Tamiya Pajero Chassis Build

[@JoevsRc]

Nice clean build. Those tires make it an odd looking truck lol

[@AddamsPlayground]

I enjoy building these CW01 chassis kits. Nice and relaxing to build! I know they were going for more of the original look from the first release but it looks odd with the much bigger chassis now. I will give it try stock but I am pretty sure the bigger wheels and tires are going on there and staying on there in the end!

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Most worst awfullist tires ever lol thay was great nice build Addam

[@AddamsPlayground]

As you can tell, I am not a fan of them! They are not bad looking tires, they just need to add some rubber into the formula to make them tire-like feeling. They will make some nice course markers or something!

[@herbieRCpaints53]

Hello Addam , It's a nice fun chassis to build , Look forward to seeing the body finished 😀👍👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

Me too! I did not realize it was going to be so much detail painting on there, I have gotten spoiled with all the lexan body and sticker packs! Hopefully I can get it knocked out this weekend!

[@rcinhand9671]

It's looking good, Addam! Yes, there is a lot of painting needed for the body!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks! Yeah, I am not sure what I was thinking! I guess I have gotten spoiled with the lexan and stickers lately, it has been a little while since I have done a hard shell. I hope to get it knocked out this weekend.

[@chef11chef11]

I'm looking forward to the finished body. All the extra hand painting is really going to pay off. Have a good weekend.

[@AddamsPlayground]

I hope so, It is starting to look good, Kind of wished I had sprayed the black on maybe but it is too late now! It will look great from a foot or two away so that is all i can ask for! Take care and have a great weekend!

[@rocpile]

The time invested in the body is certainly going to pay off, I am looking forward to seeing it. Great chassis build, thanks Addam!

[@AddamsPlayground]

I think it will look really cool all detailed up! I did not get much of a chance to work on it today, the other video exploded and I have been responding to comments there all day! LOL! I will get it done though, I am eager to see it all done up!

[@reitplace4765]

Cool got my lunch box out and will be running that tommorow.. Them tires shoulda gone on the squash van lower profile... Thanks for sharing bud...

[@AddamsPlayground]

Awesome, looking forward to seeing the lunch box! These tires should have bin put in the recycle bin before they left the factory! I have had softer and nicer tires on $40 toy store cars! LOL! I am not a fan of them at all...

This one is looking great Addam!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Ryan, that Italian red is a nice and glassy color! I hope to get the rest of the painting done tomorrow. I want to see it done!

[@outbackrcaustralia4895]

G'day there Addam😀. Great looking build mate👍, I had no idea it's 2wd until your video. Tyre look good from here but it's a shame they're too hard, bet you come up with something good to replace them mate. Paint looks nice n shiny👌. We hope you're having a nice weekend Addam and thanks for your video mate 🙋‍♀️🤠🦘🇦🇺

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks! It does kind of look like it should be 4wd on the box. It should look great one all painted up, I am hoping to get that all taken care of this weekend! Those tires are more for decoration then traction and do nothing to help out with the ride at all! I am sure once it is all done it will be pretty cool looking and fun to drive! Take care guys and have a wonderful weekend!

Hey Addam, love the Pajero, agree on tyres and look forward to the run

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Pez! It should look pretty cool once it is done. Those tires are the hardest ones they make, why they make them is beyond me! They would make trailer tires, the sidewalls are plenty stiff enough for hauling! LOL!!!

[@CactusCrawlersRC]

Looking good Addam! Can't wait to see it all done up and painted!

[@AddamsPlayground]

I got some painting done on it but it was a busy and strange weekend here so not much RC stuff got done. I think it will look pretty good all painted and possibly up on the bigger monster truck tires!

[@CactusCrawlersRC]

@@AddamsPlayground definitely tires!

[@lo2713]

Love the shine it has 😎 look forward to seeing it on the track 👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

It is a nice color out of the box, just a bit blah and blotchy. A few coats of that Italian Red really brightened it up and it is very glossy! I hope to get the detail paint done this weekend. It is either going to be lots of time spent masking and spraying or a lot of time brush painting. I think the brushes may be faster and less cleanup afterwards!

