CrossRC from AliExpress has been about 1.5-2 weeks to the Midwest. From the North American based distributor it's under a week. We have a few CrossRC products including the JT6 which is a 6x6 flatbed and it's long enough to carry a TRX-4. That new flatbed is tempting with the bullnose Ford cab. I personally own a barn find 84 F150 bullnose. We have the CrossRC Emo X3 which is the 1/8 scale tow truck with the bullnose cab and we love it. CrossRC deserves way more attention. They're overbuilt in all the right ways and bring a unique and affordable product to the community.
Cxd is a sister company to Wpl. Cxd has been established by Mr Huang that is a co-owner of WPL. Those are scale 1\16 RTR cars. Really nice and detailed if you're looking for that. Beetle goes along well with VW bus released earlier this year. It's fully proportional, runs 2s li-ion and 130 motor.
i watched videos on the vw bug and it runs surprisigly well its got super smooth throttle and pretty darn quick for what it its would be a super fun little indoor carpet racer
No. Nor do I watch or follow any sports. However I may linger on women’s volleyball for a minute while channel surfing haha. And as for rc Olympics - maybe making rowing boats?
I don’t watch any Olympic sports, because nothing is interesting enough to me. I used the RCMap app last weekend to find a new place to crawl, and I was very happy with the new spot!
Wife,Daughter and I all pile in front of the TV to watch every night during the Olympics don’t know what half the sports are but they are fun to watch. Also the TikTok’s from the athletes in the Olympic village are gold! RC water polo would be interesting to see
Rc10DS. I lusted after the ds kit when I was a teen. It only came as a conversion kit for a rc10 platform and was just too rich for my blood... This will probably be my next Rc.
I saw one of the Cross rc flatbed emo's in person at the drive in a couple weekends ago. Guy used it to carry his snacks from concessions. Pretty cool rig.
I watch the Olympics, but not the regular sports they show on most channels. I like seeing rugby, handball, mountain biking, skateboarding, and table tennis. Also, seeing Kevin Durrant and Lebron dunk on teams repeatedly is pretty funny.
The DS and the original Traxxas 4-tec were two of the cars I raced back in the mid-late 90s. I still have my 4-tec, but I'm not so deep into nostalgia that I'll pick up the repro DS.
Thank you Josh for the time you put in to keep the rest of us informed. Also I am with the Mrs. on this one and I love the Olympics, however I am struggling to find the BreakDancing competition an olympic sport. Regardless, its fun to watch. Lets all sign up for RC Shot Put! So that we call all sling our broken/crappy/etc RC's into the air with reckless abandon
I had one of the Associated Dual sports back in high school, was a cool platform. I would imagine with better electronics and tires it would do really well. If it wasn't for Snoop running the torch, I wouldn't have known the Olympics was on.
What does that mean? They scaled down all the electrics from the 1:1 vw? Or does it have the same power to weigh ratio as the 1:1 vw? What is proportional electronic?
@@jiveturkey365 toy grade is full turn and full throttle. Hobby grade, the further you turn the more the wheels turn and the more you pull the trigger, the faster it goes. They output is proportional to the input.
Yup, us Europeans we love Volkswagens as we've seen a lot around us growing up. And to get a good RC one under 50$ it really is a bargain😁. Usually at this scale, for that price you won't even get a static model...
Crawler Canyon is doing a series called Crawl-o-lympics where his rigs are competing against each other on his crawler park. Oh and it's the best home built course in the US by a large margin....
I’ve got the CrossRC nt6 emo and I love it. Drivetrain is odd since the carrier bearing is on top of the middle axle. But 2 speed and locking difs at that price is hard to beat. Springs are quite stiff out the box, but loaded down it does great.
I’ve been watching the Olympics mainly because my mother in law has dementia, and this is one of the few things I can put on that’ll keep her occupied while I watch over her… makes me appreciate how incredible human beings actually are… I can’t do ANY of this shit (anymore… I used to breakdance😊)
Thanks, Josh for another 🔥 SNU. I've been known to get sucked into an Olympics broadcast, IF it just happened to be on. A ridiculous sport would be Couch Humping.
