So CHEAP It Must Be BAD Right?

[@rcworldKenya]

Good looking rig. I was torn between the WPL C74 and this one. Decided to go with this. Done some minor changes on it and waiting for more upgrade parts and accessories. 👍 watching from Kenya

[@DoURC]

Ah excellent, I definitely think it's better than the WPL C74, that was a very underwhelming rig tbh. I think this MN82 looks better too, less cheap plastic looking than the WPL C74. 👍

[@RCBirds]

I really like the amount of details on it. The price's awesome too. It might not the best performing crawler but like you said for starting the NM82's really great

[@DoURC]

Yeah, for the money it's not bad at all. A couple of simple upgrades and you've got yourself a decent little rig. 👍

[@RCBirds]

@@DoURC I have to admid my eyes're focussed on the pro version as soon it's released😉

[@DoURC]

@RCBirds Yeah I guess it depends how much it costs. Its like with the WPL stuff, for the metal kits etc, sometimes by the time you add it all up, you could have just bought a better rig to begin with. 👍

[@julionieves8090]

With a bit of suspension work and the regular esc/receiver swap out. It would make a good friend for the fcx18 LC80. Or swap out everything from a doner LC80. And it would be an awesome truck.

[@DoURC]

Yeah it's definitely got potential and tbf isn't that bad out the box, especially compared to some other cheap rigs. 👍

[@crawlstockrc]

I don’t think much of the chassis but the body might be popular. Move the steering one notch down the servo arm you might get more throw

[@DoURC]

Yeah it's very cheap and cheerful, but it is only $50, definitely better than a WPL I'd say. Cheers for the tip mate. 👍

[@cstyle1917]

Yeah I bought the WPL C54-1 and it rolled if you looked at it wrong and the motor stripped out within half an hour. Comes nowhere near the reliability of the MN82.

[@jediahemanuel3179]

Bought one last week. Best money spent. It's just fun.

[@DoURC]

Yeah for the money it's decent, much better than the newer WPL's. 👍

@@DoURC any recommendations for a crawler. Budget $250 or cheaper. Can't afford a traxx. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@jonathanmcdonald5411]

Not too bad for a $50 rig! Nice vid.

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 Yeah was better than I thought it was going to be. 👍

[@NWrcadventures]

Nice run mate yes its cheap but it looks great the body is gorgeous imo and yes it handles surprisingly well for a cheap rc i got the red one and ive done a few videos with it it looks great on camera especially for scale type trail videos i think it will work well that all i did was change the tires made a massive difference in the trailing dept over rutts and slippery rocks i got the 68mm dj crawlers with the soft foam insert they are very soft and maliable so they are very easy to slip over the stock wheels on this rig id recommend them for that and are also super cheap in price like 13 dol a set and their very good tires

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much mate 👍 Yeah tyres are definitely the biggest weak point. For me I'd prefer it with oil filled shocks for nicer suspension movement. For the price it's not bad tbf. 👍

[@ka4172]

Bargain RC Crawler of the year,you get the most for the money. I think they sell it so cheap for selling upgrade parts again.

[@DoURC]

Yeah for the price it's pretty decent. 👍

[@bella0167]

I've purchased one as well definitely will upgrade the tyres.

[@DoURC]

Excellent, for the money it's a decent rig. 👍

[@harzcrawlz]

would be great if the -first- lin in the description direct me to the rc car.. but besides that, great video and awesome infos. might buy one to upgrade it like hell :)

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 I normally add a link in the description, but for things like this on Aliexpress etc, the listings change all the time so the links expire. Google is your friend. 👍😉

[@gargermaxpower2408]

Congratulations on the video! Just a question: this shift between speed 1 and 2 requested through the button on the controller, how is it done in the pickup truck? Is there a second servo (besides the steering one) that performs this speed change inside the differential? Thanks in advance... 😉👍🏻

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 No it's just a throttle rate change on the transmitter, nothing mechanical. It's not like a proper two speed tbh. 👍

[@gargermaxpower2408]

Thank you very much!!! 😃 👍🏻So, if the stock electronics are replaced in the future with a Futaba system and GT2 receiver (for example), and a new 20A brushed ESC, will the maximum acceleration provided by the new controller and ESC automatically be equal to speed 2 (the fastest) of the stock electronics?

