Considering the cost of some replacement bodies are up around $50 to get a nice looking hard body AND a whole rig underneath, you can't rage on the price at all.
@@muskokamike127yeah I’m so angry with bs economy every time I watch some video of somebody and then I want buy something he showcased it’s always an insane price
@@muskokamike127 I bought 2 from AliE, shipped to Canada for $42usd each, so under 60 canadian pesos, took one week to arrived also, if you wanna get it hurry up before the CNY holiday!
Used to think the same of the WLP trucks but as noted above, our Canadian funny money isn’t worth a lot anymore. Won’t get into why cause I think we can all figure it out. 😂
It's nice to see a positive review of something so cheap, too many people would have criticized it for not having all the bells and whistles completely forgetting the facr it's bargain basement and a great place to start in the hobby if you haven't a lot of spare cash or your unsure whether it's for you or not. I got two cheapies before the big spend (for me), have painted the first two and now making an aluminium custom body for the other one. Not sure about the black but understand it's a test for your later build, and it's only paint, plenty more colours out there, important thing is to enjoy what you do and have fun doing it, Greetings from sunny Scotland 😊.
You got to admit this is better than WPL Jimny and D62/64. A bit of modification, and it will outperform the other ones. They have to sacrifice something to keep the prices reasonable but they sacrificed the right stuff that is easy to remedy. I really love my MN78 with the mods i made on it and i think this will be a close second or even first. The bones are good, the proportions are right, the battery is at the right location, the suspension can be tuned/upgraded, electronics can be easily upgraded, tires can be upgraded. I think this is really good, even of you leave everything stock, it's a solid beginner's rc truck. WPL could learn a lesson or two from MN
True that, the MN looks better than the WPL, also better control now with the MN82, They sacrified on the through hole parts soldering, solder blobs and janky solder points, had to go over lots of them
MN is intended for a very good RTR, because small modifications are enough. Meanwhile, WPL needs a lot of upgrades to reach the word adequate, especially considering that the WPL C74, which is the opponent of the Mn82, has entered 1/10 scale.
Lots of trucks including my full-size rock crawler ranger have leafs and adjustable coilovers or air shocks. I run a 63” Chevy leaf spring with my aFe 18” nitrogen air shocks(which are also springs) to compensate for trail gear, cooler etc. lots of people do this. 4Runners will squeeze coils between the leaf and Frame using the bump stop to center it. It happens a lot in performance vehicles.
For faded paint effect, keep the sunburned spots on the surfaces facing up, such as the roof, hood, top of fenders and bed (where the sun has been beatin' on it). I like the M2 and gunner out back though.
Great video Phil, between yours and Aaron's reviews, i had to get one. Just ordered it off of Aliexpress, and managed to snatch it up for $41.60 US with FREE shipping. Thats insane. They might as well be giving it away. I'm gonna mount an FPV camera, a bunch of scale accessories, and drive it around the house since theres so much snow outside. It's gnna be so much fun. Great video as always bud. Keep up the amazing work youre doing. 😊👊
The edit you did wit the radiochatter etc was great, car looks great too so the weathering worked out well.. But love the thematic part of the video for sure, keep the great job up mate!
I have a few mn and wpl models and I almost never use them, to me it's more like a motorized scale model and for that price it's really hard to beat. Maybe you could find a model kit for around the same price, die cast models don't even bother to look, and they're static, I'm sort of in love with them and even I find it silly but it doesn't matter because I'm a silly guy and I llike it 😄
For the price you really can’t complain. A WPL C24 is $54 on Banggood for US buyers anyway. I don’t know what upgrades this one has available but there are a few for the WPL. It kinda makes me want to get either one and go nuts on it just for kicks.
Well.. it's much better than WPL D62/64.. There's also a MN128 that you haven't review.. I wish you can covert your MN86 G-wagon into a really good crawler.. Would love to learn how you upgrade it..😊
Remove upper steering arm, sand off about a half mm, screw arm back to servo but this time on the hole furthest, put it all back together, enjoy about a 50% steering increase
Nice to see the coil front (predominantly) leaf on the rear and 5 lug rims. Marks for attention to specification. And yeah, watching 70 series on the tracks, the suspension isn't great, they are very awkward.
Mn82 is 1:14, chinese "my friend" cheating as always. Have one mn82 too is nice on basic set with only Better Angle Drive (screw moved one level lower on servo). This truck love heavy weight load around 600-800gramm on middle and back.
the new cam set up reminds me of when u used to film out ur old garage. The truck looks so cool for the money dont think u can go wrong for a model or something like what u have done to it
Cheap, nice Toyota bodyshell and drives well. That´s why I have bought one too. Arrived today and I´m happy with the stock model. I will buy the $50 all metal kit to make it perform even better. You rat look paint scratching did not worked well. You get better results in weathering with an airbrush.
Great video Phil, I appreciate that you expose me to new segments. While it's not my cup of tea, I'm sure there are plenty of folks who do appreciate it. -- For me I tend to feel it fails as a model and as an RC ... but again I am trying to keep in mind that FMS "model RCs" start at more than twice this price. I guess I just feel the price jump is justified for a better product. -- I would love to better appreciate from those that are excited by this vehicle ... why they are.
MN do make a 6ch receiver/transmitter for cheap but you'll have to pair it with an ESC/BEC, I plan on doing a brushless outrunner and a Blheli_s ESC :)
Hm actually I looked up the V3 RES, for the money you'll be better off with a DumboRC X6FM+receiver of choice unless you must have the sound effects lol
I think it would be great to compare it to WPL C74 Jimny as they're similar price and from my observations they are often considered a "cheap entry crawler"
Your content has convinced me you dont have to spend a ton of money on an RC car to have a ton of fun building and driving it. I meam im still gonna buy expensive ones too, but now I'm looking at cheaper stuff too when I never did before.
Maybe the weathering would have been easier while the paint was a little damp still? Still looks pretty sweet. Would be more of a display model for me rather than an RC I would plan on actually using.
When ever you get the chance. You should try MNM's newest Kit model. MN111. It's a big game changer. It's a little more expensive than the rest of their models tho.
50$ trail truck is a steal if it moves at all lol wheels are more than that for a 1/10 scale. Im not a crawler guy at all but i do have a couple scx24s i scored at swap n shop for 10$ each rtr and new. The kids like them. But there not waterproof so they just sit alot. I had 6 at some point lol paid i think 50 for the lot. Many i sold for about 40 to 60$.
For some reason yours stock has the steering link mounted to the top screws of the servo, more torque but limited angles as others have noticed, mine came installed in the 2nd hole, unless it was the seller's doing
I wonder if it'd do donuts if you moved the battery to the back? The front weight is realistic (where an engine would be) but it seemed to cause a lot of understeer. I can see a lot of modding potential with this kit!
The weakness of this RC is that the chassis is plastic so that if you look at it from the side there is a body curve that forms. between the tailgate and the cabin looks bent... the rest is very good...
It has the same gearbox as the MN78 which is a favorite of mine. The motor is weakish but still capable. You can find a motor adapter plate to install a 370 motor in it.
The first thing I thought when you took it out the box was, same colour as his Hilux. Your work on this little truck looks prettyt cool. I dunno, it seems the line between toy and hobby has gotten a little blurred recently.
Toy grade just means it was never intended to get spares or upgrades for the rc, and has non proportional steering (100% left or right steering only, no in between)
Wow when is this due out? As it’s not on MN Models webpage? I’ve got 2 MN99s, ( Landrover Defender ) One hard top & another pickup style. I’ve had to do a few simple mods to make it run / steer better, but for the prices they ain’t bad as a starter crawler. I do wanna get the MN86 ( G wagon ) Daniel.

