hi

any suggestions are appreciate. thanks

[jasonw]

Hi everyone. The Escalade finaly left the body shop and today it finaly hit the trail in its new trim. I love how it came out and cant wait to start the next project. Let me know what you think, I know this has been a long time coming for a lot of people as I have recevied hundreds of emails and comments on forums about the body and paint so without further ado lets see the new and improved 05 Escalade off road edition.

wow! nice scale looking shots you got there jasonw and jchung.

[jaleco]

desperately looking for Tamiya #9805626 8mm ball. anyone knows where I can get it?

[minijosh]

http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=34653&id=848
Should I keep it primer? That way I don't have to worry about destroying my finish. Plus I can combat the rust quickly. ;)

[minijosh]

Did you try tower hobbies for your 8mm balls? Hehe mouse size.

[minijosh]

Oh did you try calling the tamiya hotline? It's a 1-800 number.

Maybe black primer, now that would look tuff.

I'm sure I can help you out I sent you a PM. I have lots of little balls left over from my clod buster.

[minijosh]

Well I stripped my shell with easy off so now I gotta sand it down. I love the hardshells. Time for a new color since the grey was so so.

[SVTcobra04]

wow...i forgot about this forum.... :D so im back :D

[SS Pede]

Jasonw, I like the look of your pajero (errr, touareg). I'm thinking that if I want a scale 4x4 vehicle, a Tamiya Race Touareg will be my best option. I don't have the time or resources to built a custom 6x6 unimog!

Umm, how big are these things? What is the diameter of the stock tires? I just don't have a very good idea of the Touareg's size.

[josh222]

wow this place went dead after i left.. jk , well i might finaly get a xc chassi truck.. hehe after a very long time of wanting one. So hows it going every one, who remebers me?

[SteveK]

Wow, I haven't checked in this place for a while, I have a lot to read up on LOL.

Anyway, I might be selling my XB Pajero and buying a Touareg (It basically comes out to a wash for me money-wise). Some questions for guys with the VW: It does come with the ESC, yes? What about the diff-locking insert?

[josh222]

ya it has an esc, when rcca tested it, it had one

[Raz1918]

Hi all last month bought and lost in the post a mint wrangler so i've just bought a modded pajero to ease the pain. Its got both diffs locked an 80x1 motor and an esc that can handle it. I've never had an XC so im hoping i will like it.

[Combatcm]

I'm getting my rig back up. I just recieved my drivetrain overhaul package, G parts and New ring gears/diff lockers/rear shafts and a short UJ.

Next in line is a new rear tranny case as mine is in a sorry shape right now, all the link points are broken off.

Man those things are hard to find.

4wdmt, you're breaking my balls with that shipping, however you are the only person on the entire internet that has the rear axle case (0005519) available.

[SteveK]

Is 4WDMT the best place to get replacement parts?

I might have to try bracing the link mounting points with JB Weld or something, to give them more surface area to grab onto.

[Combatcm]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5993760036&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

He has this on ebay. You better brace the link, with a 4-link it will put a lot of stress on it, though I did beat mine more than I should have.

[minijosh]

I got some at tower hobbies. Did they stop carrying them? I know you can order straight from Tamiya with their 1-800 number.

[Combatcm]

Wow, I didn't know that.

Yeah, tower scrapped them a few months ago, it would've been convenient to carry parts for cars you sell...

I have a few bodies in mind when I get it running

http://www2.gpmd.com/image/p/parc2001.jpg

http://www2.gpmd.com/image/p/parc2179.jpg

I'm going for the "american" bogger look

[minijosh]

Well I just installed my LRP Puller 2 motor and a LRP F1 reversing esc. I'm almost ready to go play in the mud. I wish I had another Mtroniks esc. I love the water proof factor.

[minijosh]

Oh it's also time to finish cutting my tires all the way. I've only cut the outsides for now.

[Combatcm]

This is the first time I've run it since the axle snapped in one of my videos a while ago.

Nothing is changed and the new steering system is working just fine.

The pinion gear will wear out before the rest of the gears and the spur gear outlasted my ring gears. I have a new nylon gear set, but will wait till the current one is dead before installing it.

[reptile]

Since i saw the zillon pajero, i felt in love with it. :D . I bought a touareg but i have changed the body because i like the pajero. I got one second hand body on ebay. In the beginning I thought that zillon painted his body by outside and i did the same with ps16 (Metalic-blue tamiya) and the body was not shine. i think that perhaps adding varnish i will get better results. What can i do?. Decals are a problem too. Please if you have them please send to me an email with this decals, it will be very usefull for me. i dont know were to get them. I have seen on ebay and no results. I only have seen a cd with decals but i think that it has only the old pajero. Please i ned help with decals. My email. gmclamo@arquired.es thank you

Your best bet will be to pick up a new, unused and unpainted Pajero body.

