I spent all week building this one, and today I took it for its first ride in the nice sunny weather.

The car will be customized in the future, but it takes time to make and get hold of the bits and parts I need, so I will post new pics of that when the bits and pieces are added. I put much attention to details when I built this one, and I'm pretty happy with the result. I still need some practice with painting details, but think I did it ok on my first attempt.

As everybody says, this chassis is great fun to build and drive. I'm amazed how well it handles rough tracks and how much it looks like a real car while doing that.

Hope you like my Pajero as much as I do. All comments are welcome!

@df4x4: I have only locked the rear differential. It did have some problems some places, but I believe that's my driving skills to blame

@Dave: It's not so hard to paint this body actually, it just takes time with all the details.

If you locked the front differentials too and you use the trail docter tires then you got the perfect climb and crawl combination. if you go for an truckpuller 7.2 motor then you have a long runtime.

Super detail work and a great looking rig, its the little details like painting lights and bolts etc that make the whole truck look so good, noce work!

Thanks Daniel, I chose to only spray one layer of clear coat as I don't want it to be too shiny.

definately, really glossy paint jobs look nice but take away some of the scale feel. These are really cool photos!
