Full Overhaul for the MN-82 Landcruiser!

This is a pretty model and it's not expensive. So, what's the catch?
Well, it's not a great crawler, despite live axles, locked diffs, servo on axle and low gearing. But as a trail rig, there's potential.
Can we make it better? I reckon we may just be able to! Let me show you what I've done with mine...

    I've got a few WPL models that are on par with MN, I believe and they are what they are. They look good bouncing down the trail and provide smiles for the boys and I. They can't compete with Axial, Traxxas, FMS, etc as far a performance, but they make decent rolling models. I like what you did with this truck. It looks fantastic and it does pretty decent on the trail. Fun little video. Thank you!

    it's a great looking truck i'll give them that but yeah, this feels like something you give someone that is a Toyota enthusiast but knows nothing about RC cars. i appreciate the effort and engineering you did to make it tolerable though 😁

    Newer revision of the PCB is conformal coated from the factory, unless it's market or seller specific

    As always I’ve seen worse & way better but price would be a big factor but personally I wouldn’t buy it maybe as a gift you’ve got it looking a lot better but the esc noise was killing me.😂

    I have a fondness of cheapo stuff then tuning it to perform. Great vid as always, fun little toy to mess around with 😁

    Looks very nice. And my favorite part of the hobby is fiddling with stuff and trying to make it better with minimal expense. Great video enjoyed it.

    I just picked one up on AliExpress for 35usd, figured if it's bad, it's so cheap it doesn't matter. Ordered a 370 motor and adapter, and some 68mm 1.3" wheels and tires. Should be an alright trail truck, not expecting anything crazy. I also have an MB100 ESC that can handle 370 size motor I may try out.

    Leaf springs without a shackle end will be pretty tough but you got them working! You did a nice job making this look pretty cool. I haven't been able to stay interested in the smaller scales despite attempts with the SCX24 The Injora S4 and S5 compounds seem to be proving themselves as quite capable. Hopefully we see more tires released in those compounds 👍
