A sofa cushion is a serious obstacle when your Land Rover fits on a desk. Ben Schmanke's most-watched new upload, "Crazy Fun TINY Land Rover RC Crawler!", makes a miniature adventure out of corduroy ridges, keyboard keys and loose gravel.

The wordless showcase gets close to the little Defender's chassis before putting its steering, suspension and working headlights to use. Indoors gives way to concrete edges, wooden planks and wire mesh outside. It has reached roughly 22,000 views, with viewers asking the practical questions a tiny truck tends to provoke: where did it come from, and how much does it cost?

Another miniature vehicle joined the week: a Scania RC semi with a detachable trailer and interchangeable drift tires. The change of scale continued elsewhere, from desktop trucks to wired USB-C Bose earbuds with noise cancellation. Ben also tried a Home Depot Christmas sweater with actual tool pockets, plainly identifying it as a gifted item.

The new trucks aren't carrying all the traffic. His comparison of four iPhone Pro camera generations is the busiest video right now, testing daylight, low light, microphones and stabilization. The Segway Xyber Air demonstration is also drawing more daily views than the tiny Defender.

Across the channel, the week brought nearly ten million views and subscriber growth, although today's viewing pace is well below its usual level. That weekly view gain was substantial among nearby gadget channels, with HTX Studio also having a busy week and ShortCircuit quieter than usual. For AuthenTech, the small-scale crawler adds a gentler counterpart to the RC tug-of-war tests that fill its most-watched Shorts list.
