Thanks James. Hoping to have it done soon, it's taken too long already. Should look OK when it's done, although there won't be much vintage gear left in it 😂. Thanks mate, I think the lettering always make them look that much better. 👍
Turned out nice , the way you fabricated the plastic to fix a reinforce the chassis was impressive. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Good job Mick .
Thanks Eric. With some luck it won't break on it's first run 🤞. Pretty keen to see it finished myself, hopefully the stickers will be here soon. Cheers mate! 👍
Yeessh Mick, you took your time getting to her. Ive been waiting for you to tackle this one. Nice job of replacing the missing plastic. Thanks for sharing.
Haha sorry for the hold up, Jacen. I was holding off for the stickers to come but it doesn't look like they'll be here for a while, so figured I'd just put the chassis up. Cheers! 👍
Hey Mick the RC elf gave me a super hot shot with all the fixings and then on top of that he gave me a fighting buggy without the fixings and I couldn't be happier to take me awhile to get the stuff I need for the fighting buggy, thanks for introducing me to him I'm hoping I can help him out find other people like you did for me like to keep in touch give me some emails and occasionally okay.
G'day Brad! That's awesome. I actually saw your Super Hotshot unboxing on Tank RC, that's gonna fly with that motor! I thought about your motor shaft issue too, maybe you can use a motor spacer and longer screws instead of cutting the shaft or drilling the gearbox. Just a though.. The Fighting Buggy will be a really nice build, you're gonna love that one. No probs at all mate, I'm glad you were able to get a couple of kits. The RC Elf is a great guy and has helped a lot of people, huge thumbs up to him! 👍 Have fun with your builds, I'll keep an eye out for videos. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed a mick he sending me six more cars two of them I already have and I'm going to give that to a friend of mine he's giving me supposedly a terror scorcher Blackfoot holiday buggy I forgot the other one all of a sudden there is a sixth one he's giving me two grasshoppers one grasshopper two black edition which I have and I have an original grasshopper those are going to my friend a black edition lunch box wish you were here in my country and in my state so you could paint my cars. Lol
Whoa, nice! You'll be building till this time next year lol. It's great that giving your friend a car or two as well. That's awesome mate, the RC Elf is a legend! Yeah if I lived closer I'd be happy to run the paint roller over them for ya 😂 Enjoy your builds, Brad! 👍
@@RCHobbyShed thanks Mick yeah the two of the cars I have a grasshopper and grasshopper 2 Black edition I'm giving those to him because I have those I'm still building my black edition.
I agree mate. At least this way it still gets to keep it's original chassis, which is unique to this car. The Montero chassis is different, so I really didn't want to use it.
Nice job again Mick, this will look great. The wheels look good with the lettering . I have to learn how to do this . I've been taping up the sand scorcher body , what a headache . Was just going to be a white herbie but it's too nice not to do the box art. I'm sure I knew a kid who had one these pajeros, so long ago and can't remember. Looks like a fun beast. I better not use the 3.5 turn in the VQS . Don't want to blow the diffs , got a 10.5 turn coming. I heard he diffs in the Dark impact are weak so I'll find something mild for that to. Nice work mate, have a good one.
Thanks mate. The tyre letting is quite easy. I use a UNI paint pen, PX21 (1.2mm) for tyres like this and PX203 (0.8mm) for tyres with fine print. Oh yeah, those Sand Scorcher paint jobs can be time consuming. I agree, you just gotta go box art on the Scorcher... Unless you have more than one of course 😉😂. I think the VQS will be great running the 10.5, yeah I think a 3.5 might be asking for trouble. I think maybe a 12.5 or so in the Dark Impact would be good. Thanks mate, you too! 👍
Actually scrap that last comment (made too early in my watching of the video) the work you did on the chassis is good stuff, and you kept the original going…..good job.
Haha, I thought so. All good mate, I'm glad you liked what I did with it. I've used a lot of Grasshopper and Montero parts on this one, so I just had to keep one part semi original. 🙂👍
Nice restoration Mick👌Going to look spot on when finished, looking forward seeing to the run video. Tread pattern on the new tyres looks like the real thing and as usual that Tyre Writing!🎖️ Those shockies look quite sexualising 😁👍🦘🇦🇺
