Get a video of it running. So we can see how epic it really is.

Yea..ehh...about that. I've tried, but let's face it, I live in Miami, land of no rocks. I can provide a video on grass, but the mosquitoes would eat me alive.

Seriously, I'll try.

True. Whenever I go to the beach, I'll take it.

Hence why it's electronically controlled. You open the door, throw it outside (with it on), close the door and drive from the safety of your house.

No, it's not as crazy as it sounds, I do it during the winter all the time.

In all seriousness, it looks beastly out there. Cannot wait for the video.

I did that the other day but in my back yard. With the screen door and everything, but when it got stuck...I almost left it there until later, lol.

Thanks for the comment.

You could wrap your self in blankets or whatever and make eyes holes to see and breath out of! Or you could get some bugspray. I don't remember the mosquitoes being that bad when I was in Florida...but I guess there is a lot of water.

OMG....you could make a bugspray flamethrower and mount it on the Pajero! That will keep em away....well maybe not from you...but the Pajero will be mosquito bite free

Just imagine the look you get while wrapped in blankets driving an R/C truck..
They become crazy during this time of year only, so it will end soon.
I like the flamethrower idea...
Now to brainstorm on it. First question, how?

Today I went a actually used the Pajero in some terrain...sand. Did good, but the tires could be better. And the suspension is still soft, causing rubbing when turning under some flex. I took all the pictures with my phone. The video was also from the phone, so please excuse the crappy video quality. Moreover, it's hard to drive while recording with a flip phone..

Not bad at all. The hole in the sand doesn't like it though. It wants to eat the Pajero.... Nice pictures too.

Tomorrow (today) I plan to make some better body mounts for the rear, using velcro. Also, I might be getting new shocks sometime later this week.

Well, I finally got my items from The Scale Bungee Store, and it was well worth the wait. I got a cooler, a fishing pole, bungees, and 2 chains, which I don't really know where they go. No outdoor pictures because I don't want the Pajero to be taken off my hands by Hurricane Fay.
