I dont know how i missed this video, this version (044) was my first rc in 1985. Back in those days ROAR had a Heavy Metal class where i raced mine against blackfoots, Big Bears and other trucks of the time. It eventually ended up with a 5th shock mod, hornet rear mount, lexan body, you-g fronts and a double a-arm front before i finally sold it and bought a buggy. I miss that little truck amd plan on buying the new version released this year.

Love the paint! Love the truck!

I've just managed to get hold of a great example of one of these. As you say, it will make a fine addition next to my original Wild Willy and Willy's Wheeler.

lucky to have such a nice street to drive your rc's on!

太好了又更新了，帕杰罗很喜欢

Wow great job...good painting !!!😉😉😉

Nice work👌

I had a Pajero in 85’ when I lived in Hong Kong....along with a Subaru Brat...my brother got a Hot Shot

Great job 👍👍👊👊📹📹

I always wanted one of these when I was a kid. I put one together out of parts in the middle of the 90's and then sold it on ebay in 2000. Just never really got into it. I never really got into the wheely poppin , just the wild willy. The Wild Willy never saw much use either. It's still with me and new 2000 wild willy.

😊👍That's a nice one!

I absolutely love driving mine, even though you're right, they handle TERRIBLY.... But like the Hornet etc that's the 80s nostalgia beauty of them. In saying that I'm particular about where i drive mine, hard sand and smooth walks.... Always get people ask about it and tell me about their Tamiya RCs, so it's got some cool value in that aspect....

I've got a Pajero with a heavily modified LB chassis, fully articulated rear transmission, 5th shock, oil shocks all round, centre mounted battery, torque tuned motor etc etc. It took an age to build and goes a lot better but it's still unstable 🙂

lol I need to do a photoshoot [lol] of my franken cw-01. Chassis ended up heavily modded to fit TBG's 1/16 Gravedigger body. CW-01 chassis, hopper bumper, hopper wheels/tyres, hopper rear dampers, custom hopper front dampers, 380, cheap radio gear, TBG body with fr/rr lighting.

Well....... That Blackfoot INTERIOR sure got my attention!!! 😵😱 I have always loved this Pajero! WHY I didn't buy one back in the day, I'll never know. IF the time ever comes when I can buy RCs again, this one is DEFINITELY on my short list! It certainly has horrible handling. BUT, it appears (on video anyway), that with the different Servo position, it seems like the "Baby CW-01" has *FAR less* Toe change when landing jumps!!! 😵😵 SAME wild Camber Shift, but very little To movement. It appears like the Toe Rods ACTUALLY line up with the Control Arms. A *Tamiya FIRST!!!* 👍👍 I mentioned it before, what a gorgeous Paint Job!! 👏👏👏👏 I MAY try to build one of those.... Maybe out of the CW-01 that I've been piecing together for the past year. Take the whole lower Chassis off, move the front Arms up to the *original* mounts (HOPEFULLY WITH the AmPro Engineering Double Wishbone setup!). And reinstall my AmPro Modified Rear Gearbox up to the original mount points (Having the Wheelbase off by about 8-10mm, by using the Hornet Axle Stays (or original Lunchbox)..... And the Montero Wheelie Body - OR the new Pro-Line (forgot the name) short Wheelbase Suzuki Lexan Body with Brat Wheels/Tires. If nothing else, it WILL be a conversation starter!!! 😎 It's a plan anyway... Carmine 🚂

Got the re-release body to put on a crawler, wheelbase is actually more like 1:12 scale, I think I might put it on a ECX Barrage or Losi MRC chassis.

Pjero means "masturbator" in spanish, so they called it montero in the us, spain and mexico

M'y first rc car.

For the oldies, I prefer front lights with warm LED. The cold one's, are too... modern ?

Just picked up one of these on eBay. I paid $300 but it’s new, has been partially built, and never. I’ve always wanted this one and finally pulled the trigger. I was going to install the vintage speed controller but prob just go for electronic

You had the option to put the (4) AA Receiver Battery pack in the nose (less wheelie) or towards the back for more wheelie action.

Great job. what brand of paint and is it clear coated?

Do you manufacture a “Part” that remedies the broken front body bracket on the front of the Pajero? Greg

That Monterey is a neat truck, what front shocks would u recommend for me as I'm doing a build like it but it's going to have a lunchbox body and it's the lunchbox chassis so shock mounts are higher ( kind of like a low rider lunchbox

Do the brat wheels fit a sand scorcher I really would like to fit a set on mine

Do you still buy new rc's? What was the last rc you bought?

TamiyaBlog reported a rerelease! With unpainted body, CVA dampers and Rock Block tires.

I wish I could find another one of these bodies, w/o buying the complete truck kit.

The reason you think you saw it badged as Pajero in the USA is because a group of people on 4x4wire.com purchased the nameplates and installed them. I never switched my badges but considered it.

I have one of the original chassis. Lacking the body and all the body parts though..sigh.. :/

11:00 doesn't take jump We are very different you and I.

It would be rad if someone replaced the wheel on the wheelie bar with some flint.

In UK SHOGUN

The original tyres are different than the brat tyres.

The "j" in pajero is not pronounced as an "h" . Pajero, not pahero. You are the first and only person I've ever heard someone pronounce pajero this way. I've even worked at a Mitsubishi dealership where we actually had engineers from Japan help train us on the Evo cars. Even they did not pronounce it pahero. We had Pajero 2 door and Montero 4 door models. The Pajero rights were sold to Suzuki and rebadged Samurai and 4door models rebedged Sidekick. Suzuki in the U.S. were like Saturn is to G.M. Nice, in-depth video. But I just thought I'd let you know about the name.

Pajero is pronounced /pɑ'xɛ.ɹoʊ/ ; the j is like the "ch" in loch.... at least where im from ... n-europe ... anyways.... I think this body ages xtremely well ... love it
