Custom MN 168 Range Rover WPL Hybrid with Full Upgrades
This MN 168 is now a full WPL Hybrid. Taking the best engineered running gear parts and fitting them into the amazing looking new MN with the aim of improving the scale dynamics and ridding the car of the awful cartoonish carachuture looks it was supplied with.
It is now fitted with a WPL Metal axle kit. The WPL axles were chosen because of the slightly narrower track.
These have been fitted to the chassis with a WPL ball ends adjustable link kit, with fabricated longer M3 link rods to suit the longer MN wheelbase.
I currently have a WPL two speed fitted, but this does hang quite low and limits break over angle. I intend to swap this for either the new WPL counter rotating 370 single speed, or the old design 370 single speed supplied with the C34KM.
The shocks are those supplied with the MN, they work very nicely but do have quite a short throw. I'm bewildered why MN designed these with plain mountings. I converted the axle end using a WPL rod ends, and made a flexible bush mounting from silicone tube to the chassis. The shocks are mounted to the chassis with custom made CNC cut GRP mounts that I designed to give some adjustability to the ride height.
The wheels are my own design 3D prints. The file for these is available on my Thingiverse - link below. Tyres are those supplied as upgrades to the LDRC Unimog.
I wasn't happy with the way the stock MN electrics worked with the WPL two speed. The electric speed limiting of the MN transmitter/receiver maintained that with the two speed in low range, so it severely lacked power. The electronics have been swapped out for a Flysky Tx/Rx set and 1060 ESC.

Scale Modified 1/12 MN 168 Range Rover
zhlédnutí 2KPřed měsícem
The MN168 Range Rover has been modified by swapping the stock portal axles for MN straight axles from an MN82. The lowered the ride height and was a first step towards a more scale looking appearance. The replacement axles moved the wheel fitting to standard 5mm hex allowing the use of a 3DP wheel that I had previously created for this type of RC. The wheels are nominally 1.3" and the visible d...

Ohh yeah, very cool Range Rover ! 🚙🏆🤓
are you cleaning up those prints or do you just have a really good printer?
They are resin prints rather than FDM, so that is pretty much as they come off the printer.