I painted mine on the inside, using Tamiya Red Frost and Metal Red paints, backed with silver.

For decals, you can try contacting TamiyaUSA via phone or E-mail. They're usually easy to deal with, and they should be able to help you out with decals. http://www.tamiyausa.com

Also: check out http://www.scale4x4rc.us , another good source for scale R/C and Tamiya XC info.

[txvictor]

would anyone know where i can find parts for my Pajero looking for the rearend gears. also what can i do to it to make it faster.

[DCLXVI]

Put a better motor in it...I don't know if you have a MSC or ESC in it though...
You are gonna get one easily tipped car if you speed it up much though so new springs/damper oil might be neccecary...

I am looking for a lexan pajero tamiya body, but it is not easy to find. not on ebay, not on tamiya usa(Now discontinued), but i have found HPI pajero body. It is made of lexan but i dont know if it is the same of tamiya or not. i dont know if it has the same shape and size for Xc chasis.
please let me know what you know.
thanks.

[jasonw]

Just wanted to let everyone here know my blue Escalade is for sale, yes thats right for sale. Check out ther buy, sel, traid forum for details. Thanks

[jasonw]

Well I know its on the market but I am not geting any takers anyway. I decided to do a little more work to my Blue Escalade tonight. It is now the official patrol vehicle for my 1/10th scale national forest. I hope you liek the vidio as much as I loved doing this and looking at it. Unfortunatly the lights are timed right now but I am working on a switch so they will stay on constantly. FYI the vidio is in AVI format, Trust me its worth the download, its only like 4.6 megs and as a last note my rig is blaring the perfect song for the long trail patrol days. Hope you enjoys.

[F1Junkie]

Hi Guys -

I was wondering how much an RTR Pajero would be worth these days. I have one run in the basement for about 5 minutes. I understand they are discontinued and so I am hoping the value would be a little higher.

If anyone knows how much I could reasonably ask I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Dave

[DCLXVI]

It's not old enough to be more valuable, also, the chassie is still in production as the Race Touareg, the body might be somewhat sought after though...

[SVTcobra04]

wow havnt posted here in a while.....whats the site thats pretty poular that has aot of rc parts?

[nitro_newbie]

hey dudes i wanted to start on a project for a scale baja pre-runner truck or o scale truck for the matter and i wanted to know where i could get the bfg mud tires and wheels these cars come with because im going for the scale look and them other tires are kinda big and i looked in tower hobbies but there is nothing there only some dumb parts and i dont want to get used or have to get the kit just to get some tires. :)
well thanx for your guys help
nitro~newbie

[Raz1918]

Hi the best place is EBAY item#6019472347tyres and 6018914958 for the wheels.Good luck with your project.

[Burban]

Any of you guys know of universal or cv front axles for the Jero? I picked up a touareg and mint wrangler.... I'm hooked on these things. My Bruiser chassied, tlt axled crawler had definatley taken a spot on the back burner. I can't believe how well the Touareg with locked diffs, cut BF's, and a lathe motor, moves through the snow. When it does bog down, I just winch out.

Better yet, do any of you guys have or know of a spread sheet of tamiya parts that cross reference to the cc-01 chassis?

Thanks.

Dan.

[SVTcobra04]

we got like 1/2 inch of snow ontop of frozen stuff that fell a few days ago so im about to take the paj out :)

[Burban]

We just got another 12 inches ontop of the crap we allready had. Too deep for me.

[Combatcm]

The sequel to Pajero: The Movie (http://tinyurl.com/bzezx)

While you guys wait for....summer....or frozen snow.

[Burban]

I'm officially addicted.... Stable now includes a Clod bodied Touareg, a Wrangler, an XB Jero, and in the process of acquiring a Jero Metal Top.

All have lathes and winches. This comming will be the summer of the trials trucks.

[jasonw]

Hey thanks for the comliment. Unfortunatly I dont have the vidio online anymore. I actualy got a lot of negitive coments on the lights about how the Escalade just didnt look the part. I somwhat agree that you will never see an Escalade Ranger rig but I had a plast doing it

[SVTcobra04]

does this thread seem dead nowadays?

[Combatcm]

Tamiya needs a new car on this chassis. They also need to get the price down. 175 for the toureg is expensive.

