MN Model D90 Land Rover: WLtoys A959 Hydraulic Shock Upgrade!

MN Model is a new Chinese player on the RC market. Their first model is a really nice, 1/12 scale Land Rover D90 Defender. It is available as an RTR and as a kit version.
Of course I chose the kit version: https://www.banggood.com/1-Set-MN-90-Kit-112-2_4G-4WD-Rc-Car-Crawler-Monster-Truck-Without-ESC-Transmitter-Receiver-Battery-p-1370557.html?utm_campaign=4828314_1046285&utm_content=1097&p=NZ29024828314201605E

In this video: Upgrading the horrible undampened shocks with oil filled ones from WLtoys. They are made for A949, A959, A969 and A979.

Part 1, unboxing, kit build, first test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVIRwBKPeJk
Part2, crazy test run in the snow, brass pinion upgrade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f6Jpmqt6_g

There will also be an upcoming upgrade video, in which the steering geometry, the shocks and other little issues will be fixed.
