bodgemonkey Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hey guys, looking to get a scale r/c, i am completely drawn in by the Tamiya Toyota Hilux highlift, and already have a little project in my head( Thinking of doing it like the top gear Hilux). They look amazing, and i love the scale realism. I'm looking to spend as little as possible, i have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodgemonkey Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 hmmm... well it looks cheaper to buy the hilux from here, i also want to get the tlu-01 lighting kit and possibly the tlu-02 aswell, but i don't want to pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRC Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 jero all the way mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrklaw Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 are the pajeros still available in the UK? Thought they were discontinued and only the toureg is still on sale? Or are you looking on ebay? third option for you: - CC01 chassis (either just the chassis parts off ebay, or buy a used pajero/toureg), then fit a hilux body onto it. Thats supposed to be an excellent option for a scale look, and much cheaper than buying the full high lift kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 I was thinking about getting a hilux body aswell, Model-direct has got a jero for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrklaw Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) I was thinking about getting a hilux body aswell, Model-direct has got a jero for £130 inc. postage. got a link? if you're thinking of putting the high lift body on later, check the wheelbase. Not sure if hte pajero is the long or short WB version of the CC01, so it might not be a straight drop-in replacement Edited August 28, 2009 by mrklaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrklaw Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 cheers. Just had a look and the pajero is 9.5" wheelbase, toureg is 10.5" I think. Hilux body is 11" wheelbase (tundra is 12") should be able to adjust with just using longer rear links and shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Cheers bud, i'll leave it as is, first i'll get the tlu-01 light thingy, then ballrace it, then i'll get the hilux shell But first i need to get some cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53HRA Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 The re-release pajero is a funny one It came out around april 08(or somewhere near?) and everyshop was saying limited.People ordered loads then,they came out for a while and were not limited! now there hard to find in the uk!! If you order from the right guys it will be fine.I normally order from Dinball AKA RCMART , JR-RC or Stellamodels (there site www.stellamodels.net has more range) All these places are great and you shouldnt get any problems with customs - there feedback says it all to be honest If you want a highlift shell on the CC-01 it will need the links and the shaft extentending as mrlaw said Oh,no mate tamiya have not done a 5-door Pajero shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrklaw Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 5-door pajero would be a good project - couple of bodies, cut and stretch.. I'm off to look at those sites for tundras now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
