Did I Waste My Money? - MN82 Toyota Land Cruiser LC79 - Review

Let's look at the MN Model MN2 Toyota Land Cruiser LC79. It's a Remnoter Control Rock Crawlering machine. #rccrawler #toyotalandcruiser

Cat gag was hilarious 😂 ❤

😊

[@scalebuildersguild]

What if I like trucks AND cats?

[@orcrawler7387]

What’s 1*f in goose units Josh, I mean Matt.

[@turksandjerps]

Then we could be friends

[@ehGai]

OMG I love ir vids

[@fdougwillman132]

Thanks for the video. When I saw your IG post I was convinced this was a climbing car.

[@turksandjerps]

It's remnoter climber, similar but very different

[@MysticRiverRC]

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]

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

[@BSalc]

😂 that was pretty fun when your cat came out of the box 👍🏽👍🏽

[@turksandjerps]

He had fun too!

[@RCBirds]

Nice presentation. This car looks awesome. Performance's due to the prize and material. But I like it

[@turksandjerps]

Yes, for the money it's a good value.

[@enixstaysfuk]

That ESC is so loud when you first gave it throttle (and it didn't go anywhere 😅) I thought it was a horn lol

[@turksandjerps]

I didn’t even notice I’m so used to bad electronics.

[@CrawlerMedia]

That's exactly what I thought too 😂

[@toddanderson1506]

I might try a scx24 v2 receiver, its pretty quiet.

[@Wild_Buggy]

Yes you did. I have wasted mine in WPL and MN trucks multiple times too!

[@timmyjackson6918]

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]

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.

[@RDMcK22]

Coils and leafs? Must be the towing package.

[@turksandjerps]

Very strong vehicle maximum payload

[@AMPROEngineering]

"Remoter Control Max Speed" is my new channel. In all honesty, i was not aware how much paint you use on the tail lamps. Maybe this is why mine never come oput so glossy....that or I do not have a cat helping.

[@turksandjerps]

Too late I’ve already taken it and I’ll sue you. Yeah, I go heavy with the clear paint especially if it’s textured inside. If it’s smooth I’ll do lighter coats on each side.

[@ianmangham4570]

Sounds real TORQUEY, i swear as a kid in the 70s our cars wouldn't even move on carpet lmno 😅

[@Rock-On-Ron]

I could've bought this truck only if it has opening doors and if it's compatible with 12mm wheel hexes for more versatility but sadly it's not, so I choose to get the MN128 instead and no regrets.

[@turksandjerps]

Understandable. I didn't know that particular model even existed!

[@Rock-On-Ron]

@@turksandjerps Actually the MN128 is the best model that the MN brand has to offer, it's 1/12 but feels like 1/10 scale

[@akoshorvath-risko5838]

I can see one potential crowd for this: the 1/14 scale construction guys. We'll probably see these bodies on other chassies driving with the other equipment soon.

[@turksandjerps]

I'd love a 1/14 scale excavator but I'd have to sell most of my other RC's to afford it

[@akoshorvath-risko5838]

@@turksandjerps Oh, wouldn't we all... I also like to look at the best 1/14 trucks, like Scaleart. I'm not kidding when I say that you could buy a used, but full sized truck for a little bit more.

[@jerel6201]

Fuzziest Four Paw Drive out there. Probably doesn't listen / bind to the renmoter very well though...

[@turksandjerps]

Very disobedient vehicle

[@meirdeaph]

[@rcworldKenya]

I think i will get the red one too. Nice truck

[@RacerstarLP]

The cat was so cute 😍

[@JunKaiWongSP]

The problem of the MN82 is the steering angle being to short, couple of upgrades could fix that

[@zamoragera13]

I ordered one too. And I also ordered from AliExpress. I'll probably have it in two months.

[@turksandjerps]

Good luck!

[@scalerockrc]

WPL and MN have some pretty sweet bodies, the mechanics though, not very good. But they can be made good. I have a decased HW1060 and better motor going in one of my WPLs along with the metal axles and driveshafts.

[@turksandjerps]

What motor are you putting into it? Not that I plan on changing mine just curious.

[@rctraildriversuk-lone-wolfvide]

Love the cat, i have ordered one of these just for a bit of slow scale trail driving, they seem okay for price

[@turksandjerps]

They are very ok for the price. Don’t expect much and be pleasantly surprised

[@ianmangham4570]

I hate no oil coilovers like everyone else ,but i can deal so long as there's a metal leaf spring lol 😆 🙏 better than without the leafs

[@thepassenger6499]

To be honest, i like the body but I'm not really sureabout the rest. Especially that block of ice attached to the controller! 🤔 Take care and hug your cat! 😉

[@turksandjerps]

Cat, hugged.

