Talking Trucks Ep4: Meus Racing 1.9" Wheels
As you may have seen, I've previously struggled to find some suitable wheels for the Mashigan project. This is a verrrrrry slow project, so I've been happy to wait until I found the right thing.
I was surfing around looking for things that I really don't need to buy when I spotted these Meus Racing wheels. I got in touch with Meus and they agreed to send me a set to build, review and use on the Mashigan.
I have to say, these are nice as any wheels I have seen from any other manufacturer. They're great quality and they're also very clever because you can build them in eight, yes EIGHT, different ways to give you a different offset.
If you want to get yourself some of these, then have a look at your local stockists or check out these links (Some of these are affiliate links that will earn RC Pie a small commission to help the channel)

This was an awesome day in a beautiful location with some tricky terrain to overcome and a test of endurance for the trucks. Threadlock is your friend when you're driving for 6 hours on rocky paths. It was a lot of fun and I have to say a huge thanks to Haydn for organising the day. I decided to drive my MN999 to see how well my budget beast would keep up with the upgraded TRX4s and other price...

We had a look at it on the table and it looked very pretty. We had a look at it on the trail and it looked very pretty but slightly disappointing. But what will it be like on the rocks? I got the rocks back out onto the lawn and set the Intruder to the task. I wasn't expecting it to do very well after the trail run but I still hoped that it might surprise me... let's see!

We had a look at it on the table and it looked very pretty but what will it be like out on the trail? I took the Intruder into my local woods where I tend to do all my first drives. It was damp but not wet, so the roots were slippery but rocks were dry. I was very interested to see what these tyres were going to cope with. The next tests will be on the rocks. So, if you want to see how it perfo...

It got stuck in Hong Kong for three weeks but finally made it. Long anticipated but is it worth the wait? There's a lot of interest and a lot to like about this truck. The body is stunning. The chassis is different for a trail crawler. The tyres are new. The branding & licensing is confusing. The price is keen. The radio is new. The tyre-size is puzzling.

After the rain of the first run, I wanted to get back out even if it was just for a little bit of rock action. I didn't get long but I did have a lot of fun and I started to see why Venture fans have told me that it s a good rig. The jury might be out on the body but the rig itself feels pretty good. I think the tyres and ESC are probably going to be changed soon and I might change the battery ...

