- Here's the MN99 from MN Models. This is their best RC so far. Fully proportional, big battery, soft tyres, metal gears, bigger motor, and ready to run!

This impressed me and I just say, it's a big step up for MN Models. The MN90 was 'Ok', the MN77 was bad! The MN45 was also k but had a flaw in the build with the battery location. This is by far the best RC Land Rover out there if you are on a budget. I like finding a cheap RC car that performs well but isn't expensive. Maybe I should do a RTR MN99 Vs WPL B34 to see which is best out the box. - Zábava
9:57! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I gave up trying trying to sync it with the quacking.... took long enough as it is haha. Bloody Fan boys!
This was the best.
@@TomleyRC yes...
I'v just ordered one of these to inspect the underside of my home, I live in a park home which sits about 50cm above a concrete base . Crawling around checking for rot/leaks is hard work so I'm fitting it with an FPV system and an old smart phone to video the underside plus at nearly 69 I'm still a kid !
There is no age limit to Radio Control 😎👍
Genius!
Your genius scares me.
Well done, MN Models - they´ve improved their product in response to customer feedback, and they´ve done it really fast. Good on them!
Yes, it was good to take it out and see all the improvements coming together!
They're getting better for the price my friend loving the gulf colours🇬🇧😎👍😊
Yes, big improvements and not a big jump in price! 🤘
Thanks for the great review just ordered the mn99s thanks to you! :)
Going right trough your MN playlist and I must say I'm impressed with the trucks and the quality video, thank you!
👍 Nice the paint it looks like the gulf racing paint job!
Yes, nice and bright. You'd not lose it in the long grass haha
I think WPL need to up there game , MN were always onto a winner with a Land Rover body shell , the C34 doesnt have the same impact as a bruising Landy 😁
Yeah, a lot of love for the Land Rover!
That depends on which country you're in. For us we love the fj40 so I got the c34km. The fj40 body too by wpl is much more detailed along with opening doors and added windows so I don't think wpl has been lacking in effort.
Looks good, I like the soft tyres 😁👍👍 great review buddy 😎
Cheers dude
Yes!!! Great video man! waited for months for this video
haha...as long as I waited for the truck 😎🤘
Thank you! I Watched your video, paid attention, took your advice and ordered the MN99 (in dark silver). You’re right - they are toy grade, but bodies are nice, and you can always customize the body and mount it on a hobby quality chassis, when the time and funds permit. ✌️
Btw, as you showed, the MN99 has upgrades that make it livable for the time being! Good and inexpensive!! Needed that especially these days. Cheers!
You'll have fun I am sure :)
Ha ha! A year later and I’ve bought 3 of them (gave one to a mate for his birthday). Great fun for little money!
Looks awesome, just ordered one!
It's a good one now! Just get some wheel weights and upgrade the esc, tx/rx and its set! Nice run!
Cheers dude. Yes, this and the 96 share the improvements. These always do better with upgraded electronics
Nice... love the video. This is going to be my very first MN model.
Awesome, it's a good one to start of with 👍
What an awesome truck for this price! I´m sure it will beat my FY003 at offroading and crawling straight out of the box and it´s a decent Defender model as well.
Yeah, finally one that drives well out the box!
Looks absolutely amazing
Colours work well together, although would suit a race car rather than a Land Rover haha
Loved the thumbnail and the truck look amazing and based on past videos of yours I think that mn models have upped their game
Cheers dude
That D90 looks sweet mate, and it is upgraded, MN models are in the game now! 😸
Yes, finally caught up with WPL 👍
wow pretty good for a cheap rc,great review and video my friend
Cheers dude
It's a really good car for its price. We got MN91s with some upgrades and they are really fun to ride!
Just got my ladder chassis and waiting on transfer box floor pan to turn my crawler into a trail buggy. Always want to buy new rc ground vehicles when I see them but glad I have started my project. And glad to see the MN upping the game.
I really enjoy building these, and making custom rigs. Affordable as well now
@@TomleyRC after years of nitro I now am all electric and aside from my senton and pro volcano or brontosaurus I have fallen in love with crawling. Just put metal axles on my scout and about to ladder chassis it to see what results... I got a decent looking ladder chassis for £18 on a well known shopping app so I will see if I prefer how I have tweaked it so far against how she drives with the ladder chassis. I love tinkering but do I get frustrated? Yeah 😉
Sounds like it'll be good fun. Yes, can get frustrating when things don't fit properly etc..
A surprising little vehicle. Thanks.
