how fast does the pajero go stock

SteveK · #**279** 07-07-2003, 12:14 PM

The stock Pajero will go about 12mph stock. That was from RCCA, and with the stock MSC and bushings, so bearings and an ESC will increase run time and speed.

It isn't fast, but it's really powerful: It will just claw it's way along grass in my yard that is taller than the wheels. There was a picture on RC MT of a guy climbing a table set up against a wall at some crazy angle, and all he did was put a tarp or something over it for traction.

Maxxcrazy · #**280** 07-07-2003, 08:17 PM

there not build for speed or jumping, there made for just about everything else besides those two.

is there a Pajero kit

SteveK · #**282** 07-08-2003, 12:23 AM

There were some kits using the same chassis, but they were discontinued more than 5 years ago. You could get a Jeep Wrangler, Mistibishi Pajero MTW (MetalTopWide, same as the Dodge Raider over here), Honda CRV, and on-road and off-road versions of the Isuzu Amigo/Mu. All the bodies were hard ABS plastic, like the little static models.

My pajero should be in tomarrow!!! yes! lol I cant wait

should i lock both diffs? or just the rear? thanks~iAn

Janders · #**284** 07-11-2003, 11:57 AM

definitely lock both diffs, if you won't be rock climbing, at least lock the rear diff

Doomed · #**285** 07-11-2003, 02:12 PM

I'm with Jander, lock both but only if your all off-road.

ian48065 · #**286** 07-12-2003, 12:34 AM

how do i get to the center diff, i already locked the rear. I am falling in love with the detail of this truck, its great!~iAn

SteveK · #**287** 07-12-2003, 12:58 AM

You have to lift off that main plate, it covers up all the gears in the tranny. If you unscrew the steering knuckles and slide the dogbones out, you can remove the outdrives and the front diff just lifts straight up.

There is a mechanical insert in the kit that can just be slipped in and it locks the rear diff. If you order the G parts bag you will get it. One might fit up front too, so you don't have to make a permanant modification up there.

I haven't experienced it, but I hear the rear diff gears blow out easily when doing hard crawling, so locking is almost a must.

Doomed · #**288** 07-12-2003, 09:10 AM

SteveK is right, order two "G" parts bags, it works at both ends.

SteveK · #**289** 07-12-2003, 11:39 AM

I'm just wondering, where do you guys get your Pajero parts? I want to snag a bunch of the stuff that only works on the Pajero, such as rear end, gears, chassis, etc. just in case. I also wanted a set of tires and a clear body to mess with.

BTW, if you can find them, a set of the wheels from the Tamiya Lancia 037 rally car would look great on this chassis: Just spray on some semi-gloss or flat clearcoat and you have some aluminum-look wheels (Or leave them chrome) with the circular hole pattern.

Doomed · #**290** 07-14-2003, 12:56 AM

I get most parts I need off of e-bay, which are usualy over priced. Some not to bad. I just bought a clear lexan Pajero body from Tamiya, it was $59 shipped.

SteveK · #**291** 07-14-2003, 01:09 AM

OK, forget that....

Doomed · #**292** 07-19-2003, 11:50 AM

I agree but I wanted something other than the silver and the factory paint is a bear to get off.

SteveK · #**293** 07-19-2003, 02:35 PM

But that's 3 bodies from Parma (And of their fairly scale truck or SUV bodies), Bolink (I have an S10 Blazer that will fit pretty well), or Pro-Line (If you can find the Mercedes SUV they made, I think it's discontinued).

Doomed · #**294** 07-19-2003, 03:29 PM

Yes I know, I'm on crack but I really like the Pajero body!

SteveK · #**295** 07-19-2003, 05:56 PM

If I had a vacuum-forming machine I would pay that, just so I could have unlimited copies of the body. Same with the hard plastic bodies: I'd pay a lot for one if I was able to make all the Lexan copies I wanted.

maX energ · #**296** 07-19-2003, 08:55 PM

hey, i've had my pajero for a while and i made a few of my own mods, im really happy with its performance..
i cut the front bumper (those extra 2 bars that extand from the round rectangle in the middle, i thought they looked unrealistic! and they did!!, also it improves off roading cause small things wont hit the bumper, now they hit the tires and then it will climb over them...)
i have also locked both diffs, and have a torque spilter.
i made a custom aluminum transfer case skid plate, i love it! ill have some pics soon!
i also just finished making myself a custom tie-rod rear end...(its crazy! lol)
it raises the rear .5 of an inch and i get MASSIVLY MORE arcticulation...its wack! lol
tamiya 540SH motor, bearings, MC230R esc, tamiya motor heat sink, duratrax 3" gold shocks in the fron and stock rears (i like them lol) and i added some scraches to my body lol..

about my rear end...(it uses some clod part, tie rods, zip ties lol) hey...it works, and there no one out there that makes hop ups...

well anyways...keep on 4x4ing...

Now where did I put that "vacuum-forming machine", good idea!

"i have also locked both diffs, and have a torque spilter."

How the heck can that work?

Some people will do anything to accomodate a Pajero Body:

SteveK · #**299** 07-20-2003, 08:37 PM

Reminds me of some of the old monster trucks back in the early 1980s, when some guys used 72" tires (66" is now the standard), and with a short wheelbase pickup or a Bronco body, you can imagine the clearance issues there.

maX energ · #**300** 07-20-2003, 10:12 PM

about the torque splitter and the locked front end....

if i hit the gas..it will power each wheel normally but complelty together...i i let off, they keep rolling (together..) and i lose power in the front wheels when in reverse...but since my truck goes over ANYTHING forwards...it doesnt matter lol

does that answer that? i dunno...it works althought i it kinda defeats the purpose of a front one way ..i think.... whats the advantages of a front one way...? all i can think of seem like disadvantages... no front brakes, only RWD in reverse?

help me! what are the advantages?
