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 rig man. Havent seen a Pajero in a long time.
 
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
 
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.

Thats good to hear Joe, I'll be looking for an update! Speaking of updates I'm about to knock the dust off of an old thread!!!

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.

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