About this product
A 1:12 scale four-wheel-drive rock crawler sold in RTR form, meaning the chassis and the 2.4G radio come assembled so the truck runs out of the box once the battery is charged. Two variants share this listing, MN99s and MN98, and they are not the same truck: pick the version you intend to drive rather than assuming parts swap between them. The 1:12 size suits gravel, packed dirt and garden obstacles better than a tabletop, and four-wheel drive is what gets it up a loose climb. Because it is sold ready to run, the useful question before ordering is what is inside the option you choose, especially battery and charger, and whether a spare is included. Spare parts for this family do exist on the market, so a bent axle or a stripped pinion is repairable rather than terminal.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Sold ready to run: chassis and 2.4G radio arrive assembled, so it drives as soon as the battery is charged
- Four-wheel drive and a 1:12 scale make it usable on gravel, packed dirt and small garden obstacles
- Two body variants, MN99s and MN98, are both offered here so you can match the look you want
- Replacement parts for this truck family are available, so damage is usually repairable
Cons
- MN99s and MN98 are separate vehicles, so do not assume one version's parts fit the other
- Check exactly what your chosen option contains, battery and charger are not always part of the kit
- Upgrading the motor or gears means buying parts separately, this is a fixed RTR spec
- The listing shows a lower positive-feedback rate than most items here, so read buyer reviews on build and durability yourself
