How to read this page
The score is the likelihood a story makes the next episode — read top-down: the top ~8 cards are the episode, the 60s are the bench, the 50s are solid products that don’t earn a slot, under 40 is noise.
In / Out locks a story in or passes on it. Your clicks are the only signal that trains the ranking — Undo is always one click.
Verified: genuinely new 2026 launch. RGT Pioneer V2/EX86110 V2 is an all-round upgrade of the older EX86110, listed as a 2026 launch (Banggood/AsiaTees). Not previously covered on the show. Genuinely new RGT crawler launch (launch_signals, press-release framing for 2026) matching the brand's strongest historical pattern: full-featured RTR-style crawler with portal axles, two-speed transmission, ESC, LED lights - directly aligned with past newsworthy RGT stories like the Ripper, Challenger Pro, and Rock Cruiser RC4. Full-featured crawler platform announcements score toward the top of the crawler/trail category range.
Verified: Genuinely new item (dated_launch, catalog date Aug 7, 2026, matching first-seen date closely) from Knight Customs, whose licensed/scale detail sets for crawler platforms (interiors, roll cages, light buckets) are exactly their most historically newsworthy pattern. This VRD Stance detail set fits squarely into that pattern with a driver figure, roll cage, and light buckets for a crawler chassis. Priced item, clear launch signal, on-brand and on-theme for the show.
Verified: Genuinely new item (launch_signals, added Aug 7, 2026, on back order) matching Knight Customs' core historical pattern: a licensed scale interior detail set for a crawler body, complete with driver figure, roll cage, and steering wheel—exactly the type of accessory kit the show has repeatedly featured. Falls squarely in the crawler/scale accessories category (70-95) and hits near the top given strong brand fit and confirmed recency.
This is a genuinely new CR18P line entry (8WD TERRANAUT variant) with launch_signals confirmed via arrival-notice listing, zero stock, and unset pricing — clear pre-release status, not an old catalog page. Hobby Plus CR18-series crawler platforms are the brand's most consistently covered pattern on this show, matching multiple past segments (CR18P EVO 2, V3, Pro Evo). The 8WD configuration adds novel story value beyond a routine colorway/size variant. Solidly within the crawler/trail product ran
Locked Up RC is a strong on-theme brand match: 1.9" beadlock rings for scale crawlers is squarely in their historically-covered pattern (trail-ready wheel/beadlock offerings). NEWNESS is dated_launch with a forum post from Feb 11, 2026 confirming a genuine new colorway/finish release, though the first_seen date is later (low confidence) suggesting some lag. This is a new finish variant on an existing ring line rather than a wholly new product, which tempers it slightly from the top of the crawle
Genuinely new development: launch_signals confirm shipping just began this week to first buyers, sold out at 250 units, with community discussion of variants — a real story with fresh developments, not a catalog rehash. Reefs RC is a strong show fit for crawler-specific electronics/hardware, and a limited-run truck ship-out with sold-out status and future-variant chatter has good story value for a scale-crawler news show. Not quite top-tier since it's a truck/kit rather than their usual electron
Genuinely new launch (launch_signals, Facebook post this week) matching Gens Ace's strong historical pattern on the show: smart charger systems (iMars series) with G-Tech monitoring have been featured before (iMars Dual, D300). This is a direct continuation of that newsworthy line, priced and specced clearly, so it sits solidly in the shop tools/chargers range and benefits from the brand's track record boost.
MEUS Racing is an established scale-crawler brand with a strong track record on this show, and this item concerns tires/inserts for their crawler line—squarely within their newsworthy pattern. The date is high-confidence (listing_published, 2026-07-29) and close to first-seen (2026-08-03), well within the ~10-day recency window, qualifying as genuinely new. Small accessory item (tire inserts) is a minor product but fits the crawler-components category (70-95 range) and matches historical coverag
Genuinely new release (dated_launch, high-confidence date within ~4 days of first_seen) from MEUS Racing, a brand with a strong track record on this show for SCX24/TRX-4m crawler upgrade parts. This is a body shell/nylon frame kit for 1/10 Axial SCX10, squarely in crawler/scale body territory with clear specs (price, wheelbase, fitment, light kit). Fits the crawler/trail products category range (70-95) and matches the brand's newsworthy pattern of crawler components/body panels, though it's on-r
This is a genuinely new (high-confidence recent date, listing_published) crawler accessory: CNC brass upper links for the FMS FCX24M Land Rover D90, a scale crawler chassis component. It fits the crawler component category (70-95) and aligns with the brand's pattern of scale Land Rover D90 builds/mods historically featured (Fair RC Romantic Adventure Mod Land Rover, Rusted FJ & LR, FCX18/FCX24 BATRAZZI Track Set). Direct bolt-on hardware with functional CG benefit gives it solid story value, tho
Verified: Genuinely new (launch_signals with recent catalog date and back-order status) accessory kit from Knight Customs — a crawler-focused scale detail part fitting the brand's historically newsworthy pattern (accessory kits, scale-accurate detail parts for crawler bodies). Direct-fit accessory for a popular crawler body, priced affordably, matches the show's established taste for small crawler accessory drops.
