History Of RC Racing: New RC Brands 

I'd love to hear about a history of a company like Tamiya.

Ok, Tekno didn't invent the 1/10th scale Truggy, that was actually HoBao. Thing is, when HoBao came out with the Hyper TT10e, most companies betted on it being a fad and ignored the new class, except for Traxxas which came out with the Rustler 4x4 but that wasn't intended for racing. And as a result, the class died off after a couple years. Tekno and XRAY brought it back.

The whole "I don't care if it's good, I ain't buyin' it 'cause it's not got the reputation" thing is what killed Tenth Tech, Durango and Team Magic and nearly killed JQ Racing, and I'm kinda surprised that it didn't kill Tekno. If people had that same mindset back in the days of racing Astutes, Associated would be just another "on road brand that thinks they can do off road" and Losi wouldn't even exist today. Nor would Traxxas, actually. They may be a huge pain in the ass for the hobby today but they did also contribute to its growth, and way back in the early days they did actually not only make competitive racing models, but even focused primarily on them. If the TRX1 and TRX3 were just kicked to the curb like what happens with new cars from new brands today, well... there'd be a lot less corporate bullshit in the hobby but the hobby would be a lot smaller as well... assuming it manages to survive the downturn it experienced in the late 2000s at all.

Great presentation. You deserve alot more subscribers!

Ok, the MRO is the embodiment of everything wrong with the direction 1/10th scale off road has taken. A design like that I don't see ever running well on anything other than its intended surfaces. It's less a buggy and more a 4WD F1 car that can take jumps. Heck, in your turf track footage, the car shows terrible bump handling, getting bounced around all over the place on turf. I'm sure it's a great technical achievement and it looks pretty sweet on its own, but I feel that every continued push towards these overspecialized carpet cars is going to continue to make the sport less and less accessible.

I miss Sworkz :)

I almost bought a Tekno but decided to go with the devil I already know

Cool vid once again. Very much enjoying your style and content.

what was that random picture of a positron tire at 3:15 lol

keep these daily upoads coming💪💪

And again top shelf mate.

Great research.

Learning alot from watching your channel🤙

Great video and information

Recently there's also G-Force RC from Japan that released their first kit , the Genova designed with Masami. Its a weird take on retro design but for modern track ? They call it an entry level kit but the price kinda isn't. Anyway , good video as always.

You should make a discord server it would be very popular

Know anything about PR Racing? Its not a new company I guess. But I haven't heard much about them

What about Traxxas and Team X-ray????

Just for the record, Joseph did not sell JQ Racing
