Expedition Pajero 1/10

[AeroSynch]

It is finally here, sort of. I don't have pictures of the build process since it was done when I was moving and had no internet, but here are some pictures before I paint it and what I am going for.

Here is what I wanted to go for, and exactly how I am painting it; white with the fenders and bumpers black:

Four link on the front, works great.

Rear has leafs, but will be changed to a 4 link also:

So I just have to paint it, and secure the body since it is only sitting on the chassis, and work some minor details out, like the major rubbing on the front, and electronics neatness.

Hope you like it so far.

[mado_obam]

awesome, did you make the chassis or did you buy them? anyways, nice

[AeroSynch]

awesome, did you make the chassis or did you buy them? anyways, nice

Thank you. Everything is bought.

[mado_obam]

still, i like it.

[AeroSynch]

still, i like it.

:lol:
Thanks.

[TheB1GDude]

WoW! That thing is a beast! Can't wait to see more!

[AeroSynch]

WoW! That thing is a beast! Can't wait to see more!

Thanks man! I'm painting this weekend, so I'll update it.

Here are the specs:

TLT Axles
MFM Racing Chassis
Axial AX-10 Transmission
Futaba 3PM
Futaba S3003 Servo
Hilux Wheels and Tires
Tamiya Mitsubishi Pajero Body
LRP ESC

[AeroSynch]

I changed out the leafs and made a 4 link for the rear.

http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa297/AeroSynch/CIMG0751.jpg


So I got the electronics mounted up, and since it is 4WD now, it is finally a runner. I had to shorten the driveshafts by .25" on both of them to accommodate the wheelbase and transmission placement. I also am going to make a mount for the transmission out of styrene. Do you like my GhettoCAD skills?..:lol:
It has nice flex for a scaler.

[texan_idiot25]

Very nice looking.

What sort of chassis/frame rails is that? Looks like some sort of one-size-fits-all

[AeroSynch]

Thank you.
It is an MFM Racing Chassis. Yup, one size fits all. :lol:

[stang_racer]

that thing kicks *** holy crap i super uber envey you!!!! **** i want that thing

[JDMDUDE]

man that looks really good

[noturday]

looks amazing dude, almost too good to get dirty haha, but 1 suggestion if i may, you should either move the spare tire in the roof rack to the rear, or get another tire/wheel like the one in the roof rack to put on the rear. i think it would look better with more than just a wheel cover on the back of the truck. great setup though, wish i had one like that

[AeroSynch]

Thanks for the comments guys. They paint job is pretty sweet right? :D
It was painted with car paint by Steel Breeze Customs in Ft. Lauderdale, so he was really close to me.

[texan_idiot25]

That is a freakin' excellent paint job.

[AeroSynch]

Yea. I really like it. It's all thank to Steel Breeze Customs. :bigwink:
Very shiny.

That is a freakin' excellent paint job.

[taiwanesekid05]

Wow, that is sure shiny...

I can even see you... And your mustache...

[AeroSynch]

That's not me, that's Mark, the guy who painted the truck for me. Heck, I can't grow a mustache like that at 16! :lol:

Wow, that is sure shiny...

I can even see you... And your mustache...

[firebird999]

ft lauderdale? i go there sometimes. sweet, are the paintjobs cheap?

[AeroSynch]

Ehh..it depends. Size, colors, etc. I guess for an Xmod it can be a good price. This one wasn't so cheap being at 1/10 scale and using actual car paint.

ft lauderdale? i go there sometimes. sweet, are the paintjobs cheap?

[AeroSynch]

I went and got the body today from SteelBreeze and I was speechless. Beautiful under the sun. These are the only pictures that I will show you for a week because I am going on a cruise tomorrow and coming back Friday, and no I can't take the Pajero (Mom won't let me...:mad: ). Enjoy.

bootiful pajero u have there sir.

Thank you.

[Donziikid]

If you want to give it a little more detail, I'd suggest painting the badge on the front grill red instead of having it black and blending in with the rest of the grill. Just food for thought.

