oh wow that's manic! a very hyperactive car, and nicely modified. You do awesome mods and make cool creations, very factory looking... just *better*. Love the camera work too 👍⛅
Yes - I was just thinking that I like the the camera work; I think it's because he moves the camera quite frequently, sites it nice and low, and gives us the occasional bit of POV footage.
The stock shocks, while primitive {they're just springs} offer a lot of articulation and the resulting bounciness just adds realism. Your shock mod seems wholly appropriate for a hyper-speed D90 that jumps and takes spills though.
Thank you very much, really glad you like it! Yes, the gears change through a separate miniservo, that is supplied with the gearbpx, if you buy a WPL 2-speed gearbox. So you need a 3-channel radio to controll it, the gears change with channel 3. 😊😊
Nice rig! I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing. Wanted to add my 2 pennies worth to the debate around the noisy gear mesh. I think you have the grease covered but as others mentioned the mesh in the gearbox doesn't seem quite right. It may seem non adjustable but there are things you can do to adjust it, you could try different sized pinion gears and also you can physically move the motor position a mm or 2 in any direction it might just need to come back a hair also check the angle between the out put shaft and the gearbox that could also affect it. It's a very nice build with normal teathing issues (no pun intended) I am sure you will figure it 👍
Thank you for commenting and also for good advice. The gearbox actually became less noisy the more I drove the car, but i decided to examine the gearbox to see what I would find. Here is the result: ruclips.net/video/AGFCfHLWyEI/видео.html
Hello, sorry for late reply! If you have the same setup = 4500 kv brushless + WPL 2-speed gearbox, you should not have cogging problems if the motor is good. Maybe you have a faster motor, 5000 kv or more, that could cause cogging, at least if you start in high gear. The 4500 kv will also cog if you have a higher gearing than the WPL 2-speed. So: Not too high kv on the motor and not to high gearing in the gearbox, that´s the only advice I can give. 🤓🤓
Hello! Yes a 2-speed gearbox deliver both more torque and speed as it has a low and a high gear. To install it is rather simple: Remove the body off the chassis to access the motor/gearbox unit. Remove 3 screws on each side of the unit. Put the 2-speed motor/gearbox unit there and mount with the same 3 screws on each side. BUT, and that´s a big BUT, you also need to change the radio/esc equipment as you need a 3-channel radio to control the gearshift. That also means you can´t use the standard lights, with turnsignals, backlight and so, that I guess you have on your 99S. You also must change the driveshafts as, if I remenber right, the standard driveshafts are fixed to the gearbox and front/rear axles. An easier way to get more torque is, as I se it, to mount a single speed metal gearbox with 370 motor. It fits right into the chassis and I´m sure you can just plug it into the stock radio/esc unit. You still have to replace the driveshafts though. Link to a singlespeed gearbox that will fit: www.banggood.com/sv/search/all-metal-gearbox-wpl.html?from=nav
@@_.hondziarz._2203 Yes, I guess you can, if you make some kind of lever or tool to lock it in low gear. Hopefully the stock MN esc is powerful enough to feed the 370 motor that comes with the 2-speed box, but there´s no guarantee... I enclose a link to the 2-speed gearbox where you can se how it looks. If I remember right the coilspring on the gearshift rod keeps it in high gear, so you must invent a way to lock it in low gear. www.wpl-rc.com/products/dual-speed-gearbox
It's the stock lenses that I painted yellow from the inside. Just take the plastic grill off and the headlights will come apart, it´s quite easy to do! 😊😊
hi! just started in rc and this was really helpful and inspiring for me to start modifying it in performance instead of aesthetics. may i know what are the things that i need to buy in order to successfully convert mine into a brushless one? first time playing with the performance so kinda scared to destroy it
Hello! Thank you for watching and commenting and for your interest! It sounds like you have bought an MN 99s or similar car. To convert into brushless you need to buy some stuff, that´s clear... You need a brushless motor with esc and a radio to control it (the stock radio equipment does not work with brushless). I use a WPL 2-speed gearbox, which I would recommend, for both low and high speed performance. To control the gearbox the radio must have at least 3 channels. I have replaced the plastic gears with metal ones. You also need to replace the plastic driveshafts with metal ones. The stock lighting with turn signals and reverse lights will not work with a new radio so you must replace it also, if you want lighting on the car. All this will cost you a little more than the car itself... If you are into the hobby for a while you can use the radio to control several cars - I control 4 to 6 cars with the same transmitter and several receivers, which holds the cost down. Here are links to equipment that is usable to convert the car.

