I finally did it and invested in an MN99S for the channel. I have plans and thoughts. Table of Contents: 00:03 - Introduction 01:09 - First Thoughts 02:59 - Outsoor Crawl Test 04:03 - Results 05:02 - Bench Test 06:57 - Marker
I will tell you my experience with the MN d90 and mn 82. I bought the Mn82 two months ago, then i bought the MN 90 a week ago. My 5 year old daughter told me . Papi, for you the yellow crappy and give me the Toyota. She dont want the D90, children know...
Looks like the esc is shutting down beacuse of overcurrent draw. Have you tried to run it in ? Just drive it around a full battery or two just to loosen it up, and break in the motor ? The control board might just be faulty too. I have one of these in the mail on the way :-)
I swapped out the radio/ESC for the one in the MN82 and it worked like a charm. So it must be the electronics module. This last weekend I swapped out for a RadioLink receiver and a cheap ESC. (Video coming soon) It does seem to be working better, it is still "under powered" as it stalls. I don't think it's the replacement ESC because it will get over if you give it full power. The old electronics module would not do that. With that said. The MN99S platform is a nice little platform if you like to tinker and upgrade. I plan on getting my 3D printing skills up to the task and make some modifications that will hopefully get this little guy up and running like a champ. I have lots of plan for this crawler. I am interested to learn how yours performs. Please let me know.
Yes and no. These are fun if you are looking for a platform to tinker with and break-fix-repeat. On the other hand, there are cheap RC vehicles that are indeed a waste of money. Hopefully, this is part of your pre-purchase research, so you know what you are getting into.
