Hi,
check this out, a new 1/12 Toyota Landcruiser by MN-Models in the style of the fantastic MN-90 D90 1/12!




MN-45 1/12 Toyota Landcruiser RTR

I love it! Will modify it in the way I did with my MN-90 D90 1/12 (Check the Video).

Walter, this really should be in general crawlers. 1/12th is not a micro buddy.

These are fun little trucks with some mods, they can be made quite capable for under $100. A few homemade mods as well. Out of of the box though they are absolutely toy grade. But the bodies are well worth the price.

One thing nice about these is that the 2spd trans available for the WPL trucks fits these and you are able to tuck them in up higher with some homemade brackets and not lose any clearance.

Hi,
now it is - probably somebody has moved the thread.

Little difficult - because those cars (MN-90, MN-45, Fort Mutt, Subotech Willys Jeep Q65) have the exactly same chassis as the WPL / JJRC trucks (and can switch parts), and bodies 1/10, 1/12, 1/16. And they are toyish, not really hobbygrade (but you can buy a ton of upgrades… so probably hobbygrade...?).

Do not really know what is micrro and what not?
Is 1/16 or 1/18 still micro?

In my own opinion not, in my own "guess", those are midis, micros are 1/24, 1/28 and the Orlandoos (I have a ton of micros).

Still not available…

But now the "opponent" WPL C34 has been announced:

Probably will get both, but the waiting for the MN-45 preorder is annoying.

Finally, after waiting forever, the MN-45 Kit Version is available.

Mine has been shipped two days ago.

Received my MN-45 Kit version yesterday (and my WPL C34 today ).

This is a wonderful and beautiful body, significantly longer than the MN-90.
Unfortunately some parts are missing (grill, one mirror, blinker-glass, steering wheel) - seems to be a problem of packing, not of shipping, nevertheless the parcel arrived damaged). Will see, what Banggood replies.

There seems to come a new version with cabin, called MN-40:
