It’s an interference fit pinion , if you like then put a tiny bit of rod loctite on new motor shaft and tap the new pinion on being sure not to knock on too far and to leave the same gap as like in original motor

Yes it does . put the old motor in a vice to make life easier for you with pinion sticking up in and clamping against motor body . use two flat bladed screw drivers inserted under the pinion , then prise each side evenly both the same time and it will lift straight off .

Upgrade the motor to a tamiya high torque one .

Lol it does look amazing though

Have you got a dead cat in that glass box lol only kidding it looks Awsome

It’s drivers preference . my first RC car which was built for me in 1982 was a Sand Scorcher and you pulled the stick back to go forward . theres no way now I could drive them any other way lol and would never want to change it . i drive full size autos now and then and it’s the same with gears lever push forward for reverse . which ever way comes natural go with that as no right or wrong . i fly Rc helicopters and one of our members learnt with all his sticks going the opposite way except for throttle . in his head it’s correct and he’s a good flier lol where we always take off nose away from you , he takes off nose in lol

Quality lucky to find that in ur gearbox casing

Yes I Reakon he stole this buggy lol

It’s Mot exempt lol so fine

Another one finished with big help on the body from Rastafarian Jean as he definitely one of the Patina pros :-)

Thankyou every one

Wow amazing love the little house too !! it looks full size

Yes same here I just received the Pajero . this man looks after his stuff !! great quality build too . very impressed great seller thanks Steven

Yes it’s got this apeal which I feel not even the Hilux has which I have in box art style also . and yes I’m very pleased with it , will prob paint the lettering on tyres soon to give it abit more wow

Yes I’m pleased , I rebuilt a blazer years ago and sold it but fair play on the second go of doing one I tried my best . not sure yet if to paint the lettering on the tyres

Finally finished her , she’s been painted in metallic black 2 pack paint and Laquer . hard to see in pics but paint job is amazing how it came out . I stripped the chassis down to every nut and bolt and painted / cleaned and rebuilt . decided to spray the chassis rails Matt black as felt it’s more realistic as who has a chrome chassis lol . I fitted a tamiya high torque motor and ESC . running old style 4000 mah battery but with an extra matching Sanyo cell to make it 7.2v instead of 6v , not sure why tamiya didn’t make two versions of this battery as they fitted a carboard tube in place of where a 6 cell would go . Blazer is set up on Futaba 2.4 . I carefully test driven it around the house and gears are very small and it drives well . It may be driven once a year out the garden on a nice day :-)

Like the sound of dark metallic grey but not the burgundy

Was gonner go in metallic brown like the Fall guys old truck if your older enough to remember . plus thought about black with the chrome

Yes I normally love box art but I’ve got an old 3 speed Hilux in box art and it would just be the same red . so decided against

They look better in real life I’m no photographer lol i have ordered some more realistic tyres also as I feel these are toy looking and not life like

Love these arches think they should be a Tamiya upgrade
