Shoutout to that amazing Datsun 240Z running edit you made. Definitely my fave RC video of the year, and maybe the decade! Kudos to you, Matt for that gorgeous piece of footage that looked as if I was seeing the real deal in Kenya in the 1970s!
Agreed! It really was a beautifully filmed & edited running vid. And that scale 70's classic rally car vibe was absolutely spot on 👌Peace & happiness to everyone in front of & behind the cameras 🎄
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family Matt! Really enjoyed this short list of 2024 RC releases! So many winners and great to see the progress in our hobby overall since 2010! Since your debut on YT you have brought many wonderful experiences and lots to be proud of for your contributions to this wonderful hobby!!! Thank you!!!
I gotta say drifting has started becoming my favorite. I built my first drift car this year and started going to a local track and they're just so open ended with customization and tuning. Plus all the cool scale accessories you can put on them. It really feels like my build tuned the way I like to drive it.
Nice surprise! New video! I liked the HPI . And the new wheels and tires you put on looked much better. A lot of choices again this year. Thanks for the information/opinion.
I am hoping for a 1/4 scale UFO or UAP that is silent antigravitational and self charging to provide indefinite flight along with a scale ET pilot figure.
I have two that I was surprised not mentioned: FMS FJ40 and Boomracing Series 88. Great year, Matt. Always enjoy!! My first episode I saw you was a review of your Scx10ii, two, two, two XJ 😂
Merry Christmas Mr Matt and Ms Rebecca. Can't thank you enough for everything you do. Please keep up the awesome work you do. God bless and keep wheeling 🙏
Merry Christmas and thanks for all the videos this year. Appreciate them a lot and I look forward to a new year full of them and you. You beautiful dude!
A very merry Christmas to you and your family Matt, is that the sound of silence I hear, no more squeaky bum sounds, a new chair from Santa I think. Got the new HPI Venture on order not due in UK till mid Jan tho, look forward to it. Brilliant UA-cam videos as always, wicked banter with Josh. Fozzy.
nice video . thank you for taking the time out of your day to inform and entertain us all . i have none of the vehicles you just covered , though i am sure they are all fantastic . i do however want one of those HPIs mostly because of the back to the future similarity . my taste is mostly vintage American styled truck /suv bodies . i have many examples in all scales from a lot of different manufacturers . keep up the excellent work and Merry Christmas ! 👍
Merry Christmas and all the best to a squeak-free 2025! Great list of rigs, I'd like to pick up one of the Zuul's before they disappear, would be a great chassis for a replica build I have in mind.
You know what Matt I can’t believe it took you 14 years to get to 100,000 subscribers being that you’re probably my most favorite RC car channel. You’re the best bro keep it up. ❤❤❤
I bought 2 Redcat RtR’s this year. Gen 9 Scout and Fusion . They are very good rigs. Both I was able to score while they were on sale. Both of them include many features that you have to add to other RtR’s. I think they are better quality than the big A- - - company. My last A brand was the CJ7. Right out of the box shocks were leaking. Dig servo died on the 2nd battery.
i predict VP will come out with a leaf spring truck....... love your work and look forward to see what 2025 has for you to show us. Merry Christmas to you and Bec
I agree with part of the LC80 take. I have 3 FCX10 Blazers, and have found the fiddly servos everywhere to be an issue. I just got an RC4WD tf2 K10, and appreciate the simplicity.
I really enjoy your channel/content. For 2025, I would like to see Kamtec Mini's make there way to the states for an affordable race class. They are popular in the UK and it looks like a fun way to race.
I am and old It guy so I never get new releases. That explains why I am just now pining for a Gen8 V2. All that said your list looks great. If I was interested in spending a good chunk of money an H10 Optic would be on my list with a Stance. Kit form so I can do it up to suit myself. Smaller Hobbywing fusion, Amazon servo, NIMH battery.... I'm all about keeping it simple.
Another great video but I miss the old chair already😂 The Zuul chassis was one of my personal favorites that was released this year as well as the optic. I’m still not a buggy fan, but it’s throwing on me. I hope Element and HPI get it all together for 2025.