Hello! Thank you for watching my video! I haven´t made a tutorial myself, but I found this from another hobbyist that I think is very good and informative. In the video he says that he heated the pinion to be able to take it off and to mount it on the new motor. And that is, in my experience, necessary. I use a small gas torch gun for this. Be careful to not heat the motor, just the brass pinion! It´s a little tricky but it works. Link to the video: ruclips.net/video/TXJQvaqBaRg/видео.html
Well, some gearboxes make more noise than others, you don´t always know exactly why. This one became more quiet the more I drove the car. Then I also took it apart and gave the gears more grease, which reduced the noise but didn´t make it silent.
It´s possible, but it may also be a matter of running in It is not so loud any more now when it has been driven a couple of battery packs. Anyway I´m going to replace the plastic gears with metal ones. We´ll see what it sounds like after that modification. I´ve done it in another gearbox and that one is rather quiet!😎
@@Georgieframe I'd love to swap mine out for metal ones at somepoint also but the plastic ones have held up so far and I've got a fresh motor still in the bag ready if it does break down so I won't be waiting without anything to drive in the meantime 😅 made that mistake before
@@Georgieframe may sound like a silly question but does wpl sell the gear set needed for 2spd transmission as I would like to keep that installed or if needed to change then I'd front mount 370 motor standalone with metal gears installed
@@maxbuckley9762 WPL only sell complete 2-speed gearboxes with plastic gears and 370 motor, as far as I can se on the website. The metal gears I have bought is branded RBR/C and comes with a black 370 motor that is much faster than the motor from WPL. I have bought it from Banggood: www.banggood.com/WPL-1Set-Original-Metal-Gears-With-370-Motor-For-Speed-Change-Gear-Box-B1-B24-B16-B36-C24-1-or-16-4WD-6WD-Rc-Car-p-1476281.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN
Thank you very much! The gearbox is quite well greased, but maybe it´s the wrong sort of grease. I also have a set of metal gears to put in. They work quiet in another gearbox so they might also be more quiet in this... 😎
Yes, maybe. It sounds to me like the pinion is making the noise. It works fine but some day I´m going to take it apart and try to silence it with grease and, if necessary, another pinion. 😎
@@Georgieframe love your work though, especially the shocks, genius! Can you tell me if the stock esc works with the new motor setup or does it need an upgrade too?
@@richardmayo6076 This new motor is brushless so it needs a brushless esc. I bought motor and esc as a combo, they are often sold that way. This also means you need another radio to control the esc. When using a 2-speed gearbox the radio must have three channels, where the third channel shifts the gears.
@@Georgieframe thanks Georgie, not sure which route to take as starting to get quite expensive with all the new kit!😂 You said in another post that these models will work with a 3s, I’m just after more speed so maybe the way to go although don’t want to burn the esc out!
@@richardmayo6076 Yes, there are lots to think about! Another thing I didn´t mention: If you have a MN99s with all the lighting with turn signals and back light you can´t use that either with another radio. So even more to think about... 🤔
Hello! The stock esc does not work with brushless stuff. I use a 3 channel radio from Austar and bought a Racerstar 2838 motor and esc combo from Banggood. This one: www.banggood.com/Racerstar-2838-Sensorless-Waterproof-Motor-3600-or-4500KV-35A-ESC-For-1-or-12-1-or-14-Cars-p-1056318.html?cur_warehouse=CN&ID=518005&rmmds=search

Link: www.wpl-rc.com/collections/metal-upgrade/products/dual-speed-gearbox The steering servo is WPL metal gear servo. Link: www.wpl-rc.com/products/17g-dmg-servo For control I use Austar AX5s. Link: www.ebay.com/itm/183821904269 Thank you for your interest!