Matches Kyosho's historically newsworthy pattern (Mini-Z ReadySet RTR with licensed body - here a Jimny Sierra crawler variant with a Belt Crawler Kit bundle) and carries launch_signals ('New Arrive' label for this specific bundle). Falls squarely in the crawler/trail product category which the show favors, though Mini-Z scale (1/24) and bundle nature keep it from the top of the range.
Genuinely new (dated_launch, high-confidence recent date within ~10 days) crawler component: aluminum oil-filled shocks for the popular SCX24/FCX24M micro crawler platform. This fits the crawler components category (70-95) squarely. Under FairRC's brand it's a bit of a stretch since their historical pattern is body sets, custom paint, and licensed themes rather than performance hardware like shocks - this reads more like a BATRAZZI product than a FairRC scale-lifestyle story. Still, the item its
Community 3D-print project with launch_signals newness (linked from monitored brand's Facebook the same day as first_seen), fitting squarely in the show's reliable community_3d_print segment. Small-maker, scale-crawler focused accessory with clear utility (adjustable body mounts, self-tapping hardware) and a concrete price point, consistent with weekly features of this type.
Genuinely new community 3D-print item with launch_signals (linked from monitored brand's FB page this week), fitting the show's reliable weekly slot for small-maker printable parts. Niche (body mounts for a specific chassis) keeps it from the top of the range, but novelty is credible and on-theme for scale crawler community content.
Small-maker/community project (Brazin Scale RC) releasing a specific, novel scale accessory (leaf spring perch mounts for Vanquish F10 axles) with launch_signals newness from a monitored brand's FB page dated this week. Falls squarely in the community 3D-print/small-maker parts category the show features weekly, priced and detailed enough to feel like a genuine new drop rather than catalog filler.
Genuinely new announcement this week (launch_signals, 'earlier this week') of Tamiya's classic Clod Buster monster truck reissue with original red plastic and box art. This is a heritage/re-release model, matching Tamiya's historical newsworthy pattern of platform re-releases and heritage models cited on the show (e.g., Bronco, Land Cruiser). It's a major-brand kit outside pure on-road/scale-crawler focus but monster truck/basher territory has clear precedent. Score sits mid-upper range for majo
High-confidence recent date (2026-08-05) with clear launch details (new colorway/size product for 1/18 crawlers) qualifies as genuinely new. This is a crawler component (wheels) which falls in the 70-95 range, but it's branded as BATRAZZI under FairRC listing and is a fairly routine wheel-set release for small-scale crawlers rather than a flagship story. Also, wheels/tires products aren't part of FairRC's historically-cited coverage pattern (body sets, custom paint, licensed themes), which tempe
Kyosho Mini-Z licensed body/model announcement fits the brand's established newsworthy pattern (Mini-Z ReadySet models with licensed bodies), giving it a solid floor. However this falls into the major-brand kit range for on-road/scale nostalgia releases rather than crawler content, and lacks strong scale/crawler theme relevance for this show's core focus. Novelty framing ('Announces') supports a genuine new release, keeping it out of the catalog-cap zone, but the on-road drift/racing Skyline the
Genuinely new (high-confidence dated_launch within ~10 days) crawler component: bolt-on aluminum shocks for FCX24M/SCX24 micro crawlers with tunable springs. This is a scale crawler component release, which the show covers, but it's branded BATRAZZI aftermarket parts distributed under FairRC rather than FairRC's typical newsworthy patterns (licensed bodies, weathered/vintage builds, character-themed vehicles). Not in the 'not covered' bucket either since it's not on-road/drag/generic basher. Sol
This is a genuinely new (high-confidence dated_launch) crawler component—a CNC aluminum servo mount upgrade for the FCX24M chassis. It fits the crawler components category (70-95 range) but is a routine catalog-pattern part (a small hop-up upgrade, not a body/character build or restoration project) which is FairRC's proven strength on this show. FairRC's track record favors licensed bodies, weathered/vintage builds, and character-themed vehicles, not small aluminum hardware upgrades, so this doe
Verified: IR60-10 is a genuinely new 1/10 scale-up of the IR60 body (fresh Big Squid RC coverage, injora.com/Amazon listings). But host de-ranks Injora (rarely covered) and cluster 1006 is the same product; trimmed from 78.
