Just a note: if you want to soften springs, generally speaking you stretch them in length then cut off the extra. shortening them really only adjusts ride height. It's really the size of the wire and how stretched they are that controls softness or hardness.
Just bought one, thanks for talking me into it. I got a MN99S2 that was delivered yesterday and it's already destroyed axle shaft and drive shaft broken, hopefully the gwagon does gooder.

I'm smack damb in the middle of 2 builds at the moment. But I'm sure this will at some point make it on my list. The Axial Capri is turning out to be much more challenging of a build then I expect. Not as in complicated but as in cost. To put all the shiny parts on in the right places and adding rear steer is well Tomley I don't have to tell you. If anyone else is thinking about doing it my suggestion is move the plastic front to the back and buy a metal (aluminum) axle for the front. And later upgrade the back. It may not look the best but it will save you a few hundred in the beginning. That is if your going to do metal axles . I am and and I didn't. Wished I had took my own advice.
Looks so much nicer than the white version. Love those wide fender flares. AND now I know what a 'Chelsea Tractor' is. Sounds like a 'Soccer mom's' SUV in the US.
Fantastic build, dude! Nicely done! 😃 The build video part was great! And what a sweet little truck, hum? 😃 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Think there known as Mall Crawlers across the pond! Where I live in Bradford these things are everywhere saw a brand new one with the LED rear lights just today!
What an excellent build montage - it must have made the build take quite a lot longer. I sometimes wonder how you manage to juggle full-time employment, parenthood and your channel - you must be very good at time management! This initial run video is very gratifying to watch - it´s very satisfying to see how well the trcuk rides with proper shocks.
Thanks Del. You'll notice my top changed about 3 or 4 times in this video lol.. it was recorded over about a week. I'm very good at time management now...lots of practice haha. That montage is probably the biggest file I've ever had to work with...glad you enjoyed, luckily the recording was the long bit... the editing wasn't too bad...and the song was quite forgiving as it was quite a high tempo.
@@TomleyRC I particularly like the way you cut the song @ 4:27 and had a few seconds of natural audio before returning to the music - and by the way, I think it´s a good idea to show just how generous you are with the grease in those gear and transfer boxes, as well as the diffs. Gears love lube!
Chelsea Tractor - four wheel drive that never see's off road use. My land cruiser is decidedly not a Chelsea tractor, it's been stuck up to the transfer case on more than one occasion and had a river washing up the windscreen at Drumclogg in Scotland. We'd driver along that river the day before, the tent got flooded out from the rain storm over night.
Been wanting to add something to my fleet. Thought about a new body for my HG p401 or my EMAXX, then I've watched several videos of this truck. Same money for a quality hard body or a full RC truck. Hmmm Guess, for $103 delivered, a no brainer. This had a hard body and interior too. Gonna order this right NOW!!! See ya!!! Thanks. Getting the Quicrun 1080 ESC too, and a waterproof servo. Probably use a small plastic box or a balloon for the receiver. But. Thank you dude. You helped me make a decision I've been struggling iver for at least a month. Oh isubbed!
If you don’t want to build a kit and want to get something that has good parts support I would suggest “Team Associated CR12 Tioga Trail Truck RTR 1/12 4WD Rock Crawler” it’s about $180 in the states with free shipping!
Really cool. MN definitely upping their game. Better looking and nice scale build. Definitely more of a trail truck rather than a crawler. Nice nonetheless 👌 great video Phil!
Keen to purchase one of these just for the G wagon body! I purchased the Ravine based on your previous videos, and have started documenting and filming the abuse I put it through
Is there a chassis servo mount kit/option for it? Nice build video mate! Love the fold out steps, what a detail to have!? 👌Well worth the extra cash over the original one! 👍🍻
What wheel's are they, I wouldn't mind them for my black MK86, saying that it's all black at the moment so look's a little more gangster than Chelsea tractor.
Add .39 cents to each dollar for pounds to usd so that esc is closer to $16-17 then$12. I'm in canada so its a different number for me, closer to $20-21
Chelsea Tractor is a term for a city dweller's mode of 4x4 transportation. The owners of these vehicles always have paranoid delusions of catastrophic misfortune and somehow feel the need to drive the most ungainly and uneconomical cars solely within an urban environment
That same thought process of making fun of somebody because they drive a large 4x4 in the city to feel safe is the reason you brits in the UK have no fun or freedom anymore, you make fun of each other and those that don’t comply and then turn around and wonder why your all the same and being oppressed. If there’s somebody driving a “Chelsea tractor” I’d wouldn’t give 2 dumps, he can do whatever he wants so long as it doesn’t affect me or others immediately around me. That’s freedom, to be free without remorse of others “opinions” about your “Chelsea tractor”

