In 1982, the first generation Mitsubishi Pajero was released to the public. Fast forward 26 years, and you will find that the Pajero is still a very popular vehicle. This expert built Mitsubishi Pajero R/C car is of the second generation Pajero manufactured between 1991- 1999. When the newly designed 2nd generation Pajero first went on sale, it was marketed as a Recreational Vehicle and was the number one seller in the Japanese market. One of the notable changes that this Pajero went through was with its engine. To improve overall performance, the 3.0 litre gasoline engine was replaced with a 3.5 litre engine, and intercooler turbos were added to 2800cc diesel engine. Even when domestic sales had stopped in 1999, the production of 2nd generation Parejo's continued until 2002, and were mainly exported to Europe.
