◄ Already covered in episode 234 — a matching product link is in that episode’s description.
Genuinely new launch (launch_signals, tied to a brand FB post this week) for a large-scale gas-powered desert truck — a return of a classic Losi platform, which fits the 'new RTR scale truck platform' pattern the show has historically covered (e.g., 5IVE-TE). It's an off-road desert truck, not an asphalt/on-road car, so it's on-theme. Scored solidly in the major-brand-kit range given genuine newness and story value (engine upgrade, return of a classic).