[smileyboy]

Yeah it is kind off dead but, this site is fun

[iluvmud]

man where can i find one of these for a decent price?!?!?!?!? i really want the wrangler, but ill get this if i have to, and get the wrangler body and wheels and stuff that i need

if anyone knows of where to get one for a good price, lemme know
thanks MUD

[Burban]

You won't find a Wrangler for a good price. I saw one sell last night on Epay for $331 plus shipping. Pajero's are hard to find aswell. The same chassis with a slightly longer wheelbase is still offered as the Paris/Dakar Touareg. I think tower has it with esc for $179. Trust me, I know what they've been selling for. I've had a horrible addiction for the last couple months. I've bought a Touareg, a Pajero XB (lexan body), a Wrangler, and a new in box still sealed Pajero Metal Top. I just need a CRV and an Amigo and the collection is complete.

Forgot to mention, you can probably expect to pay in the neighbourhood of $120 - $140 for a Wrangler body, if you can find one. Usually one of the Asian ebay sellers has one, no auction, buy it now only. And they want a fortune to ship.

[jesusTmaxx]

Hey
What paint Can I to used for body jeep metal top?

Thanks

[mnster]

Any, on hard abs bodys it really does not make a difference.

[BillH]

I use Tamiya sprays on my hard bodies.

[dogboy]

Were can i get replacment tries or tires that look realistic and will with no problems. I was just woundering because i havent gotten one of these cars yet but i will in a few months when I have enough money.

[dogboy]

oh yeah and does the touareg come with a esc or not. some places say it does and some say it doesnt it would be nice if it does :confused:

[BillH]

As far as i know it does include an esc

[Burban]

Where can I get a complete rear axles from a jero, becuase I was thinking about building a rc from the ground up and so I could an extra for my touareg in case I break some thing.

[Burban]

Ebay, if anywhere.

[Combatcm]

I'm taking my pajero to the next level. I successfully put on a PTI front solid axle. I'm going to try to rip a hole in the center of the chassis to put a stampede tranny in.

It's a difficult project.

[Combatcm]

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/combatcm/4linkbottom.jpg

I just need some gears, and maybe a new chassis to put the old stuff back on.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/combatcm/4linkfull.jpg

It can sit a wheel on a stack of 3 2.2" tires, about the high of the pajero body itself.

[cdm]

one pebble and that thing will flip.

[dtcm]

finally it took me 2 and a half years but im back in civilisation and ordered my touarg... would of rathered the jero but cant find one anywhere, also i cant afford the remote and servos and battery but that wont bother me as i have that stuff laying around here somewhere also the truck wont be driven much stock... it would almost be embasrassing... well ill let you all know when it hits the tool shed...
dan

[gixxer]

Just bought a pajero XB from Towerhobbies. After I ordered it, it became discontinued. I guess they found one at the warehouse and i snatched it. Just out of curiousity should i open it or is it worth something. If it is a collector item perhaps i should order the volkswagen for bashing?

[Combatcm]

You can probably get $250 out of it.

Your call.

In the future it may be worth something, but right now I would just play with it. You proably bought the last new one ever.

[dogboy]

I am just wondering if it is possible to convert a jero to nitro. I was going to get a jero but now I want a nitro, and I think that a nitro jero would be really cool for rally racing.I am probably going to be getting one and I defintally want one if it could be nitro. :confused:

This tread is kind of dead

[Combatcm]

Well, to convert to nitro you would have to have pretty good fab skills, it just won't "go together". But if I even wanted to do it that way I would get a dual shaft motor, as in another shaft comes out the back of the motor. Keep the motor on, just use it to transter the nitro spur to the electric motor pinion. Get a spur attached to it and then mount the engine however you can on a metal plate. Hard.

[dogboy]

the chassis are flat on the bottom right? well if they are it would be easy to mount the engine but it would be harder to mount the servo (throtel). and do you know how the brakes work on nitro, that might be hard to do also

[minijosh]

Any word on that nitro? I'd like to check it out.

[dogboy]

I might in a year or so but my dad wants me to start saving for a real car since Im almost 15 and I get my lisence in about a year. Sorry to disapoint you, I do still really want to do this project though.

[minijosh]

Well I just got another XC. This is a almost mint green Pajero. Not too sure what to do with it now.

So far the pajero is stock except for the locked rear end. I just got my other xc back from a very famous Clod God and he build me a roll cage and a push bumper for my hard shell. It looks awesome. Now I have to figure out how to mount clear windows in a hard top so you can see the roll cage. Any clues?

You could cut out pieces of a pop bottle and glue it in place of the original windows.

You gotta cut your body to make the wheels fit. I tried them on my hardshell and took them off because of that one problem.

[QUANGVV]

Dear all , I just have a tourage , I want to improve its speed by replacing RS540 motor 16 T by Tamiya sport tune type R with 20T
Is my change is correct and do not damage any thing ( I can not get spare part for my car )
Anybody have other idea how to make it faster ., please show me
BRG

[dogboy]

If you want to make it go faster then you want a lower turn motor. The lower the turn # then the faster it will go but the less torque it will have and for a higher the turn # the slower it will go but it will have more torque. So it sounds like the change you were going to make would actually make it go slower.

