Who will survive? - Scale News Update 344

[@17madracki17]

This is actually the only news I watch. And I think anyone needs.

[@DEENRC]

🤣 me to ..I really look forward to it..👍

[@Bonurges]

Same and fully agree

[@DadsRCGaragePNW]

Thank you to whoever gave me a Membership!!! Thank you VERY MUCH!!!!

[@kunkmiceter]

I'd like one too. 😢

[@Noone-zd8lw]

Badass! This is why I love our group!

[@GeorgiaBoyRC]

Thank you for the Scale News Update! My RC resolution is to have more drive time with my RCs!

[@shawnthomas444]

2025 I want to get outside and play more with my builds

[@Nordlicht05]

same goal. Do something with it.

[@FeralRC]

CrossRC Emo X3 is a wrecker with a bullnose Ford cab just like the X5. The X5 looks more like an off-road recovery plus the brushless system in RTR is pretty sweet. Our X3 can hook and tow all our weighted 10th scale crawlers no problem. We're about to put an Axe system in it for FOC and, well, some nice OOMPH. We love it!

[@MK-FreedomUSA]

My hope is for all to have a Great Scale News Year! Let the R/C gods bless us with amazing new models in 2025 that meet and exceed all our wants and needs. Oh and health, wealth and all that stuff.

[@walthersonr.c.3360]

Brother thank you for the news for 2024 , I can not wait to see what 2025 and you bring to the world of RC

[@hotboyracing]

My New Year’s resolution for rc is to keep the rc room clean, I made it spotless last week and hoping to continue it!!

[@Mike_and_Life]

Resolution: quality over quantity and thin out my collection. Happy New Year! Safe travels!

[@Bonurges]

Same!

[@churro762]

my RC resolution is to do kits more than RTRs. I start to realize that I buy these RTRs and end up swapping virtually everything stock out of it... And in theory, it'll keep me from buying so many in one year.

[@joshfowler197]

As always, thank you for the scale news. It's one of the episodes I watch every week without fail

[@Andy_C_aka_Cliff_McCrawl]

Relax Bigger Stronger More realistic Warm Love

[@alfredyost7972]

I was not aware of what is happening at Team Losi. I had heard things about Team Associated. I do not have any connections with either company. Thoughts?

[@ninthislandrc]

New Year's resolutions...the things we "make" every year, and "break" within a few months (some don't even last a few weeks). So, a few years ago, that's all the problems related to the pandemic we're starting to wind down, I made a New Year's resolution not to make any more New Year's resolutions...and, here I am, 4 years later, and it's the one resolution I've never broken.

[@TrailJero]

Thank you for doing this news. It gives me a possibility to follow this hobby on another level. As for you question about new year resolution i think I will try to finish some of my projects instead of continuing buying now ones. No garanti though! Thank you for this year and happy new year to you!

[@QuinnsRC]

Thanks for a great year of Scale News, and keeping it alive as painful as it is LOL. My RC related New Year's resolution is to start making videos for my channel like I mean it.

[@jacobariss9700]

Build a kit, attend an rc event, happy new year!!

[@PhoenixRCCrawler]

My New Years RC resolution is to rotate my tires more than Matt. Gonna be tough but I think I can pull it off.

[@hjwitherow]

My new years resolution is to get all my rc's put back together and running

[@surfaceenergy]

2:00 I would love to see a classic Grand Wagoneer body to match up with that retro Patrol. Which is semi-ironic with your thoughts on Rlaarlo, since both Stellantis and Nissan might not be around much longer either.

[@boduke9428]

I've heard rumors that Nissan and Honda may be merging. If so that'll be a pretty big deal in the real car world.

[@maxpower4961]

my NYR- Construct a backyard trail/crawler course for my personal "Smiggin's Folly". Been collecting mtn stone for a bit now....

[@Sol-hl2rj]

Thanks for 2024, and a happy new year!

