    MN82 Pro arrived yesterday. Only ran it for maybe 10 minutes after putting on all of the body accessories (mirrors, lights, etc) and getting the battery charger, but it’s a good time especially for ~$45. Honestly the body alone feels worth that much. Need to tinker with it and see if there’s a drag brake and if I can get some more steering angle out of it but can’t complain for the dollar figure.

    Mine arrived today as well. The battery is charging and the accoutrement has been added. Will report back after a live experience. Interesting to see the things they went ahead and did and the stuff they sent for me to option out.

    not sure if i want to upgrade the axles and driveshafts. Shocks would probably leak all over the shelf below the truck... just leave it im guessing

    so there are two throttle rates. the high has no or a low drag brake. The low throttle rate has a drag brake it seems. That is cool. The lights have an on/off but it still does blinkers when turning and brake/reverse. I may still remove and recoat the headlight and taillights in opaque red/amber. The pro was worth the 5 bucks but they could have done more than a single coat on those lenses. I wish the doors opened and the leaf springs are redundant with the coils on the rear but I suppose that its like a helper without the eyelet. worth it for my entertainment until i have to put a tamiya system from the leftover parts bin in it

    How do you change the throttle rates?

    And yeah not sure about the leaf springs, might ditch them and see how it does without

    I stopped looking years ago. Prime day isn't nearly what it once was.

    Prime isn't nearly what it once was either. Just searching for something is becoming impossible when there are 10 pages of knockoff shit before you find a genuine brand.

    That whole site has become an absolute last resort for me.

    Yup. My stock one cracked. I picked up the DSM Off-Road Rock Warrior chassis.