[QUANGVV]

Tks for your hepl
But I think my change is faster because :
1-Tamiya type r have rev higher than stock motor ( type R max speed 22000 rpm@220g.cm , stock is Mabuchi RS 540 SH have 17000rpm@340 g.cm (about ))
2-Decrease gear ration : from 16T pinion to 20 T
Actualy result is not good , my speed seem not increase compare with stock condition ( because torque not enought , I think )
So I think I will have type R motor with 16 T pinion to increase torque while keep high motor rpm
Anyone try out to change other set up and their result
BRG

[dogboy]

Sorry I misread your post, I thought that you were saying that you were going from a 16 turn motor to a 20 turn. But I just figure out that you meant that you were going from a 16 tooth pinoin to a 20 tooth. So yeah, that should make it go faster especially since you are going to a faster motor and a bigger pinion gear. What would also make it go faster would be to get a smaller spur gear (the one that the pinion gear goes into) but I don't know if they make many for the jero. If you are making it go faster then you might want to think about lowering it because I hear (I don't actually have one of these i just want one but will never get one) that they rolll over easily even wiith the stock setup when cornering.

[QUANGVV]

Tks your information
I back to stock motor with pinion 16 T because it easy to roll over
And because with Tamiya sport tune motor type R and 20T I can not get higher speed on- road( reason is torque not enough , I think )
My purpose is run on-road only and get car as quick as possible

[minijosh]

I just picked up a mint Mu so I'm excited about this road version of the XC.

[QUANGVV]

Dear All
My tourage have problem , can you support me , thankyou in advance
problem : while corner , my front wheel is glitch , both right and left , but no glitch when run straight
My idea : Because I decrease my R turning by remove the stopper of C-Hub , so make this condition
Are anyone have same problem and how to repair or do you have idea to susgest me
Best regadrs

Sorry but that made no sense at all. Try using english and I might be able to help. but if I undestand right it may be you servo.

[QUANGVV]

Sorry for my poor English
now I will explain My VW Tourage have problem : When I steering the front wheel of my VW jerking ,
Reason : People say that because of rod is slop ( the rod is verticaly go from under to upper chassis , and loosen with outside cover )
Repair method : I was recommended add grease to this rod ( other way is add 2 bearing ) to reduce slop
My question : Is this repir method is OK or not , and do you have other method to improve my VW jerking while steering
, Thankyou in advance

[dogboy]

It shouldn't hurt anything as long as there are no electronics that the grease will be touching. I have heard that it has worked for other people that have these and it has fixed steering problems.

[DCLXVI]

The steering assebly in the XC-01 chassi is abit crap, but do I understand correct that there is slop in the wheels when at full steering or is the steering spasmic?

[QUANGVV]

slop(jerk) at when I steering , at run straight no problem , at low speed you can see ,
I know have method to correct this is by modify to ball bearing of rod , result is OK , but is there other way more easier ?

[Exige]

All on here will probably think this a silly question, but,
how does the Tamiya Stadium Raider compare to the Pajero for off roading, and toughness?

Many thanks.

[DCLXVI]

If the stadium raider is what I think it is I'd say that the Raider is much faster and probably about as though...the Pajero is better suited for doing scale crawling as it is to top heavy to go fast...

[minijosh]

The Raider is a TL01 with bigger tires. Only 3 pinions needed. The Ford Ranger and Chevy S10 are the better of those types of trucks. They are TA02's.
I'd stick with the XC range if you want to look good and have a vehicle that can drive well.

[Burban]

Just posted a NIP metaltop and a new XB body in the classifieds, if anyone is intersted. Hate to get rid of them, but medical issues force the sale.

[rojna-pl]

Got a new body for my touareg :p looks better now :cool:

[rs43]

I live in the UK, dont want to order from abroad. where do i buy one of these brand new and where do i get accessories for it? e.g. new bodyshells. also do these have a large amount of travel in the rear as standard? if not is there a guide how to get them to have lots of travel?

thanks.

[cfjan]

That is NICE.. what body did you use?!

I have a TLT myself, and I am not using those small tires/wheels.. thinking about getting a Tour-Egg :D but don't like the body.. so yours looks really good..

Let me know! Thanks!!

[rojna-pl]

That is NICE.. what body did you use?!

I used a body from the Blackfoot Xtreme, the wheels and tires are from the TLT
In order to use this body i had to shorten the wheelbase to Pajero XC spec. As the touareg has a longer wheelbase.

If you paint the Touareg a "little" different, it wont be as bad ;)

[cfjan]

That's a good looking paint job there!!

How do you shorten the wheelbase?! I assume you don't cut the chassis, do you? What's involved?!

