[@YoShImUrA53]

Hey David, been researching through your videos about MN D90s and its variants, and never caught my eye that you have side windows on your light green rig where no MN is sold like this, as you point in this vid. How did you find those? Did you custom make them? Have you ever explained how in a vid? I'd love to get this car, but the need for committing to a total build, both in upgrading performance as well as dressing it up to make it look more scale, is as challenging as is off putting in some regards like making these windows. TIA and great content as ever, dude!

[@Hjerte_Verke]

Thought I'd answer this even though I'm a year late. Clear windows are easy to add with clear plastic cut to size. Use clear acrylic sheet, clear styrene, or plastic from a "blister" product package. Another good source for plastic is to use a clear CD 'jewel' case. The clear plastic of a CD case is optical quality without distortion.

check your battery to make sure its charged and all the connections arent loose to esc or motor. May have a disconnect somewhere or if not it may be a bad esc receiver.

[@kokhowe]

Personally, I think the additions of the turning and reverse lights is a good upgrade, but its a pity that it doesn't come with engine sound like the new control board offered by WPL.

[@RunThatRC]

WPLs sound kit/esc receiver combo is in a whole different league. Wish they at least gave a way to control the lights through the transmitter instead of the same old transmitter. You don't use your turn signals on a crawl course/trail lol.

[@RunThatRC]

You don't need to worry if you want this light kit the link is in the description. If you have wiring experience and soldering then you can get the wpl sound kit v2 and buy some LEDs and you will have a way better light kit with sound and the ability to use the wpl transmitter to control the sound and lights. If you have a mn96 or mn99 the kit in that link will be plug and play for those.

old ear bud headphone wire, some 1/8W 470 ohm resistors and some colored LED's is cheap/easy to come up with for all the marker/running lights, reverse light LED's get wired to the motor leads with any little 2 pin connector.

Do you know if you can put an engine sound module on the MN99s 1/12?

[@RunThatRC]

you definitely can. Some of the light kits for 10th scales are small enough, specially the all in one units. I know they make sound kits for the little orlandoos those might work for you. You will need to be running standalone electronics. I dont think you can make it work with stock electronics because it need the signal from the receiver to know the throttle inputs for the right sounds.

I owned the mn99s for a long time and in 2022 I purchased 2 more and the 2022 version came with a different color 260 motor that was definitely stronger and it has the official green land rover emblem on the grill and says land rover on the hood. They also must have changed the electronics because the little headlights still light up but the big headlights stay on all the time too. Different colored wires underneath and different colored on/off switch.

my D90 the older original, eBay shopping: 9 bucks for front+rear axles with metal bevel gears, 6.50 for two brass bevel pinions (axle inputs), 6.50 for two metal drive shafts, 5 bucks for a 260 motor+gearbox. 27 bucks total. it got oil shocks that arrived the day before the kit did, so it's never had a run on the stock ones. I like the look and performance of the Fayee 6 spoke rims+tires on it (5 bucks for 4), slightly smaller diameter, about 7/16" total wider track, and square face tread to make the most of the little extra width. they'd look great on the silver/black! 2 full wraps (16 turns) 2 mm solder to the front rims for climbing.

So I bought the WPL C24 metal kit and assembled it after watching your videos. It was very satisfying. Can you give me some ideas as to how to go about converting the MN-45 to full proportional? Thanks!

[@RunThatRC]

at the minimum you would need a esc receiver or the wpl esc receiver combo and a 3 wire steering servo and maybe steering horn and links( not sure how the none proportional steering setup looks like). The motor should work for now unless you want to go 2 speed with metal driveshafts. these are all wpl parts I have been recommending btw hope that helps.

The top rear running lights on mine are clear but you make them red by adding the lenses, but the lower inside ones are red LEDs and have red lenses. Those need to be switched with the clear ones and the red ones put in their place, plus you need clear lenses for the reverse light. The turn signals are still amber/yellow LEDs.

I'm running the shorter Fayee rims+tires too, so CG is a bit lower with more track width = stability. with stock wheels (taller) the tray screw holes are about right. at the axle mount, barely open larger with a drill bit, put the shock on and a tubing spacer, then the screw. nice threaded bodies is easily adjustable and the spring weight is just about right too. they're usually 13-14 bucks for a set of 4.

@@RunThatRC what is a good tire size for the mn99s I'm new to this lol

[@SPEEDTER601]

Hay Dave, mine is on its way 👍😁👌I ordered the metal frontbumper and the skidplate with it, as well as 4 c34 wheels I think they look more scale. Nice to see it.👍

[@RunThatRC]

Nice! Yeah the c34 wheels and tires are nice.

Never been a fan of that style of radio. Can you swap it for a standard 2-stick radio?

[@RunThatRC]

like the air style radios? If so, yes if you upgrade the electronics to your own. then you can use a stick style radio with a air receiver. I've done it being from the stick style era as well. I just got used to these and like these types now for my ground and water RCs.

@@RunThatRC Thanks!

[@muhguyva8395]

Just got the MN99s and I'm curious if you've found a good way to keep the headlights on without applying throttle. Was thinking about tapping them straight into the running lights. We'll see when it shows up tomorrow.

[@RunThatRC]

I haven't messed with it. The lights are directly soldered to a board that holds the lights in place. Not sure if the headlights need to be on the board to complete the circuit for everything to function properly. I may try and desolder them and wire them up to the running lights like you said. But I might also change the headlights to a more scale halogen style yellowish light.

[@muhguyva8395]

Thanks for the input. I guess I'll have to wait till it shows up to get a better look. Never really messed with the toy grade stuff, but these are so inexpensive I don't mind hacking it up. Do you know if you can bind a different transmitter to these 2 in 1 boards?

[@RunThatRC]

@@muhguyva8395 never tried binding it to another tx. Wonder if anyone knows the protocol they use? The electronics are sub par still and I end up replacing them with my own. These wpl and mn model are my first dive into cheaper RC kits. I had nothing but nitro rigs like the tmaxx, Rs4 touring cars, kyosho and losi buggys, short course trucks. Now I'm pretty much full electric besides my OG TMAXX. I just wanted a little Toyota crawler to build and mess with and I found these little tinker toys. I enjoy them as much as my pricier rigs. It's fun to push its limits because parts are affordable. You will enjoy it once you find the setup you like. So many ways to go about your build so have fun bro!

[@muhguyva8395]

Now I see what you mean about lights being integrated. Yeah, not worth the effort.

[@RunThatRC]

That was my feeling too when I took a lot at them. Don't know why they had to go this route but o well hahaha.

What is the difference between mn99 and mn99s

[@RunThatRC]

I think its just color and lights.

@@RunThatRC okay thank you

[@christopherantonio3453]

Can i still use my stock remote transmitter if i upgrade it to brushless motor w/25 amp ESC

[@RunThatRC]

no unfortunately that only works with the electronics that are included. You would need a esc, receiver and transmitter(controller) to go brushless.