I think there's going to be more Crawlers like the SCX 6. I think Redcat & even Traxxas may come out with ligitament 6th scale crawlers. And a SCX kit would be a huge money maker for Axial.🤞
That would be great. I love my 6 but it needs a friend. It has to live on the bottom shelf with my 8s bashers that are too big to live anywhere else and it's giving it a complex. I'm expecting it to try ripping a backflip any run now. I really hope Redcat is gonna make a giant sized version of the new 18th scale monster truck. 1/6 or 1/5 would be perfect for that.
Very good video I got 6 out of the ten ... (can't believe I spent that much money on RC this year) guess that means I agree with your choices. My main thing is 1/10 crawlers. Marry Chrisma's from Puerto Rico.
Unfortunately, I think RC will take a dive for new trucks/buggies. Because cost will skyrocket due to tariffs. I hope that I am wrong. Keep up the great job, Matt. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Rebecca. ❤
Another great one Matt. Three of your choices are the three I’m trying to decide between. Stance, Ascent fushion, and Zuul 2. I know the Zuul isn’t really comparable to the other two but you cant deny that element/associated makes great stuff. That aside, do you think the Stance is worth the extra scratch in performance over the Ascent. Thanks again.
I remember the fcx10 k5 blazer debacle! Lol. Yes ,i bought one,was on sale for for 299...im a square body fan so i couldnt pass it up. Did you ever get the truck straightened out?
Hey great video great list ,congrats on your success you do a great job 👍👍👍 I’m very interested in getting a Zuul is Element going away,I hope not they make some great products thanks
I'm hoping next year we see more Mini LMT body options from Losi or Proline. I'm also getting my hands on a new rc from Nano Tracks RC, and it sounds like he's gonna start work on the second rig in his lineup next year too
Ordered my Venture 18 the day your video dropped about it. I pre ordered it that day. I finally asked A-Main when are they going to ship them..... Dead ass they told me not until the middle of January. I couldnt even get an actual date.
@@PonkyKong Yup a basecamp, UTB18 4WS, SCX24 basecamp and Lexus GX 470. I'll leave the CJ off that list since it was 11/2023 but did not get into folks hands until 2024.
I like the nod to try to get element to make a leaf sprung truck. That would be the only thing that saves them. The worst staff and the worst rig on the market and the worst gears hands-down. I'm here for honesty.
Anyone who didn't like the FCX10 Blazer is a person who's opinion has no value to me. It's a good trail truck with lots of cool options for a price that should make Traxxass ashamed of themselves. If someone gave me a Vanquish I'd sell it without taking it out of the box. They're probably decent trucks but they have a Traxxass problem. I can't stand the owners who think they're special because they bought the most expensive truck in the class. Just like Traxxass, it's the owners attitude that turns me off the brand. You're not special.
Up until now, HPI has basically been rehashing old and tired designs but the Venture 18 has redeemed my hope that HPI MIGHT become a big player again? I'll spare you the hate about Traxxas, it's Christmas, lol! Great year overall, this video could have easily been MUCH longer (and that's always GREAT for the hobby). Merry Christmas 🎅 and Happy New Year 🥳, have a great holiday!
Great to see the continued love for the Venture18 🧡
You guys are doing great things as of recent. Would love to see what you come up with next.
"Anything you're seeing is stuff I've actually played with"
**keeps himself on screen**
😂
😂🤣
LOL 😂
Well deserved. It takes a lot to keep pumping out high quality content and you do it every week… 200k next!
Absolutely agree with the HPI Venture 18, they hit it right on the head. I'm really excited to see what they come up with next!
The chair silence is deafening. I am happy to have found SBG this year. Great content and entertaining live streams.
Wow! Nice list. I’m impressed that the HPI made the list! Small scale. Keep up the great work and enjoy the quiet time in your little escape room.
Shoutout to that amazing Datsun 240Z running edit you made. Definitely my fave RC video of the year, and maybe the decade!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Rebecca. Thanks so much for the channel membership, really enjoying that side of the channel.
Nice surprise! New video! I liked the HPI . And the new wheels and tires you put on looked much better. A lot of choices again this year. Thanks for the information/opinion.
Thank you for another great rc year . Cheers to you man.