[@toddanderson1506]

Great video! So would you say its the same scale as the fms fj45? Its bigger though, right?

[@turksandjerps]

If I recall that is also 1/14th so yes they are close

[@nobrainerairsoft4001]

Just bought one gonna be a fun project

[@turksandjerps]

Have fun

[@CactusCrawlersRC]

Nice truck! Great video! I don't like me either.

[@turksandjerps]

[@NickP_830]

Comes with that Carolina squat I see. I wish these companies would start making these models in 1/10ish scale. I just can’t get into these small scale trucks.

[@NickP_830]

@@Flunkyjunkyfloyd123 for 1/10 scale? No they fit on regular shelves fine.

[@LumpkinMumfins1]

Dang! Finding this late, but love the vid and the look of the truck. D’you happen to know the wheelbase on it? Thanks!

[@turksandjerps]

Don’t have it anymore but it was around 9 inches if I recall correctly

[@LumpkinMumfins1]

Beauty! Thank you!

[@carloshnunez]

Nice truck 🔵🔵🔵🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍🔵🔵🔵

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

I like the truck. You, though, you're from Indiana.

[@turksandjerps]

HOW DARE YOU. I’m from Ohio. We are only .1% more obese than the Hoosier state.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

@@turksandjerps Hi in the middle and round on both ends. Well, THAT makes sense. Sorry, I thought you were from Indianner. I've driven through both a lot going back and forth from IL to VT. I'm actually in Ill Noise now. We're practically not even neighbors! Had to move back perma-temporarily to do the caregiver thing for my elderly mother. How do you like those windshield wipers? Nice detail, huh?

[@idworkhard]

i would argue that MN is better than WPL when it comes to quality. Their plastics are better, fit and finish are better.

[@turksandjerps]

Yes, perhaps you’re right.

[@kjflyte5088]

18° f the last couple of day here ..

[@turksandjerps]

We had single digits now a bunch of snow. I did get some video of this truck though before the heavy snow

[@dontdogarage]

Man dont tell me its worse then wpl. Not that wpl is necessarily bad but i consider it the gate keeper of hobby grade rigs. If its any worse then wpl its a toy. Unfortunately ive wasted the same $52 lol mine should be here today or tomorrow

[@turksandjerps]

Congrats on your new investment. After driving this yesterday I’m going to put them on the same level. These are cheaper than a New Bright and can actually do some things and are able to be upgraded.

[@DanishBinazhan]

Excuse me sir, what colour are you using to paint the taillight?

[@turksandjerps]

Tamiya Clear Red X-27

[@jonlaird5082]

So if I place an order from that place for a cat,I will get a free rc truck? 🤔. That's kinda tempting,lol. Might have to ask the wife on this one,lol

[@turksandjerps]

That is not the cat I ordered. This one eats too much.

What are you going to put that body on? I know it’s not stay where it is.

[@heinies_hobbies]

What’s the width fender flare to fender flare?

[@turksandjerps]

135mm at the widest part, 128mm wide at the bed. FCX24/FCX18 axles would tuck in perfectly.

[@heinies_hobbies]

@@turksandjerps 135mm is also FMS Jimmy 1/12 axle territory 🤔

Is this best or that mn90 Landrover at similar price ? Anyone?

[@turksandjerps]

About the same, just depends on if you like Toyota body or Land Rover body better.

[@danielandrino5239]

D99S or MN82 what do you recommenced

Either one. Depends on if you like Land Rovers or Land Cruisers more. I’d choose Land Cruiser.

Would the chrome bumper frome the fms k10 be a good size for this?

[@turksandjerps]

But why would you want a Chevy bumper on a Land Cruiser?

[@toddanderson1506]

Point taken, this is the only chunky chrome bumper I know of. From the pics I have seen, the lc79 bumper is chunky. Maybe I should try to find a flatter one for departure angle.

[@toddanderson1506]

I think it looks unfinished without a bumper.

[@turksandjerps]

​@@toddanderson1506 If I still had this truck I'd see how the Chevy bumper looked for you but I got rid of it. However, this model of Land Cruiser doesn't come with a rear bumper from the factory just like in the olden days.
