My line of thinking

Fit pajero shell to my marder race
Get truck wheels

Then the dilema
Do I keep the gearing the same, change the gearing( if so what gears) or get a twin speed box.
If I get the twin speed box, off road gearing or on road version.
At the moment, the car has loads of bottom end due to the fg pipe being fitted.

I get bored easily hence all the constant changes going on

Thanks Lee

i run the slick truck wheels on standard gearing no probs
they really do fly on tarmac

YES THEY DO!!! When i pit truck tyres on my marder, im sure it was faster

cause its not all over the place.
you have to be steady with the throttle till the tyres warm up, but then gees they go.

Im going to put it up against road cars, I need power or a reinforced shell to knock em out the way. Did allso consider adding ben hur type wheel spikes to add another edge.
Lets just say I dont like looseing
A pajero flying round a tarmac area does appeal

will the pajero shell fit straight on? I just received a set of truck tyres and wheels wide for rear narrow for the front? haven't glued them yet but the rears came with foam but the front came without do I need the front foam I am itchin to give these a run

are there any other 1/5 1/6 scale shells that I could make fit? like a bimmer or a lancer etc?

oh yea its for a marder race.

The pajero kit is designed for the marder part number 6212 and conversion kit 6212/1 pajero off road to pajero on road. Add both kits together, its about £300 of conversion.
I have a pajero shell and tub siting here and just found rims and tyres new for £35 a pair at one shop in the uk

lee g unfortunately 300 GBP turns into quite a few aussie dollars so I was wondering if any one has tried to fit one of the FG 1/5 scale bodies on a marder? if so how did it go

If they make the one diff that we can put diff lock silicone oil inside then it will help the gear much better. However, I can't find any diff gear box that we can do that and I hope they make one very soon.

I broke my body post, pull start, #6079, and 2 spark plugs after 5 tanks.

Now im scare to play with my MB becuz of all these problems.

I hope someone can come up with some ideas to fix this diff thing and make it more reliable

I must be lucky, the three ofroaders I run, never lost a diff.
Yet dubby goes through quite a lot

Jimbo, there are two road car kits to fit the Marder - Mini Cooper and an AC cobra. Come with body, tyres and mounts.

jimbo1890

wow thanks mate the cobra looks cool. Is it a polycarbonate body? looks like a nice canvas for playing with an airbrush. any idea who makes/supplies them?

Pigsmightfly

Hobbythek have them mate, look under the new products menu.

jimbo1890

thanks again

The FG 1/5 On road cars has a wheel base that is 6cm longer(535mm versus 475mm) than the Marder, that makes using a On-Road boddy more than just tricky.......

THe shop selling the cheap wheels and tyres only had two tyres in stock.
One less customer for them in future since there was no metion when ordering online.

So for what it costs for 4 wheels nad tyres I have see the off road pajer to onroad pajero kit
Part number 6212/1

But I cant find what is in the kit, ie wheels and tyres or a few small bits that are overpriced

Anyone got any ideas on who to call to find out?

Thanks Lee