Looks like a great day, awesome rigs!
I foundthe lambi run much better outdoors than indoors tho i got some funny looks 😅😂
What surface were you driving on? I wouldn't have thought it would have the clearance for much.
Oioi RC lovers this ram raider looks cool 😎 hey up buddy nice video I like the look of that truck I'm gonna grab one I reckon. ❤ Cheers 🥂
Thanks, man. Bashers aren't my thing but it's pretty cool!
Great video. Just got the beige one today. Mine had the Toyta badge in the grill already installed...or it is actually part of the molded grill which is very nice because there is no chrome background making the logo stand out. Also mine has windscreen wipers. Cool that they seem to update the models
They look fantastic on the Mashigan
Yeah. So nice!
Those ARE really nice wheels!
They're pretty special, right?
They look awesome, there's a lot there for the money. I don't even own an rc, I just cannot decide what to start with, there's too much choice out there!
It's a tricky choice. Unless you buy rubbish, you'll enjoy whatever you get. My advice would be buy something that you like the look of because the real joy all stems from imagining you're inside it! If there's something you fancy and want to know whether it's decent, just ask.
Great classic look, and adjustable. 👍
Yeah, they're cool! 😎
What would be a better chassis that would fit this body ? Being dying to build be a Suzuki build then a Land Rover build after
I've seen one mounted on this chassis with great success: www.makeitbuildit.co.uk/products/ftx-outback-ranger-xc-pick-up-rtr-1-16-trail-crawler-yellow?ref=rc_pie
Would this Suzuki body fit on RGT LC71 chassis ( frame ) ??
No. The LC71 is HUUUUGE compared to the little Jimny.
Green injora inserts and different tires and I think it would make a huge difference // also can you upload a video on how the rig looks like with no bumper ?
You can't use this body without either bumper as both front and rear of the bodyshell attach directly to the bumpers.
@@rcpie unless we use a clip body correct ? To clip on to under the wheel wells
Yes, in theory, you could add bodyposts or another mounting system to the chassis and then modify the bodyshell to work with the new system. But I think the body would look a bit odd, to say the least. It'd be like a face without a lower jaw.
Green injora inserts and different tires and I think it would make a huge difference
I'm sure it would but I'm enjoying the (almost) stock truck up to now.
Toy panzer
That's right. Cool, isn't it?
@@rcpie it cool
Nice topic, like you mentioned, endless opportunities!
I'd forgotten about that video. Yeah, there's always a place to drive!
Nice footage, looks very realistic!
Thanks a lot. 😃
I have the Mega RC rock viper and they have the gladius FTX HAVE THEM THEY ARE THE SAME CARS AND I CANT FAULT IT I PUT DESERT LIZARD 90mm shocks and it’s a trx4 killer a have both and fir the price I’ll take one of these all day but not in the jeep body I have the pinched body
They're spectacular for the money. The plastic is a bit poor but you can't complain. Lots of people complain about the shocks but I think they're perfectly good.
Is it better than the Tracker, or Trooper even?
A very different beast. It will outperform the other two but I'd still recommend a Tracker out of the three. A better trail truck experience and much better quality. The Tracker is one of those rare trucks that never fails to please.
Are they good to drive in snow?
Not really. The ice crystals are too big and too strong. The tank isn't heavy or powerful enough to crush and displace the snow from the tracks and so it forces the tracks off.
Where can i buy this??
@osasunista8912 I'd recommend this version from this seller: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DCaf4wX
How a copy of the rick viper
Is it Never Gonna Give You Up? 🤣 It's not a copy, though. It's made by the same factory but rebranded. The one thing they are both more of a 'copy' of is the TRX4.
You add them yourslef?
The damage? Yes
It doesn't have enough straddle and break over angles to surmount the doorstop.
It's never going to be the most capable. Not bad for a cheapo tank, though!
Superbe mn999
Thanks! 😁
My guess is; the failsafe kept kicking in because you left the packing material around the TX antenna, and now the truck runs fine. (But noisy)
Packing material? You mean the white bit at the front? I'm pretty sure that's just the design of the transmitter.
Could I possibly repurpose my stock trx4 shocks on this rig ? Or apply dessert lizard shocks on it. I plan on getting it since my birthday is coming up may just pull the trigger now instead of waiting a couple of months lol
You could do but I wouldn't bother. The stock shocks are excellent and perfectly suited to the truck. Happy Birthday 🎂

Oh no! Have you tried Banggood?
Cheaper than SCX10 III RTR with portals 😂. And way better looking body.
Both of those are true but I think I'd take the Axial if you offered it to me!
Excellent, beautiful, amazing, nice, eeexcellent crawler!!! Congratulations!!! 🔥👏🏼🔝👌🏻😃👍🏻
Thanks! It sounds like you like it 🤣
When I got it everything was. Overtight needed striped and rebuild after was fantastic
The trouble with RTRs, sadly.
Great video - love the accessories. I'm going to get a 1/10 mtn bike for my son's crawler. He can't ride because of an injury - should be good for his spirits.
Great idea! They're a lovely accessory but they're quite heavy, so think carefully about where it might mount.
A very cool and Beautifull RGT in awesome Action 🎉!!!
Thanks Panda🐼. It's a lovely car and it was a surprisingly good run.
Indeed my Friend ❤! Panda Wife are looking for one of that
Did you just heat up the skirts and warp them by hand?
Yes, pretty much. Heat gun and some tools.
niiiice
Thanks! 😁
I bought the r8 instead of the aventador. Was it a good choice
The 1/24 scale like these? Or do you mean the larger ones like the Aventador in my other video?
SNAP, I have the same alloys, £14 from Amazon.! I'd have gotten more for that price but they were the last set.! Nice looking rig. Stay safe out there mate & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍
Not snap, Alan. These are Fastrax wheels that are about £50. I bought some of the others as well but there was a reason why I couldn't use them.. Can't remember why. All the best to everyone north of the border! 🇫🇴 ❤(I couldn't find the Saltire)
Oopps, tesco robbed me. I bought cmj rc car for £20.