Yes, and maybe a Tonka Jeep conversion! Love the leaf springs.

sucks that when these videos go up they crank up the price, its over 60 dollars now.

Yeah, I mean.. it’s no crazy performer, but at the price, not much else to chose from

For $50 it’s got nice detail. It drives it steers. I really can’t see how you could go wrong. Thanks as always.
I have bought this MN82. I was amazed by the quality of the plastic and the fine and amazing details. And their quality control is very good...
Love how all these officially licensed products never have trademark or registration marks next to the brand logos.

Loved the themed part at 9:37
If you play it back in .75 speed looks even better, less like a model

Nice to see they mounted to servo low down on the front axel. I had to do this mod on my mn99s.👍
I just ordered the parts to do that to my MN99S then I ordered the tan MN82 from AliExpress because it was cheap with good reviews
I lived my 99s , I just ordered this as a replacement 😅
1:28 ...I like this new camera angle.
pretty damn good for that price! Try hair spray or chipping fluid on your silver base coat before the black top coat to get the worn look

Nice! I got one for only $39
Thanks for the sharpies for taillight colors tip!
Sharpies fade with UV, I think proper clear acrylic paint is the way to go
The edit you did wit the radiochatter etc was great, car looks great too so the weathering worked out well.. But love the thematic part of the video for sure, keep the great job up mate!
Red oxide paint,,, put some drops of water here and there,, put some salt on the water,, paint,,, knock of the salt,,, gives a good rusty, crusty look
I ordered this red one. I found a alloy kit with wheels and axles. Alloy links and 2 shocks (front) for around $41. I will be ordering it.
You can get oil dampen shocks and also portal axles but more $$ haha
Fantastic!! Paint job worked out great! Makes it tough to spot any poop tho 🤔
haha... Poop Camo

Remove upper steering arm, sand off about a half mm, screw arm back to servo but this time on the hole furthest, put it all back together, enjoy about a 50% steering increase
Get the mn168 as you will love it
Love the big, dramatic musical score to a toy truck with a plastic guy standing on the flat bed. 😆
Nice to see the coil front (predominantly) leaf on the rear and 5 lug rims. Marks for attention to specification. And yeah, watching 70 series on the tracks, the suspension isn't great, they are very awkward.
Just ordered one for 32 bucks with free shipping, figured having a little trail truck for the summer instead of my smaller 24 and 18 rigs

Given that this is 1/16 not 1/12 as advertised, that means that you could upgrade it with WPL v3 electronics and metal parts.
Yes, I think that would work good. Although I think MN do their own axels as well
@@TomleyRC there's even a portal axle haha

