MN-90 Land Rover D90 RC Truck. 1/12 Scale cheap RC truck. Ready to Run MN 90

New MN99! Fully Proportional, metal gears, bigger motor! Check it out!
www.banggood.com/MN-99-2_4G-1...
Here's the MN-90 from MN Models. It's an awesome looking Land Rover Defender D90 on a multi-link 4wd chassis. Veey nice budget 4x4 RC, that will be awesome once upgraded!
Buy it here:
www.banggood.com/MN-90-1-12-2...
Kit Version:
www.banggood.com/1-Set-MN-90-...
WPL Fully Proportional upgrade kit:
www.banggood.com/8PCS-WPL-B36...
Kit Version comes with a Steering Servo and a 180 Motor. There seems to be no difference other than that (and no electronics in the kit). Tyres look the same compound.
I will upgrade this with a 2 speed gearbox and some WPL upgrades, and then we'll take it for a proper test.
Will there be a WPL Land Rover Defender D90 soon?

[@TomleyRC]

You know that will be the next video 😉👍

[@johnsalt19]

Hi mr.t you cud use one of them wpl upgrade kits wat gives it all full proportional kits plus use 150 motor n ofcourse a servo lol

[@hybrid32494]

Whooah. Very nice. Gotta buy this now too. It makes the wpl look silly next to it. Basically the same cost as the c14 too. How are the gears?

[@TomleyRC]

Gears seem ok, not sure how long they will last. And i'm not sure if the WPL metal ones are a direct replacement.

[@owd7150]

The axles are longer but you can still fit the separate WPL metal parts if you pull the plastic ones off. The axle housings are a far better design, more robust and there is no play in the crown and pinion, mesh is probably a bit tight imo

[@kingstonrc329]

Will the WPL proportional steering kit work in this? I'm thinking about ordering it I know you have a link in the description. Great job on the unboxing and overview. I just recently got this a few days ago and just looking at upgrades for it. Thanks

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, it should. I have ordered one for this.

[@br1ann88]

Tomley RC Garage can you make an updated video when you get the shipment? I know it will take a while from good ol China haha

[@d91s]

It's cheap and it's good, but it needs some modifications for a more off-road ride. For those who just want to buy a ready-to-drive car, I would suggest buying MN-99S instead, which is not much more expensive, but comes with a stronger motor and a better steering.

[@giontech8072]

Hi' Id like to ask, in your opinion which is much better "MN" or "WPL"? Thanks

[@leechatterton6150]

Hi Thanks for the great videos 👍 Just thinking about buying one to play with during the lockdown period. What spare batteries will I need foe the car itself and will any 2.4 ghz stick transmitter work the receiver? Thanks Lee

[@TomleyRC]

I'd look at the MN99, that's the better option now.

Hey man thus the wpl upgrade kit that you mention in the link is the solutiom for the non proportional steering of the mn-90 RTR versions because i have one and the steering is truly sucks

[@fivewaves3890]

How do u charge it

[@modelnutty6503]

I kinda think WPL C14/24 are more 1/13 or 1/14 scale, for them being same size as their 1/16 scale B-1, which might even be 1/18 or 1/20 scale... lol tough call! my Subotech Brave claims 1/22 scale, and side by side to the B-1 has me thinking B-1 might be 1/24-ish! HELP US PLEASE!! they're messin with our heads!! EDIT... done the measuring, yes WPL C-14/24 are a 1/13 scale, so MN-D90 is a 1/12. does look like another candidate for what I did to my C24, wrapping the rims with 1/16" solid core solder wire between the tire beads (full up front, half full in rear), 3 wraps stretched electrical tape and a spot of CA to lock the tape. it helps traction, flex, and stability a bunch, but keep in mind I'm using a twin gear motor set up... have to make the center casing yourself from sheet metal but these are awesome!: www.ebay.com/itm/16MM-DC-5V-12V-Mini-Full-Metal-Gearbox-Gear-Motor-Speed-Reduction-DIY-Robot-Car/323222217245?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=512295756103&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 the 855 RPM means about 530 RPM on 2S, 790 RPM on 3S, both decent walking speeds, lots of really steady torque and no need of automatic electric braking up inclines. I did make the center box taller to hang lower, took half the "Z" out of the drive shafts, little less center clearance but I'm still using all plastic bevel gears and shafts without problems, is great! PS.. yeah it's running on the larger wider Fayee rims/tires, WD-40 softened them up pretty good. does really good for its size out climbing.

[@greendemon70]

Is it waterproof?

[@toystotech8080]

Is there leg room to fit A 6 in figure in there? And if not could you cut an opening in it to put one in? Thank u

180 motors are slightly longer, and generally have more torque. Steering servo give proportional steering, rather than just left/right...on/off like the cheap motor driven steering these come with.

[@jameswhitman7936]

If I bought it it would be the kit version with all wltoys electronics but I think it's just another brand made by wpl or the same factory etc. Had a bad experience with wpl brand so that's why I haven't bought one. My 1/12 wltoys was super easy to lock front and rear differentials and required no modifications for 1/10 wheels and tires. It's a climbing beast

Hi, I bought one of these the other day, but only worked for a couple of days. With the battery fully charged, it doesn´t have the strengh to move. Anyone had the same problem? Thanks and nice review!!
