Hi I have an MN999 and I'm going to repaint it. I saw your video about painting and re assembly can you remember what paint you used and the colours you used. I like the look of the green and sand together. Also, the wheel arches screws Where can i get some from? i dont know the sizes. Thanks for all the fantastic videos you do most helpful
Thanks for the nice words. The paints are London Colours bought from VIP Graffiti Paint. I was recommended them by an artist, who proffered "They're made to stick to dirty trains, so they'll stick to anything" The colours are Bow Road and Bush Hill Park. I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Less being made at the moment.. life gets in the way somewhat!
@@rcpie more clearance and flexibility my good sir. The only issue is I swapped out the rear but for the front I can’t find the bottom mounts. I even removed the portals and there was no screw to remove the bottom mount of the front shocks
@@valleymade9563 There is a long grub screw that goes in from inside the hub carrier (C-bracket). If you've removed the portal assembly you should be able to see it.
@@valleymade9563 I still wouldn't change them, especially for a different length. Any more travel will definitely mean more body rub and is likely to end up with some horrid body roll with this heavy body sitting on top. I think the stock clearance is excellent and if you put a bit more weight on each corner it'll mean that you'll stretch out the travel you've got when you need it.. almost a semi-droop setup.
Maybe you'd be best checking the title to get an idea of what the video is about. That way you might not be unduly disappointed. I try to make it simple by always separating unboxing, first drives, trails and rock tests. Thanks for the feedback, though.
@@rcpie yes. What I normally do is rotate the axel with my hand, and that unbinds the motor. It works for a while and then binds again. My ESC is a generic one.
$100 is a low threshold. You'll have to go small and OK, very small and good or second hand and lucky. Small, I'd say an MN99 or one of these. Very small, I'd say look at a Rock Van or similar. Second hand, trawl the web and see what's local.
Hola nuevamente! Como estas? Bien se te ve como siempre, debe influir el entorno natural de esas tierras lejanas! Ayer vi el video de las mejoras, ahora vere este y quizas te haga consultas, se agradece los detalles tecnicos que has dado hasta el Momento. Aun espero hace 2 meses tardio por “internacion de aduana” mi RC, espero llegue o pido devolución. Ya compre las mejoras . Saludos desde Chile!
Guessing as the FTX Trooper version is just becoming available here in the UK that FTX, Fastrax and other companies will not be far behind with bringing out the brass upgrades etc
Nice video. It’s a great looking body. Not sure if the actual Landcruiser was available in the UK? Here in Aus it was better known as the Bundera. If you want to keep the receiver/esc maybe just swap for a lower turn brushed motor? Pretty sure it comes with a 35t 550 motor which should roughly be the equivalent to a 45t 540, so a 35t might be the go?
Thanks. I don't think the LC71 was available in the UK; I've certainly never seen one. I think the motor idea is the way to go. I'll see what I've got in the spares box.
Hello , great video , Goes fairly well on 3s lipo stock electronics . Just put 1800 fusion in mine and toyo open country tires on aswell . Im giving the stock servo 7.4volt now . Its holding up fairly well so far , i Had to tweak my steering link slightly to get full lock both directions.
@areadierc2803 Did you switch radio over to something else or did you somehow keep it in tandem with the fusion? I'm guessing the lighting controller has gone as well. Very interesting about the servo!
@valleymade9563 The factory that makes trucks for RGT also supplies quite a lot of those models to FTX for sale in the UK and Europe. FTX test them, check them, get parts supply ready and then rebrand and relaunch them. It usually means that FTX are a little behind with their launch but the customer service is much better. It works well, you just need to know the connected names like FTX Tracker = RGT Rescuer.
@@southwestsellerss147 My guess is.. find a chassis that can fit it, just eBay is the way to go for budget parts, right now.. I'm home doing yard work today.😅 It's very hot out there, always stay in the shade.😅
@southwestsellerss147 The 1060 is a reasonable budget ESC but it really doesn't have great throttle modulation. This is considerably better, trust me, I've got a LOT of 1060s. As for programming: no this can't be fully programmed, it doesn't accept a programming card but neither does the 1060.
Great video. Just got the beige one today. Mine had the Toyta badge in the grill already installed...or it is actually part of the molded grill which is very nice because there is no chrome background making the logo stand out. Also mine has windscreen wipers. Cool that they seem to update the models
They look awesome, there's a lot there for the money. I don't even own an rc, I just cannot decide what to start with, there's too much choice out there!
It's a tricky choice. Unless you buy rubbish, you'll enjoy whatever you get. My advice would be buy something that you like the look of because the real joy all stems from imagining you're inside it! If there's something you fancy and want to know whether it's decent, just ask.
I've seen one mounted on this chassis with great success: www.makeitbuildit.co.uk/products/ftx-outback-ranger-xc-pick-up-rtr-1-16-trail-crawler-yellow?ref=rc_pie
Green injora inserts and different tires and I think it would make a huge difference // also can you upload a video on how the rig looks like with no bumper ?
Yes, in theory, you could add bodyposts or another mounting system to the chassis and then modify the bodyshell to work with the new system. But I think the body would look a bit odd, to say the least. It'd be like a face without a lower jaw.