On-theme Axial SCX30 crawler hop-up (servo horn), matching the brand's historically covered pattern of crawler-specific mechanical upgrades. However, NEWNESS is 'retail_availability' (back order listing, catalog add date), not a confirmed dated launch, so this caps below the full crawler-part range. Given Axial is a favored core brand for the show, scoring in the 40-60 retail_availability band toward the upper end due to strong category fit.
Genuinely new (launch_signals, brand FB post this week) charger from Spektrum, a brand with strong track record on waterproof smart chargers per show history. Falls into shop tools/consumables category (40-60), and is on-theme for scale (IC3/IC5 connectors suit crawler batteries). No crawler-specific ESC/motor/RX angle here, just a compact charger, so mid-range within its category rather than top.
Verified: same new Injora IR60-10 hard body as cluster 2202 (color variant). Genuinely new but Injora is host-de-ranked; duplicate listing. Trimmed from 74.
Yokomo SD3.0 is a drift kit (on-road category), not scale/crawler-focused. It shows launch_signals (back order, catalog add date, limited edition), so it qualifies as genuinely new, but drift/on-road kits sit in the 40-70 major-brand range and this is a routine limited-edition variant of an existing kit line rather than a fresh model, keeping it mid-range rather than high.
NEWNESS is dated_launch, but the forum announcement date (Feb 19, 2026) is well over 10 days before the first-seen date (Aug 8, 2026), making this stale news rather than fresh this week. It's a colorway variant (Texas Gold) of an existing Splash AO8 1.9 wheel line, matching Locked Up RC's historically covered pattern (1.9 beadlock wheels, crawler-focused) which supports relevance, but the routine catalog-variant nature plus the aged launch date caps it in the mid-range rather than the top of the
Genuinely new launch (dated_launch, filed under 'New Products' with clear launch date) which grants full category range consideration, but this is a 1/24 micro rally RTR — an on-road/rally major-brand kit, not one of Team Associated's historically newsworthy patterns (RC10 platform variants, trail derivatives, Element scale accessories). Falls into the 'major-brand kits in any surface category' bucket (40-70) rather than the brand's core crawler/trail wheelhouse, and doesn't match the brand's sp
Kyosho Mini-Z 4X4 Jeep Wrangler with licensed body fits the brand's historically newsworthy pattern (licensed scale bodies/Mini-Z RTRs), but NEWNESS is explicitly 'unclear' with only a low-confidence first_seen date and a generic 'New Arrive' retailer tag—no launch signal. Per rules this caps the score at 45 despite strong thematic fit.
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). A FlySky micro receiver for scale/small-scale RC applications fits the brand's historically newsworthy pattern (micro receivers for compact crawler builds). However, the framing is weak on novelty confidence - it's described as 'listed' on a third-party retailer's site rather than an official launch/announcement, which is catalog-listing language. This caps enthusiasm but the on-theme electr
Locked Up RC's EG2 beadlock rings for 1.9" crawlers hit the brand's strongest historical pattern (1.9 beadlock wheel/ring products), but the dated_launch date (Mar 5, 2026) is well outside the ~10-day recency window relative to the first_seen date (Aug 8, 2026) — this is old news the show already would have covered months ago, not a fresh drop. Also a limited 10-set novelty colorway variant rather than a substantive new product, which caps it further as a routine catalog-pattern release.
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). This is a genuinely new release (specific colorway launch) from a brand with a track record of coverage in exactly this niche—1.9" beadlock wheels/rings for scale crawlers. It's on-theme and matches the brand's historically newsworthy pattern. However, it's a routine colorway variant of an existing product line (Tarantula ring), not a new product architecture, which caps it in the mid-range
On-theme for Locked Up RC's crawler-focused wheel/bead lock niche (1.9" beadlock rings match their historical pattern), but this is explicitly a new colorway variant of an existing product line rather than a new product launch. Per rules, routine catalog-pattern color/size refreshes cap at 35-55 even from brands with good track records, since there's no new functional story beyond a purple finish.
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). This is a genuinely new colorway release (Vanishing Night anodized finish) for Locked Up RC's 1.9" Iconic SLW Internal wheel, fitting the brand's historically covered pattern of 1.9" beadlock/crawler wheel offerings for trucks like Capra and SCX10-III. However, it's a routine catalog-pattern variant — just a new color on an existing product line — which caps scores in the 35-55 range per the
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). On-theme scale crawler accessory (Vertex-6 line, which the show has covered before) — a wheel hex conversion kit enabling SCX6 aftermarket beadlock compatibility. However, NEWNESS is 'not assessed' and DATE is low-confidence first_seen, giving no real evidence this is a genuinely new-this-week release rather than an older catalog item. This caps it below the 70-95 crawler-component range; it
This is a major Losi announcement (5IVE-TG 3.0, a new gas desert truck platform) which aligns strongly with the brand's historical coverage pattern (5IVE-TE was previously featured). However, NEWNESS is listed as 'not assessed' and DATE confidence is low/first_seen, meaning we lack solid evidence this is a genuine this-week launch rather than a page the crawler simply encountered. Per the novelty gate rule, this caps the score at 45 despite strong on-theme brand fit and desert-truck/scale-adjace
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). A genuinely new SkyRC product launch this week (specific SKU, detailed specs) which satisfies the novelty gate. It's a shop tool/consumable in the 40-60 range, and fits SkyRC's track record of track-side/pit gear (tire warmers, thermal cameras) being covered, so it lands toward the top of that tool range rather than being penalized as an uncovered category like chargers or drone electronics.