[@DoURC]

@gargermaxpower2408 Yeah that's correct. 👍 Basically the stock electronics are just limiting the throttle, so say one speed is just 75% throttle and then the second speed is 100% throttle. 👍

[@gargermaxpower2408]

@@DoURC Thank you very much! 😃👍🏻 And are the stock plastic transmission tough enough?

[@DoURC]

@gargermaxpower2408 No problem 👍 I'm not sure tbh, I've only ran it stock. 👍

[@ollep9142]

Seems perfect to use as a loaner as well. Good for trail runs but not a climber. Adding some weight at the front (in the front bumper) should help crossing roots and such. As for replacing the wheels: What dimensions are the rims and tires? Are there other options available?

[@DoURC]

Yeah I think better tyres are the main thing. Tbf to it, it wasn't too bad and much better than I expected. I'll check on the wheel and tyre size. 👍

[@skrungusVEVO]

MN's promotional images list the wheel diameter as 62mm with the hubs themselves being 37mm

[@Anglian-Rc]

Nice 👌 I do have the red one of these. Did you ever manage to find different wheel/tyres?

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 I never got around to upgrading it, too many projects on the go! 😬🤣🤦

[@Anglian-Rc]

@ 😂 same I got the mn111 really nice scale body I’m currently trying to put new wheels//tyres on. I just ordered the new mn82s as well 😂

[@darrelllacey2433]

Could you do a video on the best 1/10 scale crawler to get for a first timer? .. Like someone new getting into it

[@DoURC]

I think that really depends on lots of things, like budget, what you want to use it for, scale or not etc. My advice would be check out some reviews of trucks you like the look of and decide on price. 👍 Got reviews of quite a lot in my Reviews playlist. My top two that I own are my FMS FJ40 and Traxxas TRX4 Defender 👍

[@ThiagoMedeirosGeo]

Hey there, I am looking for a cheap fun crawler just to play around. I noticed WPL kinda sucks for these, so it's between the MN82 or MN168 (Land Rover). Which of the two would you recommend? Cheers thanks for the great content

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 I haven't tried the MN168 yet, but it looks better than the MN82, other than the silly sized wheels. 👍

[@iancadwallender9779]

Great video.I have a few wpls,but really fancy one of these.I like to tinker and upgrade,could you tell me where you can get upgrades from?.wpl has a good store,but i cant find one for mn.Many thanks.

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 Aliexpress has a lot of upgrades for the MN models. I believe a lot of the WPL upgrades can fit MN models too. 👍

[@kyriakosdimitrakis1891]

Nice video! I ve ordered it yesterday and waiting for the preorder to shio. Can you suggest me some oil filed shocks? I would appreciate a link!

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 Hope you like it. I haven't tried any yet. You can buy oil filled shocks from MN, or get some from somewhere like Injora etc in the right size. 👍

[@toyelephantpounds]

Do you have a recommended tire upgrade for the stock wheels?

[@DoURC]

Not yet, I haven't tried anything yet. Will be taking some measurements etc soon to see what the options are. 👍

[@Ibitsm]

are they're upgrade parts for it and it says 1:12 scale so is it big or small like smaller than the trx4

[@DoURC]

Yeah you can get upgrades. It's smaller than a TRX4, as TRX4 is 1/10 scale. 👍

[@Ibitsm]

@@DoURC Ok thanks and is there like brand

[@Zed32_Customs]

Would you ever consider trying to upgrde the wheels and tires? Theyre pretty miserable, but it doesnt seem like you're exactly spoiled for choice when it comes to upgrades.

[@DoURC]

Yeah I was planning on upgrading it, just haven't had time. You can use better brands etc, just need to find out what fits. 👍

[@cstyle1917]

Metal wheels is the only thing I have gotten for mine. But then I did some trimming, switched back to plastic wheels and fit DJ Crawler 74mm tires.

[@DoingRC]

...nice video and very good explainations. I think, once who don't know mn models, can after your video decide to buy it or not. I can say it's a really nice trai truck for the price. And electronics are much better than the previous models has. Also the quality of the whole car seems solid. But for me it's no comparison to the wpl c74. It is a 1/10 and that's and that's the big difference to the mn 82. I think "sice matters".

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 I'd argue this is better than the WPL C74. I have both and the suspension movement on this is better, it doesn't feel as cheap and the electronics and slow speed control are better too. Plus I think the C74 looks cheaper than this too. If I had to pick, I'd pick this over the C74 hands down. 👍