[@leestewart5424]

Definitely get out an RC more in 2025 is my resolution Great to see 🇺🇲 is still on the Pro Line tires Happy New Year Thanks for the videos

[@gheorgheoltean4467]

Happy new year!!! Thank you for SNU!!!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

My resolution, build two optics. One on leaf springs for Josh and one stock

[@ricardobocanegra7352]

Happy New Year my friend!! Thank You for all you do to make RC fun!!!!

[@joshfowler197]

I want to get into rwd rc drifting. I've been interested for years, but the redcat is on sale and figured it would be a good starting point

[@TPDazzle]

Happy New Year! This year I hope to finally set up a paint booth for my airbrush and finish a half done cabinet scale garage.

[@nolansmith571]

I have seen with my own two eyes the US stock of cross rc parts and kits/rtr's It's a lot. Plenty to go around the small cross community in the US.

[@shuster1921]

🥳Have a Merry New Year Joshua🥳

[@CrawlerRuth]

Happy New Year, Josh. My RC goals for 2025 are 1) Complete the 200-mile RC Challenge. 2) Make it to both Axialfest West and Pro-Line by the Fire. 3) Get an Optic kit and build it. Even though I should be saving money up for the for the Ripper II.

[@Cooldibs]

Make a video addressing the HD44 issue. You can’t ignore it, it’s all over the vanquish products fan page group

[@allmightygreat1892]

Retire to a southern warm free red state to drive and fly rc every day during good weather. Finished dealing with the 5 months of winter.

[@guest6423]

My resolution: Follow along as Josh leaves Vanquish to start his own company, along with some other well-known industry movers and shakers. It'll be fun to see what they do... unless it's behind a paywall, in which case I won't see any of it.

[@hyperc5249]

I like the updates and corrections portion. Great addition to the news. 2024 was a great year in RC. I'm looking forward to 2025 and the weekly news updates their in. New years RC resolution 2025. To hit 10,000 subs. I just hit my 2024 goal of 5,000. I am also broadening my RC hobby. I love to crawl and bash. I started drifting in 2024 as well. Which has been challenging and fun. But now I am also going back to my roots and racing 10th scale buggies again. So, more RC in 2025. LOL, if that's actually possible because there are only so many hours in a week.

[@ellc.6143]

I don't know man, RRALARO is doing it's diligence! There cars trucks are of pretty good quality 👌🏼, prices are on point. There RC'S are durable. I like them. The only issues I have is thay haven't done an actual 10th scale basher truck. Besides that I think the company is doing very well.

[@jamesjenik9591]

After your last episode, I went out and got the HPI Venture 18. It's a beautiful truck, and I took it out this weekend. It runs great, and the outrunner is smooth, but it is balanced 50/50. So, my resolution is to fine-tune it with no hop-up parts available, 😅

[@TrokaRC]

Sick platform, if anyone wants to overdrive the front: rcawd hobbyplus cr18 ring and pinion 13t/26t will work gives 33% if im not wrong.

[@patricesavard366]

I'm curious about that tractor stuff as well! Since I moved, ny truck have been mostly taking dust... There nothing but corn fields around here, those lesu tractors are way out of my range, I hope they will have some implements with it! Happy new year!

[@ellc.6143]

I want one i love short course trucks, especially when there built like the real ones. They look so good when there out sliding and jumping super realistic. With that said, don't really care that it's rebranded. Yikong did a really good job with the design and build of that truck. It's a good scale basher.

[@leterbuck7049]

Finish building my rc pulling track and have the first event in southern Wisconsin

[@nuge74]

Thank you for another year of the best news weekly summary! All the best in 2025😊 New Year’s resolution is to get my current WIP RC builds completed lol

[@AnySumptionBanter]

Respect and impressed making these on these days and u on the road

[@kevincain6843]

One of the RLARRLO's staff gave us that preview on FB group. I do like the body.

[@BeauLeonard]

I heard in a Roach RC video that TLR drivers have been leaving for other brands recently. It was assumed that they were leaving because the 22 5.0 isn’t as up to date as the competition but maybe they were all leaving because internally they already knew that the racing program was ending.