Boom Racing is a highly relevant crawler brand for this show, and metal bonnet prop sets for BRX02 Series Land Rover bodies fit squarely into the historically-covered pattern of scale-specific accessories for BRX crawler platforms. However, the NEWNESS field is 'not assessed' and the DATE is low-confidence first_seen only, giving no real evidence this is a genuinely new-this-week release rather than an older catalog item our crawler just found. Per the novelty gate, this caps the score around th
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Hobby Plus CR18P line is squarely in the show's historically-covered pattern (crawler platform evolution releases like Pro Evo, V3, EVO 2). This EVO PRO variant appears as a preorder/arrival-notice listing suggesting genuine upcoming release rather than an old catalog page, giving launch-signal credibility. It's a brushless 1/18 crawler RTR, matching core scale-crawler coverage. However, no
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Hobby Plus CR18P crawler platform matches the brand's core historically-covered pattern (CR18/CR24 crawler lines), which supports the upper portion of a capped range. However, NEWNESS is 'not assessed' and the DATE is a low-confidence first_seen timestamp, meaning there's no confirmed evidence this is a genuine new-this-week launch versus a listing our crawler just discovered. Per the novelt
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Matches Locked Up RC's historically-covered pattern (1.9" beadlock crawler wheels), which is a strong fit for the show's scale focus and this brand's track record. However, this is a colorway/finish variant ('Vanishing Night') of an existing product line (Recluse AO8), which falls squarely into the routine catalog-pattern variant category — new anodizing/finish on an established wheel design
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). On-brand product (1.9" beadlock-style crawler wheel) matches Locked Up RC's historically-covered pattern of trail-ready wheel/tire packages, which supports relevance. However, this is explicitly a new colorway ('Texas Gold') of an existing line (TrailReady HD SLW), which is the textbook routine catalog-pattern variant the rules cap at 35-55 even for beloved/on-theme brands. No broader story
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Locked Up RC is a known scale hardware brand for the show, and this is framed as a genuine new release with clear specs (size, finishes, socket tip) rather than catalog language. However, scale hex bolts are a minor accessory/consumable item, not the crawler drivetrain/wheel products this brand has historically been featured for (wheels, tires, drivetrain-adjacent parts). Small hardware rele
This is a replacement/accessory body colorway for the Vertex-10W line, which Redcat and the show have covered before as scale crawler accessories. It's on-brand and on-theme for scale crawler content, but it's a routine catalog-pattern variant (another colorway with clipless mounts) rather than a major new platform launch. Back-order status also weakens novelty/launch framing. This caps in the routine-variant range rather than a fresh product release.
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). This is a new licensed NASCAR RTR release from Losi, matching the brand's historical pattern of licensed scale body sets/liveries and NASCAR variants which the show has covered before (e.g., Losi NASCAR examples cited). It's on-road but licensed NASCAR stock car content specifically has precedent on this show unlike generic on-road TC/asphalt racers. Novelty is present (new edition, new driv
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Injora's SCX24 titanium LCG chassis kit fits squarely in the crawler/comp-crawler component category, which normally scores 70-95 for genuinely new items. However, the DATE is first_seen/low confidence and NEWNESS is 'not assessed' (effectively unclear), meaning there's no confirmed evidence this dropped this week versus being an older catalog listing our crawler just found. Per the novelty
This is a Mini-Z chassis kit release, which is on-road/on-topic for Kyosho's known catalog but falls outside the show's historically covered Kyosho patterns (Fazer scale bodies, KC10 crawler platform, licensed Mini-Z RTR bodies, vintage revival kits, USA-1 monster truck). A bare chassis set without a licensed body doesn't match the 'newsworthy' Kyosho pattern list, and it reads as a generic on-road chassis upgrade rather than a scale/crawler story. It is a clearly new release (specific price, ba
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). This matches Kyosho's historically newsworthy Mini-Z ReadySet RTR pattern with a licensed body (Honda NSX), similar to past Porsche/AC Cobra/Subaru KEI releases. It has specific pricing and chassis detail suggesting a genuine new release, but Mini-Z on-road RTRs sit outside the core scale/crawler focus and fall into the major-brand kit category (on-road surface), capping it in the 40-70 rang