[@lo2713]

@@AddamsPlayground yeah, deffo looks like the brushes will speed it up ?

[@kanenstuff]

The Pajero is a classic there great and very common to see the real ones driving around in Australia.

[@AddamsPlayground]

Yeah they are not as common here, we have the Montero. It is not built as tough as the one over there! Yours are built to handle rough roads and tough spots, are made for soccer moms to take kids to games and to drive-through coffee shops so they don't last as long nor anywhere near as capable!

[@kanenstuff]

@AddamsPlayground ha that doesn't sound good the best is our Toyota Hilux or Land Cruiser these are the best. Love to see Tamiya build them as there a JDM vehicle and like the GTR we have had them since day one over 30yrs.

[@AddamsPlayground]

@@kanenstuff I know the Hilux has been a truck of choice over there for decades and I can understand why. You almost have to intend on killing one to ruin it!

[@kanenstuff]

@AddamsPlayground yeah she is a beast for sure they just made a new/old version not not sure how tuff it is but has good reviews enjoy your day 👍

[@RCBirds]

Great build Addam. I like that the LB Fraction now has mor parts for customizing. Maybe this hard setup's not the best, but for onroad it should fit. Looking forward for your running video. Have a great weekend my friend.

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Dirk! I enjoy building these CW01s, I have done a bunch and still enjoy every one of them. I think just because it is simple but tough and I can relax and enjoy watching it go together instead of focusing to no mess up anything like on e new kits. For the street driving these tires would be great, they would never wear out and probably not get enough traction to flip it over! I doubt mine sees any on-road action so I am pretty sure the big ones will end up on there! I will give it a fair run with the small ones to try it and see if I like it. Take care and have a great weekend as well!

[@adrianharrison5208]

The CW-01 is my go to chassis to relax with after a hard day at work, definitely one of my favorite Tamiya chassis. I have been thinking about buying this kit for the collection so can't wait to see it running. I am with you on the Oil shocks, it's the first thing I build now when starting a kit, then I just leave them sitting for a day or two and let all the air bubbles out. Makes for a better shock absorber

[@MauzyrockRC]

Nice looking CW01! Looking forward to some running vids of this one with those odd sized tires :)

[@AddamsPlayground]

I am going to give it a go with the stock ones and see how it does. I am pretty sure it will bee the big ones going on there eventually though.

[@JF-RC]

Hey Addam, another great video, just love it when you have a little rant 😊😂😊 tyres tut! Still that TS8 Italian red, looks bellissimo😊 looking forward to seeing your detail work on that nice body. Best wishes to you and the family 😊

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks John! Those tries are mainly for decoration, I can imagine they do well on any surface! They are just as awful as the ones that come on the Aqroshot stock. Hard as a rock and plastic feeling. At least the Aqroshot ones are much bigger so you might get a little more traction out of them! LOL! They are not bad looking tires (neither of them) but are just a terrible material for tires. I will give it a fair trial and see how it goes but I am fairly confident the lunch box tires will end up on it! I will be working on the body this weekend and will try and get it all done very soon! Take care john!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Nicely done, Addam! Yep, looks like this truck is gonna bounce more than a Lunchie! That red paint really pops, too. Maybe POSCA paint pens might make an easier job of the detailing? Not sure, I just got some to eventually do my Brat hard body with. We'll see how that goes! Look forward to see where you end up with this rig. Cheers dude! 😎👌👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Mark, I really enjoy building these CW01 kits, nice and relaxing! The paint looks nice and the detail painting will take some time. All the areas you have to paint are at 90 degree angle to something else so I did think of paint pens but it is going to be hard to get into the small areas up to the red paint. Just some patience with the brushes I believe! Take care and I hope to get this all painted this weekend!