I really like Cross Rc. I think they are very overlooked. The Emo X is a great platform. I really like large scale stuff so anything in 1/8 is better automatically than 1/10 for me. The bigger the rig the better and more realistic the action it seems to me.
I haven't cared about the olympics sine the 80's. You and Matt should have done an olympic themed monthly mayhem. I would love to see an RC javelin thrower or something along those lines.
I dabble watching the Olympics but my wife loves them! I'm all for throwing an average dude into every event to give us perspective. RC event: 400 meter run but you gotta run with an RTR Ryft. If ya roll you are disqualified.
We dont really watch the Olympics, but it was on the TV for a bit last weekend because nothing else was on. RC olympic sport.....I dont even know, maybe a sprint but you have to run and accurately drive a Kraton or something 😂
It's always interesting to find someone who's both physically fit and into RC. I'm not surprised that so few of the commenters have interest in Olympic sports.
I could care less about any sports, unless it has a motor involved. Nascar is dead. I hiked 7 miles yesterday in the ozark mountains at a 2.7 avg pace in 100 weather.
Great show today. You confirmed my suspicions that I am a wierdo in this RC scene of "wierdos.😂 * I don't get 6x6s *I knew exactly what the Optic was and the intent behind it when released and instantly loved it while so many struggled to understand. * And I will be buying the VW because my VW toy car collection must have it! 😁
So...Cross RC. I ordered my Wrecker in February and didn't get it for just over 3 months. I emailed the distributor back and forth the whole time and one of the things he told me was, Cross got sold and is going to a new owner. He said parts support would probably suffer a bit because he hadn't heard what the plan was for the new owner.
I don’t think there is ever enough 6x6’s, they just start to need making them bigger, and they need to start making them with the stretched beds like the Velocoraptor. I’m pretty sure Cross RC has one like that. I would totally do a build on the TRX 6x6 hauler if I had other body options.
This year I don't watch Olympics due my new landlord only streams, no tv. And yes I've been watching before, but not all of it. First one I can remember is the one from LA in 84, mostly due to the jetpack been flying inside the stadium. I was 8 at that time. Mind you I'm in Norway. RC long jump and water crossing distance with 3000mAh pack would be fun lol
Thank you for the news flash Josh no Olympics for me takes too long to watch I can barely finish a movie. I would say the greatest event would be RC bobsledding
Nope, do not watch Olympics. Keep up hard work for us, I look forward to SNU every week. Also vanquish is legendary, love u guys products. Really hard to buy anything else. Can't wait for you guys to put out big crawler to compete with scx6. Thank you.
We are the Olympics! Two people, taking care of 2 dogs, a son and nephew(both autistic). Meanwhile trying to have our hobbies(RC/Gaming), put food on the table, roof over our head, and the lights on, with a disability income. That's an Olympic Sport on it's own. Compassion in this world isn't completely lost though, we've found people in both of our individual hobbies that have been kind and generous enough to help us along the way.
Yeah, I watch the Olympics. Could you imagine a SORCCA type event at the Olympics? A bunch of outta shape guys looking intensely at a little truck crawling around through gates.
100% this Australian is watching the world playing sport together. I believe there are even some Americans participants? I don’t have an issue with the opening ceremony but am amused by how it was seen by some. Enough said. 🇦🇺
I rarely watch any of the Olympics unless I'm sitting at the bar and that's what happens to be on the TV. I work in a sports bar and haven't seen a single TV turned to the Olympics yet this year. If the USA baseball team is doing well we'll likely get some requests for their game, otherwise pfft.
Yes. meny old vintage looking trucks , and just one rock bouncer , please mention to axial to make two more chassis-cage to fit the rbx10 , I have 3 , 1 stock 1 rbx10 guts ,miller cage cut to look like 100shots bouncer buggy 1 soon to be 4wsteer hell bent bouncer metal cage , ….
I ordered VPS10504 for the side plates for the H10 transmission skid as shown in the manual and got totally unrelated parts. Can't even find listed on the VP website either. When we will actually get the rest of the cage parts? 😢

