all of the shortcomings are forgiven for the sheer beauty of the body and potential of this truck. The plastics are good, the battery compartment is in the right place and a number of tire/wheel choices to choose from + the electronics are cheap enough to swap out to something decent. I'm happy MN came up with it...now I will have to buy it.

[@1598hi]

Don't do it. No parts availability it has no potential. Just get a competent builders kit and buy a cherokee hard body

[@BrendonakaShanks]

I like my crawlers with that low down control. It's why I buy crawlers with that and a drag brake. Can't always have what we want out of the box though, hence upgrades. But it's all fun and learning.

[@1598hi]

Doesn't have much for low down control because it is not powerful enough. You'll just hear the motor making noise but won't move until you're past crawl speed

[@rcworldKenya]

I still love this rig, am still modifying mine & am loving the results so far

[@DieTabbi]

have you links to the mods?

[@LuisCastro-zx8dv]

My little brother gifted me one of these for my birthday. IMO ,this thing is pretty good. Has lot of potential for add ons for detail and performance wise.

[@disbegroe1]

I really do appreciate these budget RC reviews. I am literally 3 weeks into the RC crawling game. My first crawler is the FMS FCX24 K5. With you and discipline RC, you have helped a lot. And now I'm looking at stuff for my grandson. 3 years old, I think this would work perfect for him, and as you pointed out upgrades. I get to learn he gets to play, win win. Thank you!

[@OffroadRC_YT]

Clearing up some misconceptions.. The body is 1:12. Jeep Cherokees are small. The rear door opens. Mirrors fold inward, this hasn’t been seen on MN Models! Wheels that will fit perfectly are the WPL V1 Wheels. And yes it does need a bigger motor.

[@nicka.9073]

Also, regarding the lights, if you hold down the button that toggles the lights there is a hazard light setting. Some sticky tires on these make a noticeable difference, but still could use more power.

[@1598hi]

If you're going to get a bigger motor you'll need a new trans too. Mine blew up after under 6 hours of very gentle use

[@OffroadRC_YT]

@@1598hi This comment was from a while ago but now that i think about it, changing the motor with the stock transmission isn’t good. I changed the motor for my MN99S and the gears got destitute very quickly.

[@1598hi]

@OffroadRC_YT My transmission failure was recent. The thing served it's purpose for me. I didn't want to go off the deep end and spend a ton of time and money building my own custom scale rc before I knew for certain that I would use it CONSTANTLY. Best of luck if you plan to upgrade this thing, not really much out there for upgrade parts it's an unsupported platform. Maybe you can find a metal gear transmission and some tires that aren't so stiff! I didn't have any luck with finding any good shocks, just some injora ones with zero travel and one blew out after a couple hours of run time total. Maybe at least you could paint it up

[@DatboiYugo]

It's very much 1:12, the XJ Cherokee is a compact suv while the G Wagen is full sized

[@AlyToppo1]

It's always good when you upload a new vid keep up the good work

[@TomleyRC]

Thank you

[@brsrc759]

I'm bummed out you never did an upgrades video on this one

[@Isuzu_Paul]

So what I'm hearing is it's performance is scale with the actual vehicle, Cherokees are ok off-road, but in general need a lot of modifications to perform well. Me ad my wife will be ordering a pair of these.i assume stuffing a wpl 2 speed 370 will make a world of difference.

[@just.jose.youtube]

I used that 2 speed on a MN99S and it did make a difference! :)

[@masjuggalo]

Hey man XJs and MJs are awesome...as long as you get the I6

[@Isuzu_Paul]

@@masjuggalo I've owned one before, it was an 88 Laredo. It was a decent vehicle. But to make it off-road worthy requires a lot. I did some simple offroading/ trail riding with it before someone decided to wreck it for me. It was ok.

[@masjuggalo]

@@Isuzu_PaulI like mine definitely room for improvement but compared to not a wrangler it does pretty good stock

[@mattmcnew5080]

It requires nothing. Xj will beat most any vehicle offroad. You don't need major modifications. Xj is one of the most capable offroad vehicles stock

[@mikeupton5406]

That is a really scale rendition of a Jeep Cherokee. Very cool review.

[@1598hi]

That's definitely the curb appeal of this rig. The hardbody and the light kit are the beginning and the end of the pros though!

[@steverodarte3961]

Hi there from California! So I just had the mn78 out in the yard because I'd say it's one of the best mn models yet. Maybe I received a newer version? Anyhow, thank you as always for the content!

I appreciate your videos, I recently bought one of these, anticipating that it would be bad because it is practically the consensus of the internet reviews but I was in for a big surprise when it arrived. Apparently there is a new version, because the car I received has nothing to do with the one in most of the old videos, mine is blue, but it's a metallic blue and not the solid one, It already comes with the rear lights painted and the modulation and torque are very different from what we can see in the video, it works exactly like the recently launched mn82, which I consider to have very good modulation.