[@markconnor269]

Another great video Addam 👌 looks great mate

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Mark! I hope to get the body painted this weekend. I forgot how much detail work goes into the hardbody ones, it has been too long!

[@jerryaugustine1329]

Tires are good on the asphalt. More all-terrain and longer wearing.

[@AddamsPlayground]

I doubt if you could ever wear them out! I am sure they will do ok, but the compound on them is as close to plastic as they could get. I got the same ones on my CC02 Bronco and gave them away, way too hard for a trail truck like that. I'll give them a fair chance on it.

[@rcicons4915]

Awesome build Addam

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Keith! I love building the CW01 chassis, it is nice and relaxing!!! It should look pretty cool once it is all done!

[@EMPTYPOCKETSRC]

Looks great. I kinda like the small tires, to bad they are so hard.

[@AddamsPlayground]

The tires themselves look decent, just hard as a stale bagel. The look may grow on me more once it is all done but I have a feeling it is going to be a lack luster run with them on there. I will give them a fair chance though but I have the others waiting!

[@HaydadRC]

Nice one Addam! I didn’t realize this came with oil shocks! I still kinda like the look of the tires although being that hard of compound is disappointing. All that hand painting that’s needed will probably steer me clear of this one though. Nice work!👍😊

[@AddamsPlayground]

Yeah, not very often you are going to get the oil shocks with a CW01 chassis! Funnily enough it is like $8 more then the Lunch Box is so you are really getting them for free. I was surprised they did not crank the price up for including them. These tires are super hard compound and have no vie to them at all. Anything softer and it would have been better. They are not bad looking tires, just more for decoration than functional use though. They would be great one pavement, most likely never wear out! I was not thinking about all the painting when I started it, then I looked at the manual for the color and there is a lot to do on it. I have gotten spoiled by one color lexan paint jobs and sticker for all the details! It has been too long since I have done a hard body! Have a good weekend Jeremy!

[@HaydadRC]

@@AddamsPlayground you too buddy!

[@powersmodelgarage]

It’s a good looking one. I actually like the look of those wheels. The tires sure are hard though. It’s going to be an interesting run for sure. Maybe they will soften a bit with break-in

[@AddamsPlayground]

I started getting paint on the body and it is coming to life! It should look cool all done up. Still not sold on the wheel and tires, they look fine by themselves, just out of place to me on the truck. I will give them a run and a chance but i do have the big ones on standby! Those hard tires are mostly for decorations, I can't see them serving any other purpose well! LOL!

[@poorboysrc]

Great video, buddy! Isn't it funny how these ABS bodies can take so long to paint? By the time you're done with all the details, you can spend twice the time on the body v.s. building the chassis. Lol! Personally, I'm liking the smaller tires, I think they look sweet, even though they're rock hard! Lol! And isn't it funny that Tamiya gives us CVA's in this kit, but never in the Lunchy or MP? Too funny...

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Fil! Yeah it has been a minute since I have done one and forgot how much time it takes to paint all the details. It is kind of like the Wild Willy 2 where the chassis is done in hours and the body takes days! I did not get a chance to work on it today but I should be able to tomorrow. I will give it a fair chance with the stock tires and wheels but I have the other ones ready to go... I did think it was odd they gave you CVAs in this kit and it was less than $10 more expensive than the Lunch Box is. Personally I prefer my Lunchies with the stock bobbly and wobbly suspension. I put CVAs on the fun runner and it lost a little bit of its charm and character. It is a bit more stable and less prone to flipping so that is a plus!

[@gillchannel815]

Looks great awesome to watch

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thanks Michael! I love build the CW01 chassis, it is a nice and relaxing and simple one. I can put on some tunes and just zone out for a bit and next thing you know a chassis has been built!

