Those are the basic specs for MN Model MN212. As a dedicated rock crawler, it packs more than enough performance. Its outer packaging looks nearly identical to MN Model MN99S rc truck.
- Both the MN Model MN212 and MN99S use beadlock wheels.
- MN212 shares the same tire spec as early MN99S units — later batches of the MN99S switched to harder tire compounds.

So why are so many RC hobbyists hyped about MN Model’s new releases?
MN Model rolls out new models slowly — often just one every few months. The MN99S was already a huge fan favorite, and the brand kept updating and refining it long after launch.
A big part of Model MN212 rc car appeal is that it carries over the well-loved chassis from the MN99S.
All in all, every new MN Model launch comes with thoughtful tweaks and upgrades over the previous generation.
MN Model MN212 RC Truck Exterior Showcase:
MN Model MN212 shown on the packaging isn’t exactly what you’ll receive. The production unit doesn’t use a straight steering linkage, and it runs soft shocks. There is a mismatch between product imagery and the physical item.

MN Model MN212 RC truck has neatly detailed turn signals, headlights and blackout lights. The "212" badging up top also has a chrome finish.

MN Model MN212 is a 6-door RC truck. Its doors have metal spring latches built in, so they open and close really smoothly.

MN Model MN212 RC truck has pretty clean internal wiring — no jumbled mess of cables. It also has a spare plug built in for adding roof lights or headlights

In response to feedback from the RC community, MN Model has revised the suspension design for this release. MN Model MN212 shock mounts are now integrated directly into the main chassis frame rails, and the previous all-plastic shock absorbers have been upgraded to fully adjustable units with metal shock shafts.
