I like watching you talk about Rc cars and stuff. Especially tamiyas. Not many channels have to much to do with older style tamiya kits. very underrated channel.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. I still like the new stuff but I always come back to the old cars. They just bring back so many memories. I didn't have many RC's growing up but I bought all the magazines I could afford and drooled over the pictures lol. Thanks for the kind words! 👍

Beautiful build 😎 Well done Sir👍🏻

Looks fantastic! It's funny how painting accents, body lines, etc. can take significantly more time than an entire lexan body! Great build, thanks for sharing.

Haha thanks mate! I forgot to mention, I actually used Tamiya acrylic in the airbrush for the wheel cover. I think it looks pretty good too. Could be a good idea but it's a lot of money to throw away. It actually sprayed quite well but I think it was mostly thinners coming out. It looked like I'd tipped thinners over it straight after painting 😬. That is a great chrome. I use Molotow pen refills, just tip a small amount on a piece of paper then brush it on. I've used it in the airbrush too and it worked well. It's not very hard wearing though, very easy to ruin the finish by touching it even when dry. No probs at all mate, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I don't think the ol' Paj' was too popular back in the day. 👍

It turned out great, pity the one body was lost to bad paint, but the new body really came in to save the day! :D Would love to see a little driving clip, tho, I understand that its a bit risky to drive it, it looks so nice, and you might get the itchy trigger finger and start blasting it (its hard to stop once you start driving!). :D

I watched a Japanese Tamiya build video and I noticed that the guy placed his paint cans in a pot of water on the stove with a plate on top to hold them underwater. I don’t know what he was doing because everything was in Japanese but I suspect he was warming them up before using them. Maybe it’s not a bad idea to take into account the temperature of the paint. Especially on a cold day.

Awesome finish in the end there Mick , where does this end the love for the model building and collecting is awesome but the room and all the boxes can somewhat get horrendous starting to creep toward 90 kits and almost 55 needing building so i think ill have to start being very selective on what i buy and so on but i think i have an addiction as i just bought another 6 in the past month and now with lockdown over and things starting to get back in some normality i also am getting back into my RC planes as flying is one of my real passions so i could be looking for a bigger and better residents with perhaps a barn/shed he he he thanks for another aspirating video and such a great finish on the old timer truly came out tops mate :-) , cheers .

I'd love a plane one day but I'm not good at thinking in 3D so it will likely end in heartache lol. Oh yeah, you're gonna need more space if your collection keeps growing, a shed would be cool lol.

They re-released it as the Mitsubishi Montero Wheelie in 2011. Of course it's a little different now, using the Lunch Box chassis and the big wheels. I bought two of them not so long ago, so I think there may have been a new batch recently. Hope you're having fun building those kits! 👍

Looks fantastic to me! Certainly far from what yo started with that's for sure! Definitely a beauty to add to the collection. Hope the track work is going ok and looking forward to seeing how that turns out.

How much difference is there between the Pajero chassis and the Lunchbox chassis?

@RCHobbyShed

2 жыл бұрын

There are a few differences although the main difference would be that the battery mounts through the bottom of the Lunch Box, whereas the Pajero battery is mounted up the top in the rear. Other differences are steering servo angle is different, body mounts, also the shocks and shock mounts front and rear are different. 👍

This looks great Mick, I've done some very crap paint jobs especially my sand scorcher. Knew I should just leave it white. Sometimes you just can't win. This looks very nice, hopefully they do a rere. I'm trying not to buy anything but I like the super Avante. There's no way I won't buy that ,just looks very different from the rest and they say it's a great running beast. I have a nice rocket 3.5 turn motor I'm thinking of using in a tt02 escort just to see how fast I can get it to go. The guy who makes the G11 part for the VQS is going to make alloy shock towers for it soon . I hear that's a great running car to. Thanks for the video mate, take care.

Thanks mate! Oh yeah, sometimes it just doesn't go well no matter what ya do. There is the Montero, released in 2011. It's still the Pajero body but on a Lunch Box chassis and has the big wheels. I wish they'd rereleased it as it was in 84. The Super Avante has me on the fence, I really can't decide if I like it or not. It's different though, no doubt about that! Haha the Escort will hammer with the 3.5 in it! Oh yeah, he messaged me the other day to tell me. Hmmm, think I will have to have me some nice gold alloy shock towers 🤤. I still haven't run my VQS yet. Since we've been out of lockdown it's poring rain most days, if it's not one thing it's another! No probs mate, hope you enjoyed it. Cheers! 👍