I am hoping for a 1/4 scale UFO or UAP that is silent antigravitational and self charging to provide indefinite flight along with a scale ET pilot figure.
I would like a semi rig with a container filled with a special load from Korea.
Hopefully element gets it together in 2025. Why are none of the RC10 buggies on this list, they got released! Again...
I have two that I was surprised not mentioned: FMS FJ40 and Boomracing Series 88. Great year, Matt. Always enjoy!! My first episode I saw you was a review of your Scx10ii, two, two, two XJ 😂
Actually, I think the two rigs I mentioned, FMS FJ40 and Boomracing Series III 88 came out towards the end of 2023. My bad.
Love you don’t ever change. Some of these other guys are doing this raffle hustle. Making 250k from just a few RC’s is crazy. You are genuinely good 😊
Merry Christmas Mr Matt and Ms Rebecca. Can't thank you enough for everything you do. Please keep up the awesome work you do. God bless and keep wheeling 🙏
Good afternoon from Israel, as usual it's fun to watch your shows, you are both fascinating and make me smile. Keep it up! Have a Merry Christmas!😂
Merry Christmas to you both, thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and live streams, look forward to watching many more in '25
Great list! Thanks for your insightful videos! Merry Christmas!
I have the first two picks & for $299 the LC80 is awesome. And the Hpi seems like a great RTR. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. I always enjoy watching your content , i really am chuffed thank you
That’s a fair list.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas and thanks for all the videos this year. Appreciate them a lot and I look forward to a new year full of them and you. You beautiful dude!
Happy holidays and marry Christmas Mathew, to you and your in Canada 🇨🇦 from us in Denmark 🇩🇰. 🎄🎅🏼
A very merry Christmas to you and your family Matt, is that the sound of silence I hear, no more squeaky bum sounds, a new chair from Santa I think.

LOVE the Kyosho Rally 240Z. Such a fun car
Great list, I agree with you don't need/want all the gadgets 2speed/steering/motor nuff said. Thanks for sharing.
You know what Matt I can’t believe it took you 14 years to get to 100,000 subscribers being that you’re probably my most favorite RC car channel. You’re the best bro keep it up. ❤❤❤
The zuul 2. Available at your local smoke shop. Love the list videos and the channel ! My rcs live vicariously through you and Josh lol 👍

I never even knew shirts had top buttons until I started watching this show. Shirt Button Guy, keep up the good work! ❤
🎄Merry Christmas Matt 🎄

I am so impressed (and surprised) by that HPI truck. Just sitting here saying "It's really an HPI?"
The Venture was incredible.
I agree with part of the LC80 take. I have 3 FCX10 Blazers, and have found the fiddly servos everywhere to be an issue. I just got an RC4WD tf2 K10, and appreciate the simplicity.

Dear Santa,
One of each of these please
Very good video I got 6 out of the ten ... (can't believe I spent that much money on RC this year) guess that means I agree with your choices. My main thing is 1/10 crawlers. Marry Chrisma's from Puerto Rico.
Fms is a great brand and been around for sure :) i have a crawler from them and using it evrt day without any issues and great battery life
I actually poured one out for Squeeky. R.I.P. ,my friend.❤
Unfortunately, I think RC will take a dive for new trucks/buggies. Because cost will skyrocket due to tariffs. I hope that I am wrong. Keep up the great job, Matt. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Rebecca. ❤
Big ups on the 100k threshold! I still suggest making the plaque into RC car.
Another great one Matt. Three of your choices are the three I’m trying to decide between. Stance, Ascent fushion, and Zuul 2.

Hey great video great list ,congrats on your success you do a great job 👍👍👍 I’m very interested in getting a Zuul is Element going away,I hope not they make some great products thanks
Oh snap some new chair goofin!
Next year will be the year of the leafspring. Just to piss Josh off.
I hope so. I just started an SCX10II Cherokee build that I am trying to make as accurate as possible.
@FerociousSniper I built a Mashigan with leafsprings to match my Full sized YJ crawler.
I’m eagerly waiting for that IFS2 Land Cruiser build. I purchased it as well but am going the prerunner route.