[@MrAlexp87]

Thanks for another year of the news! My rc resolution for this year is to try something new. I've been wanting to try out rc airplanes.

[@dudeonther1978]

Thank you for what you do. I look forward to Tuesdays

[@crawlerballer]

Been watching SNU every Tuesday for several years now… thank you for the great content, and happy New Year!

[@MrJdspecial1]

Happy new year. Thank you for SNU and all you do for the hobby!

[@onereed333]

1. Cross RC DID already have an 8th scale wrecker listed. .... you covered it last year. 2. Less already has those tractors, AND others. Check them out. Pricey, too. 3. Rc4wd also just released aluminum bed for Phoenix. 4. Made in USA, BABY!! lol 5. I resolve to watch every episode of SNU & Livestream Takeover. ..... Easy peezy.

[@bberry8280]

The cross rc wrecker is different then the one they released. Main thing I can see is the beds are different

[@MrBigruss1988]

​@@bberry8280 the x3 and x5 have different bodies front to back.

[@bberry8280]

@MrBigruss1988 if you look at the pictures the cabs are the same. I have a x3 I would get the x5 but I don't care for the look of the wrecker bed

[@onereed333]

LESU

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Was that an orb on the right at 10:50? 👻 I’m hoping to get back on SBG and start posting build threads again. Thank you Josh for putting out news that doesn’t make us want to throw things or yell at the TV. Wishing you a great 2025.

[@spencertidd]

CrossRC does have a 4wheel wrecker already, it's on the X3 chassis. I hope they offer the X5 in a kit!

[@mikeboncheck5555]

Gerat RC NEWS Channel.....Keep up the great work. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

[@mikiejheyhey]

Happy New Year Josh.

[@TurbochargedHobbies]

Hope you had a safe trip home. I want to film more content next year. Wishing you and your family a happy new year

[@bucksrcworld8119]

Happy new year and thanks for bringing us the Scale News Update.

[@plukensteinpaint]

To thin down my collection to the trucks that I actually use would be my New Year’s resolution, and although it may not be popular, but to spend less on accessories, I don’t actually end up using.

[@tomlucasrccrawlers9108]

Cross RC Emo X3 was the first Wrecker. It's a much bigger TRX4. With inconvenient changes that makes it a lengthier time to work on, but it's a great rig. I have ond.

[@johnyoung9822]

Happy New year to you and your family

[@Plumbdogmillionaireflow]

More playing with my rigs this year!!🎉🎉🎉 have a good new year. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@savagelife977]

Happy New Year to all. For a new year’s resolution I have a couple projects that I have been working on and off for at least 1 1/2 years they have to get done soon. Bought two TOF for my first time super happy with them just wish there were less tools in them but they made for great gifts for a few of my friends

[@andyrichey1192]

Appreciate the scale news, Josh you and the family have a happy new year. Keep it fun. Keep it safe. I’ll watch for the next one until then. Peace and chicken grease😁👍👍👋👋😎

[@brandaneakright6082]

My New Year’s resolution is to finish a couple of projects I’m working on, rc’s and my real project car.

[@madmikescustoms]

Still the best news out there Josh. Happy new year's Josh and Nicole. Any chance of starting a vip membership, maybe behind the scenes of vanquish, maybe that video of your corvette doing a burnout and maybe discounts on your files for download? If so sign me up. What's the final RTR count for 2024 Josh? We all know how much you like questions. Thank you for all you do and please keep up the awesome work your doing. God bless and keep wheeling 🙏

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I really should go back and count the RTR’s. Oooof. That’s going to be a task! I’m excited to get back home and start my car again 😁

[@kevinp2820]

Happy New Year Josh & Nichole! Thanks for all you do for us RC fans.

[@Jerroldbubbataylor]

All the best in the new year

[@Lampshadekid]

I need to finish up my workbench this year, I'll go with that.