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). A digital ride-height gauge is a shop tool/consumable — precision measuring tool for setup, akin to SkyRC's track prep/diagnostic gear which the show has covered before (Lap Wiz, Mini HeatVision). It's clearly a new SKU with launch framing (SK-500049, specific specs), so it clears the novelty gate. Falls into the shop tools/consumables category (40-60), and given SkyRC's track record of cove
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). This is a genuinely new SkyRC shop-tool release with clear launch framing (new SKU, specs, target users), fitting the show's pattern of covering SkyRC track-prep/pit tools like tire warmers. It's a shop tool/consumable rather than a crawler product, so it lands in the 40-60 tools range, and its clear novelty and alignment with the brand's known-covered categories (tire prep equipment) push i
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). This is a genuinely new product launch (Mate2 charger upgrade) with clear specs and launch framing, which avoids the novelty gate cap. However, Ovonic has never been featured on the show, and chargers fall into the shop tools/consumables category (40-60 range). It's a real release with a discount price point, which fits the deals/tools segments the show covers, landing mid-range for a brand-
A genuinely new product release with clear launch framing (specs, features, price), which is good, but it's a shop tool/consumable (charger) capping range at 40-60, and Ovonic has no history on this show and targets a broad multi-hobby audience (RC car/drone/aircraft) rather than being scale-crawler specific. Mid-range score reflects real novelty but modest category ceiling and lack of brand affinity.
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). This is a genuine new-product launch (dual-channel smart charger with clear specs and pricing), which fits the show's 'shop tools and consumables' category (40-60 range). However, Ovonic has never been featured on the show, and chargers are a lower-priority segment historically dominated by SkyRC. Novelty is present but the category ceiling caps it below the crawler/community ranges. No uniq
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Ovonic's X1 Pro is a genuinely new charger release with clear launch framing and specs, fitting the shop tools/consumables category (40-60 range). It's a never-before-featured brand with no strong scale/crawler tie-in, and chargers are a routine but valid show staple. Solid novelty signal keeps it out of the catalog-filler penalty zone, but the generic charger category and lack of brand hist
NEWNESS is 'not assessed' and the date is a low-confidence first_seen timestamp, giving no real evidence this is a genuine this-week launch versus an older catalog listing. Per Rule 1, this caps the score at 45 despite being on-theme (crawler accessory/body hardware for a popular SCX10 III platform). Injora has no prior show history, so it gets category fit only, not a relevance boost. If a launch date were confirmed, this would sit comfortably in the 70-95 crawler accessory range, but as-is it'
On-theme Boom Racing scale accessory (snorkel/exhaust/vent set) for BRX02 Defender 130 body, matching the brand's historically newsworthy pattern of scale-specific crawler accessories. However, NEWNESS is 'not assessed' and DATE is low-confidence first_seen only, so there's no real evidence this launched this week versus being an older catalog item our crawler just found. Per the novelty gate, this caps the score at 45 despite being squarely in the show's wheelhouse.
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Kyosho Mini-Z licensed body set fits the historically-covered pattern (licensed ReadySet/ASC bodies for Mini-Z platforms), giving it a legitimate floor for relevance. It appears to be a genuinely new SKU (specific part number MZP252Y, new colorway on established chassis), but it's a minor variant (yellow NSX body) rather than a full RTR release with major story value, so it lands mid-range r
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Matches Kyosho's established Mini-Z ReadySet pattern with a licensed body (Porsche), a category the show has historically featured multiple times. It's a major-brand kit release with clear novelty (new colorway/edition launch framing), landing it in the major-brand kit range rather than the low routine-catalog band since it reads as a genuine new release rather than a stale listing.
Injora crawler axle set for the Vanquish H10 Optic is squarely on-theme (crawler component), but NEWNESS is 'not assessed' and the date is a low-confidence first_seen timestamp with no launch signals — so novelty can't be confirmed. Per rules this caps the score at 45 despite strong category fit. Injora has no track record on this show, adding further uncertainty rather than a boost.