Hello, this looked a great event,recently started R/C crawling,slowly upgrading parts on it.brilliant video.
Thanks a lot, Steven. Nice to hear that you've found the hobby. What are you driving?
@@rcpie ,driving a MN99s,totally different from stock now.
@@stevenjones19-m8i Cool. The MN99 is a great way into the crawling world. They're frustrating when hoping that upgrades will actually fit but there's a lot to be learnt through them.
Great video 😊
Thanks, Mark! 👍🏻 I hope you had a nice day.. you don't look especially happy in any of the shots you're in. RBF? 🤣
Thank you for sharing a great video with a great car!!! ~~~^_^😅😅😅
You're very welcome. I'm glad you liked it! 😃
Looks like a great place to drive the truck. How many battery packs do you go through on such a long trail and what size are they? What was the model of LR again? MN999? It seems a really capable truck. I'm still yet to build mt SCA-1E Rangey, only had it 18 months. I think it's time but I have 2 other rigs on the go too. Lol great vid thanks for sharing.
It's a wonderful place! I think I just got onto my third pack. They're 5200mAh 2S. Yes, it's an MN999 and it does pretty well with just a few mods. There's a link to buy one in the description. I was torn between driving this and my Rangey. It would have been more capable but I was curious to test this against the much more expensive rigs.

Yes. Quite an unexpected feature of the day. 🐸
Was hoping he’d stay in for the rest of the drive 🤣
@@Cursed_jimny_4x4uk I think it would have turned to jelly if it had ridden along on those rocky paths! 🤢
I'm actually quite impress with this new mn. It's such a big improvement to the mnd90. The body, the details is actually amazing. They finnaly imrpoved the hood closing too😂😂
The body is excellent but the chassis and suspension leave a lot to be desired.
@@rcpie I agree, I wish they made it 4 link instead of leaf springs
It did remarkably well bone stock from the box. A really nice truck. I have one, but the wife would kill me!! 😂
You'd better cover it in mud as soon as it arrives! 🤣

It looks like a well thought out, well designed, and well made truck. Love the red, too. 😎👍🏻
The red isn't half as good on the video. You have to see one to really get how pretty a colour it is.
Hi. Just found your channel, and this is the first video I've watched, so hi all. I've seen a couple of videos on this now, and it seems to have the ability to change people's minds. I'm a massive fan of FTX cars, and between my son and I, we have a Mauler, Kanyon, and a Paso in the crawler/trail truck range. I've also got a trx4 and 2 Carisma Coyotes. The Paso is probably the least capable out of the box. But the smiles per mile are brilliant. This looks like it would be the same, and a few simple mods would improve that performance. It's a lot more expensive than the Paso (I was lucky, finding 2, without shells, being sold by CML on ebay for £150!!), but it looks great. It'll be interesting to see the performance on rocks, as the tall body and spare on the back won't do it any favours. 👍🏻
Hi Rob, I'm glad you've found us. 😁 Sounds like you've got a nice little garage there but I'm saying nothing about the Kanyon. 🙄 I know what you mean about the Paso; some cars just make you smile whilst some are capable but somehow very dull. I have a few simple mods in mind, so watch this space. Let me know what you think on the rock test video.
@@rcpie yeah, the Kanyon has so many issues. I picked mine up for £30, and it had most of the mods already done. I just got a new body, cut it and the cage so it's a single cab, and my son saw it, and it's his now. He loves it, so that's me happy. 😇
