Tekno. Vanquish seems to be killing it as well

[@johnr2391]

i love the receiver flying out of the white cartwheeling truck. 😂

[@takalakjones3248]

Mojave Grom FTW straight up best backyard track ripper for the money. Steel up the drivetrain and brushless will deliver endless smiles. I bought 3 and want three more.

[@pitchpines3851]

Awesome to see what is selling the best. Thanks for the great video!

[@FatherandSon_RC]

This list is an interesting gauge of where the interests lie sprinkled with who is really smashing it with new products. And certain classics reign supreme with the UDR and the 6s Kraton- the Kraton might bump up a few slots with that new V6!

[@stevenpaulin448]

How did the Maxx, and the Kraton / Outcast 4S not make this list?

[@michaelsalice9952]

It also depends where you live, the hobby stores in NY where I live sell a ton of Traxxas.

[@Diaszurana]

2024 has been my personal "Year of the Minis." The sub 12th scale has been killin' it this year

[@CDRaff]

I just moved to a much smaller place and right in time for the micro revolution. The MicroB and Mojave GROM both look really awesome. Going to pick them up ASAP.

[@earthcoloredeyes5043]

I’m surprised traxxas hasn’t made a 4x4 buggy, Arrma has the Typhon and it’s great. Maybe just like my suggestion of the mini Maxx four years ago they will make a buggy with four wheel drive. Actually Kev Talbot gave me the idea of a small scale Maxx😂

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

Electric Jato 4x4 is coming, let’s hope they don’t mess up the new model

[@samuelgentry4125]

If your talking small 1/18 scale they already do with latrax

[@earthcoloredeyes5043]

@@samuelgentry4125 they have the bandit but it’s not 4x4. Trophy truck are fun no doubt, but say like the typhon doesn’t traction roll so much as the trophy trucks do. Traxxas is missing out on a huge market for some reason. Pro racing loves the buggies.

[@VS666]

UDR has no business being a Traxxas, I’d mistake a scale truck like that for a Losi 😂

Surprised by how many crawlers. Very interesting list overall

[@romojon6557]

I can't believe it either... don't see the hype in them to be honest

[@MyKonaRC]

Nice to see AXIAL's grand kids are #1 seller!

[@cancelthefuture]

What's the ranking methodology here? Like most sold versus stocked or most sold overall? I have hard time believing VRD outsold most of the other cars on here.

[@rgr4475]

@@cancelthefuture Seemed from the way he was speaking it's overall units of each RC sold. He mentioned more than once if they had more to sell, that particular RC would move up the list. So my guess is total units.

[@boduke9428]

Or the UDR. It's great and all but it's old now and 2 better mojave trucks exist.

[@aaroncarr5725]

@@boduke9428It’s hard to find an UDR in hobby shops. They are shelf poison. So people turn to Amain for things that are hard to find in locally. All that vintage and niche things don’t sell much.

[@Glocktologist]

The methodology seems like the absolute number of units sold, but it seems odd to me how high some serious racing kits placed. It could also be the dollar value of the sales. In that case, the ”it would place higher if we had more in stock” would still apply. That would explain why expensive kits are so high on the list.

[@ralphhowing3473]

The Tamiya BBX is an awesome kit, how ever it has NO electronics included but has full ball bearings and hex hardware plus the suspension is second to none!!!!!!

[@jamesblankenship9373]

Thank you for making this list!!

[@V8chump]

The losi tenacity should be on this list. Assuming they have the parts is stock (CMON LOSI) it’s soooooo amazing. I have so many spares just for when I need them a decade down the road, thing never breaks and killllls the track while being a great desert truck

[@clearstream67]

Bought the Optima Mid 60th and the SCT410 2.0 this spring. Both are awesome. Guess I need to get a crawler...

[@mathewwillis5513]

[@ARRC9]

[@michaelyolch79]

I'd love to know the numbers in total domestic sales from ALL retailers combined. For example, just how many Aarma Mojaves were sold TOTAL? 1,500? 6,000? 12,300? I have no idea what the scale of RC sales is.

[@johngrant1337]

great video, thanks

[@HoundStuff]

Cool to see, thanks!

[@DonnyMcElhiney]

Digging your videos! Thank you!

[@alantaylor353]

The thing is, a lot of these RCs have just had updated or brushless versions released... So while they've been good sellers so far this year, they're unlikely to sell so well going forward. Incidentally, it's mostly Arrma with their updated Kraton 6S & their brushless Groms.

[@Tobashadow]

Vanquish throwing multiple on the list, might have to start looking at them.

[@Soysaucerc]

Thought it would be the micro b for sure. Good video.

[@joewood306]

I wonder how the Tamiya TT02 platform is doing if you left out all the different body types; after all they are all the same besides the polycarbonate on top...

[@technicaljatt3523]

I upgraded my wltoys 12428 to brushless system 3900 kv motor with 43 amp esc. . I don't know why it started stuttering when i press throttle if i push the car a little bit it works fine .. and it goes to full speed but it makes stuttering if it is in neutral position

Right? If Amain was selling these, they'd definitely be placing in the top 10. The Carbon version for around $200 has WAY more standard features and value than similar vehicles, very durable, and seriously good handling. I'm really happy with mine. It's going to destroy the new Mini Emaxx when Traxxas releases it. The Terminator is faster, 2 and 3s, center diff, sway bars, metal shock bodies and chassis, and WAAAY better radio.
