Wheelie Yellow is approaching six million views in a day across the channel, roughly ten times its usual daily audience. The little homemade vehicles are drawing attention on a distinctly less miniature scale.

The standout among the recent uploads is "Starting out gently for the first drive #rccar #rccars #vanlifediaries #keitruck #gopro", posted on 10 November. It introduces the new radio-controlled kei truck to the channel's driving adventures, following a longer film about building it.

That is a new vehicle, rather than a departure from Wheelie Yellow's world. The channel describes its adventures as vanlife with a vehicle made by its creator, and its catalogue includes miniature deliveries, trailer towing and off-road driving. The scale is small; the vocabulary is reassuringly familiar to anyone who has spent time watching full-sized camper conversions.

As we reported here, the truck's build film also gets into the hesitation that follows finishing a painstaking project. Its chapter list moves from construction to driving, slow-motion jumps and, eventually, scratching the paintwork.