In Canada we call em "mall crawlers"
Mall crawlers here in the USA
@@TomleyRC Got one for ya, what's "dog grapes"? No it's not a part of their anatomy.
Indeed the best looking cheap crawler!
The rims and tires compliments well with that body shell color.That oil filled shocks does the job as well.
Between 8:20-8:27. lyrics match up with truck action. WHAT??? so cool
Thank goodness, a truck I won’t buy after the video..... cos I already bought it after the other video 😅
Haha
But have you bought all the upgrades?

The extra trim does make it a little better looking. Yes... soccer mums in their SUVs
I think the S in "KS" Stands for scale (Kit Scale) I may be wrong, but what I'm sure of is that I enjoyed the video!
I think its "Kit Special" 😆
@@mohd.ramzirahimih6518 it may as well be! I thought Kit Scale because the other one was also Kit but this one has more scale accessories
Nice Chelsea Tractor build mate 🤩
That G wagen is so nice! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 the building part made it even better!
Fantastic build, dude! Nicely done! 😃
The build video part was great! And what a sweet little truck, hum? 😃
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Cheers mate. It took a while to record, but came out ok in the end
@@TomleyRC May I ask if the NM86S is any better or worse than the NM99S? I have no idea which one to choose :-/ Thank you VERY much!
Loved the tune, epic way to end oh the car right yeah love the looks dude.
I like a good bit of music. A lot don’t though, so glad you enjoyed it 😎
@@TomleyRC loved it all mate just have fun with it.
Nice piece of kit for the money mate. Looks great and performs . Great, great video 👍😎😊👍
Thanks Tony. Looks really nice!
These are the best mn models yet!
Yes agree
Think there known as Mall Crawlers across the pond! Where I live in Bradford these things are everywhere saw a brand new one with the LED rear lights just today!
I think "Chelsea tractor" means the same as a "mall crawler" here in the United states.
Like it! Wish we had parking spaces big enough like you have over there.

In KS motor should be RED colour 20T.
Rims looks awesome! Will it fit to stock tires?
Rims have stock tyres on them already 👌
@@TomleyRC are you sure that stock tires fit to those new hubs?
@@VAGtuner Well the alloy rims on this build have the stock tyres on them... so err... yeah lol
@@TomleyRC thank you. I will try it too!
Wow!!!!!! I am going to order one of these!!!! Great recommendation brother!!!!!
No probs dude
What a size of your tires? Were did you buy it? I only found a rims
Stock tyres. I think they are 1.9s
Another great video Phil 👌 I now know what I want for my birthday!!! Really do like wpl and mn products.
Is it waterproof?
Any modifications to improve the direction of the wheels? More route ...
A slightly longer servo arm would work... but there’s not much room
Reminds me of building my Orlando Hunter micro crawler except this looks a little less stressful and a pain due to the size difference lol
Yes, less stressful than an Orlandoo
Those oil shocks really step up the scale value a notch or two
Really cool. MN definitely upping their game. Better looking and nice scale build. Definitely more of a trail truck rather than a crawler. Nice nonetheless 👌 great video Phil!
Thanks mate
Awesome lil rig! Great editing on the build!
Thanks 😎
Great video Bro! The MN beautiful!!
really getting into these rcs thnx to your channel
No probs Jake
When i first tuned in i was ok now what kind of jalopy is this thing so i watched and now im all loving this lil truck you did such a nice job on it
Great build montage!
Thanks Ron
This is a pretty sweet kit! Those oil shocks really make quite a difference! Really impressed with this one Phil! As usual great videography!👍🏻👊🏼😎🤪
Yes, they do... and that reminds me.. I forgot a link to them!
Epic build i gotta get that after watching this build thanks buddy
Have you ever done any tube bending for making crawler frames? Would really like to see some scale crawler builds on the Channel 💪 👹🇬🇧👿😍🎃👍😄
I’d love to something like that. I work full time, so scale projects take time, and I’m a bit tight for time! Lol
Awsome vehicle love the no solder connection.wish they could do that to all
Yes, much easier
Yes plus eliminates some exp
Cool kit and build
The 1/12 scale looks pretty legit. 🥓🇨🇦
Nice review tom..i'm new in RC..great info n best video 😉👍
Keen to purchase one of these just for the G wagon body! I purchased the Ravine based on your previous videos, and have started documenting and filming the abuse I put it through
That's a nice lookin unit.
Excellent vehicle👍🏻
Do a video on mt tyres and wheels PLEASE! Decent 1s with minimal blooning
Chelsea tractor= pavement princess here in the states. Not to be confused with Tacoma ricer😆
Its a beautifull truck
Love the vids keep them coming
Is there a chassis servo mount kit/option for it? Nice build video mate! Love the fold out steps, what a detail to have!? 👌Well worth the extra cash over the original one! 👍🍻
I’ve not seen a chassis mount kit... but there is room next to the motor, so there’s the option there
I have found one on thingiverse if you have a 3d printer 👍
Nice video good👍👍💯💯🎊🎊
What wheel's are they, I wouldn't mind them for my black MK86, saying that it's all black at the moment so look's a little more gangster than Chelsea tractor.
Not enough kits out there!
Well, hello from Malaysia !!
Hello 😎
Great build
Definitely need to soften those shocks up
thats way too much off road for a pavement princess , I was expecting school run then a trip to the supermarket 🤣 looks nice truck to be fair bud 👍
Looks good 👍thanks for sharing 👏
I already like the old one so this new one looks mad. But a 80 or 90 series Toyota Land Cruiser would be amazing
Do you have a new link or name for the beadlock wheels you put on your MK86k I’d love some for mine.
Add .39 cents to each dollar for pounds to usd so that esc is closer to $16-17 then$12. I'm in canada so its a different number for me, closer to $20-21
Well, that math is just loony. ;)
already have strong motor for climb with other mn family😍😍😍
That's pretty sharp 👍🏾
Great video. I've put my own version together but can't find a battery that fits. What did you use? Any idea where I can get one please.