🔥💪🏾🔥
No Olympics for me. It's gotta have motor and or wings... There are discus launched RC gliders BTW
I dont really watch non-vehicular sports but seems like everybody else I know does.
RC archery would be interesting
Yes, that is the only sport that I have ever watched in any Olympics. Badminton!! There's nothing greater than smacking the s*** out of a shuttlecock😂
Wait the Olympics is happening 🤣
Can Tweekers vs drones be an Olympic event I’d watch that 😂

I always love the pop culture references under the captions for each story. Love the Cleetus reference
The RC Olympics would have to include Flying Cars! Everyone wants to be a big jumper!
I don’t watch the Olympics either. But I do believe there needs to be a beer drinking event! 😅
The long jump is a pretty easy one. Triathlon: dirt racing, amphib to crawling. All the same vehicle, don’t get to change any parts during race.
Truly next level that you are machining the top shafts at vanquish and offering them for sale. Thank you.
That rc map is badass, I've added a couple spots here around Pocatello Idaho.
The DS and the original Traxxas 4-tec were two of the cars I raced back in the mid-late 90s. I still have my 4-tec, but I'm not so deep into nostalgia that I'll pick up the repro DS.
Tell Nicole all the cool kids don’t watch the Olympics.
Not an Olympics fan! Would like to scale offroad RC downhill slalom racing!

I just did the 12 hour FIX Enduro in PA. It's an Olympic event.
only watch Basketball for the summer olympics. I personally would love to see a play on curling with rc cars.
Synchronized bead lock Hardware set up.

Yes, we watch loads of Olympics in our house. It's only once every 4 years, support our athletes!
I don't watch the Olympics but synchronized swimming would be cool with RC jetskis
I don’t watch the Olympics. It gives me time to wrench on my rcs while the wife is occupied.
RC relay race using 4 car types crawler, mud bog, drag and ralley.
For discus use tow truck to fling it from the cable, spinning the truck.
I really like Cross Rc. I think they are very overlooked. The Emo X is a great platform. I really like large scale stuff so anything in 1/8 is better automatically than 1/10 for me. The bigger the rig the better and more realistic the action it seems to me.
Yes I really like watching the Olympics summer and winter I like all the events especially the not so mainstream sports

RC event: 400 meter run but you gotta run with an RTR Ryft. If ya roll you are disqualified.
Thats a cool good idea
We watch all the events! Family tradition. Wish my dad was here to see them!
Yes. Watching the Olympics right now with this filling in.
Yes I watch the Olympics, beach volleyball with rc would be interesting. 😂
I think one of the funnest events would have to RC curling. The wrench (hammer) throw could also be entertaining, I could be an Olympian at that lol
love in the Cleet and squirrel easter egg

Telling people you watch the Olympics this year should feel embarrassing. FYI

Great show today.

😁
The Optic is sold as a trail truck. Should be obvious to everyone.
Yes, I've been watching some of the Olympics and will probably be watching more.
I think RC pole vaulting or perhaps triathlon could be interesting!
I had ordered the cross rc wrecker kit you had shown on one of your episodes and received it pretty quickly..still haven't built it yet

I just got the Emo XL. Took over a month to get but it is pretty cool. Just ran quick on the sidewalk. I can't wait to do some more running.

A great rc event would be roof jumping. Go for height and distance.
Big fan of Cross RC have a couple in the fleet the new x4 leopard looks brilliant
Lol I don't really watch the Olympics, but Rc surfing, bring it.
Video has been posted for 1 minute I was the 55th like and th 97th viewer, people are feinin for SNU SNU!! Thanks for the updates!!
I watch it when someone or something interesting is on. On the theme or r.c Olympics? The hammer. I often feel like using it when builds go wrong
Josh, how wide are those Battle Born wheels? Yes I am watching the Olympics. A scale comp or maybe truck pulls for the RC Olympic events.
Nope, do not watch Olympics. Keep up hard work for us, I look forward to SNU every week. Also vanquish is legendary, love u guys products. Really hard to buy anything else. Can't wait for you guys to put out big crawler to compete with scx6. Thank you.
I watch Olympics, but only Basketball, Skating and Mountainbike so far.
For a olympic RC discipline it's gotta be rally for me.
I don’t watch the olympics or sports in general, only watch some motor sports.
555-YER-DONE LOL! Hell yeah brotherrrrrr
I do not watch the olimpdics or any other sport for that mater
Demolition Derby and RC Soccer
Great SNU!!
That’s a huge no on the Olympics, I don’t watch normal sports. Motors only!!
I watch the important Olympic sports. Swimming, volleyball, curling, and bobsled.
I watch every minute of Olympics as possible

RC bashing can be turned into many Olympic "sports", jumps measured by height, distance, duration, rotation.

You have to wonder if they're gonna try something at kennesaw to celebrate the DS coming back?
Yes, olympics, I like very much!
Weird to hear you say the name of my hometown haha. No one ever talks about Reno. Not even kapernick.
No such thing as too much 6x6!! We need MORE 6x6….and more cowbell!
