my fav little mod for MN-D90 is using Fayee 6 spoke rims and tires, gains about 7/16" extra width over the stock tires+rims, helps prevent side tipping, and they don't look awkward or "monster truck" with a set. A285004 oil filled shocks are pretty nice on MN-D90 too.

Those wheels look odd on the Fayee though. Judging from side by side comparisons, the Fayee is too narrow and does not have the same scale fidelity as the MN90. I hate “monster truck” too...

@RunThatRC

my mn99s is still stock. If you want 2 speed then you would need new electronics as well. The WPL res V3 esc receiver combo with lights and sound kit can be used and you would need to either buy new leds or some how mod the Included leds by rewire straight to res V3 board. You can find the res V3 esc receiver combo here on the official Wpl website: WPL-RC official site: www.wpl-rc.com/?ref=DAVIDCLARK

Hi. I finally received my MN99S. It is very cool. I totally agree with you that what comes out of stock is already quite good. The suspension is a little fragile and even after adjusting the direction on the transmitter the car tends to deviate a little from the path when going in reverse. Did you check that too? It is normal? If I want a 2 speed gearbox upgrade and I have doubts in which one should I choose? There are now about 4 models... Anyway, it always requires to change the transmitter. Guess I'm going to a pistol style. Would you prefer Hobby Porter to FlySky GT3C? In your videos the sound of the WPL V3 sound kit does not seem suitable for this car in the case of diesel and in the case of petrol it seems a little strange, do you agree or is it some distortion in the video? This V3 model is not yet available, is it? In the sellers I saw the reference to a second generation... There is also a DumboRC with 4 or more channels and good price, any opinion on that? Could you explain better the matter of connecting the wires so that the front lights do not light up just when accelerating? Thank you. Keep up the good work.

Good work. I really enjoy your videos and all the info. I'm expecting a deliver of a MN99S anytime soon. What is the importance of having a nice transmitter and receiver vs 2 speed gearbox?

@RunThatRC

4 жыл бұрын

For me the way it is stock isn't bad at all. If you want better low speed control. The WPL V3 esc receiver sound kit with Tx(pistol style though). It's a great system specially if you want lights, engine sounds and winch functions in the future. I don't like how small the transmitter is but they perform really well and pack easy. That alone will be a noticable performance boost. The 2 speed will deliver even more low end control (and be more reliable of a gearbox) with the ability to switch to high gear so you can run the truck to the next obstacle without having to carrying the slow thing hahaha(recommend metal cvd driveshafts as well). As for a 2 gimbal style controller I have only been running spektrum so that's what I know and would recommend. Specially for my air stuff, I haven't had one plane or heli loose signal on me. I had a quadcopter brown out on me but the receiver had broken antennas from a couple crashes already. I heard flysky makes a decent tx. I have 2 ground or pistol style tx that flysky makes gt3c/b and the range and reliability have been great for me so the 2 gimbal stuff should be just as good.

If you want flexibility to use with surface and air, a good choice. FlySky does have a couple radios that are even supported in OpenTX. At minimum the FlySky 9x is supported, but I think the FS-i6 is supported too.

What upgrade(s) would you say is an absolute must considering budget limitations?

@RunThatRC

I would have to say for the mn99 to gain performance you would want metal cvd driveshafts, and wheel weights to start. If you want smoother crawl performance then I recommend the 2 speed gearbox but that would require new electronics like esc receiver or the wpl v3 esc receiver combo. those will dramatically change this trucks performance.

If you are referring to the shafts in the axles then no they won't work. (if you own a dremel)You can grind off the stripped ring gear and plastic outdrives from the MN Model shafts.

That is what i did but now you can actually search around and find the actual MN Model metal upgrade parts that come with the right size shafts.

to upgrade, they're stiff but the plastics are on splines, you can put pliers next to them and start tapping the pliers with a hammer to drive them off. with the brass ring gear reverse the process, the spline is harder and the brass wont budge once driven into place, but use the grub screw anyway.