So the Blackfoot Extreme has a shorter wheelbase?!

[rojna-pl]

The CC & XC chassis can be built with a long or short wheelbase, the only different part is the drive shaft which is longer in the Touareg, I just cut my down to size.
1 pic is long wheelbase
2 pic is short wheelbase

http://rccars.pl/trash/wheelbase01a.jpg (http://rccars.pl/trash/wheelbase01.jpg)

The Blackfoot Xtreme is a electric truck, it has nothing in common with th XC & CC

[cfjan]

I see.. thanks for the explaination (and pic!)

Yeah, I know Tamiya Blackfoot Xtreme... I am just surprised that it has a shorter wheelbase then the Touareg, that's all.. :D

[SVTcobra04]

sup dudes! im back!!!

[rs43]

I live in the UK, dont want to order from abroad. where do i buy one of these brand new and where do i get accessories for it? e.g. new bodyshells. also do these have a large amount of travel in the rear as standard? if not is there a guide how to get them to have lots of travel?

thanks.


Can any1 help me??

[SVTcobra04]

zillion could i get a link to your 4 link?

[rojna-pl]

Can any1 help me??
try a hobby shop, there are plenty in the UK ;)

[cfjan]

Finally joined the club.. just ordered my own VW Touareg!! :D I might just have to steal your idea and put my TLT wheel/tires on it!! (The pickup body looks great.. I might have to steal that too!) :rolleyes:

[cfjan]

Anyone has try to drive it on road w/ locked diff?! Are the diff the type that you can packed w/ thick grease to create a limited slip effect?

[rojna-pl]

You can run on-road with the rear diff locked, but if you try with the front diff locked, you will end up bending & twisting the front dog bones :(
The diffs in the CC01 arent "sealed" type so you cant create a LSD efect, I tried heavy diff silicone but it just leaked out making a big mess :( I just ended up locking the front diff solder, it makes a huge difference when runing offroad.

[cfjan]

Yeah.. the grease packed diff doesn't work.. the grease just get squeezed out of the diff.. doh! :mad:

I ended up using the kit pieces to lock the rear.. haven't locked the front diff yet.. will run around with this setup for awhile before I lock the front..

Here's some pics..

[cfjan]

Another one.. need better light... :D

[cfjan]

The battery holder is designed for the older smaller batteries.. the new NiMH really don't fit (a little bit too long.. by 0.25" or so)

So I put the quick release (spring loaded) graphite battery gate meant for the M-chassis car on this..

Works pretty well, I think! :D (and stay w/ Tamiya as well..!)

[cfjan]

Using the rivets to attach the 2 body panels together is the way to go.. looks good and can't take a beating (unlike those clear double sided tape that came w/ the kit)

[cfjan]

Moment before I hit the Clod... :D

[cfjan]

Clod was not amused.. so I got attacked... :mad:

[cfjan]

Kicking up some rocks!!

[cfjan]

Still look good after a day of bashing... :D

[cfjan]

Can't be a rally car without some major lighting system... :D

[XXWoodmanXX]

Nice! What tires/rims are those? TLT?

[cfjan]

Yeah, they are TLT leftovers!! :D

[XXWoodmanXX]

Yeah, they are TLT leftovers!! :D

Are those standard Tamiya 12mm Hexes?

[rojna-pl]

yes they have a standard 12mm hex and fit without any modifications, but you must raise the body a little.

[cfjan]

Instead of raising the body, I just cut a bigger wheel arch... :D

[rojna-pl]

yes its easy to cut bigger arches in a lexan body, but mine is plastic .......

[cfjan]

Right.... of course.... :D

I did the steering mod.. will post some pics of it later!!

[cfjan]

I guess this is pretty self explanatory... Basically cut off the stock steering arms and glue them to the collars, then use bearings with aluminum shaft to substitute the original plastic tube..

Not like I drive my RC that much to warrant this, but I just thought it would be better to have ballbearings instead of plastic to plastic contact..

It turned out pretty well, I think... when I return the steering back to neutural on the radio, the car would track straight, without the need for more correction, so it is nice...

[cfjan]

Action shot!! (a friend used software to remove the body posts and the antenna..! :D)

[rojna-pl]

not a lot of focus ... but I like it ... in one hand my M8 and in the other my Nikon :driving:

[cfjan]

Nice! I like it!! Same for me, I drive w/ one hand, while taking pics with the other!! :rolleyes:

[Combatcm]

Don't bash it too hard, I did the steering mod like that and it broke after about 2 months of abuse.

[cfjan]

It climbs pretty well...

[rojna-pl]

my steering mod ... its bullet proof :cool:

[cfjan]

What's there to break??? :confused:

I don't bash hard in general.. :D I am an old man... ha ha!


Don't bash it too hard, I did the steering mod like that and it broke after about 2 months of abuse.