wlt 144001 shocks bolt right in and give more travel.
I’ll add a link to them in the description
I'm building a Toyota pickup right now rock crawler from wpl toys can't wait to get it together and try it
Doesnt the fender touch the tyres if going at the rocky trails?
I've been using those esc for a while now, I do like them. Rated to 12v. Definitely a "G" wagon
I'm german and even I know what a Chealsea Tractor is. ;'D We say "I don't want to get my rims dirty-SUV" xD
Where can I purchase KS accessory kit? I just want the spare tire with mount.
Do you use the original mn86ks tyres to fit in the after market 1.9 beadlock wheel ?
😂 Chelsea tractor!
Hi! Please can you a review a Team associated SC28
Just wondering if you’re going to do a review of the mn128 ?
can the 390 mn86k or mn86kks motor, be replaced with a brushless ...?
On 5.42 you said no soldering needed, how and what's the name of the connector is that?
Shocks - HBX? Gotta a model number pls
Will add a link when I find them
Seems like a very good deal there Phil.I'll maybe try and pick one up for myself one day.

....and they're frequently still dressed in their pajama's and housecoat too.
We call them Pavement Princesses where I'm from in the US.
Like the failed hummer h2.
Is it good for climb? Standard ....not enough budget for upgrade huhu
i have 2 of those esc and they ok.they handle about 80km/h round 10 min and wasn`t hot but no 3s of course that thing will explode
Yes, not bad for the money
what kind of grease should you use for the gears? Do you need to grease the ball bearings too with the same or different grease?
Sorry to bother. Were you able to put the original tires on beadlock rims? how? thanks
Was up guys hop yall all have a good day
Still waiting for mine!
Will the metal axles fit from the MN all metal chassis?
Hope we see a few upgrade parts for the KS
How did you get a transmitter for that? Cause i bought one and it didnt came with a transmitter
It’s a kit... you have to supply your own
@@TomleyRC is there a remote/transmitter compatible for that g63?
That looks really nice Phil, how tough would you say the building is for an 8 year old ,are there lots of small fiddly bits ?
I think with supervision. It’s. A bit fiddly, and some of the screws are tight
I like it!! Thanks!!!
Can I put that weels and tires in my Mn90 1/12?
So when will they release the rtr?
They have... video a few weeks back
Just need a driver in the cab
Lots of Ghost Drivers in the scale universe.
I'm fan now :D

Did you fill the tire with foam?
No Foams