No problems Russ
Fantastic review and unboxing Phil, really good looking Body and good Price, Funny that with the Birds cherping Traxxas/Arrma 🤣🤣🤣 fantastic video mate as Always 👍😎👍
haha, couldn't resist the fanboy birds. Cheers as always Tony. 🇬🇧
Those damn arma traxxas fan boys lol, good looking little truck, definitely good for a young person or just something to bash around the garden, may have to spend some more money. 😊
haha.... yes, disturbed my video with their bickering! A few upgrades and these are pretty good for most things.
Had mine for about 2 months now. These things are insanely fun to use. Iv'e ordered all the metal parts for the upgrade..Axles and complete inner workings...etc. I absolutely love this little thing... The body shell is brilliant...My only question is ...Imagine if they did this in a 1/10 Scale???
Yes a 1/10 would be really nice!
@@TomleyRC I guess the Biggest reason they Won't is due to Licencing?...and Tamiya might get a bit upset?...I don't know...! But IF they did a 1:10 Scale....The lid is off surely on how good this stuff could be.!
I like the 1/12 scale. It is a nice all-around size. It is nice to have a 1/10 for bushwalks but for around my all-natural rock crawler cause around my back yard, the 1/12 scale is great.
Love it. Just need you to influence MN to make a D110! I'll order one the second they release it😁
oh... a 110 yes!
Nice bit of retro Gulf racing colours going on there dude! I was impressed by the little budget truck - as you said, sort out the top heaviness and good to go!
BTW, I ran the Tamiya M03 for the speed wall yesterday - 7.2v and brushed - I was really, really hoping to hit 30mph as I haven't got past 28 before! Anyway, will upload tomorrow, we will see! 👍👍👍GB
oooo...look forward to seeing the M03! 👍
@@TomleyRC Cheers Phil, I hope the vid will be OK - we ran it the only place round here that I know with a long(ish) path, the local park. Trouble is, every Tom, Dick and Harry kept walking into shot as I was making an attempt - and saying "can I have a go mate" and "is it petrol?" DOH!!! So I cobbled the footage best I could, so apologies in advance! Need to find a deserted car park like you! :)
Amazing!
Really nice little model, dude! 😃
Lots of power, hum? 😃
Great review!
Decent one from MN for a change 👍
Looks like some oil shocks would solve a large portion of issues. That's an easy upgrade. The rest is really good looking for such an inexpensive RC IMO. Great overview.
Yes, for the money, you can't go wrong! Oil shocks and away you go!
Its same like FUNTEK TRAIL 👍
Enjoyed a lot man. Quack quack
Cheers Pritish... haha quack quack
Just ordered one of these. Great price for what it is.
Now to find a reliable source of oil filled shocks that ship to Canada without costing more than a whole WPL!
on the info it said 220 motor and 1200mah battery in the amazon discription when I bought mine, but nice review as per, love your channel mate.
Cool.. I usually do my homework and know the specs. I was to excited to get this unboxed though haha
Cool man looks good
Cheers dude 👍
I just got the other version, the 96 RSOV and it's even better, slightly smaller tires which gives it a better suspension travel. Also it has a cool looking roll cage and scale-ish accessories... it's a lot considering the price.
Yeah, the 96 is ok. I wasn't a fan of the accessories though.
@@TomleyRC I left only the better looking ones like the high lift jack the gas cans and the roll cage. I painted most of the stuff and it ended up way better as a civilian vehicle
Looks damn good too
Yes, nice colours 😎👍
Ordered mine today
She's beautiful looking
Thinking of upgrading the axle housings and drive shafts to metal. Which ones do you recommend. Do WPL metal drive shafts fit the MN99 and are the plastic ones on it easy to remove?
Oh u beat me to it, I have this one on my review list but havent recieved it yet, it looks good
Oh well at least I got the white n orange n u got the blue n orange
It's good fun Stevo, a good starter for someone, or one to mod up in to something pretty special.
Succes chanelnya
Video amazing
Mo Powa Babeh!
AWESOME
nice car
Hey Tomley, just a question I'm most likely gonna order the mn99 so can you give me a few little tips for the mn99 because it would really help. Also what are the full specs on the truck?
I'm waiting for mine to show up.... This video is a great tease 😃
Car looks really quite good, if a little fast?
Anyway a good basis for a bit of modification I'm sure 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes it's really good. Slightly fast for scale, but plenty of power.
@@TomleyRC I suppose a two speed gearbox conversion might help?
Hello Tomley I need your help
Im thinking of getting one of these but where I live its quite expensive so should I get the MN 90, the 99 or the 99s?