Thanks mate. Hope so, should be fun running it. I probably won't go too hard on it though, I have a couple of Monteros for that! 😁 The tyres do look great, I wish I was able to buy those aftermarket ones it came with. The name I couldn't remember was Reely, that was the brand. Really beefy looking tyres. The lettering on these tyres probably isn't my best, my pen was running out lol. Haha yeah, gotta love sexual looking shocks. 😂👍
@@RCHobbyShed Definitely a reely beafy looking set of tyres alright 😁 I didn't even know that sexualising was a word until it appeared in my auto correct thingy😂 See... We always learn something new when you make a new video🤓.
@@outbackrcaustralia4895 Oh yeah, I Reely wish I could find those tyres since they're so sexualizing 😁 Lol I'm learning as I go too. If my skool teechers could see me now! 😂👍
Not only a great job of restoration - with a PAIL of JB Weld (!!!!), but you've inspired me to try to sorta relive me third RC, bought in 1985... I've always considered attempting that Chazzie - by using a Lunchie Tub and Grasshopper bits around it. Besides that funky front Body Mount, this IS now a possibility!! 😁 I SUPPOSE (because an original Body is practically impossible), maybe a Jimny or VW Type 2 Bus Body in Lexan - and like you, Brat Wheels and Tyres! Your thoughts?? Obviously yours is more of a serious restoration, and mine would be a whimsical look back to when I wasn't so old and ugly... But thanks to this Video, it seems like an actual idea! 😊 THANKS!!
Thanks mate. Lol pail of JB Weld 🤣. Yeah that will work. You will need to use Grasshopper rear suspension parts if you want it like the original. Otherwise you may not be able to have the battery in the tray at the top since the Lunch Box/ Pumpkin shock shafts will hit the battery. The front is a little different too, you but I think you'll be able to leave the front (Lunch Box) shock bodies off it though and maybe use a spacer above the spring... I'm sure you'll work it out. 👍 Tonys Tamiya LTD in the UK have the Montero body in their eBay store, it's the same as the Pajero body. So you should be able to put one together to relive your young and pretty youth 😂. Glad you got some ideas from the video, now go for it! Cheers mate. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed I've purchased quite a few things from Tony's. Surprisingly fast Shipping to the U.S. 👍👍 I was thinking Oil Shocks anyway, so LONG Screws poking up wouldn't be a problem. This might be a naff little Truck, but there's still that Cool Factor and invaluable Nostalgia, that only Tamiya can give. NOW... If they'll just rere the Madcap and King Blackfoot!! 😳😁😁😁
The Pajero chassis is unique to the Pajero although they are very similar. A few differences are the steering servo position, front suspension mounts are sunken on the Pajero, no body mount at the front of the chassis on the Lunch Box/Pumpkin chassis, Pajero has no holes in the rear battery tray for shock shafts.. and so on. 👍
Thanks Scotty. Usually just from eBay. In this case I was luck enough to have a lot of left over Grasshopper parts. For the parts I did have to buy, I got them from Tonys Tamiya LTD. They're on eBay and based in the UK. Shipping is always fast, even to me here in Australia. 👍
@@scottyc4537 No probs mate. I've been using Tonys for a few years now. He always seems to be able to get parts to me quicker than I can get them here in Australia. Usually free postage too! Can't go wrong. 👍
Great job Mick you have given this old school classic a 2nd chance at life! Will look awesome when finished and tyre lettering makes it really pop!😉👍
Thanks James. Hoping to have it done soon, it's taken too long already. Should look OK when it's done, although there won't be much vintage gear left in it 😂. Thanks mate, I think the lettering always make them look that much better. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed Yeah going to look great Mick! Love this tamiya its full of character!👍
Thanks mate. I agree, it is! 👍
My first ever RC back in the 80s, so many memories back in the UK (now living in Sydney
Bought from Beaties Lewisham !!!

You made it look easy with the chassis repairs! Looking great 👍🏻
Thanks Owen! Wish I could have found a new chassis for it, one without a huge price tag but it wasn't to be... So I had to break out the JB Weld! 😁👍
@@RCHobbyShed You’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do 😅… so many cars have been glued and kept alive this way, I think it adds character 👌🏻

Another great episode, good advice and tips as always, Carnage!!! 😂

Thanks mate! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Always great feedback. 🙂👍
nice Restoration
Thanks mate! 👍
nice kit and great overview brother
Thanks mate! 🙂👍
Good idea keeping the battery weight forward. One over enthusiastic wheelie and goodbye 👋 paint job and mci decals you patiently waited for 😭

Couldn’t you modify a CW-01 (lunch/pumpkin) tub I don’t think they are exactly the same, but close enough I would think
Yeah I could have, but I'd really just end up with a Montero. 😁👍
