Iconic Pajero Styling Backed by CC-01 Strength
The Mitsubishi Pajero Metaltop Wide has long been a favourite among scale fans, and Tamiya's re-release keeps the original silhouette intact. Mounted on the robust CC-01 chassis, this kit brings a blend of authentic appearance and practical off-road hardware that experienced builders will appreciate.
Off-Road Chassis and Drive
The Tamiya 49490 Mitsubishi Pajero Metaltop Wide uses the tried-and-tested CC-01 layout in 1/10 scale with a 4WD shaft drive. Independent front suspension and a solid rear axle, paired with oil-filled shocks, offer dependable articulation and traction on mixed terrain, from hard-packed tracks to loose surfaces.
Durable Shell and Lighting Prep
Made from resilient ABS plastic, the body accepts paint and decals for a realistic finish. The kit includes headlight mounts so you can add high-brightness LEDs for functional lighting or display effects, without extensive body modification.
Practical Build Checklist
Assembling this kit requires some familiarity with RC components. Gather a 7.2V battery and charger, radio gear, a quality servo and receiver, wheels and tyres, motor, ESC, and your chosen body paint before starting. Following the instructions carefully will yield a reliable model ready for off-road running.