Thank you very much for watching and subscribing! This gearbox has plastic gears. It´s possible to swap to metal gears, I have done it in one gearbox, but the plastic gears are strong and usually do the job very well. The motor is a Racerstar 2435 4500 kv with 25 amp esc. I bought it from banggood: www.banggood.com/Racerstar-2435-Waterproof-Brushless-Sensorless-Motor-45004800KV-25A-ESC-For-116-118-RC-Car-p-1069989.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN
Hello! These are the stock wheels but they are widened. The tyre diameter is 77 millimeters and the rims (stock) are 24 millimeters wide. I have glued 3/4 of a WPL rim to each wheel, which adds 12 mm and makes them 36 mm wide.
Hello! The gears in this gearbox are plastic, but you´re right, they needed grease. I´vre fixed it now, like this: ruclips.net/video/AGFCfHLWyEI/видео.html
I've got the same model and I'm trying to kick it out I just got some new lights for it but I'm trying to get a brushless motor that will fit and from what I see you've done great I also need to put soldering wire around the tire rim to keep the weight down low like RC sparks says
Thank you very much for watching! With the WPL 2-speed gearbox on the car it´s rather easy to fit a brushless motor. Mine is 4500 kv and it works well. Another easy alternative is to mount a 2-speed gearbox, keep the stock 370 motor and run it with 3s lipo. A third alternative is to use the black RBR/C high speed brushed motor that comes with the metal gear set you can buy for the 2-speed gearbox. That motor comes with pinion mounted for an instant change of motors.😎
Este é o combo motor/esc que coloquei: www.banggood.com/Racerstar-2435-Waterproof-Brushless-Sensorless-Motor-45004800KV-25A-ESC-For-116-118-RC-Car-p-1069989.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN
Hello! Link for the gearbox: www.wpl-rc.com/products/dual-speed-gearbox?_pos=1&_sid=44083ef98&_ss=r Link for the motor: www.banggood.com/Racerstar-2435-Waterproof-Brushless-Sensorless-Motor-45004800KV-25A-ESC-For-116-118-RC-Car-p-1069989.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN&ID=518005 You can take the gear from the brushed 370 motor that comes with the gearbox and mount it on the brushless motor. The easiest way to do it is to heat the gear up, both when you take it off the brushed motor and when you put in on the brushless one. The brushless motor fits good on the gearbox. Good luck! 😎
im so glad im not the only one to mount the servo on axle, i used an old fishing hook box and superglue tho so nowhere near as elegant. edit: forgot to ask, anyone have a link for the gearbox and the gubbins needed for it?
Thank you very much for commenting! You´re not alone, servo on axle is a huge benefit compared to the stock frame mounted! This is, I think, the best place to buy WPL 2-speed gearbox: www.wpl-rc.com/collections/metal-upgrade/products/dual-speed-gearbox
@@Numbertwo22 Yes, you ned a 3 channel radio - third channel for shifting gears - and an esc. WPL sells the RES V3, radio, esc and soundcontroller all in one. Thats an easy solution if you want to use the stuff on just one car. I prefer using a separate radio and esc, that way you can change only esc if there´s any problem with it and with a 40 or 60 amps esc you can use 3 s lipo = more speed. Many radios also allows binding to more than one reciever so you can buy extra receivers and use the same radiotransmitter to control more than one car. I use my transmitters to control two to seven cars each. Saves space on the shelf! The downside with using separate receiver and esc is that it takes up more space in the car though!