[@jitihunt21]

I agree with you. I've seen some of the latest mn78 videos and it looks like it has enough torque so there's no need to pull the lever very far. minus MN is social media like Instagram, I'm sure if they had Instagram like WPL they would definitely broadcast small updates on MN78. like WPL C74 which has made several updates..

[@potatus5052]

Actually it's pretty good 👍 it comes with a decent transmitter compared to the same priced mn99s

[@radunit4805]

Mn surely came a long way from having underwhelming rtrs to better performing ones today. The newer mn78's have better motor and throttle modulation in them. Even the shocks are better. Cheers! Also long press the light sw setup to get the hazard lights

[@fishnrc294]

This RC falls into the not really good at any one thing & the question is do you leave it like it is or upgrade it. A lot! So is it worth it? And the funny thing is this is how RC enthusiasts are we buy 500$ RC”s & replace so much on it you have a parts pile of all the original stuff that added to that 500$ price. So not only are you loosing that money you are then buying a bunch of custom upgrades included all the electronics. But this is how it always goes it’s part of RC & we have the freedom to do anything with them we want. And as far as hobbies I’ve been an avid mountain biker for over 25 years & bikes were no different buy a bike replace almost everything. But way more expensive. I learned early to learn to work on your own stuff & learned not to buy cheap stuff & paying more is worth it. Basically get the good stuff & have less to worry about & more time riding. Same for RC especially Crawlers don’t waste your money on cheap unreliable stuff that will cause more down time & less trail/Crawling time. It’s definitely not 1:10 scale but I like it not exactly sure why but if I did get one I think I’d just leave it like it is every RC has its niche & this one is just a cruiser not a crawler. Very light trail RC with an emphasis on Light!

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

That’s pretty much how my sons MN99s performed! Same issues as that! Great look though!👍🏻

[@khalidmuhammad1991]

can't wait for this one modified video 🤩

[@TomleyRC]

Me neither

[@Isuzu_Paul]

@@TomleyRC I do look forward to seeing how you modify this. I had in mind a dumbo Rx x6 dcg with a hobbywing 1060 and maybe some mn99 tires

[@wordreet]

Though I'm not interested in anything smaller that 1/10th, this isn't bad for the money, especially with that decent scale body including interior. If the shox have "O" rings and a top seal, I'd stick some olive oil in there! I've used it in my Carisma Range Rover and although it's a bit rolly polly due to no sway bars, it's very smooth looking.

[@obsidiannightwolfe13]

They don't. It's the very cheap friction shocks with plastic slots and not even piston. I ordered new shocks and hopefully that helps some with its rolling over

[@wordreet]

@@obsidiannightwolfe13 To be honest, I don't even know what those friction dampers look like.

[@obsidiannightwolfe13]

Like what you would find At walmart

[@wordreet]

@@obsidiannightwolfe13 Ah, well since we don't have Walmart in the UK, that'll be why I never saw one of these toys. I think we have a cheapo store/supermarket chain that's owned by Walmart called Asda.

[@dexterbeattie7884]

I am looking forward to see what you do with it! love the XJ cherokee

[@grrfy]

I think they were after the word Tough.tbf it's a weird word when you look at it.I wonder how it would work with a esdt70 inside?

[@TomleyRC]

Yes… strange

[@crutch958]

I may have to get one because it looks just like my 2001 cherokee except my fender flares are the same silver as the truck, definately would like to see you upgrade this thing in to a beast lol!!!

[@Jeeplee_rc]

The mn99 land rover was my first scale crawler. It's just the body mounted on a full custom rock bouncer chassis now.

[@crawlingcarpinto8218]

Has it got proporcional steering?

HI PHIL LOOKS GOOD STOOD STILL 🇬🇧👍🏼 HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEK SIR.

[@littlesargent1247]

I love the looks of it, I’m a major xj fan, so I might consider getting one and upgrading it

[@1598hi]

No aftermarket parts support. Buy a competent 1:10 scale builders kit and buy an injora xj hardbody if you want a fair scale look. This is not worth your time

[@humancalculator711]

it looks more like a 1/16 or 1/14 but looks really cool still

[@TomleyRC]

Yes agree, not big enough for 1/12

[@NCmountainsYouTubeChannel]

Looking forward to the upgrades 💯👌👍

[@DargoDog]

Awesome video!!! How does this rig scale to Tamiya/Lesu semi trucks?

[@Moggmodels23]

Nice video Tony keep it up your doing well 👍😀

[@tiagovarao]

For that price, you actually get a lot, so I see no reason for complaints...

