This is good value for money. The attention to detail is good and there are many surprising little features that make this a realistic looking model. That being said, this is not a rock crawler as advertised, not even a beginner one. It is very light / flimsy with all-plastic components, and barely any clearance / articulation. The suspension and tires are also very stiff, providing little grip. It will get destroyed in short order on any actual rocks, and it does not feel like it will survive a single tumble intact. For comparison’s sake, I attached a few side by side photos with an actual rock crawler at a similar scale (inexpensive FMS Atlas 1:10 with some mid-grade modifications). Note the size difference - especially of the wheels and underside components. There is also a significant weight difference, by a factor of 5x! (2 pounds vs. 10). For an indoor model / toy, the LC79 is a 10 out of 10, and honestly, it is just too nice looking to go out and trash it about. For any actual rock crawling, save your money for something built for that purpose. Read more

I was so excited to get this truck and I was not disappointed. The drive time is approximately 45 minutes to an hour before needing to be charged. I enjoyed placing on the accessories and stickers. It was really fun to drive, it’s not really a rock crawler but is a great trail truck. I want to purchase other models from this brand in the future. For reference this is a review from our 12 yr old son. Read more

recently picked up the MN82S 1/12 RC Rock Crawler, modeled after the Toyota LC79, and it has exceeded my expectations in almost every way. Right out of the box, it looks fantastic – the scale detail is spot-on, from the body shape to the LED headlights. It’s one of the most realistic-looking RC trucks I’ve seen at this price point. Very little time was needed to put it together. Performance-wise, it’s a solid rock crawler. The 4x4 system handles off-road trails, gravel, and small obstacles with no problem. While it’s not super fast (which is expected for a crawler), it has enough torque to climb over rough terrain and uneven surfaces. The suspension system does a great job absorbing shocks, making it a fun experience whether you're indoors or out. The 2.4GHz remote is responsive, and I experienced zero interference or signal loss. Battery life is decent – about 25 minutes per charge – and the recharge time is pretty standard for hobby-grade RCs. This RC truck is perfect for beginners looking to get into crawling, and collectors will appreciate the attention to detail. It’s also ready to run right out of the box, which is a huge plus. Pros: Realistic Toyota LC79 body design Solid off-road performance Bright LED lights Easy to control and fun to drive RTR – no assembly required Cons: Battery life could be longer (but would make it heavier) Overall, I highly recommend the MN82S RC Crawler if you're looking for a good balance of scale detail and off-road capability. Whether you're buying it as a gift or for yourself, it delivers a lot of value for the price! Read more