[cfjan]

Yeah, the front diff is still open.. :roll2: Still drive it on road sometimes, so.... rear is locked, though..

[rojna-pl]

modified my chassis a little to fit saddle packs ... but i have to remove the radio plate to get it out :(

F350 wheels on my F150

[cfjan]

Nice!! Lucky you w/ the F-350!! I will get one eventually! :D

[rojna-pl]

The F350 is a awesome car ... but im sticking with my F150 for bashing and mud :D

[cfjan]

Did you lock the front diff as well?

Yeah, the F-150 shell looks great!!

[rojna-pl]

yes I have both diffs locked ... lot of traction :D

[cfjan]

I only locked the rear...

How did you lock the front? Did you just glue them? I know I can use JB Weld to glue the gears together...

I still drive my car on road, so maybe I shouldn't lock the front diff yet! :)

[Combatcm]

I didn't realise you had the cross pin in the steerer tube. That thing should last.

Throw some of this in and see how long it lasts

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFTY0&P=7

[cfjan]

Mine does not have the cross pin.. I just press fit it and then CA glued it.. so far, okay.. haven't had problem yet, but who knows what's gonna happen down the road!!

The diff oil would be nice for the front but it is not the sealed type diff, so it would just leak out, slowly, I am sure... :mad:

[cfjan]

Stock 540 silver can motor can still kick up some rocks.. :D

[cfjan]

Solid axle = axle hop!!

[cfjan]

Almost wheelie.. almost... :D

[rojna-pl]

Tryed the diff oil ... it leaked out in about 3 minutes of runing making a big mess :(

[cfjan]

I think I will leave the front diff open for now then.... argh!! :huh:

[cfjan]

So silly video I made..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd686DUQ6g8

[cfjan]

The other side of the hill...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2WtXIYu4v8

[cfjan]

Got the LED back from RAM.. all fixed now...

[reptile]

:D Hi one of my 4 XC's has TLT tires on it like yours...Put your tires on with the tread backwards and you will climb right up that hill!!!

[cfjan]

Thanks for the tips!! I will try that for sure!! :D

Got any pics of your XCs?!

[reptile]

Yea here they are!
fill in the blanks to rc pics .net

all my XC's they have changed now you can see more on my link of my album
http://www.******.net/img/63649

Look through this all my pages theres lots of pic's and some trailing vids and mod information and photos!
http://www.******.net/member/Shenlonco

[cfjan]

NICE! You must like the XC chassis a lot to own 4... :D

That's a lot of tanks there!! Nice collection!! :cool:

[reptile]

Thanks

[cfjan]

Do you have a 1/16th scale Leo 2A6?

[reptile]

Hi no i don't have one.

[rojna-pl]

had some fun on the beach today :cool:

[cfjan]

It looks great!! I really like that body on the Touareg!! :D

[minijosh]

I'll be painting my Pajero and Mu hard shells sometime this week I hope. Gonna try something new.

[reptile]

:) Found some vids from last year of trailing in the mountain with the Jero.
Enjoy
Pajero Hard core part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2OwP2KZmf8)

[rojna-pl]

nice one ;)

[cfjan]

That's cool.. that's a good setup for off-road with a lot of articulation on the back! :D

I'd probably prefer running longer shocks instead, though!!

[reptile]

:p It does have longer shocks!

[minijosh]

What kind of shocks are they?

[reptile]

Hi they are traxxas stampeed front shocks with losi white soft springs.

[reptile]

:D enjoy!

Trailing part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZNKCCJLRXw)

[cfjan]

Nice video.. I am still not used to seeing that rear shock mounted on the extra link to give more down travel.. it feels the wheel is almost falling off.. hee hee.. :D

[minijosh]

I just sorted out my Pajero. I'm running a LRP F1 esc which is awesome. It allows me to take a screw driver and give it more or less power. Finally cut my wheels now. Mole hills are great to crawl over. I'm going to make my rear end a 4 link when I get my traxxas ball ends. LRP truck puller 2 motor with a 20 tooth pinion.

[minijosh]

Anyone want to post pics or fun runs with their xc's? Just got a new friend Dave who lives very close to me. Went out on Saturday with xc's and mine on one set 3300 with my truck puller and it lasted almost an hour. Crazy huh?

[GT Freak]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyOV-c9vcWs&mode=related&search=

THE ORIGANAL and still THE BEST

anone know here i can find one at??

[minijosh]

Ebay or tamiyaclub.com would be my guess at where you can get one.

[minijosh]

Went out running my beast today with another XC and a F350. Pajeros rule!!!! Anyone 4 link their rear ends? As for motors, the other truck had a 35 turn lathe and I had my LRP truck puller 2 motor. My motor is an 80 turn slow poke. A little too slow if you ask me.