@@AddamsPlayground yesir I hope to try to build one in a month with B,day money

[@rcuintheshed6981]

Outstanding work again Addam it will look amazing with lunch box tyre's, I'm assuming you'd only place the battery in the rear up top like that to help it wheelie another great build mate looks fantastic 👊

[@AddamsPlayground]

The battery compartment is a carry over from the original Pajero release. It was very similar to the CW01 chassis tub without the additional second layer under it so the back tray is where you placed the battery. They made it fit their old hump-pack batteries. It was a slick way of doing it. Now on the actual CW01 chassis there is the lower section added on where the battery goes but they kept the body the same. I am pretty sure the bigger tires will end up on it, I will give the stock ones a fair trial though. So far it is not looking good for them though! LOL!

[@rcuintheshed6981]

🤣definitely not judging by your first impressions.... I thought the cw, cr chassis code on these models was what the chassis was designed for like cw was for the wheelie model and cr was rock crawling and ct was the trail model

[@AddamsPlayground]

@@rcuintheshed6981 I have never put any thought into the Name codes for the chassis... Most of them make little sense, I just refer to them as what they are known as... never really thought to see why some had wonky codes and some are just named for the vehicle they came on.... It is convoluted for sure!

I Really do need a CW01 in my life, never had/built/driven one.............yet!!

Oh Glenn, you do need to get one! They are so much fun to drive, instant smile makers! Easy and enjoyable kits to build and as soon as you get the front wheels up in the air you will fall in love with it!

[@rivierarc]

@@AddamsPlayground there are plans for a road trip to a big store in May. Thinking it'll be on 'the list' when we go there 😜

[@FastFreddyRC]

Great stuff Addam! I didn't realize this came with oil filled shocks so that's a nice cool surprise from my perspective. But I agree with you on the tires. The bronco comes with the exact same tires as you know and really for a trail, crawler, 4WD truck...they aren't going to be very useful for whatever you're using it for. I LOVE the tread patter and the tires, theoretically. BUT in reality they look the part but don't act the part. The body...it gets confusing. I saw Andy from Andy Robinson RC do an unboxing of this one and it was all pre-painted which, again, was a nice surprise because IF I were to get this one it meant it was already painted in my favourite colour. But, alas, that was only for the european market so hence the confusion once again. Like Forrest Gump says..."you never know what you're gonna get" :) Anyway...great stuff. I'll be very curious to see this once you've changed out the wheels. But I think I like to see a few rounds of your track with the existing ones too just to compare.

[@AddamsPlayground]

Yeah the oil filled shocks were a surprise to me as well and they will be needed with the hard tires under it! I swear those tires feel like stale bagels! Not even close to a rubber tire feel! I agree they look good but I think they are not going to good for any surface other than the shelf LOL! I kind of wish the body was pre-painted and I would have settled for the friction shocks as a trade. I forgot how long it takes to get one of the hard bodies all done! I am taking my time and doing it the best I can. I will give it a fair chance on the stock set up but I am eager to see it with the big tires on it and how it will look and run with those on it! I am pretty sure it will be the way it ends up staying but I will be fair! LOL! Take care my friend!

[@jerryaugustine1329]

The other thing is it may not be geared for the larger tires.might have to put lunchbox gears and pinion in.

[@AddamsPlayground]

It is exactly like the lunchbox, no difference to the chassis at all except for the shorter length front axles. It will run just like the Lunch Box with the big tires. It will be slightly slower wit the smaller ones.

[@oldscoolcooldiecast1879]

I see these kits and like several that’s out but not gonna lie they intimidate me a little considering I’m kinda new to hobby grade RC cars but learning

[@AddamsPlayground]

Don't be intimidated. The instructions for them are very easy to follow, all the hardware is scale sized in each step to take the guesswork out of that. I would suggest getting one that requires minimum painting as that can be more tedious and nerve wracking than building the kit. The TT02b kits (Plasma Edge 2 and the Neo Scorcher) and the DT03 Neo Fighter are great buggies to start off with. Easy to build, tough and fun to drive. The Lunch Box is less painting than this one and is the same chassis and a ton of fun to drive. There are lots to chose from and if you get stuck with something there are tons of folks to reach out to here that will help out.