Troppo bello !!!!
Un italianoooo, si sono d accordo con te, l ho comprato oggi e non ne avrei comprato nessun altro neanche a 80 - 90 €
What’s a good battery to get for this to make it stronger.
Thanks
Nice!! But i love the FJ Body. I think you tried fitting the FJ Body on this. Will it fit with some modifying?? Thank You!!
The FJ from MN will fit (MN45), the better WPL one will need modifying though.
i love mn99 best crawler ever
Need a Series body!!!!
Thanks for the video. I just got the blue one myself. :-) Do you know where to get the upgrade parts? For example the axles?
No prob's dude. I think most spares you can find on Banggood and Aliexpress 👍
does the roof come off on the blue version? looks all moulded one piece.
If I could afford one then I would buy it right now
Probably the best cheap crawler you could buy at that price bud. Im in canada and they are 90$ shipped on amazon prime, thats less than i paid for rc4wd tsl narrows with stamped steelies lol.
@@bryanmayes9234 I'd say I'm more hooked on the wpl lot but these are still good and I still can't afford one
That's really good car dude. I think it just need upgrade for the shock, need the better damping one. So it doesn't bouncing arround.
Yes, it shows upgraded shocks on the box.... I wonder if they are oil?
@@TomleyRC yeah i think maybe its plastic tube shock with oil inside, but you nees to check it 😂 seems the spring rate like softer in the picture at box
Please add a video which shows us how fast it can go on flat terrains
the mn96 is good too!
It's definitely an improvement. With a few of the normal mods it should be even better. But Really. Racing colours on Landy? :D
_Cute editing BTW_
haha.... yeah, Gulf Colours are a little strange haha
I'm currently looking for a crawler to put some fpv on and have some fun with. Would you recommend this on? With maybe a shock upgrade or do you recommend something else? Budget about 100 max.
This would be good for FPV... or the CR-18 Crawler
I am surprised you even got it. But then again you are reviewing it. Their delivery takes the absolute piss! I asked for a refund as I thought 1 month was long enough to wait and they refused. PayPal case open thankfully.
Has anyone else had this?
Flying Solo I think they had an issue with the supply from MN. This was pre ordered for me beginning of June, and didn’t arrive until the day before this video was published. So over 2 months. When I order stuff I always choose the fastest shipping, most stuff gets here within 2-3weeks
NC MOUNTAINS 👍✔
Waiting for mine to arrive from HK supplier ( were much cheaper than BG when I ordered , not now ! ) . BG's specs say 1200mah and 260 gearbox ? My supplier , no motor size but 2500mah , I guess we'll see . Looks like it has enough power now but seems too tall geared , possible to change easily ? I really enjoy your " No B/S " reviews , kutgw . 🇦🇺 😎
Cheers Steven. Yeah, I'd say it's a 1200mah looking at the size/weight. The motor is not a size I'm familiar with, but certainly somewhere between a 180 & 370 motor haha. You could get a 2 speed WPL box or single speed in there no problem, that'll sort the gearing out.
I see quite a few unboxings/reviews that spend forever just taking it out the box!....fancy camera angles and music! My approach is get it out the box, show the important stuff, and then get it out running!
You mention better shocks, is it worth putting oil shocks on these trucks?
did your light fixtures comes in color already? Isn't it all white? if so, how did you color them? thanks!
Any ideas where you can get a replacement servo? Ordered one of these for my son and it arrived today and the steering servo doesn't work. I have some hi-tec servos of similar size, but they don't quite fit and the direction is wrong. Is the servo for the MN90 the same, because there doesn't seem to be much spares support for these yet? Cheers.
It's honestly hard for me to see how they can sell this truck, rtr, for a blonde hair over $50. Even if it were just a kit and you had to assemble it completely yourself (with included electronics) it would still be a smoking deal.
It just baffles me. 10+ years ago when I first got into the hobby $100 couldn't even get me a LOSI mini-t (tax at the LHS took it over my $100 birthday $ gift) I know it's not really a fair comparison, losi is name brand and the mini-t is aimed at a completely different consumer base then the mn-99. But nowadays, for $100 you could get a brushless 4x4 1/16th scale with included lipo! (Xinlehong q901) Big difference compared to a 2wd 1/18 that comes with a 4xAA battery..
Yes, the Chinese market has really made it affordable to get in to RC!
@@TomleyRC you just made my day, having the time to reply to me :) subbed, keep on doing what you do.
