It’s taken a little longer than I wanted to get a video out this week, I hadn’t even planned for it to be this one as such, things change though. With a gap in the weather we made a break for it and took the finished Tamiya Pajero 2023 for a slide around in the mud , which was fun. I hope you’ll join me in checking it out. :)

Way to go Andy!! Another great-looking build!! After seeing this, I want a Pajero, too!!
Awesome video Andy and greetings from Hollister, California. My local hobby store had three of them. I bought ALL three of them lol 😂. They were priced under $100 and I thought this was odd. The Pajero is indeed quirky but cool at the same time. The Midnight Pumpkin and Unimog 406sells for $189 (U.S. dollar) and the Lunch Box sells for $159 and the Pajero was $98…….. CW-01 chassis with the added plus of CVA oil dampers and ESC. The Dampers separately (ITEM# 50520
RC CVA SHORT SHOCK UNIT SET II) are $28 retail alone and that’s for two shocks and you need two. The HobbyWing THW 1060 Brushed Motor ESC (most current USA Tamiya r/c kits have this ESC) retails for $30. Knowing this was a no-brainer to buy all three of the Pajero kits. Now I have the parts I need to rebuild my Lunch Box plus oil dampers and new ESC lol.
Love the detail on that hard body. The first scratch always gets to me. After that, i just enjoyed the model
Me too! That first scratch, no matter how small, always breaks my heart! It doesn't matter how long I live, seeing one of my own RC vehicles getting scratched or damaged, especially the ones I've built myself, will always be a painful experience.
You did an excellent job on that it looks really cool have lots of fun with my friend
Cheers Phil thanks :) It turned out alright in the end maybe do some more to it yet and hoping to do the front conversion
Nice detailing on the body, the little things really bring it mire realism. 👍🏻
Thank you Damien, yes your right , devils in the detail. ;) cheers mate
Great stuff Andy and another quirky little truck from Tamiya! Looks like a ton of fun, you did a great job on the detailing, fella! Take care mate! 😎😎👍👍
Hey hey , hope your well Mark? As you know cw01’s are great fun , this one’s a bit more tippy than a lunchbox but still loads of fun, it’s only when you clip on the body that it becomes more unstable. Cheers fella take care
Andy your videos are just amazing!! Keep up the great work sir and keep that content flowing - more more more more videos pls!!
Hi Paul cheers fella :) I’ll do my best to keep up the videos, getting harder just at the minute but we’ll get there , cheers for all the support
Interesting to know it’s a hard body and pre painted. I didn’t actually realize that. So good to know! I like the tires but I think their size will lend it to rolling a lot more.
Hiya fella hope your well. Yep much like the original pajero it’s a hard body , indhh I don’t realise it was pre painted either just though it would come white. It does roll and the tyres don’t help, but on loose or soft ground it’s good fun
Absolutely love this thing! So tamiya in every way! Super cool definitely getting one soon hopefully!
Andy l haven't heard back from you about the motors buddy?
Great vid mate. The red body looks good enough not painted for me too!
Love it!
You’ll love this one James :) glad you like it such a fun model on a tried and tested platform, apologies re the motors, I’ll make sure I reply to you :)
I was going to get the lunchbox size white wheels for this but it’s actually growing on me with the smaller wheels
I love it Martin, it’s probably a little more prone to tipping with those wheels on but it’s still good fun
Thanks for ahosing Andy. I like that thy put oil filled shocks into the kit. For a better wheelie ability you'll need bigger wheels on the car. But all in all s great car.
Thank you :) yes I agree, was very pleased Tamiya included the oil shocks in the kit. It does wheelie easily just not as well when on soft muddy ground . Glad you like it , take care
That is one odd rc truck. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Joe it is indeed a little on the odd side, I like that though ;) cheers
Great video Andy! Thanks for the shoutout too 😂 that was a pleasant surprise!
