rctestflight gives its R/C mileage test a second episode

Daniel Riley's miniature endurance project has a new installment as his channel's daily views climb to ten times their usual pace.

Why this story? The whole channel is running at 718,913 views a day, 10 times a normal day (71,682).

Daniel Riley's channel drew roughly 719,000 views in a day, with a fresh installment of his long-distance R/C car experiment sitting at the top of its upload list.

"Can an R/C Car Hit 100,000 Scale Miles (Episode #2)" arrived three days ago. It returns to a question Riley has explored before: how far can a model car go when the ambition is measured in miniature miles rather than a quick run around the yard?

The September upload, "Can an R/C Car Hit 100,000 Scale Miles? Self Driving Edition," has already passed five million views and sits among rctestflight's most-watched regular videos. An earlier version of the mileage challenge dates to 2022, making this a recurring engineering project rather than a one-off title.

The sequel is the notable change since the channel's early-October upload break. The channel-wide jump does not establish which video supplied the extra viewing, but Riley has given the endurance series another chapter.

That sits neatly alongside his other practical questions with unusual answers: a miniature center-pivot lawn mower, a hydrofoil sailboat and a tiny gas engine fitted to an autonomous boat.
