MN Model D90 Land Rover: Test Drive With Hydraulic Shocks, Treadles And License Plates

MN Model is a new Chinese player on the RC market. Their first model is a really nice, 1/12 scale Land Rover D90 Defender. It is available as an RTR and as a kit version.
Of course I chose the kit version: www.banggood.com/1-Set-MN-90-...
In this video:
- Designing and installing 3D printed treadles / side steps
- Painting the rear bumper in black
- Installing custom made license plates
- Test drive in the mud
Part 1, unboxing, kit build, first test: • MN Model D90 Land Rove...
Part2, crazy test run in the snow, brass pinion upgrade: • MN Model D90 Land Rove...
Part 3, hydraulic WLtoys shock upgrade: • MN Model D90 Land Rove...
There will also be an upcoming upgrade video, in which the steering geometry will be fixed.

Looks great - these are fantastic value RC Landies... but I wish the doors opened!

[@RC3DPrintAdventure]

Thankyou for the 3D print designs, very useful. Great videos too!

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thanks for the praise

Cool run

Nice MN Model D90 Land Rover trail ride Nice 3D print work ;-D

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thanks

[@NangTamKienThuc2023]

Look great. I should upgrade this for mine.

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thanks. Also have a look at my other MN D90 videos, I've done a lot of other upgrades.

[@STEVOD313]

Looks great Merry Christmas

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thanks. Merry Christmas

Thank you 😊

Good bro

Merry Christmas!

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thanks, Merry Christmas!

[@somedudewithakeyboard]

Much better with new shocks.

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Yes, but still a bit too stiff. I will try to find some softer springs.

[@nerdgizmo4620]

Hi friend, I used some of your 3D parts on my mn 90! TY

[@TheDIYGuy999]

I'm glad they were useful for you

[@JustSuShrimp]

I have a question dose the mn model d90 include proportional steering?

[@mypfpiswhatourphonesees4294]

its definitely a lot better than the stock but it still seems to be a bit stiff, is there a way to make the suspension more softer like those hobby grade rc?

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Have a look at this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aICUnIqvar-ge68

[@kingstonrc329]

Recently got one of these, is there an easy slide in motor replacement for more power? Just seem to be a little slow. Love your videos. 😃👍🏻

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thanks for the praise. You can use these WPL motors / gearboxes, the mounting points are compatible: www.banggood.com/search/wpl-gearbox.html?p=NZ29024828314201605E

[@thisdudeted8531]

nice job!!! did you know if some one already desing the axle links for 3d print..

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thanks. No, I think not or at least I did not see it. Why not just use adjustable WPL metal links?

[@thisdudeted8531]

@@TheDIYGuy999 ok thanks!!! i post a pic of my d90 on your G+..✌✌

[@MrRc-zk4gf]

hello, the engine with the gearbox is the original? Or did you install a new one?

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Hi, yes it's the roriginal 180 size motor of the kit version. The gearbox is the stock one as well. Links are in the video description

[@teds5235]

Is tires got stucked by the shock when turn?? How to set clearence turn

[@TheDIYGuy999]

No, see these videos for my suspension setup: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnikh5qnlrqor6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/aICUnIqvar-ge68 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZXOnoaals-WfdE kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHTEdJqjgqmXgdU

[@rcpatapouf]

Now it's better

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Yes, but I will try to find softer springs

[@rcpatapouf]

@@TheDIYGuy999 i think too it will be better with softer Springs, good job bro

[@TheDIYGuy999]

In the meantime, I have installed softer springs on the WLtoys shocks. Video will follow.

[@francoisvortman8358]

Whats the bigest size of wheels could be put on this rc anyone know if 1/10 wheels would fit on it

[@TheDIYGuy999]

No, they would rub in the wheel wells

[@TheDIYGuy999]

Thanks

[@MKHITARIANVahram]

Hello my friend, let's help each other, I subscribe to your channel, waiting for mutual, thank you

[@kentsupermad7145]

What is the wheelbase? Merry Christmas!

[@TheDIYGuy999]

195mm. Merry Christmas 🎄.

[@ishow6692]

In stock its has waterproof?

[@TheDIYGuy999]

The kit version comes without electronics, just with servo and 180 size motor. My DIY receiver is splash proof, because it's conformal coated. I drove it in snow and mud, no issues so far.

[@lucasvonheiz1310]

So basically if i get it, with your upgrades it needs lot more weight to avoid that bouncy shaky behaviour

[@TheDIYGuy999]

No, it does not need more weight, the shocks have a hydraulic dampening

[@elchupet1835]

How long are those shocks?

[@TheDIYGuy999]

55mm from center to center

[@benedickbriancartera5753]

is it full waterproof?

[@TheDIYGuy999]

It depends on the electronics you use. My DIY receiver is conformal coated.

[@febrij.s8474]

360 motor?

[@TheDIYGuy999]

No, stock 180 motor, which comes with the kit version
