Tamiya Pajero

[SMaxxin]

If you have ever tried to follow one of my build threads you know they suck...No pics in progress, bad explanations and this one is no different! I plan on updating this as changes are made but don't hold your breath.

What I started with:

Tamiya Pajero Meataltop wide kit, Tamiya esc included
Full bearing kit
integy 65t motor on stock gearing
Traxxas 2075 waterproof steering servo
Junfac 4 link and skid plate kit

Congrats on the new Tamiya rig. I just started working on my Tamiya YJ again after a loooong time with it sitting unfinished.

Nice new rig u got there can't wait to see wat u got planned for it

 

[SMaxxin]

Thanks guys! My plan is to keep it pretty close to stock, new tires, better esc, and a gru. A set of RC4WD rock creepers showed up today and they are a little taller than stock so a slight body lift will be necessary.

Havent seen a Pajero in a long time.

Lloyd thats one of the things that made me want it.

Thanks for the warning. I'll get out my hay-fever meds.

It's a clean looking rig.

WOW....that thing is COOL.......i like that thing, i know what my next project will be, just to put it on the shelf.

I had to round off bottom of the wheel wells to fit the larger tires, fill the antenna hole on the roof, then shot the first color. I got a few runs but not too bad.

 

[NCNitro]

Looking good, I really like the color.

 

[SMaxxin]

I was really liking the Fiery Oragne and should have left it a solid color buy I didn't so heres what I have now. I think it will look a little better once I get the details painted. I found a nice little auto paint kit from Testors, once the signal lights, side markers and tail lights are done it should break up the color a little. The front grill will be black with the red Mitsubishi symbol and theres a strong chance the wheels will get some black on them.

Just keeps getting better and better, That turned out GREAT!!!

Hey, no necroposting! lol.

Necroposting? LMAO!

Looks excellent with the 2 tone.

 

[NCNitro]

I agree, I think the two tone looks good.

 

[slowngreen]

Yep I agree too, paint looks great. The pic in the driveway is perfect too! Nice rig Pete.

 

[rollinlow]

Love the colors they go good together

 

[SMaxxin]

I wasn't sure about the two tone but the more I look at it the more I like it. I'm trying to add a few small details with a small brush, I never noticed how shaky my hands are!

 

[SMaxxin]

I put a couple of stickers, painted the grill and signals, a little shaky with a paint brush but not too bad for a first timer

And a little flex

New wheels, roof rack, HPI GRU with stock motor, XL-5 on 3s...I wonder how long that will last??
