Oh funny............ I want a push bumper like that, I will see what I can work on, those are some good pics

trf

interesting bumper indeed...not so effective...but interesting...[8D]

cornel4web

you are right about that...couldn't stop when I saw that muddy pajero...

manerdie

wow, that pajero really needs a car wash asap..hahaha
what cleaning solution can we use in cleaning our pajero when running through mud?

Bok

Those are balloons, they help protect the receiver and shocks from water, dust and mud. You never know what you might encounter out in the wild The shocks are a hassle to rebuild but with those balloons, they are practically maintenance-free [8D]

Took mine out for a run in a very boggy field on Monday, ran well, but ended up very dirty, as you can see from the pictures below. Didn't get time to clean until yesterday, and found that water had got in everywhere. Had to spend a lot of time unseizing bearings and cleaning up gears. Perhaps I will be a little more careful in future...

Motor was full of mud and the case is somewhat corroded, and the steering had also all but seized up - I must firgure out a way of modding it to remove the plastic to plastic contact.

Anyway, here are some more pictures from when we had some snow that I haven't managed to post before. We are apparently going to get some more snow next week in the UK.

Do you get glitches when you do your antenna wire like that?!

Bok

Oh man cbs52 that looks like a PITA to clean up! But I'm sure you don't have any regrets

I took mine to the park this morning, here are a couple of shots

Surprisingly no and it was about a block away from me, I didnt go any further because I didnt want to lose it and its an AM radio, I havent had a chance to get another 2.4 receiver

Well, the snow has arrived here in the UK, and the whole country grinds to a halt. I have been out with the Pajero and it is great fun, although the snow is really slushy and sticky and it builds up around the wheels until it stops them, leaving you with no steering and very little forward motion. Didn't take any pictures at the time as difficult to do whilst driving, but will try later. Is running more smoothly since I rebuilt the gearbox and rear axle, just need to make sure that I dry the bearings soon.

Some parts that I just found in my parts box, I forgot I had these so on they went, the C hubs need another part which I cant find at the moment but I know I have them

cbs52

OK, out in the snow again today - now very slushy and wet. This time took some pictures afterwards. Love the way this car runs, so scale, down to the way it leans in the corners and scrubs the tyres!

Lunchboxer

Collector1, pretty neat clear shocks!

cbs52, looks good! Did you leave the shell unpainted or you painted it white?!

cbs52

Thanks LB, I elected to leave the shell white as I figured it would get scratched pretty soon and this way any scratches wouldn't show too much.

Lunchboxer

Ha, lazy, but smart.. (joke)

interesting setup...from tamiyaclub...
