Axial's ability to adapt to changing rc demands is nothing short of amazing. It might be a fun video to show just how many amazing and diverse products they had over the years. Cheers to a fantastic year or rc. Thank you, for all of your hard work, informing and inspiring so many new and old rc enthusiasts.
Matt you got yourself into a “That’s What She Said Situation” 48 times this year (not including livestreams). I enjoyed going back and watching every video again, it was a good refresher. 👌
I intentionally left it off, because if I'm honest, it looks great, but doesn't really "do" anything. Towing your trucks around on the back has really limited appeal for me, and since it's a terrible off-roader, I had to keep it off the list. Certainly a customizer's dream though!
Mojave 4s blows the Traxxas out of the water and makes the raptor feel like a toy grade rc vs a real hobby grade rc! The bug is so cool! I definitely need to check that out!
I have the Mojave 4s and would give it an honourable mention, but I haven't driven it yet! This review was based on releases that I've had some time with! Merry Christmas!
@@4TheRide I picked up the Mojave 4S. It’s not on the list because I haven’t driven yet (like I said above) and, if I’m honest, none of them are very towards the “scale accurate” end of the spectrum.
Some really nice cars - I really like your 'low trail' - looks to me a lot better than the high one. I myself have eyes set on a car that is not all that new - the Cross RC XT4 (love the hard body and lockable diffs).
☃️ Excellent choices Matt. 2023 ‘‘twas a good year for our hobby. Thank you for all of your video content as you always entertain us with your antics. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. 🎄🎁✨
Matt I give you alot of bs in the lives but I have to say I enjoy your videos alot. Can tell the effort that goes into them, informative, and to the point. Just the way it should be. Good on you my friend. Hope to cross paths with you in person some day to shake your hand sir.
I've got the Ford F150 HighTrail TRX-4 ... and it's so much fun. My first crawler and I take it with me on the weekends when we explore new nature areas. -- Glad to see it on your list.
Really stoked about the comp releases this year, I'm hoping this means more people at comps again. I didn't track the "thats what she said", but I am now an alcoholic from drinking everytime you said something about the size of man you prefer....as a driver figure.
Thank you, Matt, for a great 2023. I was on the fence about the CJ7 as I already of the 4 SCX10iii's but if any I probably should have this new one. I really enjoyed your commentary during running footage as we get the visual along with the comments and description. I have started a log of all of your suggestions and useful items, such as weathering and tools, that you have mentioned. Thanks again, Matt.
My Axial cj7 just showed up today. I chose the other color combination. Watching your channels always seems to cost me more money. I purchased 6 off your list as well as many others not listed. Keep the great video content coming.
Really enjoyed your cool running footage, great to see! I like lists and this one is just one of them. Thank you kindly for a fun, Scale Builder's Guild 'Year In Review' 🙏👍😊
I would have bought a Fordyce RTR if they had a portal version. I converted a straight axle truck i already with a set of vanquish portals. I now have my 1st portal rig.
It really has been a great year. I'll have the Fordyce possibly before new years. If not just after. Redcat really raised the bar on their stuff. Vanquish is still number 1. Axial did a fantastic body... but still that blah 10.3 chassis. But. It's still an amazing release. Element is the company I have really been watching. I love how they just have fun.. i feel they are what axial was. Traxxas makes a durable product that works. They always look and perform great. One day.... I'll own a tamiya hahahaha.
VRD Carbon is basically a roller at best wouldn't put in same category as rest of stuff you picked but that's me. Way to many variables because can build it 10K ways.
Great list Matt!!! Just the Fordice can't be a better deal than the Phoenix because to upgrade the Fordice to the same quality diff gears and locker , you need to spend at least 110$ US, when the Fordice pot metal ones strip! And you don't get the versatility of the VFD twin, just to save 20$... Awesome work!
Great list!!! Yeah so many redos TRX, Ultron, your lists rule!!! Love that bug 18 gonna check that out!! Your video highlights are sick dude!!! Yes little need for speed! Can’t deny the ascents popularity, idk about its durability we’ll see…. I’m a Phoenix body fan for sure not a Fordyce body fan. The Cj has to top it
Hello, your videos are always very good, I wanted to ask you about the axial jeep, what figure it has, what size it is and where you can buy it. Thank you very much!
why is it that every time I watch your show it costs me money ?! Oh that's right I MUST FEED MY ADDITION and I don't want to stop! Matt you've outdone yourself once again and I want or have every one of those cars. always a pleasure and can't wait for your next one,,, by the way best cars of all time SCX6 and Traxxas trx6
I'm really leaning towards building the Bugger chassis, for the sole reason of having a spare Monster Beetle body. But I wonder, does a list exist of the parts from the UTB18 that are used, and is it more or less economical to buy just those parts or to just get a UTB18 and cannibalize it? As always, love your channel and I always look forward to new videos.
Traxxas has yet to give me problems. By axiel keeps burning up but it’s only 1/24 so idc really But I wish more more crawlers had 2 speeds like the trx 4 I’m still trying to figure out which crawler to buy I want drawing abilities but I still want some speed
Really, the Utron??? Fugliest release of year it may win but top ten best releases of 23, me thinks not LOL!! the rest I am on board with but that is just an opinion and we all know what those are worth.
