Thanks very much 👍😁 Yeah I was really hoping it would be better. At least they have the kit version though, so you could make it your own, or just use the body on a better chassis. 👍
Such a shame with some of these cheaper models the gearing isn’t there, a lot of people think modulation comes down to poor electronics but that’s where wpl gets right, low gearing makes a world of difference! I am temped to get one and put a wpl gearbox and some oils shocks
Better electronics in the first place would be nice though. I like having decent wheel speed on my rigs, but you need a decent esc for that...or a nice 2 speed! The WPL's are hardly great mind with their slow speed control. 👍
@@DoURC I mean electronics definitely are 50% of the equation when it comes to getting good throttle modulation, but gearing definitely makes a huge difference. I bought an mn78 as a gift for someone, installed those aftermarket wpl metal single speed transmissions and the performance is night and day, went from performing like this pajero to having decent throttle modulation and loads of torque. In my opinion it should be the first upgrade. I do agree electronics will make it even better.
When reality hits and you're literally just playing with a toy 😅 It does look cool though and I would be tempted getting a kit and add it to the fleet. Great honest review 👍
@@DoURCcontroversial... but you could actually say it's excellent value for money... the hardbody, interior, wheels, tyres and light kit all worth the price imo 😁 It just means another project... and do we have time for another project?... No! 😅
Nice hard body and full interior, would be inclined to remove the chassis and slap the body on a custom crawler chassis. Would hook up the lights but leave the indicators disconnected : grin :
I can see this upgraded with a brushless system and then go dune bashing (well, maybe more beach bashing) with it like I've seen many people do it in dubai or saudi arabia. I feel it is quite obvious that this will not be a good crawler.
I didn't expect much power or tourqe out of this like the 1299 but my review got cut short when the electronics failed to re-bind the seller is apparently sending me a new board and motor 🛵 Hopefully the board fixes it so I can finish the review 😅 But I think it's possibly the transmitter. Does the light on your transmitter flash or stay solid until you turn the car on ? Great review 😊
they call the pre-assembled version ready to run, because building the kit version will not make it useable at all. the kit comes with no motors or electronics.
Most kits don't come with electronics, that's normally part of the point, so you can fit what you want in it. 👍 The RTR is literally that, ready to run, just add your transmitter batteries and you're good to go. 👍
@@DoURC at only $5-$10 cheaper, i dont see any reason you'd buy the kit.. even if you are gonna upgrade it, $10 for a heap of spare electronics is a bargain imo. i mean, they're pretty much the same price
@Ghryst Yeah I agree, not sure you'd want to keep the stock electronics though, they're rubbish! 🤣 The kit will be for those people that like to build them. 👍 Tbh just buy an MN or something else as they're just better and cheaper. 👍
The only reason I would get one is as a support vehicle for my 1/14 truck. This hard body does look nice.
Yeah as just an on road vehicle it would probably be OK and does look nice. 👍
Thank you for sharing a good video with a nice car! 💯👍👍
Thanks very much mate, appreciate it. 👍😁
Unfortunate that they made such a cool looking rig lack luster in performance and durability. Thanks for the review my dude. Love your vids 👍🏻
Thanks very much 👍😁

Awesome pajero ❤️🔥😁
Great video 💪✅️
Thanks very much 👍😁
Nice looking Pajero, I wish it had better electronics and more ground clearance
Yeah, I love the look. The kit version is the best option I reckon. 👍
i'd probably try to fity a wpl crawler chassis under it.
I'd go for something better if possible, even an MN chassis would be better. 👍

Thanks for the review .Been driving the MNs an WPLs unfortunately ill give this a miss.
You're not missing much tbh! 😬
THANKS!
Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍😁

Yeah it wasn't the best, but that body does look nice. 👍😎

Yeah, it's a nice body, shame the rest isn't great. 🤣 Yeah definitely bye bye indicators! Most pointless thing on an RC ever! 🤣👍
Metal differential?
I believe it said all metal gears. 👍
I can see this upgraded with a brushless system and then go dune bashing (well, maybe more beach bashing) with it like I've seen many people do it in dubai or saudi arabia. I feel it is quite obvious that this will not be a good crawler.
Not sure it would survive a brushless system. The body is nice, but yes certainly no crawler. They should have just lister it as an RC car. 👍
sounds like a boat prop spooling up lol body does look cool though
🤣 Yeah, not a nice noise! I do love a Pajero and the body does look really nice. 👍😎
Could we see the cr18p rock van again?
Yeah will be back on the channel soon, just need a new steering servo arm. 👍
Great 👍
Thanks very much 👍

Does the light on your transmitter flash or stay solid until you turn the car on ?
Great review 😊
Hope you can fix yours, although you're not missing much with those stock electronics tbh! 🤣😬
@@DoURC 🤣🤣 yeah definitely not but I wanted a fair review 😊
@@suvsteve 🤣 I can understand that. I was really hoping for more with this one. But tbf the body does look great, especially for the price. 👍
@@DoURC yeah I'll see if I can get the stock electronics working and if not I'll upgrade it so I can use it 😁
Does the tail light turn off when you turn off the headlight?
No, they're on as soon as you turn it on. 👍
Hobby grade?
Kind of I guess. You can upgrade it, but out the box it's not great. 👍
Hazard lights supported?
I covered all the standard light functions in the video. 👍
Proportionate throttle?
Yes
Metal drive shaft?
No, plastic. 👍
How expensive is the defender
Do you mean my TRX4 Defender?
Do you mean my TRX4 Defender? If so about £560 stock. 👍
280 motor?
Pretty sure that's what I said in the video. 👍
Top speed?
Don't know, slow, it's a crawler. 👍
Weight?
Not sure, probably lists it in the description on Banggood etc. 👍

@@DoURC mn is ok, but im currently trying to find a realistic matching scale for my huina equipment (a site-boss car). this one is pretty close
@Ghryst Ah cool, if it's not crawling I'd just find the body you like. Maybe convert a toy instead.
Metal driveshaft?
Are we in the Matrix or something? 😬🤔
Metal differential?
@technicaltreats2704 You already asked that and I already answered you.