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). A genuinely new aftermarket aluminum accessory for the TRX-4M scale crawler platform, fitting the show's crawler-component category. However, it's a niche mount/track accessory rather than a body, conversion, or themed build that matches FairRC's historical strength (licensed bodies, weathered/vintage builds, character themes). Track mounts for a micro-crawler are a modest, functional part w
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Element RC ENDURO Method 701 1.9" trail wheel fits the show's core crawler/trail wheel focus and the brand's strong track record for crawler components. However, NEWNESS is 'not assessed' and the DATE is low-confidence first_seen, giving no real evidence this is a fresh launch this week rather than a catalog listing our crawler just found. Per the novelty gate, this caps the score in the mid
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). A genuinely new Element RC part release (specific SKU, pricing, gold anodized upgrade) fitting the show's core Element ENDURO/RC10 Trail Truck coverage pattern. However it's a minor accessory/upgrade part (shock caps) rather than a full platform or component with major functional impact, so it lands in the lower-mid range for crawler components despite being on-brand and clearly new this wee
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). This is a genuinely on-theme scale crawler accessory (roof rack for Enduro/RC10 Trail Truck) from a brand with a strong show track record, and it has clear release framing with a specific price. However, it's a small accessory item (a routine catalog-style add-on rather than a platform or major component launch), which caps it in the mid-range rather than the top of the crawler component tie
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). A genuinely new Element RC release for the ENDURO Trail Truck platform, squarely on-theme for the show's scale/crawler focus. Element ENDURO trail truck parts are historically well-covered. However, this is a minor spare/upgrade part (diff cover + link mounts) rather than a major component like an axle kit or drivetrain electronics, so it sits mid-range rather than top of the crawler compone
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Boom Racing beadlock wheels are squarely in the brand's historically newsworthy pattern (scale-specific accessories/beadlock wheels for BRX crawlers). Despite the low-confidence first_seen date, this is a clear product launch (officially licensed, new SKU, specific pricing, fits BRX02/BRX02 D130), which reads as launch_signals rather than an undated catalog listing. Scores in the crawler com
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Boom Racing scale accessory for the BRX02 D130 crawler platform fits the show's core coverage pattern (scale-specific accessories, suspension/protection components for BRX crawlers) which is historically newsworthy. However, NEWNESS is 'not assessed' and the DATE is a low-confidence first_seen timestamp, giving no real evidence this is a this-week launch versus an older catalog listing. Per
This is a genuinely new Carisma release with clear launch framing (unveiled, specific price, ARR designation), but it falls squarely into the 'historically NOT covered' bucket for this brand: a high-speed on-road GT3 racing platform with a non-licensed-crawler body (Audi R8 LMS GT3 touring/race car). Carisma's newsworthy pattern on this show is rally RTRs, licensed crawler body sets, micro crawlers, and 1:8 scale sports car models — not on-road race chassis. Per the major-brand kit range (40-70)
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). This is a small brass accessory weight/bumper mount for 1/7 crawlers, a routine catalog-style part rather than a full RTR platform or licensed body set that Rlaarlo's show history favors. It's a genuine crawler component (scale-relevant category floor 70-95) with a clear preorder/coming-soon novelty signal, but the item itself is minor and incremental compared to the brand's typical newswort
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). This is a monster truck platform reissue with a preorder date, price, and specific ship date (Aug 26, 2026) — meeting the launch_signals bar for genuine newness rather than a stale catalog listing. Tamiya's track record shows heritage reissues (Bronco, Land Cruiser, FMC XR311) are a core newsworthy pattern for the show, and the Clod Buster is an iconic monster truck platform with strong scal
1:18 scale crawler/trail truck matches RocHobby's (though branded FMS here) historically newsworthy pattern strongly, and the feature set (portal axles, working lights, RTR) is on-theme for the show. However, NEWNESS is 'not assessed' and the DATE is low-confidence first_seen, meaning there's no confirmed evidence this is a genuinely new-this-week release rather than an older catalog listing our crawler just found. Per Rule 1, this caps the score at 45 despite strong thematic fit.
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). A Spektrum AC smart charger is adjacent to the show's historical coverage of Spektrum charging solutions (e.g., waterproof smart chargers), but this is a general-purpose charger, not crawler-specific, and it's explicitly listed as out of stock/no longer available, undermining novelty and timeliness. It falls into the shop tools/consumables bucket (40-60) rather than the crawler electronics s
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). A genuinely new RC4WD release with launch framing (product page showcase, new product name/scale), giving it novelty credit. However, it's a construction vehicle/dozer, not a crawler, tire/wheel set, drivetrain part, or licensed body — outside RC4WD's historically newsworthy scale-crawler accessory patterns. It's scale-adjacent and could appeal as a novel scale build, but it's a major-brand
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). A genuine new colorway release for the TRX-4M platform (a line the show has covered repeatedly via Power Hobby's own TRX4M accessories), so it has real novelty and fits the brand/product pattern. However it's a body/color variant rather than a functional upgrade part, and the brand attribution is odd (Traxxas OEM body listed under Power Hobby), which is the kind of routine catalog-color-vari
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). A genuine deal on a RadioMaster receiver — deals/promos on notable brands fit the 50-70 range, and RadioMaster radio systems have historical precedent on the show. However, this is a small electronics accessory (receiver) rather than a crawler-specific product, and the discount framing is more routine than a major launch story, keeping it mid-range rather than high.