This was the first drive with the brushless setup and maybe it needed a little running in. It´s not as noisy now when I have been driving it some time. I have compared it to my MN45 that has similar gearbox and a brushed highspeed motor and the 45 makes more noise. It´s the whising kind of noise that sounds normal for this sort of gearbox, but it is actually louder than the 99. The mesh in the gearbox is fixed, so there´s no way to adjust it. 😎
I use the 2 speed gearbox sold by WPL, that fits most of their cars. The gears are shifted with a micro servo, that comes with the gearbox, so you need a 3-channel radio to operate it. I use this brushless motor/esc combo: www.banggood.com/Racerstar-2435-Waterproof-Brushless-Sensorless-Motor-45004800KV-25A-ESC-For-116-118-RC-Car-p-1069989.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN
Hello! 2-speed is a gearbox with high and low gear, just like on a real car - though a real car usually has 4, 5 or 6 gears. This one have 2. You need a radio with 3 channels, where the 3:rd channel shifts the gears. WPL sells 2-speed gearboxes complete with motor. They work good!
@@awiennubis The standard 260 motor on the MN99 has a 10T pinion. I use the WPL 2 speed gearbox in which the motor has a very small 8T pinion. I don´t think it´s possible to change any of them to a different size!😎
Hello! Glad you are interested in my build! These are the parts I have bought for it. Modifying the chassis and mounting the servo on axle doesn´t need any specific parts more than some pieces of metal, screws and rivets.

Tutoral for installing the 4500kv motor with 2speed gearbox please🥺
Hello! Thank you for watching my video! I haven´t made a tutorial myself, but I found this from another hobbyist that I think is very good and informative. In the video he says that he heated the pinion to be able to take it off and to mount it on the new motor. And that is, in my experience, necessary. I use a small gas torch gun for this. Be careful to not heat the motor, just the brass pinion! It´s a little tricky but it works. Link to the video: ruclips.net/video/TXJQvaqBaRg/видео.html
Same gearbox noise on my singlespeed
Well, some gearboxes make more noise than others, you don´t always know exactly why. This one became more quiet the more I drove the car. Then I also took it apart and gave the gears more grease, which reduced the noise but didn´t make it silent.
Ohhh them gears sound so crunchy
Definitely need some greace
It´s possible, but it may also be a matter of running in It is not so loud any more now when it has been driven a couple of battery packs. Anyway I´m going to replace the plastic gears with metal ones. We´ll see what it sounds like after that modification. I´ve done it in another gearbox and that one is rather quiet!😎
@@Georgieframe I'd love to swap mine out for metal ones at somepoint also but the plastic ones have held up so far and I've got a fresh motor still in the bag ready if it does break down so I won't be waiting without anything to drive in the meantime 😅 made that mistake before
@@Georgieframe may sound like a silly question but does wpl sell the gear set needed for 2spd transmission as I would like to keep that installed or if needed to change then I'd front mount 370 motor standalone with metal gears installed
@@maxbuckley9762 WPL only sell complete 2-speed gearboxes with plastic gears and 370 motor, as far as I can se on the website. The metal gears I have bought is branded RBR/C and comes with a black 370 motor that is much faster than the motor from WPL. I have bought it from Banggood: www.banggood.com/WPL-1Set-Original-Metal-Gears-With-370-Motor-For-Speed-Change-Gear-Box-B1-B24-B16-B36-C24-1-or-16-4WD-6WD-Rc-Car-p-1476281.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN
@@Georgieframe hey buddy thank you for this.. do you happen to know if this is a drop in mod I could do with the original transmission housing
👍👍👍👍👍
😊😊😊😊😊
Very nice 😉👍
Thank you very much!