[Tig]

What kind of chassis does a Pajero have?
I saw one that had a chassis like a Bruiser. Was this a custom or an older model?
Can someone show me some pics.

Thanks

[minijosh]

Here's the picture of what the chassis looks like.

[Tig]

Thanks minijosh, I appreciate it.
I would like to order one. Does Tamiya have a part # for the Pajero?

Thanks again minijosh, you da man.

[minijosh]

To buy one you'll have to check ebay or look for the VW Toureag thing. The hardshells ie Pajero, Jeep Wrangler, Honda CRV, Isuzu Mu are all discontinued and ebay will be the place to buy one. The VW and the CRV have the longer wheel base but all chassis can be set up for either with ease.

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGMR7&P=0

That it the newest one.

[Tig]

Thanks again minijosh.
Off to Ebay to find one, or hopefully find one.

[minijosh]

I own a Pajero and a Mu. I love the hard shells!!!

[cfjan]

I thought this is a pretty good pic..

Those are not water.. they are ice... :D

[minijosh]

Here are some pics of our little bashing session in the UK. Trying to find more people to come and play.

[cfjan]

Looks good!!

[Tig]

Nice shots guys. Still searching for one.

[cfjan]

You can still buy the Touareg at Tower... $155, then use the $25 off $125 coupon.. not bad, really... :D

[ian48065]

:D enjoy!

Trailing part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZNKCCJLRXw)

could you list all the parts you used to redo the suspension in the back?

ie: linkages etc. I have the shocks

thanks! btw your vids are amazing, I want mine to be able to do that ;)

[BillH]

I just striped my MU body and started priming. Lots of work left.

[ian48065]

i just put a integy 55 turn "rockcrawling" motor in my pajero, along with my new venom 3300 battery and ran a lil more than two hours! i love it :D

[minijosh]

I run an 80 turn LRP Truck Puller 2 motor. I'm alot slower than my 55 turn buddies XC. I think I should change out the motors. I have so much grunt but there's no momentum so getting up somehills don't work, even at full speed. I get a few hours out with my motor also with a hitec 695 servo. Cut tires help out alot too but the hardshell makes it top heavy. I'm entering into a 1.9 class in July with my Pajero. Wish me luck. It should be tuned a lot more by then.

[ian48065]

i am running cut tires aswell, cant beat them once you do it. i like the 55 turn because its not to much torque to break stuff and still leaves enough wheel speed to get around and up tough areas.


good luck :wave:

[rc_insane]

Hi guys !
Just discovered this forum :)

I currently own an XC Isuzu. The only problem I have with it is that when I drive it backwards it makes a rattling noise and the wheels don't spin. When I do it slowly everything goes well.

What would this be ?

[RichiPuppy]

You're probably missing one of those little plastic cap things that hold the shafts in place in the transmission and when you forwards the gears hold them selves in place, but going backwards pushes the gears out of place.

[rc_insane]

That could be it. Found a similar problem in another thread also.
I'll have a look at it tonight.

I'm going to mod this one a little bit for light trial purposes. How would an 560 engine and Tamiya 302BK ESC perform ? Would it be able to drive slow enough with enough torque ? Oil filled shocks wil be mounted.

Any other mods I could do ?

[RichiPuppy]

I just have a stock motor in mine, but I have heard alot of people using 55T lathe motors for slower driving and lots more torque.

[lee1980]

Has anyone got there re-realese kit of the pajero (49490) yet ?

In UK date is meant to be 30th april!

I have wanted one of these since i was in my early teens, couldnt afford it got a chevy s-10 great truck still and my first tamiya now im hooked lol, last tamiya i got was juggernaut that i still have:D and at that time no pajeros about, so im so happy to see this re-release:):)

Already ordered some topcad alloys for it:D:):D

thanks

Lee:)

[cfjan]

I pre-ordered it a couple of months ago.. Tower still shows it as "Late April".. so whenever they get their shipment from TamiyaUSA, I will get mine!! :D

[lee1980]

well darn it! here in UK these are selling like hot cakes! I went to order mine yesterday from one of biggest online stockists in UK and they have sold out of there first allocation and are not sure if they will get anymore due it be a limited re-release!

Luckily I have managed to order one from a smaller store and they were only getting the one and he assured me the tamiya rep told them all what they were getting so should for sure have mine in store on 5th May:)

All i can say is phew! I missed it first time around lol, if i missed it again! I dont know what i wouldve done, well probably would got tamiyas CR01 rock crawler!!

Thanks

Lee:)

[gixxer]

I'm waiting for mine. Hopefully it's here soon.

[lee1980]

Here in UK these have sold out! , so just ordered from Tower hobbies.