My pleasure, your version of the Pajero is awesome though. Thanks for watching :)
What are you looking 👀 at, was something distracting you 😮 niiiiiiiiiice video 😊
Ha ha I was looking out the corner of my eye wondering weather the dog was gonna go for the car 😂
Nice work on the body Andy. Looks like a fun Tamiya 🙌🏻
Aw cheers Craig much appreciated :) hope your well. It’s good fun indeed snd great if you like tones cw01 chassis
Hey nice one Andy. Looks really nice and a bit of a change from the Lunchbox. Tamiya used to sell something very similar with Ford Ranger wheels although it was a bit lower slung, kit 58044. Nice to see this new version 👍👍
Hi Pete , I probably would have done a lunchbox if the pajero hadn’t been released, as I’d not built that chassis for well over 10 years. Kit58044 was the Mitsubishi pajero in a rally style body with the ranger/brat type wheels n tyres also you could only mount a 6v hard pack at the top, back if the chassis. Cheers again :)
Looks pretty good, perhaps take a look at trying too fit these wheels onto the Tamiya Subaru Brat if it's possible too mount on there.
Maybe with minor modification like mounting on the blackfoot or monster beetle front knuckles would allow it on that chassis.
Love it Andy, i think this would be great to blast about on a beach 👍
Cheers Richard , I agree it’s more of a soft ground sort of vehicle ;) they are good cheap fun that’s puts a smile on your face
Interesting to see it comes with a wheelie bar as there wasnt one shown in the running photage, publicity shots and showroom floor vids published officially.
When i ordered mine i stripped down and started rebuilding another cw01 to leave out the lift parts, intending to go for the look and feel of the original Pajero from back in the day, will use the chassi that comes in the Pajero kit to make another stock cw01 with lunchbox/pumpkin 2-in-1 mounts to replace the one i ripped apart.
I never even thought about it not coming with a wheelie bar I just presumed it did with it being a cw01 chassis , mind you before this I’ve only had lunchbox and pumpkins
Nice one Andy! I’m really liking this one!👍😊
Thanks Jeremy, it’s quirky and cool love it
I like the truck a lot, not sold on those tires at all. I did not even thing of them being able to be used on the hoppers though so that makes it a bit more interesting! It will be months before I see any in stock here though so I have time! I enjoyed hearing your assistant camera crew there in the video! LOL! Take care Andy and you may have changed my mind on getting this one!
Hey Addam cheers for watching , the body is really cool and I’m a Landy fan ;) the wheels are odd but I like em and they are an alternative frog/hopper wheel, that’s a bonus! That’s the first time he’s made a noise on camera 😆 it’s that or don’t film at the moment. Be good to see what you do with it if you pull the trigger ;) take care
@@andyrobinsonrc2480 I think we can all relate to dealing with the little ones and it was a cute little touch to the video!
Looks wheelie good Andy. Does the body have light buckets front and rear for LEDs?
Hiya Dave hope your well chap. I don’t think it has LED light buckets but I will double check and let you know , I did t take much notice at the time ;)
sweet pajero, mice video👍
I bought one of these trucks for my son for Christmas. Thoughts?
Hello hope your well. I think your son will enjoy it. It’s fun to drive and it’s very much like a lunchbox , maybe slightly less stable but still good fun , I’ve liked mine so far
Looks great fun Andy goes well to 😊👍👍Pete
Cheers Pete , they are good fun to run much better on soft ground though
Nice one, well done 😊
Cheers much appreciated, thanks for watching :)
Beautiful car, great review and filming! Thank you for your effort. I really like this quirky looking variant of this car. I have the big wheeled CW-01 white Montero, so I will probably pass on this one. You can see a running video of it on my channel. But I am eager to get Squish Van. Cheers.
Thank you , glad you enjoyed it, credit goes to my wife for the footage. Cool I’ll check your channel out when I can. I can’t wait to get the squash van as well , looks great just got a terrible name ;)
The Squash Van is a great truck. I'm not crazy about the name, but I love the styling and how it handles, and it will drive much better with oil-filled shocks.
WHOOT!
Cheers ;)
Would this be suitable for an 8 year old?
It’s big and chunky and will take a lot of knocks, the plus side is everything is replaceable or can be fixed. Maybe look at the Tamiya lunchbox or pumpkin , it’s the same chassis as the pajero but comes with bigger chunkier tyres. Hope that helps. Alternatively look at a Tamiya Grasshopper
Hard body! Hmmmm thats interesting
Yep indeedy, just like the original pajero or montero only difference is it’s in red