What the figure inside? Did you cut the leg? Please tell me. Thanks before
@@alfi386 Hi there, it is a 5.5" figure from the old British TV series Primeval. They are not made anymore but can be found on UK eBay. The right leg was removed at the knee.
wpl初心者です! タイヤをマネさせて頂きたいのですが詳細教えてもらえませんか?
I think they also make the same portals but for the MN82 but with 5mm hex, I just ordered for my MN82, will see if they fit
Hi I've got one the same and preferred your wheels were did you get them please are you still on portal axles regards phil
@@westrayskiffman Hi Phil, this one is quite a way from stock. It has WPL straight axles fitted in place of the MN portals - this requires swapping to WPL trusses also. My other one is swapped to MN straight axles. The MN axles are wider than the WPL ones. This truck has the wide version of my 3D printed wheel design, but the MN version has to use a more stock width wheel. Even then the track width is still too wide. To get the wheels you would have to either print them yourself or find someone locally who would print them for you. The files are linked in the video description along with some other details of the build.
scaled.....🎉🎉🎉
Looks great. I also decided to make such disks, bought rubber, but with disks a question arose. What disk do you use in this video? In the archive there are 3 files for 3D printing, all of different widths. Which file did you use?
These are the Stock version, not the narrower version. When I drew and named the narrow version I don't know I was going to create this one. Narrow is only 1mm different to the original file. For this look it is the Stock file you want.
@@smallscaleadventures And there is also a version "stock v2" and it is much narrower than the other two. Use Version 2 or just wide version 1?
@@lexxanplay This video has these: WPL_MN_Range_Rover_Rostyle_Stock_v2.stl
@@smallscaleadventures Great, I understand you. And how did you remove the pillar-like supports (which are on the stock V2 version)?
@@lexxanplay I resin print, so the thin section of those supports just break off. Its a hang over from when i used to design my prints to print flat off the back of the wheel.
Good work... Looks way better
What front lights are fitted please? Link?
They are the spot lights from a WPL C74. I cut the original brackets off and bolted them through the grill. Unfortunately they could not be illuminated mounted in this way, but I never bother with lights on my rigs anyway so it's no bother to me.
Is the cage 3d printed?
Bent and soldered from brass rod.
Oh wow i didnt know you could pop the roof off, thank you for showing that detail. I am sold! Gotta get one
how do i make my A with the hole bc theyr solid
Sorry, I've got no idea what you are asking.
Hi mate any chance some information I've got 2002 demio love out some coilovers on just not sure which ones fit without to much stress Scott 😀😀
Hi there, pretty sure they were MK2 Golf coil overs I used. The mounting holes in the lower two bolt fixings needed slotting to fit the Mazda knuckle.
@@smallscaleadventures legend appreciate 💪💪💪💪💯nice one for replying
Thank you, this guide helped me to finish it like a breeze.
Thanks for commenting! Glad I was able to help.
Very nice
I have both of them. Both are awesome and so much fun. My boss actually had me order one for himself
Isn't it funny how this company is so much better then wpl
@@mikemangiameli561 I think they are a different thing to WPL hence the separate branding. I don't know how one thing being better than the other is valid or relevant.
Nice rig and video 🔥👍
Nice ride man !
Thanks!
Hello, just wanna check are you using the V1 metal sprocket for this video?
Yeah, could have been, maybe even a pre-production version, there were some changes prior to the main run but I can't remember what they were. Sorry.
Sik. Mine will be in mail this week. Between temu and Aliexpress and there prices im going broke
So beautyful, where can i get this rims/wheels please?
Thanks, there links to the 3DP wheels file and information about the other parts used in the build in the video description.
Please read through the video description for details of the upgrades and improvements.
What tires and wheels do you use?
Hi there, the tyres are the WPL V4's that come with the car. The wheels are my own design 3D Prints - You can use the files for free, they are on my Thingiverse. www.thingiverse.com/thing:6395624
Great work. RR looks excellent. I stuck with the MN metal axles. As you say they are wider. I had to compensate with the offset of the wheels.
@@RC3DPrintAdventure Thanks, yours looks great to. I will always go to some lengths to be able to fit a dishy wheel :-)
@@smallscaleadventures Your wheels look excellent. I will check those out for my next MN168...😁.
What is the size of the figure on the vehicle? Do you remove the legs again?
@@user-ob8ic2oi6z I think the figures are described as 5.5". They are from the old British TV series Primeval. Because of the shape of the interior the inside leg of the figure needed to be removed.
Thank you
I've been playing around with motors for the stock MN78 using an aluminum transmission with metal gears. Sometimes the available options get overwhelming. Thank you for the in depth build list. It gives me hope!
I got the one with bearings and the studs sits loosely inside and the gears rattles, the other one is an identical replica to the plastic one, blows my mind since you have metal on metal contact lol, plastic is self lubricating but aluminum is not 😂
Looks great, also the video is very nice👏👏
Muito bom o vídeo amigo está bem realista 😍🤩👏👏👍👍
Check out the video description for information about the build and links to the products used.
Awesome build and video mate 😊
Looking good. I like these. I just wish I wasn't so invested in 20 other platforms!
Cheers man, my collection is a lot less diverse than yours so there's always plenty of cross compatibility. I knew I had to have these bits of 70's British tin in it when they appeared.
That looks absolutely incredible, great work 👏🏻
Thanks man!
Muy chulos Mark, estoy deseando tener el mío...... Que tal una prueba más dura? Zona de rocas?
They would probably perform better on more technical rocky terrain as stock, they would just look a lot less good doing so. These aren't really built for that sort of thing.
Very cool👍
Looks very nice now🤩👏👍😍 and the music choice is also 😍😍🥰
