    Cool cat video! Seriously though. Not a bad little truck for the price. I have two MN78s which I think would play nicely alongside this model. And there are plenty of things you can do to upgrade them. It's basically an inexpensive jumping off point for someone new to the hobby.

    • @turksandjerps

      No, not a bad little truck at all for the price. I’d like to try the MN78 which I’m sure isn’t much different than this but I have some ideas.

    • @MysticRiverRC
      @MysticRiverRC 11 місяців тому

      I think it's probably a bit better. Suspension and transmission both. I'm currently waiting on a metal gear set, 370 motor, and adapter plate to upgrade the MN78s I have on my channel. Once I have an MN 82 in hand I'll see how easy it is to drop the MN78 transmission into that. @@turksandjerps

      It's not a waste if you know you're going to instantly upgrade everything and have factored in all the cost. I just ordered an MN82 and I have already ordered a 370 motor portal axles ac280 to 370 motor conversion ring metal rims and tires
      and an all metal linking rods set. I learned my lesson that I am going to have to upgrade instantly if I want the best performance out of these cars. I only have 1 1/10 scale car and every part for it costs 4 times as much as what I could pay for some of these WPL and MN parts. So it's a good deal all around if you get into this hobby, knowing you're going to have to spend a little money.

    • @SRCE2070
      @SRCE2070 Рік тому +4

      I buy these for the bodies, the rtrs MN or Wpl are below par but good for kids for a bit, but for not much money you can really make them capable and fun, but it’s a lot of fiddling to get everything fitted and working smoothly but I enjoy it.

    If you accept MN and WPL for what they are, cheap RC cars? Then no, you haven't wasted your money.
    If you want better quality, then spend more money of FCS or HSP or similar branded rock crawlers. Have seen HSP crawlers for under 200(eBay) in Australia. The MN82 sells for between 90 and 130 on eBay here, depending on the seller.
    I have found MN to be a little better than WPL for steering control and power to weight ratio. Although the MN99s was lacking in power with its little 130 motor. Then, that one is based on the Landrover Defender, which were under powered anyway! 😂
