Looking good bok, how do those tires hook up?

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Thanks Collector1! The high lift tires hook up pretty well on the rocks, with locked front and rear diffs I barely saw them slip. But they don't hook up well when climbing loose dirt and sand. Don't know how they compare with the stock tires as I put these on right after I completed my build ;)

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Thats was a great run bok..hahaha...i told you that place rocks...more trail runs and rally cross to come guys..too bad we didnt take pictures when we are climbing that almost 6 ft sand trail(formed into a mini mountain or scale mountain..hehehe)


By the way who can sell me a spare cc-01 spur gear? Mine got busted(because of my own fault) so i need one asap...thanks..

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

how's that???...the trainy are pretty buletproof...which part you broke?

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

i opened the tranny case after a run then run it again, i think a loose debris went inbetween the pinion and spur gear after openening it...it does work but it has a cracking sound..

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Could you show us a picture of your tranny? Maybe something is just loose inside

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

nothing is loose, spur is damage a bit...i need to find some G parts

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

I think you should open it up and make sure you clean everything out.. a lot of time the clicking sound is from a sand that got stuck between the teeth... so look for them!

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Yup I would try cleaning the gears and bearings inside the tranny. Use a toothbrush and soapy water to clean the gears. Don't forget to grease them when you reassemble everything.

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Was able to work on the Pajero today. Replaced the sloppy lower trailing arms with aluminum ones from my CR-01. Upgraded the CR-01 to bent links, so I had these lying around :D Will tackle the upper arms next...

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Hi,
I have one too, mine is the first version which i bought it in 1993. I have recently bought a new body kit (the original one is pretty much destroyed) and convert it into the low ride conversion set. It has full ball bearings, ESC, RS540 motor, lock diff.
Pajero are very strong cars. Mine is around 15 years old and runs perfectly.

Fifty-Five/XL5/"Wolfpack" 3000MAh.
Full bearings.
Full hex hardware.
Associated buggy front shocks on the rear, waiting for the fronts to come on. Apparently Tower only had 1 set. Got the AE springs up front tho.
Waiting on some Trail Docs.

Paint was actually a "prototype" and color-testing for this:

When my 10th scale H3 gets here.

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Got mine very wet the other day, so I decided to take it apart and clean it before any bearings seized. Took the receiver out of its balloon only to find that it was quite wet - ooops. Decided to get a plastic box to fit the receiver in to avoid this trouble in future - see the photos for how I fitted it. Also fitted my old Demon triple 17 turn motor to see how it goes - will find out tomorrow...

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Get some waterproof grease and put it on all the threads of the screws that go into the case and around the opening of the case

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Thanks, I will, or at least make a gasket of some sort and find a suitable grommet to seal around the wires. I am actually going to redrill the holes in the base as it needs to go back a bit to be more solid (and I got them in slightly the wrong place to start with). At the moment it's warm and sunny here, so there's no rush...

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Well, the Demon motor has noticeably less torque so there's less wheelspin and less acceleration from standstill, but it is noticeably faster at the top end. Almost too fast for the chassis really. On loose surfaces, makes it more entertaining as it is easier to drift and spin. Motor does get warmer than the silvercan.

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

well, i guess I'll post up some pics of mine.

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Nice pics engineerjoe, and what a great place to run! I see your bodyshell is looking like it has seen some action, but then if you are running it fast, it does tip over more as I am finding with a modified motor in mine.

Have resited the receiver box that I added to make it more stable, as you can see from the pictures below, before first then after. You might also notice that despite not wanting to get it dirty again, it is...

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Hey everyone, wow some awsome pics. I love the scale realism of this car.

Just wondering if anyone knows the part numbers for the stock wheels and tyres that come with the Pajero?

Any help greatly appreciated!

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Hey Andyjk, the part numbers are 0445516 for the wheels and 9805561 for the tires

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

oh awesome thanks heaps!!!!

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

No problem Andyjk, heres a couple of pics with a working winch I just installed, the winch is controlled by the 3rd channel on my 3PK

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

LOL, that's pretty sweet.. how about a video of it pulling the truck up?! hee! :D

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Wow you really want to see my crappy camera at work dont you? Ok but it will take a while since Ive never done it before

RE: Tamiya Pajero-Collective Build
 

Thats awesome! I love the realism of this model. I have a DF-01 with Porsche Cayenne body and love it. I just installed a new ESC and Tamiya super stock BZ motor in it....goes pretty well! I want to see if I can get some slightly bigger wheels/tyres for it to give it some more ground clearance, thats why I was looking at the Pajero ones.....plus they look cool. haha

Here's a pic of the DF-01.
