Project "WTF"
 

Now that the new shop is set up it is time for a new build. I haven't even touched an R/C since the Scale nats in Montana last year, so I have been dying to start something new.

And no its not a Chevy :shock:



Watching Extreme 4x4 on spike has known to spawn an idea or two in my head (the truggy I built was inspired by the green S10 Ian built)
I have been a big fan of the Sami he built, and although its not a Sami, It is the inspiration for the start of this build.

Starting with a fresh Pajero body I picked up from Kaetwo.

Next came the masking tape, I couldn't possibly be painting already could I?

Here we go...

Then I borrowed the truggy for a minute to get an idea if I just waisted a new body or not...

I'm not sure exactly what i'm doing for running gear yet, I had originally thought that Axial axles would be to wide, but with the narrowed hexes It doesnt look that bad IMO.

the truggy is currently at a 10.5 wb, I probably will build this truck at 11 even.

I have a SCX-10 as well as a bunch of RC4wd parts on the way from RPP as we speak, I'll make the decision of what exactly I am going to do when it gets here..

there is an r2 and a transfer case that might make its way in this build coming too...

I have a few chassis options as well....

I think it looks perfect sitting on the truggy frame! Either way, whatever you come up with, this is going to be a really cool build. "thumbsup"

Sweet, looking forward to this one for sure! Width suprisingly looks spot on for a trail rig.

Got started on filling the sunroof and antenna holes..

Between this build and pantablos I am kind of glad I didnt start my pajero yet, I will be watching and taking notes "thumbsup"

You too?

Pajeros are taking over the world! :ror:

I don't like it.



























Actually I do! :flipoff:

:lol: Yeah I started building mine, then tore it all back apart and stole the axles for the 1.9 fo runna. I have a NIB body and a TSS chassis that is perfect for these and the Heep bodies "thumbsup"I just need more TLT axles and more time...money...etc :lol:

your always picking on me :cry:




:flipoff:

I was going to crack open one of the 4 nib kits I have been hanging on to for dear life, but I may go Axial instead...

we'll see how it pans out tomorrow...

I did see that RCmart had some TLT axles listed on ebay for a fair price the other day"thumbsup"

more money and time is what we all need8)

exesive I built a 1:1 montero 2 door than had 60/14 on 42 tsls 307/400/208 it looked alot like what your going after..

I like it alot, great start"thumbsup""thumbsup"

This is gonna be good.

Cory, pass the popcorn.

Wow never thought I'd see the day that you would build something OTHER than a Chevy! What is this world coming to?!




... Great looking build so far! Damn, makes me want to get a Pajero now.

I can make believe it has this under the hood and I can still sleep at night :lol:

that looks awesome! you KNOW I love it, lol...anytime someone cuts up a body is a good thing in my book, lol.

Its amazing how a little (or a lot) of bodywork changes the attitude of the little 'jero...grrrr.

;-)

we'll see you in montana...


[edit: save the back scrap. it'll make a nice addition to a longbed pajero pickup build, lol]

That is a Yota motor right? Or is it an Ecotech out of a Cobalt? The build is looking like a good start! I hope you tube them fenders like the Zuk from the show. "thumbsup"8)

Clean lines dude. Geez.....wonder what I should build next? Stu does that popcorn have butter on it?

Extra butts if it's mine.

Yeah that's a supercharged Ecotec, and I do plan on having tube fenders, I haven't decided on an exo, or internal cage yet though..

id go with that UTE chassis or what ever it is in the middle. this thing already looks badass on the truggy"thumbsup"

you always tend to amaze me with your og chevy builds.

cant wait to see what you do with this one"thumbsup"
