Excellent job my friend that truck looks on real I tell you I hope you have a good time for that
Thanks Phil! Glad you like it buddy. 😎👍
Watched all your videos it's been a big help. I've just finished building mine and it really is a great kit. I replaced the shocks with Tamiya CVA mini shocks part no. 50519 that I had lying around. Not only are these really great shocks they're a direct fit. Same length, body and hole size in the caps. Meaning you can reuse the springs and the nice metal bushings that come in the stock shocks. Nice to not waste these parts.
Result! Thanks for sharing that tip. And for the feedback. Much appreciated. Make sure you sub. 👍
Hi mate, I love your Patronas design :-)
Regarding the servo: I agree that this servo size is a bit hard to find. I ordered the JX PDI-2506MG (available on different marketplaces, I paid ~13€ on AliExpress). According to it's specifications it should be much stronger (6,6 vs. 3 kg/cm @6V) and only a bit slower (0,09 vs. 0,06 sec/60° @6V -- okay, 33% slower, but still quite fast) than the Surpass Hobby S0025M you referenced. This might be an interesting alternative so some guys.
I already have the JX in hand, but not tested it yet since I received my MN86K Kit just yesterday.
Cheers! Much appreciated. Bet you cant wait to get stuck into building the kit!
Thank you very much for your videos and your advice, I have the MN86K and following and discarding the 3D printable models that you published I am getting better.
Hi Jordi. Glad I could help. I have more ideas for 3D printed parts for this great rig so stay tuned. 👍
wow quite a transformation, well done, i would be tempted but i have the Hobao DC1 money pit
Thanks! Do you know, I have neglected this rig. Haven't driven it for months. Better take it trailing soon!!
Nice upgrade video 😀👍
That unit performs as good as it looks. Top shelf bro
We will take a closer look at useful information. I also subscribed!
Thanks. I've subbed too
the hamilton G500 now looks better. thanks for sharing those stl files.
No problem 👍
AWESOME VID, I WANT THOSE WHEEL COVERS FOR MINE BUT DONT HAVE A 3D PRINTER
Cheers. Really appreciate it. Make sure you sub and like if you haven't already! 👍
I also don't have a 3D printer. I use a website, upload the file and send the printed parts! if it exists in Portugal .... it must exist in your country. cheers
@@faiscas1 I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT AND YES IM SURE THE U.S HAS IT
@@garyreinke4741 glad to help, this is what this hobby is about, amusing, helping each other, and inventing new upgrades
Great work,!! Congrats!!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Remember to sub if you haven't already!
I know I need to get into 3D printing! Another great video!
Do it! 👍
Awesome video and very good and clear explained! Nice, love it. Subscribed!
Thanks!👍 Welcome to Club RCMM! 👏
Like your vids , I know it’s been a year , just getting into smaller scale , would no oil in the shocks for the flex since tires gave ride height, heat shrink on those pesky screws or pins for axile drive shafts
Good ✌️👍👍👍😀
😃👌
Fuhhh.. It's the best brooo! 👍 👍 👍 👌👌👌🥰🥰🥰
Thanks bro 🤜🤛😎
love the in depth review. is it possible to make a Versus video? like compare it with 1/10 SCX10"s or CC01's or maybe other 1/12 scale rigs, I wanna see how this truck's gonna compete with the others. That 12mm hex and its wheelbase is the one got me sold. I'm actually thinking if I can fit the Pajero/Unimog/Isuzu-Mu body shells to it.
Thanks! I was thinking of comparing it to the Wpl C34 which is one of the closest spec models. Great idea with the other bodies. Let me know how you get on!! 👍
Awesome video 👍😀
Cheers!! 😁👍
Great start to your channel!
I'll be adjusting preload on individual shocks and altering weight distribution when mine comes, before adding weight. Does anyone do spring sets any longer? I remember having some that included dual rating i.e. Vsoft for around 2-3mm of initial travel. That was for the on road cars I used to race.
Been wondering which servo to get, I'm guessing a waterproof, digital, all metal, around 9kg. It is a wild guess though. 3kg didn't look bad!
Haven't done RC for around 20 years and haven't got any of my old cars sadly!