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). A genuinely new RadioMaster product release (V2 launch, specific price, clear feature set) fits the radio/electronics category the show has historically covered for this brand. However it's a receiver rather than a full radio system like the MT12/Android radios previously featured, and it's aimed broadly at surface/marine rather than specifically crawler-focused, which caps it below the top
On-theme crawler component (servo horn for micro servos) fits the scale/crawler electronics category well, but NEWNESS is not assessed and DATE is low-confidence first_seen, meaning no evidence this is a genuinely new-this-week release. Per Rule 1, this caps the score at 45 despite the product-launch-sounding summary. PROCRAWLER has no show history, so no bonus there either.
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Team Ottsix Racing is a strong on-theme brand match (crawler wheel/axle/beadlock components historically covered), but the NEWNESS field is 'not assessed' and the DATE is a low-confidence first_seen entry, giving no real evidence this is a this-week launch. It reads like a catalog-pattern variant (another colorway/faceplate option) for an existing Voodoo DeepPocket beadlock line rather than
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Genuinely new scale wheel/beadlock product from Team Ottsix Racing, a brand with strong track record on this exact niche (wheel and axle combo kits historically covered). NEWNESS is unassessed but the summary reads as a concrete launch (specific product line, weight, price, materials) rather than generic catalog copy, and date is close to first_seen. Fits squarely into crawler component cate
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). On-theme scale crawler beadlock wheel accessory from a brand with strong track record for axle/wheel products, but this is a routine colorway/faceplate variant (another color option in an existing Split6 line) with no clear launch signals—NEWNESS not assessed and date is a low-confidence first_seen. Capped as a catalog-pattern variant rather than a genuine new-this-week story.
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). A genuinely new-this-week product launch with clear announcement framing and specs, which satisfies the novelty gate. It falls into shop tools/consumables (chargers), capped at 40-60 per category range. Ovonic has no show history, so no bonus beyond category fit. Mid-range price point and decent feature set (Bluetooth, dual channel) make it a plausible but unremarkable deals/tools segment fi
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Beadlock faceplate/wheel accessory from Team Ottsix Racing fits their historically-covered niche of scale wheel/axle products, but NEWNESS is 'not assessed' with only a low-confidence first_seen date, so no launch confirmation exists. This is also a routine catalog-pattern variant (new colorway/style of an existing Split6 line) rather than a clearly new launch, which caps it in the 35-55 rou
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Locked Up RC has a solid track record on this show for scale crawler wheel/beadlock content, and this is a clearly-new limited edition colorway release with launch framing, keeping it fresh rather than a stale catalog listing. However, it's a bead lock ring color variant (not full wheel/tire package) which is a routine catalog-pattern refresh of an existing line, capping it in the mid-range
Locked Up RC has a strong track record on the show specifically for 1.9/2.2 crawler wheel and beadlock offerings, which caps the floor for relevance high. However, NEWNESS is not assessed and the DATE is a low-confidence first_seen timestamp, giving no real evidence this is a genuinely new-this-week launch versus a catalog listing of a limited edition variant. Per the novelty gate, this caps the score at 45. It reads as a routine colorway/limited-edition variant of an existing wheel line (EG1),
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Locked Up RC is on-brand for the show given its trail crawler wheel/tire history, and this is a 2.2" beadlock-style wheel for the crawler market, fitting the historically covered pattern. However, this is explicitly a new colorway (Fossil Gray) of an existing EG1 wheel line - a routine catalog-pattern variant rather than a genuinely new product launch. Per the rules, colorway/minor refresh r
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Locked Up RC's track record on the show favors 1.9" trail-ready wheel/tire packages for scale crawlers; this is a 2.2" wheel, slightly outside their most-cited pattern but still crawler-focused wheel product. It's framed as a new Limited Edition colorway release this week, which gives it novelty credit, but colorway-only variants of an existing wheel line are capped in the routine catalog-va
Locked Up RC's 1.9" wheel/tire products match the show's historically-covered pattern (trail-ready wheel/tire packages, 1.9 beadlock wheels), which would normally support a high score. However, NEWNESS is 'not assessed' and the DATE is low-confidence first_seen, giving no real evidence this is a genuinely new-this-week release rather than an older catalog listing. Per Rule 1, this caps the score at 45 despite strong brand/category fit.
Crawler servo product fits the scale/crawler electronics theme well, and brand-attribution note aside, the actual brand here (ProTek RC) is a strong fit for crawler-focused hardware. However, NEWNESS is 'not assessed' and DATE is a low-confidence first_seen timestamp, meaning there's no real evidence this launched this week rather than being an older catalog listing crawled recently. Per the novelty gate, this caps the score at 45 despite the on-theme category (crawler servos would otherwise mer
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). On-brand for Locked Up RC's historically covered niche (1.9" beadlock wheels for scale crawlers), which is a strong topical match. However, this is a routine colorway/finish variant (Texas Gold engraved ring) of an existing product line rather than a genuinely new product launch, which caps it in the routine-variant range despite the brand fit.