Love the two tone with the simple colors. Looks good, but probably looks better dirty. ;)

[HUMMER H4]

no problem

The badge comes as a sticker in the decal sheet but I didn't get it. I have to get it dirty yes. Thank you.

[taiwanesekid05]

and no I can't take the Pajero (Mom won't let me...:mad: ).

Mmm... Mommy are always teh decider...

The Pajero looks a bit plain now... I dunno what you could do with it IMO. Good luck getting it dirty :)

[AeroSynch]

:lol:
Yup, the decider.
I can run it through mud to make it more interesting..

[HUMMER H4]

hey aerosynch can i ask u a question,how much did ur pajero cost to do??

[dekker]

nice i wish i had one lol

[AeroSynch]

hey aerosynch can i ask u a question,how much did ur pajero cost to do??

Not a very pretty price:

TLT Axles - $100
Pajero body set - $100
Chassis - $60
Electronics - $100
Wheels and tires - $40
Scale Accessories (lights, rack, etc) - $50
Suspension, links, and drive components - $50

About $500.:bigwink:

[HUMMER H4]

dang where did u get the rack from??

[AeroSynch]

dang where did u get the rack from??

Off a member from another forum; custom made.

[HUMMER H4]

Oh i see,and do u have to of those pajeros or 1,cuz i see a pinkish one and a silver one??

[AeroSynch]

Oh i see,and do u have to of those pajeros or 1,cuz i see a pinkish one and a silver one??

Just one. The pink looking one was with primer on.

[HUMMER H4]

Oh im new to xmods but not other R/C so idk much about like tamiya and buggies.

Christ! Axles have gone up in price! If I remember right, when I was pricing some TLT axles you could easily find them for around 80 a pair.

[AeroSynch]

Yup. Ever since Tamiya discontinued the TLT Kit the axles have gone up in price. But Tamiya is going to start selling the axles by themselves soon enough. RC4WD.com also has some nice looking axles for $100.

[AeroSynch]

Here are the poser shots. Still haven't gotten it dirty..sad isn't it?
Also shows how I mounted my mirrors to allow them to move without breaking off.

Haha.. Scale4X4.. Great site.

She sure is purty in white. Certainly has a lot of flex for a trail rider, too. :)

Make sure to get some video when you get her dirty, please! :D

Yup, Scale 4x4 is where I hang out, and it is a great site. Thanks for the comments. She does have a lot of flex for a scaler, so I'll have to remedy that later. Don't worry, I'll get a video of her in action. :bigwink:

[scoter]

thats cool looking, nice job

[mytitan]

scoter, that is hobbygrade incase you were wondering

[AeroSynch]

Thank you.:bigwink:

[65mustangrock]

compared to wat u were shootin for ur reaaaaally close! anouter set of lights of the grill and a winch on the front and ur dead on!

[texan_idiot25]

But he didn't. Please stop this useless posting.

[AeroSynch]

I have the lights, but they aren't mounted yet. All I would need is a winch, true.

[AeroSynch]

Well I figured out the lighting system. Hot glue was my friend today. I glued the switch next to the lighting battery box that I made out of thick paper, on the front of the Pajero, under the hood:

[wadethejuggalo]

man those are huge to me normally with xmods but how much do they weigh and how much money average are they??

[AeroSynch]

man those are huge to me normally with xmods but how much do they weigh and how much money average are they??

Weight about 10 pounds with everything on it. Costs about $500 to build plus labor. :bigwink:

[BulletsRain]

Awesome, I was thinking about getting one, but It is a little out of my budget. I'll just have to make an xmods one instead. Man that is cool. Good work dude. :nod:

[AeroSynch]

Thanks man. If you do make a scale version of mine, tell me so I can see it. :bigwink:

[HUMMER H4]

I love ur truck its so different from ordinary R/C cars i see.

[AeroSynch]

I would, but I gotta get a truck first....and learn how to make it good you know....:roll_eye:

[AeroSynch]

:lol:
What are you waiting for then? Lol.