[@oldscoolcooldiecast1879]

@@AddamsPlayground the lunch box is my favorite it’s the van right. And I’ve built lots of models and painted them it’s the wiring and real tech part of it but thanks to you assuring me I’m gonna go for it. Thank you for the info and appreciate you and ur channel. New subscriber. You always reply if possible

[@AddamsPlayground]

@@oldscoolcooldiecast1879 Yeah if you got the painting part down then the building and wiring is not problem. The modern electronics are super easy and the only two things to do is remember which goes into channel one and two on the receiver and centering the servo before installing it! For the channels on the receiver it is the old saying to live by "one to turn and two to burn" so channel one is steering and channel two is the esc. The instructions walk you through all of it. Get yourself a Lunch Box (it is the van monster truck) and a inexpensive 2.4 radio system, a reguler old servo and a bearing kit from TRB or Fast Eddy. I run mine on inexpensive Zee brand Nimh batterys and you can find an inexpsive charger on amazon for them. It is a bit of an investment to get one but the batteries, charger will be used in others once you get hooked LOL!

[@michaeldorich4485]

I think it's a good looking truck or whatever you call it. The paint color was a great choice. With those little wheels I think it may have a greater tendency to rollover. It will be interesting to see it tun. It's hard to understand why Tamiya would select such hard tires. Maybe they will grip well on the street. Your explanation of the build was very good. I did see one reviewer who said he thought Grasshopper wheels would fit. I have no idea if that's correct.

[@AddamsPlayground]

It should look pretty cool once it is all painted up! I forgot how much detail painting would be needed so it will take most of this weekend to get it done. The original Pajero release had smaller wheels and tires but it also did not have the lower section of the chassis either so it was a much smaller thing overall. With it one the CW01 with the additional lower portion of the chassis the small tires look a little odd. I will give it a fair trial and see what it looks like and how it performs stock. I am pretty sure the big tires are going on there for the long haul though. You could put the hopper wheels on there, the rear end is identical and it has the hopper wheel adapters on it already. The Hoppers, the Hornet and the CW01 trucks all share that same rear end setup! The smaller hopper wheels and tires would be even more comical though! LOL!

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Hey Addam! This is coming out very nice. I really like the wheels and I even really like the tires as far as their tread pattern go, but wow,they are extremely hard aren’t they? You would think they could of thrown in a way better compound that is much softer. Definitely oil filled shocks would be a must upgrade and as you suggested tires too! The Red looks nice, I do like it! I’m wicked excited to see it finished brother! Great video! I very much enjoyed, thank you!👍🏻👊🏼💯😎

[@AddamsPlayground]

Hey there Robby! The wheels and tires both look good, just not sure they are the right fit for the overall look. I will give it a fair chance though and build it and run it stock first. Then the big one go on and I see which will stay! I have no idea why these tires are so hard, there is not point in them being this stiff and plastic feeling. A softer compound, anything that felt close to rubber would have been much better. Of course I am not looking for rock crawler soft but these are like stale bagels!! I am hopeful I can get the painting done on the body tomorrow as I am eager to see it done too! Take care my friend and stay warm!!

[@All_RC_Fun]

Looking nice. Maybe a different set of tires that’ll fit those wheels?

[@AddamsPlayground]

They do have the softer version of these, why it did not come with them I have no idea. I am fairly confident the big wheels and tires are going to make me smile so I will probably end up with those staying on there but I will give it go all stock first.

[@ShenRC]

Came out nice! I like the big tires on this and especially because with the little tires you see how off the wheelbase is in the rear and it looks funky looking ware as with the lunch box wheels and tires you don't notice it to much because it then looks like a monster truck and there wheels are not perfectly in the wheel wells but with the small wheels and tires it should be perfectly lined up to the body wheel wells and it's not so it looks kind of stupid looking...That's my take on it!

