OK, well i have just purchased this pajero and want your opinions on it please..

It comes with all radio gear and paint for the body, basicly it is rtr except the body needs finishing. The winch is fully working and fully controllable from the hand set. I know it has lifted suspension as well.

Posted here as got no interest in the rock crawler section

looks very tidy to me, i like the wheels/tyres as well, much better than the standard equipment.

My Feedback: (3)

problem is, the front is ifs, independent front suspension. unless its custom from some1 else who made into solid axle. the stock pajeros are ifs, and dont have locking diffs.

so idk how to lock the diffs on those

I don't quite understand what you want? Did you want comments on it in general? What color to paint the body? What else you can do to it?

lee172

you need Tamiya Pajero/Touareg G Parts (9005422) which includes a diff locker, if you want to lock the front as well.

Thanks lee172, I am not sure if the diff's are locked or not but i will be buying those parts if there not. This truck will only get used for stuff like mudding and slight bit of hill climbing down in the woods, I might try a bit of rock crawling though. I have never had any thing like this before unless you think a clod is like this?

I just wanted people to tell me what they think of the set-up it has installed and maybe make some suggestions to future up-grades available.

I have just been informed the diffs are all ready locked

lee172

i'm pretty sure it would have bearings installed, but if it doesnt, get some for it, aside from that these make great scale crawlers, plus the lift and bigger wheels will help clear obsticles, the only other thing i would recommend is putting the RX inside a balloon, and also protect the ESC from any water/mud also.

HEY HEY, you're reading my mind. It is fully ball raced all ready and I am currently reading through lunchboxes T-egg thread to pick up some hints and tips.

I really really want to make this thing as water proof as possible so that is right up there on the mod list

Glad you like it

in the meantime, get that body painted!

if you need help on sourcing Tamiya TS paint, just let me know..

tamiya trucker

I will have a think about the paint. I only have jet black lol .

What sort of prices can you get it for? I only need enough for that body and maybe a little spare for touch ups lol. Will be a while before I buy any though..The car set me back enough so far

lee172

its not the fact of me getting it cheap, its the fact i can get it (UK based TS paint is being re-labled by Tamiya) so shouldnt be available in any shops.

tamiya trucker

Ow yeah I remember this happening now. Its being a while since I have needed to paint a body sorry lol.

I might have to have a look round now then and see what paint schemes i like

Thanks