One other thing I've noticed, if the current shocks are longer it may push the beam axle to a point where the angle of the main drive shafts cause vibration that affects traction.
Can't wait to get going again.
Hi. Welcome back to RC!! Great truck to ease yourself back in with. No specific spring sets for the '86, but you may be able to use ones for other cars. The springs are 15mm wide by about 50mm long unloaded. I might look at trying to 3DP a bracket for a larger servo. Not had any axle axle vibrations yet but certainly something to be aware of. Cheers for the positive comments and enjoy your '86!!!!
i know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any help you can offer me
@Silas Rafael Instablaster ;)
@Coen Hayes I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Coen Hayes It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
You didn't put any weight on the wheels, right ?! only in the "chassis"? thanks
Yes. Only the chassis. The metal beadlock rims have a bit of weight to them. They don't have space for wheel weights anyway.
Good
😀👍
thanks for all the tips, i finished the assembly on mine today! There are some parts left, a blue triangle, a pinion for the bigger engine, with more teeth and some black parts with braking pins ... any idea what it might be?
Hi. I didn't get any blue triangular part. The only blue part was the heat sink for the motor. I had loads of spare screws including some spare axle pins, as well as a few spare black plastic parts. So I wouldn't worry. 😀
Hi there!
Assembled my 86ks recently with almost all the same upgrades (shocks, servo, rims from Injora, steering rod). Good for the first crawler kit for the newby.
Have you searched for proper led light kit, to light whole entire car in mn86ks version? I mean 3 repeaters on each side blinking when you going left or right, all the lights in rear bumper with stop lights, flashing when you brakes, and two on the roof.
Don't want just to stick in a several permanent lights, to make it shine like a christmas tree...
Hi. Thanks for watching! I am not aware of a purpose made light kit for the '86 being sold yet, but there are plenty of LED light systems out there that will probably do the job. Just remember that most of the holes are for 3mm LEDs. Enjoy your rig!
Please can you tell me where you got the stickers from... Your build videos on the mm 86ks are brilliant and it's made me order a kit Thank you keep going your fantastic 👍
Thanks Brian. Glad to have inspired you. Makes it worth while. Link to the ebay seller to follow

Hey there buddy, I'd like one of these rc 4x4, so teach me all you can pal. 😎👏✌👌🤜🤛🤙👍
Cheers man! 🤜🤛
👍👍
🤘😎 Thanks man. Welcome to Club RCM&M
I would have put the screws in from the back and put nuts on the outside of the rim making it look more like wheels nuts on the wheel nut studs
Yeah. Good idea!
Sorry ...me again :p! So, the 3.5 servo does the job? Or you think we need a bigger stronger servo? I´m thinking about 25kg servo but, i´ll need a new servo bed. it would be awsome if you design one :p
No problem Miguel. 😀👍 I think it depends what youre going to use it for. Go for the bigger one if you are going to do some heavy duty crawling. 25kg might be unnecessary. 12kg should be sufficient I reckon.
Hi, nice work you‘ve done to this model :)
I find this Model (the K Version) really noisy. I‘ve already filed the motor mount so I can better adjust the mesh. No luck... fitted a 12T pinion. No luck... really annoying sound. Are you experiencing this too?
Hi Dan. Thanks. Mine's really quiet. There is a small section in my first test run video which doesn't have background music playing (at 6:45) which will show you. Someone else commented that their K was noisey. The only thing I can think it might be is the brass bushings as that's one of the differences to the KS. I take it you applied plenty of grease to the gears??
@@RCModelsandMods yes, I replaced all bushings with rubber sealed bearings, and also greased. I also added a thin pad between the motor and the mount, that I had from another motor. Of course the body amplifies the noise too. Will try adding some thin foam strips or so wher the body is mounted
@@danielh4707 I hope you get it sorted!
**If any other of my viewers out there have found a way to solve this problem then leave a comment/reply**
Loving the channel. Have a MN86KS on the way. Can you please tell me the shocks you are using? The ebay link has expired. Thanks!
Glad to hear you are enjoying it! Bet you can't wait for it to arrive. Make sure you watch the build videos for some tips. Thanks for letting me know about the link. I will update it tomorrow.
