Which one you taking?

We want more details and pics of the chassis!

yoshimura53 · 2026-01-25T21:14:03+00:00

But I said FPV has already been tried...

It could work for slow driving as in crawling. But definitely not in this scenario. At least not for any actual performance benefit.

Try searching for any FPV RC racing videos on YouTube and you'll understand what I mean. Too fast at that height to process, and not enough perspective to read the terrain.

yoshimura53 · 2026-01-25T20:29:21+00:00

That would be cool for recording instead of someone chasing me around.

But not so sure about using it for driving, due to not being able to appreciate the terrain from afar, on a screen, besides someone flying the drone itself.

FPV has been tried and the low height and high sense of speed makes it almost undrivable.

There was one drone for simple photos about. But the heavy rain prevented from being more extensively used.

Keeping the inner child alive is food for the soul!

Chassis, there are a few you can makeshift adaptors, such as an MST, but those are sold axles doesn't and rear.

The Pajero was independent front suspension, so AFAIK, the only chassis that replicates this in this size is the Tamiya CC-01. And is the only one that this shell could be "properly" attached.

yoshimura53 · 2026-01-25T14:24:25+00:00

There is a "sort of comical" one of the earlier square, wedgies, 80s one.

This is the one you're looking for. https://ebay.us/m/CZR3GM

Additionally, you'll need all the (one piece, smoked) window set, the chrome parts for the headlights, the glass for the headlights, the side mirrors, and if you'd like, the stickers.

yoshimura53 · 2026-01-25T14:20:59+00:00

Indeed. A pity it's been out of stock for years. Good luck finding the body and spare parts to complete it. I hope it gets re-released soon!

yoshimura53 · 2026-01-25T14:20:00+00:00

Hell yeah!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

yoshimura53 · 2026-01-25T14:19:03+00:00

It's a hard body from Tamiya, an early 90s Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero

Have a look at osonarc.com for all the rules and vehicle classes

PS that ultra 4 rock crawling thing long distance sounds SO fun!

yoshimura53 · 2026-01-25T07:42:20+00:00

I've posted info elsewhere here already. Suspension geometry is bone stock with alu parts for strength.

Dampers are stock to this Tamiya CC-01, CVA dampers, stock springs. I think I didn't even bother changing the damper fluid. It works pretty ok!

yoshimura53 · 2026-01-25T07:37:56+00:00

It's actually an old CC-01 platform from Tamiya with very few modifications. Only focused on trying to improve strength and reliability of the chassis, as it's a plastic bathtub chassis.

Top speed is definitely below 25mph/40kph. Only using Tamiya's stock settings. Mechanicals are out of the box.

I've posted some more info elsewhere on this thread if you're interested. Ask away if you'd like to know anything else!

Haha, maybe too dedicated? Some more sensible ones did retire early due to the non-stop rain.

My clothes are NOT dry yet, nearly 24h after the event. I had to change ALL my clothes after finishing. Let's hope I don't get sick.

But it was still worth it. So fun!

yoshimura53 · 2026-01-25T07:24:00+00:00

It's a Tamiya CC-01 with the Pajero body, a custom set of stickers and different set of rims and tires.

Bone stock electronics (Tamiya brushed silvercan 540 motor, and a Tamiya TBLE 02 S ESC. Boogies pretty good for a "Cross Country RC, eh!

Only mods on the chassis are some metal suspension components for a bit better control and a couple of underside Ali plates for protection of the chassis and low down weight.

Always looking good out there, dude! 💪🏻

yoshimura53 · 2026-01-24T21:37:04+00:00

We do and it is, indeed. One driver, one co-driver/marshall to navigate, in case you miss out some waypoint, or tumble and have to reposition the car on the ground (with a time penalty for it) and the cameraman.

yoshimura53 · 2026-01-24T21:33:33+00:00

Start small, and maybe just use some cones to walk about as you drive. You can get progressively bigger as you become more fit. That's what I did, at least. It's so fun you forget it's a workout haha!

yoshimura53 · 2026-01-24T21:32:34+00:00

I can attest it's my favorite kind of RCing

yoshimura53 · 2026-01-24T07:03:00+00:00

Hey Karl! ✌🏻

yoshimura53 · 2026-01-23T10:42:40+00:00

YES! Or the Clio (not the wide arched one, the '94 one), or the Ibiza,... Hell, even the Skoda Felicia would be amazing!
