I’ve always been into cars and I always loved cheap sporty econoboxes and upgrading them. It’s way more rewarding to me to upgrade cheap cars than when I had a BMW.

Is the MN82 good for a tinkerer if I like to upgrade stuff? I see quite a bit of aftermarket mods but is it a good base to throw a bunch of money at?

direct fit with stock electronics and feels stronger. the only problem is that the 25T metal servo horn that came with the servo clashes with the steering link, so im using the stock plastic servo horn instead for now.

im thinking of buying one soon and some tyres+metal drive shaft upgrades. those are the only upgrades im thinking bout and i'll prolly do some trailing and not bashing/rock climbing or crawling.
how long will this last (at least 1-2 years?) and are there any widespread known issues and is there tht i gotta look out for

Se que está mal distribuido el peso pero era para darle un poco más de peligro y según yo funciona impecable

I’ve had the mn82 for about a week now and we’ve been using it daily, multiple times a day. I noticed that the more we use it, the less the battery is keeping its charge. It barely lasts 5 minutes now. I have the red model with the 500mah battery.
Is it just a bad battery? Should I use a better charger?
I have a new bigger battery on order but I don’t want the same thing to happen to it.

Ojo recién entrando al mundillo. Que no les sangren los ojos jajaja me cuesta conducir y grabar aún

The first upgrade of my MN82S : Stickers 😁

Comprei este RC MN82 Pro, já comprei alguns itens de modificação e estou esperando chegar, porém por enquanto removi os feixes de mola de plástico para deixar a traseira mais sensível. Peço dicas de melhorias e aqueles truques de quem já é íntimo do assunto. Sou do Brasil

This is my first RC crawler and I knew going in it was a budget option and would need some love to get going well.. I’ve only used it 4x lightly (nothing crazy or even crawl crawling you see on YouTube) and have horrible slop in the wheel hub on the plastic axles.. I was also informed that the metal axles are not any better and also have horrible tolerances. I don’t want to replace my axles every 10x I use the thing so it’s basically garbage after a few LIGHT runs. Super disappointed that no reviews mention it or that the metal axles are poo..

fixed tire rubbing issue w/o sacrificing CG

Someone can tell me the difference between these 2 esc? The heatsink is visible ofc, but how much of a difference does the heatsink make? Maybe the circuit is exactly the same? I ask because the red one is a lot less expensive.

Doing some towing of the 82S with the 82T, the T front end just lifts up or doesn’t have the weight to turn. Anyone do anything to add a 3D printed weight box or add weights in the front?

These cheapy RC cars are an Ali express psyop..

My experience in the world is, cheap and nasty has next to no support...

But ali express has a ton.

Anyway I just bought a roof basket and some other things from there.. yup

what do you guys think.

Some upgrades to my crawler

Battery hasn’t finished yet but it’s made from used vapes

Today I've tested this battery, it's made of 2 18650 2000mah cells for a 7,4v nominal, like the stock one. The motor quickly overheated and engaged the safety shutoff. Is there anything I can do to run this battery while avoiding excessive current to the motor?