This performs better. I have the Jimny, and it’s underpowered. Good body though 👌
With some plate weight hidden around it, it would have some potential for sure. That's hard to beat for $50!
That price point is incredible. It leaves you room to spend on any upgrades you want.
love the look and yes it performs better than the low price suggests, nicely done
Very nice weathering, reminiscent of the Enduro Ecto.
It's a good truck, I put some wpl wheels with soft tyres on mine, but I'm waiting for my metal upgrade kit to arrive. 😊
Your content has convinced me you dont have to spend a ton of money on an RC car to have a ton of fun building and driving it. I meam im still gonna buy expensive ones too, but now I'm looking at cheaper stuff too when I never did before.
Cheap can also get expensive, I think I spent 5x over in parts, tools and whatnot to upgrade this little guy hahahha
Axial scx24 can get expensive in upgrades, looking more into such, fixes any bad surprises
Maybe the weathering would have been easier while the paint was a little damp still? Still looks pretty sweet. Would be more of a display model for me rather than an RC I would plan on actually using.
MN128.......worth a look too....great scale train truck

Love the COBRA emblem on the ammo can.

Thx
Loved the drivers and weathered look. The crooked license plate tied everything together 😆

Your new look is great, the chrome needs some weathering though to match.
change the esc if possible and relocate the battery and it might make it slightly better . that being said it looks good
Yeah, electronics upgrade would be a good for sure
Looks awesome. Love that your getting into 3d printing very exciting.
Congrats for 1000vids Phil🍾🎉🥳
Thanks dude!
Continue like this, im a big fan and live your vids, their are original and not with 2k rc to have fun. Keep un the work, you deserve more subscribers
Bruh was for phil not ya
This is a very good review. It looks good and I liked your apocalyptic version.
Yes, that was the idea
Good job! The only problem I have found with plastic is the weight balance and the winding of hollow parts.
What is the range, direct and indirect?
Have waited for this review for so long, finally it's here!
The weakness of this RC is that the chassis is plastic so that if you look at it from the side there is a body curve that forms. between the tailgate and the cabin looks bent... the rest is very good...
yeah mate, prefer that camera angle
Looks even better in the black!
It has the same gearbox as the MN78 which is a favorite of mine. The motor is weakish but still capable. You can find a motor adapter plate to install a 370 motor in it.
This one drives better than the MN78, new ESC/receiver combo with a more capable driver IC
Now upgrade it. Kinda cool that it has leaf springs.
It's closer in scale to the new Toyota IMV0(aka Mini-Hilux), Toyota's new $12k truck
You did a good job on the painting Phil. Looks good
Cheers dude
Can you do video about the new yk4106 g wagon
Is the big new project the new Cross RC post apocalypse truck/ train/ missile launcher 8x8x8???? That thing looks awesome!!!
The first thing I thought when you took it out the box was, same colour as his Hilux. Your work on this little truck looks prettyt cool.

Looks cool! You definitely made it way cooler!! And all of us Americans like big 50 cals!! But Labron driving?? Hmmm
I love that you get unusual stuff in to review, top job!
The new camera angle is good but over head angle is best
Finally you review for MN82. Is been a while I waiting for it since on early January. Great custom paint and I like the 3D print Gun.. 😅
Great job Phil, what an awesome build! Just goes to show how you can make a cheap RC vehicle really cool inexpensively!
Fun build and cheap. I definitely like the Landcruiser over the Hylux pickup as well.
Wheel n tire change it’s not that bad. Headlight color looks good. Still on the toy grade side
But the chinese makes all metal parts for it, except the frame...for now lol
And, as per usual, upon viewing this review .....I now want one of these !
you need to review there new one the MN82S its the same truck but with a cab on the back!!!!
I would love if they could release a dual cab model too
257$ in Australia 😢🤦🏻like everything is so much here what sucks
I have also made this mn82 body dull because of the weather
I like the new camera angle :)
Wow when is this due out? As it’s not on MN Models webpage? I’ve got 2 MN99s, ( Landrover Defender ) One hard top & another pickup style.
I’ve had to do a few simple mods to make it run / steer better, but for the prices they ain’t bad as a starter crawler. I do wanna get the MN86 ( G wagon ) Daniel.
My RC trucks look weatherd just from me driving them all the time 😅 I saw that Fox sticker on your Toyota , looks good
I bought one and same color and it just arrived but the box of my MN is like a trash i dont really know what happen to the box😂
Thought you were gonna spin the box a couple more times!!! lol! Great review. Love the honesty.
Cool truck, nice job on the paint!🎉
I'd like to get the earlier model LandCruiser and recreate the scene from Paco Pomet's painting 'internacional'.
I'd love more on the mn82
Great video, love the black. Is the modulation identical to the mn78?
Nice look. After all said and done. Can't bear the price. Thx. for the review. ✌️👍
Very cool little rig.
Most awesome paint job keep doing what you do thank you
Looks absolutely great 👍🏻
Cheers dude
Looks a similar size to the wpl c14. Is that a fair comparison of size?