[@AddamsPlayground]

Yeah, the small ones make it look out of proportion and not right. The smaller ones looked good on the original but that original basically one had the top deck of the chassis and not the lower one so it looked proper. I'll give it a chance but I am pretty sure it will end up with the big ones staying on there!

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

Great build Addam! Must have built 4 or 5 CWO1's over the years.... never gets boring!. The only thing I hate is those stupid axle springs that snap every time without fail! That looks very 'stiff' with those tyres and shocks..... maybe I'm just so used to the bounce of a lunchie and pumpkin! Tell you what, those racing slicks on the lunchbox wheels that Fil used on his speed run CWO1 a few years back would look awesome on that don't you think? I also think it would help the cva shocks work more effectively. Great job on the paint by the way, seeing that shine makes it look a lot more attractive. Bet it will be a fun ride for sure! 👍 👍 👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

Yes! I love building them, nice and simple but still fun to do. I put on some tunes and just get in the zone and chill for a while building them. Those tires are awful, they look good but feel like stale bagels. It is like the ones on the Aqroshot, look great but are only for decoration as they stink as useful tires! LOL! The cool Potenza slicks would look good on here. I have not looked for a while but they are usually pretty pricey and have to be shipped from overseas. I do need to look into ordering a few sets to have on hand. I have the CVAs on my fun runner and it kind of takes away a little of the fun factor from them, for some reason the stock setup seems more fun to me. It does not ruin it but it does dull some of the characteristics of the CW01 a bit. It should look pretty slick all painted up, taking longer than expected but I think I need to lower my expectations as everything nowadays seems to take longer to get done! I may be getting older and slower! LOL! Take care James!

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

@@AddamsPlayground Totally agree mate! I put some cva's on my original pumpkin in the eighties, it handled better, but definitely lost some of the character /fun factor.

First! Awesome the Pajero....but that name... :)

[@AddamsPlayground]

They were sold under many different names around the world, Pajero was what they went with. It was the Montero here. I don't know much about them but I do know it won the Dakar Rally for its division back when it was first released by Tamiya in 84!! so it was a tough little guy!

[@sparetimerc]

Hey Addam, the Pajero is looking goodI like the Italian red on it. Now, for the tires, why would they put such hard compound tires on this particular vehicle? Were they expecting it to be a shelf queen.

[@AddamsPlayground]

I think once it gets the detail painting all done it will look pretty cool! those tires are terrible, they look great but feel like old, stale bagels! LOL! The good thing is you don't need to lift it off the tires for storage, they will never get flat spots on them from sitting!!

Awesome Addam yeah I’m not a fan of those tires either dude they seem rock hard and don’t suit it.. your idea is so much better 😊 Pete

[@Xandro_B20]

Can you fit lunchbox wheels without modifications? They should have come with lunchbox wheels in the first place.

[@AddamsPlayground]

The only thing you need if the Lunch Box/Midnight Pumpkin front axles as the ones it comes with are shorter for the smaller, more narrow wheels. You can usually find them on eBay pretty cheap. I agree it should have come with the bigger ones, it looks kind of sad and weird with the tiny wheels and tires under it!

[@pugs1377]

I never understood the draw to this chassis. I think it would be a fun build with my grandson in a few years as a way to introduce him to the hobby tho.

[@AddamsPlayground]

I love it, they are the biggest smile makers I have. It is absolutely nothing to be raced or jumped or even try to handle corners... It is just a fun, bumbling, wheelie making machine that I feel in love with. I get it, they are not for everyone though!

[@danjaz2000]

It looks great. Do the oil shocks help or hinder this chassis? The tire maybe better suited to the oil shock. But I agree the lunch box tire will look proper as the chassis is so tall

[@AddamsPlayground]

I know when I put the oil shocks on my lunch box I was not a big fan of it as it smoothed it out and mellowed it down a little too much. I think they are needed on this on with the rock hard tires on it. The lunch box tires are what normally give it 50% the suspension but these tires have no give to them hardly at all so the shocks are going to have to do 99.5% of the work now! The first release of the Pajero with the small wheel and tires did not have the second lower level of the chassis the CW01 has so it was much more fitting. This taller version needs more tire to make it look proper. I will give it a fair shake as is but I am very confident the big tires are going to go on and stay on it!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I’d like to do one of these as a dodge raider

[@AddamsPlayground]

Yeah one with the 90s neon graphics and black paint would be really cool!