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). This is a genuinely new crawler electronics product (G2 revision with clear new features: IP67 waterproofing, Bluetooth tuning, compact redesign) targeting popular micro-scale platforms (SCX24, TRX4M, Ascent-18). Despite low-confidence first_seen date, the summary contains clear launch signals (named G2 successor, specific new features vs prior gen, launch-style announcement) rather than gen
This is a Gmade crawler chassis kit (misattributed to JunFac in brand field), squarely in the scale_crawler category which is core to the show. However, NEWNESS is 'not assessed' and DATE confidence is low/first_seen, meaning we have no real evidence this is a genuinely new-this-week release rather than an older catalog listing. Per the novelty gate rule, this caps the score at 45 despite strong on-theme category fit (would otherwise be 70-95).
Gmade GS02F TC is a scale-crawler-style chassis kit that fits the show's core theme well, but NEWNESS is unassessed and the DATE is a low-confidence first_seen timestamp — no real evidence this is a genuinely new-this-week release rather than an older catalog listing. Per the novelty gate, this caps the score at 45 despite strong category fit and JunFac/Gmade being a plausible crawler-chassis brand for the show. Also note JunFac (listed brand) has no prior show history, though Gmade product itse
NEWNESS not assessed and date confidence low (first_seen), so no reliable evidence of this-week novelty despite launch-style summary language. Capped per Rule 1. Product itself is a strong category fit (crawler kit, chassis, axle) which would score 70-95 if confirmed new, but lacking that confirmation caps it at 45. JunFac/Gmade has no show history so no bonus beyond category fit.
On-theme crawler kit (Gmade GS02F Military Buffalo) with strong category fit for a scale/crawler show, but NEWNESS is not assessed and the DATE is a low-confidence first_seen timestamp, giving no real evidence this is a genuinely new release this week versus an older catalog listing. Per the novelty gate, this caps the score at 45 despite otherwise solid specs and price point that would normally support 70-95.
Crawler shock upgrade fits the show's core scale/trail theme well, but NEWNESS is unassessed and the date is only a low-confidence first_seen timestamp with no launch signals — no evidence this shipped this week versus being an older catalog item. JunFac has no show history, adding no bonus. Capped per novelty gate despite strong category fit.
Crawler-adjacent body release (Gmade/JunFac, GS02F chassis) fits the show's core scale crawler theme well on category, but NEWNESS is 'not assessed' and DATE confidence is low/first_seen — no real evidence this is a genuinely new-this-week launch versus an older catalog listing. Per rules, this caps the score at 45 despite the on-theme brand and product type. JunFac has no prior show history, adding no bonus.
Crawler shock is squarely on-theme (scale/trail component), but NEWNESS is 'not assessed' and DATE is low-confidence first_seen, so no real evidence this launched this week — capped per Rule 1. JunFac has no prior show history, so no bonus beyond category fit. Routine-looking product line variant (aluminum shocks, standard sizes/pistons) further suggests catalog rather than fresh launch.
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Genuinely new JConcepts release (pre-mounted tire set) fitting the monster-truck/basher tire category, aligning with their historical coverage of monster truck tires (e.g., Outlaw Monster Truck Tires). Clear launch framing for a specific new product line targeting Maxx/Kraton/Kagama platforms. Falls into the crawler/monster-truck components range, though slightly lower since it's a basher-or
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Genuinely on-theme crawler wheel accessory (1/30 SCX30 beadlocks) for the scale side of the show, but NEWNESS is 'not assessed' and DATE is low-confidence first_seen — no real evidence this is a this-week launch vs. an older catalog listing. Injora also has no track record on the show, weighing category fit only. This is a routine catalog-pattern variant (another wheel colorway/size for an e
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). Genuine crawler upgrade part (brass suspension mount) for HPI's Venture crawler platform, which is squarely within HPI's historically newsworthy pattern (Venture crawler/scale builder options). Marked 'coming soon' with a specific part number, indicating an actual new announcement rather than an old catalog listing, despite the low-confidence first_seen date. This fits the crawler component
Capped at 45: no evidence this is newly released (newness not assessed; date is crawler first-seen only). On-theme crawler accessory (aluminum wheels) for HPI's Venture crawler line, which is a historically newsworthy category for this brand. However, it's explicitly 'coming soon' and not yet in warehouse stock, weakening novelty confidence per Rule 1 - this is announcement-stage rather than confirmed shipping. It's also a fairly minor component/colorway variant (single silver wheel size) rather