Awesome video brother 👍🏻👍🏻
Just subbed ☺️ new friend here. Stay connected bro 🙂
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Great job it is like hobby grade now, maybe if you pack the gearbox with grease will be quiet 💡🙂👍
Thank you very much! The gearbox is quite well greased, but maybe it´s the wrong sort of grease. I also have a set of metal gears to put in. They work quiet in another gearbox so they might also be more quiet in this... 😎
@@Georgieframe Try automotive grease number 2
@@carloshnunez Thanks, I`ll keep it in mind!👍
That gear box wants some of that grease 😂
Yes, maybe. It sounds to me like the pinion is making the noise. It works fine but some day I´m going to take it apart and try to silence it with grease and, if necessary, another pinion. 😎
@@Georgieframe love your work though, especially the shocks, genius!
Can you tell me if the stock esc works with the new motor setup or does it need an upgrade too?
@@richardmayo6076 This new motor is brushless so it needs a brushless esc. I bought motor and esc as a combo, they are often sold that way. This also means you need another radio to control the esc. When using a 2-speed gearbox the radio must have three channels, where the third channel shifts the gears.
@@Georgieframe thanks Georgie, not sure which route to take as starting to get quite expensive with all the new kit!😂
You said in another post that these models will work with a 3s, I’m just after more speed so maybe the way to go although don’t want to burn the esc out!
@@richardmayo6076 Yes, there are lots to think about! Another thing I didn´t mention: If you have a MN99s with all the lighting with turn signals and back light you can´t use that either with another radio. So even more to think about... 🤔
did you upgrade electronics? Does the stock ESC works with brushless motor upgrade?
Hello! The stock esc does not work with brushless stuff. I use a 3 channel radio from Austar and bought a Racerstar 2838 motor and esc combo from Banggood. This one: www.banggood.com/Racerstar-2838-Sensorless-Waterproof-Motor-3600-or-4500KV-35A-ESC-For-1-or-12-1-or-14-Cars-p-1056318.html?cur_warehouse=CN&ID=518005&rmmds=search

Thank you for your interest!
A very nice modification! The car has power !! Are the gears in the gearbox metal? what exactly is the engine ?? SUB!!!
Thank you very much for watching and subscribing! This gearbox has plastic gears. It´s possible to swap to metal gears, I have done it in one gearbox, but the plastic gears are strong and usually do the job very well. The motor is a Racerstar 2435 4500 kv with 25 amp esc. I bought it from banggood: www.banggood.com/Racerstar-2435-Waterproof-Brushless-Sensorless-Motor-45004800KV-25A-ESC-For-116-118-RC-Car-p-1069989.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN
@@Georgieframe Thank you very much for your response! I will try to do the same at home. Greetings!
@@fpvfx Your'e welcome, good luck! Feel free to ask questions if you have any!😊😊
@@Georgieframe Thanks man!!
What size is the stock wheel on this truck?
Hello! These are the stock wheels but they are widened. The tyre diameter is 77 millimeters and the rims (stock) are 24 millimeters wide. I have glued 3/4 of a WPL rim to each wheel, which adds 12 mm and makes them 36 mm wide.
Mantap bang 👍👍👍
Terima kasih banyak, senang sekali Anda menyukainya! 😊😊
I would think it jst needs grease for the gears...cuz aren't they metal??
Hello! The gears in this gearbox are plastic, but you´re right, they needed grease. I´vre fixed it now, like this: ruclips.net/video/AGFCfHLWyEI/видео.html
I've got the same model and I'm trying to kick it out I just got some new lights for it but I'm trying to get a brushless motor that will fit and from what I see you've done great I also need to put soldering wire around the tire rim to keep the weight down low like RC sparks says
Thank you very much for watching! With the WPL 2-speed gearbox on the car it´s rather easy to fit a brushless motor. Mine is 4500 kv and it works well. Another easy alternative is to mount a 2-speed gearbox, keep the stock 370 motor and run it with 3s lipo. A third alternative is to use the black RBR/C high speed brushed motor that comes with the metal gear set you can buy for the 2-speed gearbox. That motor comes with pinion mounted for an instant change of motors.😎
the shaft sounds loud because the shaft angle is too curved due to absorber modification. The shaft too stress
Thank you for your input on the noise problem. Sooner or later I will try to solve it...