[BulletsRain]

A good price on one =).

[AeroSynch]

A good price on one =).

A Titan Xmod is like $20...Last time I got mine that was the price.

[BulletsRain]

Ebay I suppose? I'll go check now.....:)

[AeroSynch]

Ebay I suppose? I'll go check now.....:)

Go go go! Then you need to find a kit like this:

Pajero Body 1/24 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Mitsubishi-Pajero-Super-Exceed-1-24-Tamiya-115-1992-MIB_W0QQitemZ250280932504QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item2 50280932504&_trkparms=72%3A1075|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318)

[BulletsRain]

Ha, thanks for finding that, I was looking for one. :lol:

[AeroSynch]

Ha, thanks for finding that, I was looking for one. :lol:

:lol: No problem. The only thing is that the eBay one is a longer LWB 4 door version while mine is a SWB 2 door.

[BulletsRain]

This one might work too, http://cgi.ebay.com/Fujimi-Mitsubishi-Pajero-Model-Kit-NIB_W0QQitemZ140256264385QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item1 40256264385&_trkparms=72%3A552|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318

[bestdragon2001]

Thats a really cool crawler! I was wondering where did you get your chassis because soon I plan to build a crawler similiar to yours.

[AeroSynch]

That looks like it will work. But is it 1/24 scale. It looks like it is, but always check.

Thats a really cool crawler! I was wondering where did you get your chassis because soon I plan to build a crawler similiar to yours.

Thank you. I got it from mfmracing.com or tcscrawlers.com.

Xmods are 1/28 right? I've never fit any bodies on them....:o Guess I gotta learn :lol:

[BulletsRain]

Hey Aero does you Pajero have locked differentials?

[AeroSynch]

Hey Aero does you Pajero have locked differentials?

Rear is locked, but the front is open so it can actually steer.

[BulletsRain]

Ugh I'm gonna try to do this, but it will be slow going......I don't even know if I can get the Truck lol...

[AeroSynch]

Ugh I'm gonna try to do this, but it will be slow going......I don't even know if I can get the Truck lol...

Lol, that's good. When you want, and if you want, make a thread about the Mini Expedition Pajero. :lol:

[taiwanesekid05]

You should put on an assload of lights just for fun. That way, whenever someone messes up your crawling, just point the truck their way and blind them.

[KITT222]

or put on some super-high temp halogen lights so you can just melt their truck!

[BulletsRain]

Or just mount a mini flame thrower on it. That will do the job....but gas prices might affect that. :lol:

Wow, some great ideas. But the lights I have are blinding enough for me.
Flamethrower? Lmao. Sounds like a plan.

[bestdragon2001]

Hey I was also wondering how you wired up your lights because I would like to try it when I build mine.

[AeroSynch]

Hey I was also wondering how you wired up your lights because I would like to try it when I build mine.

I bought them all wired up, 4 white, two red, from another forum.

[bestdragon2001]

Ok cool I seen some on TCS so I might try them.

[AeroSynch]

Ok cool I seen some on TCS so I might try them.

TCS is a good place also.:bigwink:

[jabari]

Would it be cheaper to buy one of these kits or build one from scratch? I was looking on tcscrawlers and found a nice one.

[BulletsRain]

Aero, what year is your pajero?

And is this it? http://shop.tinyrc.com/d_images/KYO-MVG5W-a.jpg

[AeroSynch]

Would it be cheaper to buy one of these kits or build one from scratch? I was looking on tcscrawlers and found a nice one.

It depends. What kit are you talking about? The AX-10? I find it better to build it from scratch because you get to select every single component and know it inside out. It rounds up to around the same thing.

Aero, what year is your pajero?

And is this it? http://shop.tinyrc.com/d_images/KYO-MVG5W-a.jpg

I don't know the exact year but it is between 1993 and 1996, or something like that. The one in the link is the newer one, but it can work. It's just more round.

