MN Model MN 99 Review and Comparison.

So MN Model comes out with two special anniversary edition d90s. They have metal ring and pinion gears and full proportional 3 wire servo and 260 size motor. It performs pretty well in stock form. Add some wheel weights and your good for some trailing!

[@smob6969]

So after watching pretty much all of your videos. And rewatching them. I have bought a couple of these RC'S and upgrades. Just waiting for them to get here now. I will be messaging you on here with questions if you can help if needed. But I'm confident after watching these great videos, I can do this! Thanks for all of the videos and comments from you. Please keep these coming! My son and I are going to be having days of fun with these RC'S!

the 3 wire servo and 260 size motor is the best upgrade they did for the newer MN model especially if the 260 motor is designed for high torque application and not high speed like what they did on the D90 RTR.

That would be so good, but instead they did a Mercedes Geländewagen, and not a base utility model but the G500 4x4 with overly large wheels and fender flares; not exactly a Camel Trophy or safari vehicle.

MAN I LOVE THE SHOW #IWANTIT

[@jahmenrcbuildingasone4254]

Really gettimg into these I totally want one however being a beginner would you have a suggestion with which one to start with? Thanks RTR

[@RunThatRC]

I say if you want an RTR the mn 96, 99, 99s aren't bad to start but a wpl c34km kit and the v2 sound kit with controller will teach you how to build and in turn you will know your rc inside and out.

[@nhansme]

Great review bro 👍 I love my Mn 90. But I’m disappointed at MN rc for releasing the same model over and over just with couple of differences. I thought maybe they will come up with a better model after Wpl c34. Maybe in the future.

[@RunThatRC]

Me too. I do hope they do change to a different model and actually install parts they say are included on the box.

[@monchito7777]

Yes what I see some of the hobby grade coming down in price meaning more competition wheels and tires would be great the Toyota body move to a 1 /12 scale , there trucks would be good to see them in 1/10 scale . I saw the wltoys has a big military truck but to me the wpl truck looks better the axels look great like the real deal the more realistic the look the better.

[@manong7413]

nice video! good mn-99. I sub~ have a nice day!

[@soemardi8885]

Maybe when i have that rigs, i will take that straight out from the box in stock form to joining the rc offroad competition in my town. Since i never have a stock car to run cause my first kit just slip the drive shaft and i must upgrade it. #iwantit

[@Jaysanook]

one of these on the way.... and a Q65 willys jeep.... wanna upgrade both to be waterproof and stronger. any suggestions ???? great videos man !like the mn96 and mn45 ....seem like great cars for the price. Looking forward to playing and filming mine.

[@RunThatRC]

If you purchased RTR versions you can use conformal coating or plastidip is what tend to use to cover the esc and servo and use some marine grease to protect your gears in water. For the mn 99 I think some metal driveshafts would beef it up a bit. The Q65 i don't own but it looks like the wpl upgrade metal parts would work for it. Put a 2 speed and op metal upgrades with driveshafts and it should be a performer.

[@Jaysanook]

@@RunThatRC thank you very much for your advice . Keep up the great vids.

[@basantlj5951]

#iwantit It’s been a while I’ve been wanting to purchase this rig, but in India it’s 5000k , and that’s a lot of money here, so the upgrades we can’t afford😑, and wpl official site is not shipping it here. Oh and btw big fan of your videos, seen all your wpl videos👍 good job

[@Hjerte_Verke]

That's sad news because these rigs are all inexpensive and desirable. I hope the situation changes--because it doesn't make sense. India is closer to China than the rest of the western world.

[@totem_pole]

Received my one today. I have one issue with it though. When I turn it fully to the left, tyre(left) get caught with the shock. Any suggestions?

[@RunThatRC]

You might have to reposition the servo horn on the servo to fix the throw on both sides. Hope that works.

[@PedroSilva-yv5df]

#iwantit but i prefer the b36 km! Thats a Nice Ride!