How long does it take to charge and how long does the battery last on a full charge
Help me I don’t know if I should get the mn 99s or mn 99 what’s the difference so far I thinking about the sun mn 99 s
does it have any brake?
Dammit, you make a tempting arguement fer a spendy spend.
Have you done any upgrades to the 99? If so, any videos coming? I have a 99 coming this week and obviously want to do some upgrades.
No upgrades as my MN90 has been fully upgraded and is my on going project, there will be a video of that coming in the future. But it's the same platform, and lots of stuff out there to upgrade.
Does this has break control option as in MN D99s model?
What end does the battery use? How can we charge this on a hobby charger.
60 bucks wow seems like a good deal for what you get ! Probably 20 30 dollars you could make an awesome crawler!
Yeah, decent value for money
Bet on the future there will be a 99s
is it water proof from stock or is their a water proof upgrade for it?
Hi, what size of shocks would you use to upgrade it? Any suggestions? Appreciate the help!
I've not managed to find any decent ones yet
@@TomleyRC thank you for your prompt response! Appreciate it!
its screaming for the budget mods... the fayee 6 spoke rims+tires are a little shorter and wider, allows more suspension travel before hitting wheel wells. the B-36 tan gearbox isn't fast but torque is really good from a 180 motor. 2 full wraps 2 mm solder (16 turns) to the front rims and it'll claw its way uphill a whole lot better.
when my plastic axle gears fail, it'll be time for the metal, and shafts to go with it, but for now it's doing really well. low wheel speed and oil filled shocks do help to keep the wheels from hammering, is what really breaks the plastic axle gears quickly.
This has metal Axle gears 👍, the tan gearbox is certainly still the one to go for if you want decent gearing without loosing to much grunt 😎
Charger blinking red green normal?
I’ve just got this for Xmas. I’ve plugged it into the battery and all the lights flash. I can’t find any info about stopping it or what to do.
Could you or anyone help me please 😊
very nice MN more than WPL!!
Yes, nice looks for this one
Do the driveshafts have the same issues as the stock WPL plastic drive shafts? As in, they SUCK and fall out? lol
The old WPL ones were pretty bad if you didn’t glue them. They are ok now though... as are these
Would the older mn-90 body fit onto this chassis? Not keen on the bright colours if im honest
Yes, it's the same, so should got straight on 👍
Does anyone have a link for any weights to add to this thing because I don’t want to order the wrong parts
Love the video, but what is the actual scale of this truck? It says 1/12 but looks very close to 1/16?
I think they are about 1/13
Hi, I was looking to get a couple of these for my nephews but am a little confused by all the different editions... Do you know what if any the difference is between them?
Ian Sparks RC Ian, this one is the best of the bunch or the MN-96. Both fully proportional and enough power for some good trailing.
I'm going for the MN99 but every listing on every is apparently for different editions of the MN99
Ian Sparks RC The only difference should be the colour?
Ok, I didn't think there would be but is confusing with each one being a different edition.
Thanks for the help
Always wanted one,now she's upgraded i gotta pull the trigger,unless you know of anything better for £42.68 on ebay UK
I think that’s a good price for the MN99 👍🏻
More that performance wpl?
The car is very light!
Yes, needs wheel weights
Definitely needs chasis weights
how much minute can you use?
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Which is better in your opinion:
The WPL B36
The MN 99
Is the B36 fast?
How fast is the B36 compared to the 99?
I'm just using it in a backyard so they wont be going through anything to intense.
Thanks!
MN99s is probably the best you can get RTR for what you want. The B36 is very nice as well, but I think the MN99 is best value
I got one, interestingly they have changed the lights so they stay on permanently. Its Genuinely very good. I got it for £37 quid.
£37 is a bargain mate
@@TomleyRC Yeah. It was in discount and I used the App Honey so in total a saved around 14 quid
@Crazy Gang wow
Do C34 C44 style wheels and tyres fit the MN99?
Should do
Are WPL metal parts compatible? I want to upgrade the axle housings, steering linkages etc on my MN99. Do you have any links to Banggood that have these parts?
You can get upgraded MN 'metal' parts now on Banggood
@@TomleyRC There's not much MN parts on Banggood. That's why I asked...so are WPL parts compatible??
Today, mn86ks is the best
My wpl c24 comes with motor steer servo. Want to upgrade to variable or proportional steering servo. How does one tell t gr e difference? Want to order for c24 .... but dont know how to tell upgrade from OEM. Any help would be appreciated. Im a newbie. 🤫
The C24 kit will come with a proportional servo 👍