[AeroSynch]

Today I made a license plate for the Pajero. Came out nice:

SCOTER, this is not conversation time. Please, for the love of god and all that is holy, slow down on posting. If you have a specific question, and want to chat with aero, please, for the love of the trees and the bears, and the rivers and the mountains...

Use the PM system. You don't need to respond to every thread and every post from every person on this site. Your average posting rate is near 30 per day. Most people aren't over 5.

[AeroSynch]

Took it outside but to my dismay there are animals called mosquitoes that like to suck your blood and bother you, so I only snapped two pictures before I ran back inside.

Either that Pajero is smaller than it looks, or you have really tall grass.

[AeroSynch]

Tall grass. Pajero is 16" x 8".

[BulletsRain]

Get a video of it running. :) So we can see how epic it really is. :nod:

[AeroSynch]

Yea..ehh...about that. I've tried, but let's face it, I live in Miami, land of no rocks. I can provide a video on grass, but the mosquitoes would eat me alive.:lol:

Seriously, I'll try.

[BulletsRain]

Well....there is always sand and sea shell mounds..... :roll:

[AeroSynch]

True. Whenever I go to the beach, I'll take it.

[Donziikid]

Hence why it's electronically controlled. You open the door, throw it outside (with it on), close the door and drive from the safety of your house. :)

No, it's not as crazy as it sounds, I do it during the winter all the time. :lol:

In all seriousness, it looks beastly out there. :nod: Cannot wait for the video.

[AeroSynch]

:lol: :lol:
I did that the other day but in my back yard. With the screen door and everything, but when it got stuck...I almost left it there until later, lol.

Thanks for the comment.:)

[BulletsRain]

You could wrap your self in blankets or whatever and make eyes holes to see and breath out of! Or you could get some bugspray. I don't remember the mosquitoes being that bad when I was in Florida...but I guess there is a lot of water.

OMG....you could make a bugspray flamethrower and mount it on the Pajero! That will keep em away....well maybe not from you...but the Pajero will be mosquito bite free :lol: :roll_eye:

Just imagine the look you get while wrapped in blankets driving an R/C truck..:eyecraz:
They become crazy during this time of year only, so it will end soon.
I like the flamethrower idea...:lol: :lol:
Now to brainstorm on it. First question, how?

[BulletsRain]

Mini hand held torch + can of bugspray...with duck tape over the button so it continues to spray out...

Only thing that could go wrong is a BOOM!! :lol:

Not so sure I want to try that now..:roll_eye:
I'll put on bug spray tomorrow I guess.

[BulletsRain]

Now would be a great time to get video of it in action imo. Just stroll down to the beach....and amaze us with awesome video of it. :lol:

[AeroSynch]

Today I went a actually used the Pajero in some terrain...sand. Did good, but the tires could be better. And the suspension is still soft, causing rubbing when turning under some flex. I took all the pictures with my phone. The video was also from the phone, so please excuse the crappy video quality. Moreover, it's hard to drive while recording with a flip phone..:lol:

Not bad at all. The hole in the sand doesn't like it though. It wants to eat the Pajero....:) Nice pictures too.

Thanks.

[scoter]

thats awsome, looks like it does good to me

[mytitan]

But he didn't. Please stop this useless posting.

texan, me and scoter had a descution in pm's about hobbygrade that is why i said this.

[AeroSynch]

Thank you for the comments.

[AeroSynch]

Tomorrow (today) I plan to make some better body mounts for the rear, using velcro. Also, I might be getting new shocks sometime later this week.

[AeroSynch]

Well, I finally got my items from The Scale Bungee Store, and it was well worth the wait. I got a cooler, a fishing pole, bungees, and 2 chains, which I don't really know where they go. No outdoor pictures because I don't want the Pajero to be taken off my hands by Hurricane Fay.

[KITT222]

[BulletsRain]

Very nice Aero..and Hurricane Fay doesn't want it...I DO. :lol:

[AeroSynch]

Very nice Aero..and Hurricane Fay doesn't want it...I DO. :lol:

:lol: :lol:
Do you dream about my Pajero too?

