The Best Rc Truck MN Model makes. MN86KS Overview and Run. Remotoy.com. With bonus Water Run.

This is one truck I was about to just brush off as another MN Model. I can dig the style but wasn't too sure that it was any different from the prior MN models.
I'm glad I was wrong! This kit is a step up for MN Model and I was excited upon checking out the content and components of the kit. Seems to be made real well and worth its price but as always shop around. The performance was surprisingly better than I initially expected.
This product was sent to me courtesy of Remotoy.com.

Oh I was waiting for this vid!

[@TerryWhite-q6q]

That's a nice color. MN definitely stepped it up. Thing looks and sounds smooth.

[@RunThatRC]

It's impressive!

[@PatrickBaptist]

So in the long term how bad is the water for these? I've got C24 those do great with it but I've trashed a MN99S the other day and another jeep one I cant remember the model, but I ordered a 86S and it should be here in the morning and I'm stoked but I dunno about putting it in the creek after the other failures.... Thanks for the vid, I got the same color coming.

[@RunThatRC]

I have a mn99 thats brushless and waterproofed and thats been good for 5 years now. I waterproof all my RCs that I plan to dunk in water. I never just trust the stock electronics to be waterproof unless its hobbywing WP electronics.

[@andymerc190E]

I been patiently waiting for vid. MN has stepped it up, and done a proper job with this one. Just not too fond of the servo location, but it's better for performance. I say the colour suits it well, cause it's a Brabus. Great run!

[@RunThatRC]

Yeah servo on axle not my thing. At least its hidden well under there.

[@acrccrawlers9548]

Awesome. I just got me one of these still in the box but after watching this video i am really looking forward to putting it together and doing some trailing with it.

[@RunThatRC]

Definitely have been enjoying mine. Very very capable rig. Great build quality, performance and price. Outperforms my C34KM/C44KM builds with ease.

[@RunThatRC]

Nice! I have to try more technical stuff to determine if this can take down my C34KM build. I have climbed some insane stuff with my C34KM. This is a great platform to start modding for sure. MN Model has a great truck with this one. Now a yota body for it! Hahaha

[@benfred8]

Hey bud. Man I felt like a real baller having this kit about Christmas time. Before I had even seen English vids for it. Anyways I bought the steel drive shafts and I replaced the servo right off. Servo Jx PDI-2506MG 25g I also used my old trx4 electronics. TQI controller and receiver and the xl5H. This truck is great, I have tried to figure a away to attach the c44 body since it’s a bit longer then others. But I’ve come up short. Anyways I’m trying to mount the esc in the trunk and cut some avenues for all the wires. But like you said the door is crazy hard to open. But the front ones almost always pop open during runs. I’m printing a larger door handle for the rear since I didn’t get the KS edition. Eventually they may sell all the accessories but I’m thinking of filling the unused holes for a mew paint job. I got the white one. It looks like you can get the body by itself now with a black interior. Oh well, reddish pink is cool. Also making a instrument panel to stick on the dash. The engine bay is ripe for some 3D parts to make it look more scale. Have you seen this on mn-model website? I can’t find its homepage. It’s like it just appeared out of nowhere. The KS kit only came with front lights? I thought it had more lights included. Like the rear spotlights or something. If they grow this model line I think they could upend the small scale crawler market. Well you are my outlet for Rc talk and thanks for posting your videos.

[@RunThatRC]

nice! I wasn't even planning on reviewing one because I was assuming same deal underneath as mn d90 but I'm glad I gave it a chance. Very nice little trail rig. Enjoy and go Run That Rc!

this would be a good kit to get you going with kits. Goes together like a tamiya kit and quality is great. Easy enough to build and similar enough to 10th scale builds.

[@RunThatRC]

is yours a rtr or a kit? if its a rtr its hitting high amp draw protection. this happens to some of the models because they set the protection too low. If its a kit your electronics might not be up to the job to power this rig. Before all that check your battery to make sure thats not the issue.

[@biggsdarklighter4586]

David, do you think this is actually a 1/12 scale? Or like a 1/11th scale? It is an odd size, and I really like it!

[@RunThatRC]

its a good kit. It's between 12th and 14th scale imo.

[@biggsdarklighter4586]

@@RunThatRC Opinion, this or a TRX4? I have 6-7 WPL and an MN90. Love them all! Especially the low cost and accessorizing them. But there's just so so so much more available for 1/10th scale... I like the extra "technical" goodies and space to play in the TRX4. Locking diffs, dig, 2 speed, etc etc. But I also realize that a 1/10 probably won't get as much run time since my yard suits the smaller rigs better. I actually have the go-ahead to build a crawler course with a waterway from the wife, if I find the motivation lol! I went through your videos, pretty sure I saw you mention a TRX4 before, but couldn't find any videos on it....

[@RunThatRC]

@@biggsdarklighter4586 I don't own a trx4 but have a buddy with a sport and the Defender. Ran them and know they performed well box stock with the defender being top heavy. The mn86ks is not even close when it comes to performance and aftermarket support but for a trail truck its size it runs pretty well and I enjoy it. 10th scales need more space and terrain to benefit and enjoy all its got to give. The MN86KS is slightly bigger than the mn d90 and imo also requires some good space trails to run it on. I say get both hahaha!

Hi, I saw you ran the car in deep water. Did you cover your receiver chipset with anything ? Thanks !😊

[@benlee8618]

Or did you upgraded it to a waterproof receiver ? I was wondering if the stock receiver could survive in that deep water.😅

[@RunThatRC]

I have waterproofed the servo and used a waterproof 1060 hobbywing esc and Hobbyporter waterproof receiver.

[@Craigstern73]

I'm guessing no on the motorized servo step rails, surely the way they attach wont last long with any actual crawling. They just snap on, very cheesy but does look scale. I have the MN86K & didn't even realize there was a difference as I bought off of AliExpress. Hoping MN comes out with a K to KS package.. Don't really care about it being bushing as a crawler but would like the other accessories. But have to say even for a cheap $82 kit it is very cheap, the drive train is not very smooth, but maybe the crown & diff gears will break in some & quiet down some..

[@RunThatRC]

probably could have an accessory pack to ks equip in the future.

[@Craigstern73]

@@RunThatRC AliExprss did offer a 86K to 86KS kit for around $35 sometime last year, came with a red 20T motor & 2 pinions (1 was another 14T & the other taller),, bearings, front & rear bumpers, roof rack, snorkels & other accessories.. Well worth the money.