@@RCModelsandMods Appreciate that. Thanks.
Hi Tom. The link should be working now
Many thanks. Shocks ordered. Looking forward to the next video!
Cheap and effective easy changes !! top!!! why not use a 6kg surpass servo! it does not fit? Thanks
I think the 6kg servo is too big. I will check it out. Thanks!
Very nice. But how to correct the geometry of turning front wheels (I mean the inner wheel turns more then the outer one - different drive radius-different angle). This very popular in rc cars WRONG geometry together with blocked differ makes sharp turning almost impossible. If linking rod is placed in front of the axis, the angle of steereing knuckle arms should be changed. The applied angles are correct ONLY if the link rod is placed in the back of the axis. Good luck.
Good point, well made!! Sadly if the servo was set further back it would limit suspension travel as it would hit the gearbox. Perhaps another 3D print project. Thanks 😁👍
@@RCModelsandMods You can leave the rod in front of the axis (like in real Defender), but it must be longer, then distance between pivot points of knuckles. Another words the angle between both knuckle arms must be obtuse (bigger then 180deg). I did so and it looks really good and of course works much better, espacialy on slippery surfaces.
You can be the first in the RC world, who cares about this very important detail, overlooked by almost all RC producers.
@@markiewicz1953 I think I get what you mean 🤔. I will see what I can do. I have a backlog of projects and ideas. Stay tuned!! 👍
@@RCModelsandMods Good Luck!
I may have missed it but how many grams of weight did you add there?
Good video.. May i want to know what type esc your used?
Surpass Hobby 60amp crawler esc with the additional programming card. I'm going to do a review of it ina future video. So make sure you sub! 😀👍
Hi can I know what outer diameter your tyre I just bought beadlock rims and I don't know what tyre size that fit mn86ks body.
Hi. 90mm. Details on my 'Upgrades and Mods part 1 video'.
im buying 96mm mst tyre it will be tight fit i recon. 😅
@@deltaqueen3493 You will probably need to use longer shocks and trim the arches a bit. 👍
What is the exact tyre model? either i am being really stupid or link not to right tire?
Hi. Thanks for commenting. No it's not you. I have had issues for ebay links expiring. I updated all the links today and forgot to put it in. The link you followed is to the tyres recommended by a subscriber that I mention in the video. Here is a current link to the tyres I used. www.ebay.com/itm/282692314452
Duration working time playing how long?
It depends on what battery and motor you use, and how you drive it.
Hi wanted to ask if 25g servo from surpass is sufficient for offroad?
Hi. Not for the '86. The 3kg one I used broke after a while.
@@RCModelsandMods oh nooo i guess the 3rd party metal servo bracket could accomodate at 40mm 25KG ones? DS servo
Not sure. You would have to check the specs.
whith is better mn89 vs mn99? please make a comparisom)
Hi. Good idea! Got a few other videos on other trucks to do first though. I will see what I can do. The closest comparison in specification and price to the MN99 would be to the MN86K (the MN86KS is higher spec). The MN99 is a great little truck that comes RTR. It's a capable for its size (smaller than the 86 - about 1/14) but is more 'toy grade' as they say. The 86K is a little bit more expensive but its superior in every way and is 'Hobby grade'. But as it's a kit you need to buy the battery, transmitter/receiver, and electric speed controller to get it running, which is extra cost. I would definately recommend the 86, and if you stretch to it, the MN86KS. Hope this helps. 😀👍 Make sure you sub if you haven't already!!
@@RCModelsandMods thank you!) there are no problems with spare parts in 86? I was looking for metal gearts but did not find( whill there?(
Both K and KS models have metal gears in the diffs and plastic gears in the gearboxs. I dont think you can get metal replacements yet but they are bound to be available soon. You can buy spare axles and gearboxes already.
@@RCModelsandMods nice) thank you!)
Hi where we can buy the balast weight ?
They are car wheel/tyre balancing weights. I will find a link. Are you UK?

The steering servo link is bad
You're not wrong. Its a big design flaw, but one that should be an easy fix with an axle mounting bracket, so long as it doesn't hit the battery tray or any other part.