[HUMMER H4]

Your XUV (eXtreme Utility Vehicle)makes me want one also,lol it has great speed eh??I do dream about it also.lol

[BulletsRain]

Lol. It would have so much more fun where I live....There are creeks and rocks, and dirt....and are all walking distance from my house. :lol:

Some evil snake might try and eat it though! I had one chase me once....I guess it thought I was gonna steal the fish that was in its mouth....that was a big fish too........:roll_eye:

[AeroSynch]

Yea, it has some wheelspeed. Instead of crawling rocks, I race on them.:lol:

All you would have to do is pay me $600 and it is all yours. :eyecraz: :lol: :lol:

I just wish Miami was more off road friendly...

[BulletsRain]

Lol. $600....whew....well if I sold my dirtbike possibly....:lol: :lol: ......:roll_eye:

Miami is more Boat friendly. :lol: :lol:

[HUMMER H4]

Hmm im going to start a fundraiser,lmao ill have it by sometime next year.lol just kidding.maybe

Good luck with that guys. :lol:
Boats? Pfft..Pajero is 50% waterproof! (Needs waterproofing in receiver still)

[HUMMER H4]

Lol im putting some of my extra R/C Cars up for sale rite now.

[BulletsRain]

How did you water proof it?
I don't think it could float, but that would be wicked cool! :lol:

[Donziikid]

Alright guys, come on, let's stay a little more on topic and a little less time wishing. ;)

[AeroSynch]

How did you water proof it?
I don't think it could float, but that would be wicked cool! :lol:
For the receiver, I just balloon it or fill the openings of the box it is in with hot glue.
Why float when you can drive on the bottom? :lol:

[BulletsRain]

Sorry Donz.

Aero did you get the suspension right yet?

[AeroSynch]

Well, I lost one suspension spring the other day, so I had to modify some Nikko shocks as a temporary fix while I get my new springs in the mail. But I did lower it more, as you can tell by the last picture I posted.

[HUMMER H4]

Yeah sorry DONZ,why dont u jus put perpellers on the back and call it a amphajero??

[AeroSynch]

Yeah sorry DONZ,why dont u jus put perpellers on the back and call it a amphajero??

Because that would just be retarded..:lol: :lol:
I don't like water; prefer mud, sand, etc.

[BulletsRain]

Can you still get into the receiver box when its hot glued?

With all the sand down there I'd think you'd need some small paddles on the wheels. My Nitro buggy would be awesome in the sand......:lol:

[HUMMER H4]

Or why dont u upgrade to mattracks??

Good question. Or I can use Tuperware.
:p

Or why dont u upgrade to mattracks??

That would defeat the whole scale look it has going on. I like tires.

[HUMMER H4]

I jus accidentally saw a awsome R/C Pajero like urs but it was blue with silver sides.

[AeroSynch]

Since Hurricane Fay is making it rain here like crazy, I went out tonight when it stopped raining and boy was it fun, but my Pajero is a mess, and I flipped it on the street trying to beat my younger brother and his New Bright. I won of course, but his NB just floated over the water! Wht!?!?! :rofl:
Sorry for the 2 fuzzy pictures without flash.

[HUMMER H4]

[AeroSynch]

Lol thanks. Yea, that Pajero is the same body I have, but that's where the similarities end. Mine has solid axles, the one on RPP Hobby is stock Tamiya with indy front suspension, etc.

[BulletsRain]

OMG....thats LEET. Looks cool at night. Its getting down and dirty. :lol: :lol:
Put some nice bright fog lights on it. :nod:
Did it get hurt when it flipped?...I hate it when my cars flip..
Whats a New Bright?

[HUMMER H4]

Ill probally lift it and get some new wheels for it also,do u have to build it??

[KITT222]

what the... did you wax that thing? it looks beautiful!!

[AeroSynch]

:lol: Thanks. I have fog lights, but they weren't on since they fell of last time.
It got chipped a little above the corner light.:(
A New Bright is a brand like Nikko, etc.

