Hosim Launches X16 1/10 Brushless Monster Truck with 62+ KMH Top Speed

released new Hosim SNU fit: 30/100

Capped at 30: reliably dated 2024-02-29 — old news, not next-episode material. This is a bashing-speed monster truck from a brand with no history on the show and general poor category fit (speed-focused RTR basher, not scale/crawler/trail). Even though it appears genuinely new (launch framing, specific pricing/promo), it falls into the major-brand-kit bucket at best, but Hosim isn't an established major brand cited by the show, and the speed-bashing angle skews away from the scale/crawler focus.
