Tamiya 49490 1/10 Mitsubishi Pajero Metaltop Wide Scale Edition  [49490]

Revived Classic with True Scale Chassis

The Mitsubishi Pajero Metaltop Wide remains a standout classic in RC history, and Tamiya's reissue preserves its iconic lines. Built around the CC-01 chassis, this kit delivers an authentic scale appearance together with the mechanical layout that made the Pajero famous in rally and endurance events.

Proven 4WD Underpinnings

The Tamiya 49490 Mitsubishi Pajero Metaltop Wide is constructed on the CC-01 platform in 1/10 scale and features a 4WD shaft drive. The independent front suspension and solid rear axle, matched with oil-filled dampers, provide controlled articulation and reliability for recreational off-road use.

Finish Options and Lighting Prep

The ABS body is robust and takes paint well, allowing accurate period finishes or contemporary colour schemes using Tamiya TS Spray Paints. Headlight mounting points are provided so owners can fit high-brightness LEDs to enhance realism for display or evening runs.

Construction Tips for Enthusiasts

This kit is aimed at modellers who enjoy hands-on construction. Gather a 7.2V battery and charger, radio set, servo and receiver, wheels and tyres, motor, and ESC before you begin. Careful alignment and correct component choice will improve handling and longevity.

The Tamiya Mitsubishi Pajero Metaltop Wide is well suited to scale collectors and experienced builders who prioritise authentic appearance and sturdy off-road performance.
