Hobbytech Rogue Buggy 1/8 Brushless RTR (YE/OR)
This is a 1/8 brushless off-road buggy RTR from Hobbytech — squarely an on-road/race-buggy surface category, not crawler/trail/scale. Hobbytech's track record on this show is explicitly crawler-focused (CRX2 variants, scale bodies); buggies fall into the 'not historically covered' bucket akin to on-road racing vehicles. Even though it's a genuinely new release with launch framing, it doesn't fit the show's editorial lane for this brand, capping it well below the major-brand-kit range.