You can take the gear from the brushed 370 motor that comes with the gearbox and mount it on the brushless motor. The easiest way to do it is to heat the gear up, both when you take it off the brushed motor and when you put in on the brushless one. The brushless motor fits good on the gearbox. Good luck! 😎
im so glad im not the only one to mount the servo on axle, i used an old fishing hook box and superglue tho so nowhere near as elegant.
edit: forgot to ask, anyone have a link for the gearbox and the gubbins needed for it?
Thank you very much for commenting! You´re not alone, servo on axle is a huge benefit compared to the stock frame mounted! This is, I think, the best place to buy WPL 2-speed gearbox: www.wpl-rc.com/collections/metal-upgrade/products/dual-speed-gearbox
@@Georgieframe cheers for the link, i cant believe its so inexpensive : D
i assume ill need a new esc and radio for the gearbox though right?
@@Numbertwo22 Yes, you ned a 3 channel radio - third channel for shifting gears - and an esc. WPL sells the RES V3, radio, esc and soundcontroller all in one. Thats an easy solution if you want to use the stuff on just one car. I prefer using a separate radio and esc, that way you can change only esc if there´s any problem with it and with a 40 or 60 amps esc you can use 3 s lipo = more speed. Many radios also allows binding to more than one reciever so you can buy extra receivers and use the same radiotransmitter to control more than one car. I use my transmitters to control two to seven cars each. Saves space on the shelf! The downside with using separate receiver and esc is that it takes up more space in the car though!
@@Georgieframe cheers mate you're a legend :D
I appreciate all the help n advice, i got everything coming now to make a mini monster truck
@@Numbertwo22 OK, glad I can help! Good luck with creating your mini monster truck!😊
Have you adjusted the motor or gears in the gearbox? Sounds like the gear mesh is too tight.
This was the first drive with the brushless setup and maybe it needed a little running in. It´s not as noisy now when I have been driving it some time. I have compared it to my MN45 that has similar gearbox and a brushed highspeed motor and the 45 makes more noise. It´s the whising kind of noise that sounds normal for this sort of gearbox, but it is actually louder than the 99. The mesh in the gearbox is fixed, so there´s no way to adjust it. 😎
How does 2speed works on the gearbox? And what kind of brushless motor you put? Or just 3300kv with 50mm length?
I use the 2 speed gearbox sold by WPL, that fits most of their cars. The gears are shifted with a micro servo, that comes with the gearbox, so you need a 3-channel radio to operate it. I use this brushless motor/esc combo: www.banggood.com/Racerstar-2435-Waterproof-Brushless-Sensorless-Motor-45004800KV-25A-ESC-For-116-118-RC-Car-p-1069989.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN
Hey dude, Im just getting started with rc cars, I know what Single speed is but is 2 speed like "variable speed"?
Hello! 2-speed is a gearbox with high and low gear, just like on a real car - though a real car usually has 4, 5 or 6 gears. This one have 2. You need a radio with 3 channels, where the 3:rd channel shifts the gears. WPL sells 2-speed gearboxes complete with motor. They work good!
What Is the kV of this brushless motor ??
It´s 4500 kv! 😊😊
You can change 12T
How do you mean?
@@Georgieframe change pinion 12T
@@awiennubis OK! I understand. But I´m not sure if it´s possible. The pinion for this gearbox have only 8T and the motor has fixed position!
@@Georgieframe I've had that problem..trying to change 10T @ 12T
@@awiennubis The standard 260 motor on the MN99 has a 10T pinion. I use the WPL 2 speed gearbox in which the motor has a very small 8T pinion. I don´t think it´s possible to change any of them to a different size!😎
If you list your parts that would be great 😂
Hello! Glad you are interested in my build! These are the parts I have bought for it. Modifying the chassis and mounting the servo on axle doesn´t need any specific parts more than some pieces of metal, screws and rivets.