Mine is called back ordered, so does that mean they have already sold the ones they had on pre order?

Or is everyones order status the same ? awaiting back order?

[gixxer]

Here in UK these have sold out! , so just ordered from Tower hobbies.

They will ship when it comes in. I believe you cannnot order if all the preorders are sold.

[lee1980]

They will ship when it comes in. I believe you cannnot order if all the preorders are sold.

Yeah i guess thats why it said on back order! so there first shipment is most likely sold!

Luckily in end i found one here in UK a small model shop was getting just one in, and I got it on Saturday! looks identical to previous kit even manual, though there is an ammendment sheet for esc, and using the TLU-01 L.E.D's instead of the old bulbs,and it tells you that you need 2 more yellow led's for front two fog lights! and the threaded steering rod that attaches to servo is longer 50mm instead of 34mm or some thing and the servo axle is towards rear of vehicle instead of front i think this will make the angles between linkages nearer 90 degrees, and i think less bump steer to!

Looks well cool just as i was hoping the body is very detailed, though i cant build mine for a week or to as im away from home aaahhhhh!!!:eek::eek:

Thanks

Lee.

[pajero1980]

Hi guys, I was lee1980 above but changed my user name lol!

When i start my pajero re-release next week im going to add pics here if i can sort of an online build of pics as i go it might not be that fast of a build as I wont be building it continually lol!

Thanks

Lee:)

[4wdmt]

Keep us posted lee. I'll be checking your pajero build.

[pajero1980]

Keep us posted lee. I'll be checking your pajero build.

Thanks, started it on weekend only got beggining of gear and motor in so not much done but i love how scale the chassis is with way things are mounted etc compared to normal rc chassis!

Silly me here forgot to get pics of this first step lol, i will when i next get back on to it! its going to be a sloooow build, but thats good in a way as it wont be over to quick then. I do find building rc's most enjoyable and can never undestand why you would want it already built!

Thanks

Lee:)

[4wdmt]

Any pics lee? What is the progress?

[pajero1980]

Any pics lee? What is the progress?

Same progress lol, but tonite (that be UK time this eve) i will have pics of what i have done so far!
this will probably be slowest build ever lol, family troubles at home and seeing girl friend doesnt leave much building time as id like lol but dont tell them that!!:)

Thanks

Lee:)

[pajero1980]

Some pics of the first build steps, some are not very good new cam not used to it yet or not sure how to use it lol, used upclose macro on some and it worked well others not so good lol!

First gear box assembly, front diff, output to rear prop shaft, steering bell cranks, lower and upper arms, drive cups in place.

I have used metal shielded bearings through out, and plan to replace the middle wire steering piece with a turnbuckle if it fits in the space there!

Thats it so far till next time!

Thanks

Lee:)

[pajero1980]

More pics! got more time to do some more today! getting a bit better at pics to now came out quite well i thought!

Got front knuckles and axles etc on, prop shaft love it, and that metal diff is just great on bearings to it all runs really smooth!, and now axle complete ready to be fitted next time!

Thanks

Lee:)

[4wdmt]

Going along nicely lee. Kepp em coming.

[pajero1980]

Going along nicely lee. Kepp em coming.

Thanks will do, its better in a way taking time to do it, where as when i was younger would of made this one up in a day now im doing it hour by hour lasts longer! Just got axle on last night i love how the 4 link thingy works now just doing shocks will have pics soon!

Thanks

Lee:)

[pajero1980]

Almost done with chassis now apart from all electrics and body posts etc.
Got my topcad rims on which i think look great take for ever to bolt on though lol and im using an old set of tires from my chevy s-10 for now they must be around 15years old now lol!

You can see the longer revised steering link from the servo also, im using a futuba S3050 digital servo very fast and precise! for now im going to use stock motor and included esc to.

I love how it moves on the suspension just like the real thing cant wait to run this over some rough terrain!!

Wont get to work on it for a few weeks now as im off on my hols!

Thanks

Lee:)

[4wdmt]

Nice wheels! Take your time. Make everything perfect.

[coolcar24th]

Hi, I just bought a tamiya Pajero Recently. I broke the front knuckle though. Does anyone know where I can find aluminum knuckles for it?

BTW here is my Pajero. Its one of the original ones that were released awhile back.

[pajero1980]

hi nice pajero, looks cool with lights on!

Only metal knuckles i know of are from rc channles but you cant just use knuckles alone i dont think they sell like whole front end and rear axle in metal, at mo its sold out awaiting a new version which im also waiting for lol!

Thanks

Lee:)

[944g37]

what is "rc channles"? is there a link for them, i googled it and could not find anything.

[lee1980]

Hi all been a while, not had much time on my pajero still not painted the body yet and im moving out in new year so wont have much time now till new year ahhhh!