Duh. It comes as a kit, and you need the electronics, like radio, battery, etc.

what the... did you wax that thing? it looks beautiful!!

:lol: :lol:
Thanks. Actually, it is like that all the time, since it was painted with car paint. Cadillac Pearl White I think.

[BulletsRain]

I can see Mini Pajero there next to it....Big Pajero would have to help Mini Pajero through the deep water though....unless Mini Pajero had floaties on....:lol: :lol:
I found this RC Car I got along time ago....and I think it is a Pajero...with no back on it...I'm fixing it and charging the batteries to take it off roading tomorrow! Unless it has a low geared setting...which i don't think it does....I'm screwed!! To bad my Nikko Hummer's reverse is fried....it could pull it....

I was actually thinking about the Pajero on Rpphobby.com until I saw you need the servos, radio, and electronics...:cry: :nodno:

Is the Pajero you have a Tamiya?
The one on RPP is a great deal, but you can buy RTR ones for at most $250.

[BulletsRain]

Aero, you need a winch on it. That way when your brother's New Bright gets stuck, you can save him. Lol. :lol:
Oh and I don't see that fishing pole! :lol:

[stang_racer]

what happened to the fog lights you had on it the square ones??? got any pics for the floating new bright truck lol

[meme405]

Woah what gearing is that on the back, I saw one of these a little while back and it wasnt nearly as goofed up as yours...

In a good way of course...:bigwink:

[AeroSynch]

Yea, I need another servo for that. But I did think about it.

I didn't secure them well so they fell of, but I still have them. :lol:

You mean on the roof rack? Thanks. :lol:

[AeroSynch]

Went out again to the same place but I made a video. My little brother was there with his New Bright with a tapped Hummer body on it. It was pretty fun, until the end after going through the puddle, my Pajero died.

I think I fried the receiver, because it doesn't turn or drive. I tried to blow dry it, but then when I turn the wheel it accelerates? Any ideas? I hate to shell out $50 for a new Futaba R153 receiver.

[KITT222]

im thinking you might've broke something open when you hit your brothers truck, then the water just got it wet. anything look broken?

[Donziikid]

You might have just plugged in your JST plugs incorrectly. ESC goes to channel two and servo goes to channel one. That should clear up your problem unless it's something internal. ;)

Love the beat in your the song for that video! What's the name of the song and the artist?

Looks like the Pajero runs nicely, too. Good video. :nod:

[edit]
Nevermind. Rewatched the video to listen to the song and saw the name was in the credits. :blush:

[AeroSynch]

Nah, it worked fine after that.

Thank you. It is called Testarrossa Overdrive by Kavinsky.
I think that the receiver might have gotten wet, causing it to fry..:eyecraz:
Everything is plugged in right.

I wouldn't call it fried if you're still getting response.. Does the throttle turn the servo? If so, try switching channel one and channel two's JST plugs and see if that fixes the problem. :lol:

:lol:
No the servo doesn't turn with the throttle. I am going to try again tomorrow, but I did get a response. When I turn the truck on the servo glitches for a second like it has always, so that's fine.

[BulletsRain]

Oh no Pajero down Pajero down!!! Lol. :lol:
:o You ran it into the Hummer, and the scooter....:o I can't believe that! :lol:

That thing does have some speed on it though! Is that your backyard...I wish I had some sand in my backyard too...instead of just patches of dirt.

Hope you can find the problem and fix it easily. I mean...i though it was water proof. :lol:

[HUMMER H4]

Yes, Pajero down. :eyecraz:

[BulletsRain]

Grass and ducks....thats weird....i thought all backyards had grass and trees....:lol:

Did you fix it yet, and if so what was wrong?

[AeroSynch]

Water got inside the receiver, but I blow dryed it and it seems to work fine for now.

[HUMMER H4]

Well help u save it!!!,Please dont kill wittle MR.Pajero....:lol:

[BulletsRain]

Thats good. One day I'll have something that will bring some competition to the table........Muwhahahaha.....