I'm hoping next year we see more Mini LMT body options from Losi or Proline. I'm also getting my hands on a new rc from Nano Tracks RC, and it sounds like he's gonna start work on the second rig in his lineup next year too
The lack of bashers on the list is disappointing. I came for the Scale Bashers Guild!
To respect your wife's Irish heritage, I think you should do a James Deane livery on the 4tec mustang body
Ordered my Venture 18 the day your video dropped about it. I pre ordered it that day.
I finally asked A-Main when are they going to ship them.....
Dead ass they told me not until the middle of January. I couldnt even get an actual date.
Solid list💪 No Axial🤔
All they did was rerelease the basecamp
@@PonkyKong Yup a basecamp, UTB18 4WS, SCX24 basecamp and Lexus GX 470. I'll leave the CJ off that list since it was 11/2023 but did not get into folks hands until 2024.
☃️Merry Christmas!☃️
I wish fms did the fcx24 unimog in a fcx10 . The portals and 2 speed in a 10th scale with interior would be so cool 😎
Great opening 😂😅
Your gulliver should be chuffed. Great year.
Think traxxas will ever do an rtr comp truck or kit?
Merry Christmas 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🎄🤘
I know the chances are low but I always hope for a Tamiya comeback !
9:16 1996 bronco in white fms would sell like hot cakes.
0:35 unlike Harley Designs who just shows us pictures lol
Ayyy two of those things in the video are literally sitting in my basement right now. 😅
No tuxedo t-shirt for the end of year spectacular?
New chair!
I would like to see more fpv crawlers
420th like FTW!
Traxxas rtr comp crawler!
:03 ...
FINALLY!!! 👍😂
It kinda sounds like you're saying we should all stock up on Zuuls before Associated goes under. I blame Green-Edition RC10.
Very happy my 1.99 donation actually went to a chair finally 😂
Scx6 hardbodies are needed
Merry Christmas you bunch of Nerdy Ding Dongs..👍
Hopefully Element sorts out their inherent bump steer issue..so annoying on an otherwise half decent rig
We need a "best & worst RC Upgrades of 2024" before the year closes out! 🤔
Worst. Smart batteries. Best. HW 8ight
Earth roamers are kool
Locking diffs always break
3 optics?? I tried to buy one lol
You forgot the new rc4wd trail finder 2…
Hmmmmmmm..... I predict that if vanquish puts Josh in charge of shipping trucks to people, they'll go bankrupt. He can't seem to send anything.
No Ascent 18?
Came out last year.
@@scalebuildersguild Hmmm, I bought my Ascent-18 the day it was release, 3/6/24. Are you thinking about the 10th scale version?
@ oops! Missed that one somehow! Let’s give it an honorable mention. 😉
@scalebuildersguild ?...pretty sure it came out in March or April 24. No?
I like the nod to try to get element to make a leaf sprung truck. That would be the only thing that saves them. The worst staff and the worst rig on the market and the worst gears hands-down. I'm here for honesty.
I don’t like the quiet new chair. Lol
Not really sure how a kit with no motor and electronics thats $150 more than an rtr ascent fusion makes this list
Anyone who didn't like the FCX10 Blazer is a person who's opinion has no value to me. It's a good trail truck with lots of cool options for a price that should make Traxxass ashamed of themselves. If someone gave me a Vanquish I'd sell it without taking it out of the box. They're probably decent trucks but they have a Traxxass problem. I can't stand the owners who think they're special because they bought the most expensive truck in the class. Just like Traxxass, it's the owners attitude that turns me off the brand. You're not special.
Not a single TF3 on the list? I’m out. Farewell
Hey brother I'm making enough money we can get you therapy;) Merry Christmas
Redcat really? It's really ugly
And whoever designed it don't understand geometry...
2025 is the year Team Associated dies???
New char, no cares!
You got a new chair 🪑 😊
Up until now, HPI has basically been rehashing old and tired designs but the Venture 18 has redeemed my hope that HPI MIGHT become a big player again? I'll spare you the hate about Traxxas, it's Christmas, lol! Great year overall, this video could have easily been MUCH longer (and that's always GREAT for the hobby). Merry Christmas 🎅 and Happy New Year 🥳, have a great holiday!