[@CorporalHudson]

yes, some people expect the entry level rcs to be the same as the 500usd 1:10 beasts lol

[@THYC]

So happy to see something new from MN 🤤 The new chassis has got some good potential with some soft tyres, oil shocks and some new electronics I think it would do very well on the trail. Throttle modulation on MN RTR trucks has always been 'twitchy' 😅

[@TomleyRC]

Honestly… they’ve had yes to sort it out, and still… 🙄. But… such a nice body 👌

[@THYC]

@@TomleyRC it does look very nice fairplay 🤤 It seems they went for control at one point but then lost the power the old RTRs were known for.

[@acche-rc]

Mn86ks was not twitchy at all out of the box, but they somehow messed it up for their last 2 or 3 models since then

[@semperatis]

I think that even WPL's new 16A esc would help this out no end Phil.

[@SlickDiecast]

This one is cool! Would love to have it

[@ArmanRC]

however this is a great model indeed, but yes it just only for who want to fun with epic trailing. just daily trailing. but when we want to get more power then we have to cost more and more and more part until its run well. thanks for sharing tomley rc

[@hamm3068]

I’m getting this and tires is gonna be the first thing I’m upgrading

[@brownriceprod]

Is there any difference underneath as mn99?

[@RenegaeDraemeR]

is there somehwere I can find the hub diameter so I can buy new wheels? thanks!

[@blaingunter]

5mm, you can buy 5 to 7mm adapters that will allow for what I think is a more standard hub diameter.

[@skdzgameplays2078]

i wonder @Tomley, what about mixing the wpl electrics into this MN and see if any better?

[@hugomx5387]

How does this one compare to an wpl c series in size

[@obsidiannightwolfe13]

When will you be doing a review on their new model of mn128. The size looks closer to the 86 and it looks like a good base to build up😊

[@obsidiannightwolfe13]

Or even an update on what helped fix this one to make it better

[@joeylandry4933]

Thanks for showing the interior. Now I know for sure they can't fit 1/12 or 6 inch action figures. *lmao*

[@rcchallenge8626]

I don’t think anybody who has been around for a minute would buy an MN without already having a 1060 and a few other upgrades ready to add. Like you said it’s more a rig for those that love the scale and enjoy upgrading there rigs out the box, certainly plenty of aftermarket parts for them. Gr8 vid for what it is I pref the Cherokee over the Gwagon although whistling diesel has inspired some interest in the Gwagon recently 😂

[@caseys_cozy_garage]

Am I the only one that sort of likes the turn signals?

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

I absolutely LOVED my MN99 when I got it. More so than my WPL stuff because it checked off all the boxes for me. So, if it's anything like the MN99/s, everyone will be modding these with ALL the parts. BUT, since there seems to be space limitations with the newly designed skid plate. I wonder how much luck people will have cramming a 370 motor in there with a gearbox and still have a complete interior. Then one has to ask themselves if it's worth the massive investment of time & money to get one running at peak performance. Great beginner/intermediate/scale enthusiasts kit. However, much to be considered. I have also heard there are currently problems with shipping. So people may want to wait a bit longer until they hear some success stories.

the mn78 isnt for rock climbing its more of an offroader rather than an rock climber and its for the road too it explains why it has blinkers

Idk about a g wagon but a Cherokee looks small next to a 4 door wrangler😢

[@markfessey2282]

I'm quite new to the RC looking for a cheap starter crawler. I was eyeing up the MN78 originally but there's so many other budget crawlers out there. Which would you recommend? Thanks. Love the channel btw 😁

[@1598hi]

If you haven't made a move yet I'd find something else. Definitely not a bad idea to start with a really cheap and just verify that you will actually use it frequently before building your own nice scale setup

[@philippshobbyecke]

Der sieht bis jetzt am besten aus. Vielleicht probiere ich MN doch nochmal. Anständigen Receiver und Stoßdämpfer rein und dann geht das schon klar. Wenn dann noch die Reifen passen sollte das ziemlich gut werden.

[@philippshobbyecke]

For shelf art or seems like good value. Better that a die-cast car.

[@АвиторЖытанов]

Problem with mn is that they make Crawlers with gearbox for things like wpl d12 Even wpl c24-1 having less powerful motor have more torque, just slowing the speed would do wonders but for some reason they stick to the high speed setting

[@WillyBike]

Maybe a future video upgade this? With better performance Will be great!

Why don't MN Models listen? I don't mind for myself because I enjoy the challenge of sorting them out, but you've explained to them where they're going wrong time after time, and they keep repeating the same mistakes.

after my 1st MN D-90, never again. too much like work to get it performing half decently. WPL actually pays attention to customer feedback.

[@mraltoid19]

So, does this one lean more towards the MN45/MN40 or is it closer in quality to the MN86?

[@OffroadRC_YT]

Probably closer to the MN99s. It only needs a few mods like better wheels and a stronger motor. The body is actually 1:12 scale not smaller