[@rc-daily]

Seen a guy at an event pulling a broken capra around with a cross rc wrecker

[@949Designs]

Happy New Year 🎉🥳

[@curtkelsey2136]

Enjoy your channel and I will make more comps this year

[@SaltPondRC]

Cheers! Happy New Year everyone! 🍾

[@TheImtoomuch]

I hope to get back into RC even more than last year. H10 build is a good start.

[@roadhog29389]

This came out when the clocks rolled for me so Happy New Year

[@gatorrcgames]

Happy New Year!!! I'm looking forward to the new year.

[@well6112]

I'm planning to get into 1/10 carpet racing. Hoping to improve my driving skills, specially in touring cars (may I get my first podium perhaps?). Practice, practice and more practice.

[@jaceSHO]

Lets go Rlarrlo

[@aegixxer1]

My New Years resolution is to go full ham on a 1/24 sporty build.

[@newfdog4tee5]

Happy New Year !!!

[@drivingBlindRC]

Happy New Year’s to you and Nicole

[@shannoncold]

I need to build a new kit, Ive been doing lots of restorations this year, hopefully an Optic...

[@NissanNut74]

Thanks for the update on the Patrol. I am always looking for Nissan truck or patrol bodies!

[@forrestcrabbe]

Congrats on another year, happy new year 🤘🍾🤘

[@17madracki17]

My new years resolution is to replace my son's and my element trail trucks with optic kits. And to use them even more then we run the trails now. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Happy new Year Everyone

[@dirtberger4533]

Happy New Year. Well I can't support Losi anymore if they don't support racer's. That's part of the reason I bought Losi.

[@boduke9428]

I've thought about and threatened to build my own RC playground for a few years now. I've got 12 acres of pasture and woods complete with a rock bottom creek no animals currently using any of it. This is the year i build my very own Exo plex on steroids type playground.

[@rcpatinaguyllc2655]

Always great stuff Josh happy new year! May 2025 bring you everything you want, need and less of what you don't want and need.

[@Stempy]

Im going to actually learn to drift my FD Tamiya build. Its beena shelf queen for a year...

[@scalecoastheroes]

Hey Josh, thanks for the video buddy that’s always great news! I New Year’s resolution this year is to learn how to TIG weld my own stainless steel bumpers. I have plenty of metal already bent for two or three different projects. I just still haven’t taken the plunge and started to weld yet even though I watched your video and review on the yes welder which is the one I got wish me luck amigo lol.

[@RowanAdventureCompany]

New Year’s resolution: trim down my cars to 15 or less. Get every single model ready to drive at any given moment. RC racing: it is going to die. There will be only a couple of manufacturers still in it. Ultra high end tracks will be more scarce. The whole segment will probably burn down and eventually be a grassroots style of racing where people are making fun courses in their back yards. Driving cars that were never meant to be ‘race’ chassis’. I’m looking forward to that. Stuff got way too serious.

[@afficialinc]

I'm going to finish my Defender D110 Origin Build as well as my Ultra and Pro back for my KZbin channel 😎 👌🏾

[@vernonneiswender4733]

Not to change the subject but who is the picture in your division 5 champion frame? Love the front engine dragsters

[@GeeShocker]

Have a good 2025! My resolution is to do more rc, didn't get to much in '24.

[@heavyCRC]

I’m going to do much more Rc activities with my hydraulic stuff and trail trucks in the new year once the snow melts

[@travistaylor8122]

New Yeats resolution Udr based metal tube cage u4/bouncer build.

[@toddanderson98]

Hope you and yours have a Awesome coming year! New years resolution is to build an F toy I have running aroud in the brain bucket along with all the build alongs.

[@jcfish847]

New RC room in 2025. Wife says the kitchen table isn't the spot anymore..

[@savagelife977]

What news is the best day

[@adamleblanc8720]

Resolution: build a crawler from a builders kit

[@1LACOSRC]

Happy New Year!

[@jerrodarndt4012]

My resolution would be to get out to crawl with buddies more!

[@stevebuchanan5773]

I plan on working out with my rc's
