I used to watch his channel.The "Bob Ross" of RC channels was TheJANG from URC who used to also host his own online forum which at one point was arguably the most popular discussion board at the turn of the century. TheJANG pioneered a truly non biased system which included clear concise reviews along with a durability montage so people could see exactly what to expect without any BS. Many have tried to copy TheJANG but nobody has been able to accomplish anything close to what he's done for the industry. Not only did he do reviews, he also coined the term "JANGified" by merging his name with modified to develop amazing creations of which many of them were copied by Traxxas which introduced his creations as brand new classes of vehicles that we see today. Go back and look at the dates on when his videos were first published and you'll see they were released many years before Traxxas released the very same class of vehicle he created. No other media influencer has come close to TheJANG as far as emerging the industry.
Sadly, TheJANG was effectively shut down his channel for reasons explained here:

I would encourage folks to watch his Shapeshifter series and you'll quickly see why he should be compared to Bob Ross:

TheJANG was also the first ever to create a 4WD SCT under Project21 which I was honored to carry on that legacy with some mods of my own:

Although TheJANG has retired from RC, you can still find his amazing contributions toward his Lego channel:

*** Side note, JANG stands for "Just A Nice Guy"
