LESU releases 1/14 PC30 Metal RTR Hydraulic Excavator
Date is high-confidence but from Dec 2024, well over a year old — this is not new news despite the crawler seeing it recently. LESU is an unknown brand not in the show's historical catalog, explicitly flagged for skepticism. It's also an RC construction excavator, not a crawler/trail/scale RC vehicle in the show's wheelhouse, and not on their radar of featured brands. Combination of stale date, off-theme product type, and unfamiliar brand caps this well below typical thresholds.
