Kyosho Pajero 1:9

 

	Sept 2005: I've found a Kyosho Pajero electric version on June on Ebay. My project was to lock all 3 diffs to use it in hard off road. Since I didn't want the fear of breaking hard to find parts such as gears, I began to rebuild some of them using easy to find parts. I found that diff gear from a Tamiya TG10 could work in both front/rear diff with a little trimming. I had to build a spur adapter first. One weak point was rear axle, easy to break. This one came already broken...
	...so I made a brass tube to fit inside of it as a reinforcement.
	Next I made a spur gear adapter
	Nothing comes good at first! I had to make 3 of them to have the correct one. I then made a similar one for front gearbox.
	I used original shafts, but they were not a centered work, so I had to make a one piece shaft next.
	This is the central diff to be rebuilt.
	And this all parts I made with a common pulley installed.
	The central unit
	The rear axle all made from brass.
	Here you can see the truck ready for first run. I used Traxxas Stampede sliders and Priline Dirt Hawg tires. They were too large, but narrowing them was a planned work to do.
	My first test run was disappointing: rear bevel/spur mesh was not good and I've damaged the spur. I decided to reinstall original diff on back.
	Dec 2005: Narrowed tires and wheels. Look is better now, still have to run it.
