The day has finally come.....

Hi all, I want to share a story of myself.....

The year was 1984.  I was 8 years old at that time.  My father was a merchant working in a office in Dudas Street (next to KWS).  Since he is such a hard working person, once a while he would go to the office on Sunday mornings and he always bring me along.  He had a car, (if I remember right it was a Silver Volvo 244...).  and of course, s a kid, I was sitting at the back seat looking out the window.....

Like all kids, I was wondering around and look for anything that's attractive to me.  And everytime we drove by Yao Ma Day Cinema, there was a model shop next to it.  One year, I notice that shop has a poster up front and that was the moment I immidate fall in love with that poster.  It was a white Jeep (I didn't know what model it was..)  I asked my father to get it for me but.... NO!  He wouldn't let me.  It was too expensive at that time...  I cried a couple times but of course --- helpless.....  So I gave up.

BUT!  A week ago, I found my old friend!  After all these years!  The dream of the dream.  With the help of Ebay US, I finally locate this piece of art.  And the best part is, IT'S NIB!!!!  Just as it came out in 1984.  She is in Sunshine State California!  And now, I am 30.  I can finally get a chance to own it by myself!  And ladies and gentleman, 1984 Tamiya Mitsubishi Pajero!  NIB!  Has finally fall into my hand!  Enjoy the photos!

呢架山貓記得當年係一架平價車，好似都唔使二百大元，又係尾輪車，可以岳頭，估唔到今時今日仲比你搵到盒全新，簡直係正！睇伯都要４位數先有交易！

Thanks for your suggestion Mike. Let's wait and see then.

Hmmmm....  the TLT huh........  Well, just my opinion, I think you rather go with a TXT then TLT because if you play TLT type of 4x4, you are not looking for speed bashing but slow climb.  TLT is good but in order to make it to become a "ultimate climb machine", you need to add on a lot of modification parts from overseas companies such as this one from Korea (www.craftlab.net)  
Neither the TLT, TXT or even the Clod Buster is good for climb right out from the box......  
Ever consider the Tamiya Hummer or Tamiya VW Touareg?  OR if you want to spend the dough, wait for the F350 which should release within the next few months now..... That's the best 4x4......

Ryan,

Oh Yea!  I wouldn't mind another Pajero in my collection or if you need assistance on restoring it, let me know.... I am more than happy to help you!  (or help me!)

Mike,

Regarding the big footer, I intend to buy a 4WD. However, I find that the only available product in the market is the tamiya TXT, TLT1, twin detonator and the blaster etc.. Honestly, I don't want a hugh one so I TXT is not my cup of tea. TLT1 may be suitable for me.

In addition, I Lunch Box is also so funny but it is a 2WD.

Ryan,

As for big footers, tell me, how much you want to spend and what type of offroading you'll like to play?  Slow climb?  Foot ball match?  Or high speed bashing...  That would be a way to start...

Thanks Mike. However, I am so lazy and do not have any intention to restore it.

By the way, I want to buy an electric funny big foot truck. Any recommendations. e.g. Lunch box, TLT etc.

Hi ryan, if you are too lazy to restore the Pajero, why don't u sell it to Mike? keekee, I m sure he'll be happy to take care of your pajero and start another project!! Oh, give him a "friendly cheap price"...hahaa

Fun truck huh? Get the Lunchbox or Metallic Midnight Pumpkin (~$500), then join our wheelie football team!!! A warm welcome to you first~~~

BTW, someone told me that the ESC manufacturer "Tekin" has been closed down for a long time. Isn't it ?

suprising no they haven't, but nowadays they only make 1/18th electronics, heres the website for you to check out: http://www.teamtekin.com/


As for the bigfoot, it depends on what you want to drive it on

Perhaps you should consider having it restored?  Check out my post on restoring my Pajero or the MU (Which was a super hard project...) and leave it as display or "slow play" la!  
I am trying to arrange a meet for all CC01/vintage playday but seems the response isn't as good as I thought.......  

Your Pajero looks really good...  everything is completed and restorable...!  
Again, Welcome to RC-EVO!

Mike,

Because of you touching "essay", I spend more than half hour of my life to find it out from the closets and another half hour to take some pictures and loaded into the PC. Luckily the light blubs still work.

The pictures and the associated early 90's RC accessories are attached. As you can see, a lot of wounds....

Cool bor, so which one is better painted? the one from N or A?

I think the one from Netherlands is painted nicer........  But they both pretty much the same....