[@LassoKid7777]

How many Pajero kits have Tamiya made? I'm looking for one I seen on an old Tamiya tv commercial

[@AddamsPlayground]

The original one from 1984 has the smaller Brat type wheels and that was kit #58044. They re-released it on the CW01 chassis with the bigger lunch box style tires and the original rally livery on kit #57831 in 2012. In 2023 they released it as a red version of the one on the CW01 chassis, kit #58727, but you could easily get the reproduction decals from MCI and make it into a replica of the 57831 version. The original was on its own chassis and you would have to find an original kit to do that one. There are several others that had the Pajero body on it, most were on the CC01 chassis and have the more modern, rounder body design to them.

I didn’t realize these were a cw01 chassis

[@AddamsPlayground]

Yeah the newer one are, the original had its own chassis whish is very similar to the CW01 upper tub by itself. Basically the same but I think the fender areas where the shock shaft go through was a bit different but very similar.

[@RcNickster709]

Yeah that is a bit of a disappointment on those tires. I do like the look of them though.

[@AddamsPlayground]

The tires have a decent look to them, they are just hard as a rock! It may surprise me when I take it out on the stock set up but I have a feeling it won't. I will give the stock ones a fair trial though, so far it is not looking too good for them though! LOL!

[@NANNIRC]

Seen! Now I go to restore my vintage one in order to bore you with my video... Ciao

[@AddamsPlayground]

They are not boring at all, I am enjoying your rebuild! I need to do some rebuilds of my own but the new shiny ones keep distracting me!! LOL!

[@canuckchuck8836]

Are those tires worse than the ones that come with the Ford Bronco kit?

[@AddamsPlayground]

They are the same bricks that cam on the Bronco! I think they will make good course markers when I change the track up and can run rally cars out there!

[@canuckchuck8836]

@@AddamsPlayground Those tires are brutal! Course markers or hockey pucks...either way, the ARE pretty bad.

[@nomusicrc]

So it has new bright tires lol

[@AddamsPlayground]

Maybe, I think the New Bright trucks I have driven had slightly softer feel to them! LOL! I don't understand why they chose these for it. Good thing is they will never wear out!

[@kashmurray1199]

Yep. Not a fan of those tires either. Lunch box tires all the way. Well, I like the chrome ones better off the Wild Willy.

[@AddamsPlayground]

They look too small for me, plus these tires are the hardest compound tire they have ever made, my Grand Hauler tires have more side wall flex I think! LOL! The chrome wheels would probably look great one here. I found the Big white ones for super cheap a while back so I already had those on hand.

[@calvinl5726]

Lunchbox wheels on this car looks way off

[@AddamsPlayground]

If it were the original chassis then the smaller wheels and tires fit it well. With the taller CW01 chassis those looked comically small and made it look kind of sickly and sad. I get the big monster truck tires don't really scream Pajero but overall I feel they fit the chassis much better and give it a much wider stance to not roll over all the time. It is just a personal preference and if it is going to look silly I would prefer the haha silly over the sickly silly.

Tyco rc.... lmao😂

[@AddamsPlayground]

Are you saying it looks like a Tyco RC? I guess it does have the odd proportions to make it look a bit more toy store like. I am hoping to help that out with the bigger tires for it.

[@rocasrcmania]

Addam, great video and channel. Can you remind me what your email address is? I have some rc related questions.

[@AddamsPlayground]

Thank you! I have to give it to you in an odd way, the filtering likes to block any comments with email addresses in them, too many spammers and stuff so I get it. It is addamsplayground at gmail dot com

@@AddamsPlayground Thanks Addam, you are awesome! 💯