[@buncho888]

Are the wheel weights available as a kit for this model or is it something you make yourself?

[@RunThatRC]

Not sure if the wpl wheel weights fit. But you can just wrap some solder a couple times around the rim and tape over it so it stays put. That seems to be a good wheel weight solution.

[@richardstevens8579]

#iwantit one of these is on my list of trucks to buy.

[@Jaysanook]

hey there fine sir! I got one of these .... transmitter works for the steering, but no accelerator . doesnt move at all ...just steering. What could be the issue ? I am a bit nervous with buying a bunch of replacement parts if it could an easy fix. Thanks in advance brother !!! bought an RGT 136100 for 100 bucks ..... best money I ever spent bro..... wish I bought two at the time and dropped this MN90

[@RunThatRC]

I would check the connections to the motor also check if battery is charged. If you just purchased it your best bet is to contact the seller and see if they can help you out. The only other option is just upgrade it with better electronics and you will like the truck even more.

[@garethmongold4891]

Would look great with my WPL C44 I ordered a few weeks ago! #iwantit

[@davesmith5016]

Hi mate Im really getting hooked on these MNs and WPLs is it best to buy them in kit form or RTR ? No too easy for a pensioner to buy them either way but man Im hooked just wish they didnt cost so much here in Australia Love your videos on them too going to do some myself when I work out how to. To much hi tech for an old fart like me Stay safe and take care

[@RunThatRC]

I always prefer kits over RTR but the newer mn RTR are good to start with because they are proportional now and when you upgrade just the electronics they perform pretty well even with stock motor and gearbox. I do recommend metal driveshafts for all these. Wpl I know are expensive but getting them in the KM kit versions is well worth it vs the other kits and RTRs in my opinion. Check out WPL-RC.com for the KM kits.

[@metalwaves4154]

Already trying to brake the mn99 and its not even off display 😉 great review i want to collect an mn models but we all now how that goes. Have fun rtr

[@RunThatRC]

Haha yeah. Hope they come up with something else and also cant wait to see what WPL has in the works!

[@modelnutty6503]

for a budget crawler that works, my budget BEAST might be "the IT"... C-14 with JJRC axles (diffs locked) and the Fayee rims/tires for the 3/4" extra width. the newer C-14 kits do come with metal axle gears, saves the 11 bucks and the hassles of the part swap (input shaft) of WPL to the JJRC real axle... might lose 1/8" of that extra width is all. of the WPL, that C-14 still *best* thing for crawling they created, just needs some weight in the front wheels, OR modify to open the hood as location to put the battery pack... is my opinion anyhow :)

Hey great video! I’m getting back into the RC game...came across the 99s. I’m about to buy one but wanted to grab some of the upgrades at the same time. What would you recommend off the bat? Also do the axel housings and most upgrades work across the mn-90-mn99s platform?

[@RunThatRC]

Nice! They are fun rigs and if you want to get serious with them they are upgradeable and cheap to do so as well. As far as the mn 90 to the 99 they are all the same and all the mn 90 upgrade parts will work. Don't purchase the wpl parts as they have shorter axles and would require you to mod your original plastic geared shafts(did this to my first mn d90 when upgrades for the mn d90 didn't exist).

[@modelnutty6503]

looks great for a RTR. Alibaba never came through on the tan B-36 gearboxes, found 2 of them in eBay this morning, and ordered two of the MN-D90 260 motor/gearbox setups too. Sunday did couple new vids, you can see the "siamesed #316 gearboxes" in action with the dual 130 motors in the red C-24, its more for trailing than climbing but climbs pretty strong too! edit: haven't snapped a plastic drive shaft yet, but do think they could be about 40% larger diameter for the mating male/female slide section. definitely had them slip on their splines at the axle inputs. worm gear drive... FAIL! it totally shredded itself in about 10 minutes... oh well (darnit). they really SHOULD wire the lights to be ON all the time, not motor connected.
