Overview

Please Note:

This kit comes without a Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting and drilling.

A classic creation reborn! This is the re-release of the iconic Tamiya Lunch Box monster truck. Tamiya have kept this re-released version of the Lunch Box as close to the original as possible, with the same bathtub chassis, sealed gearbox, solid rear axle and powerful 540 sized brushed motor as the original Lunch Box, with the only real difference being an updated TEU-101BK electronic speed controller.

Enjoy the satisfaction of building and painting your own RC car with Tamiya's easy to follow instructions. The Tamiya Lunch Box is a great introduction into the exciting RC hobby.

Note

This body shell comes completely UNPAINTED and may or may not require body post holes to be drilled. Only use a ABS Safe paint such as the Tamiya TS series to finish these bodies, as standard paints will not adhere and/or cause damage to the body shell's surface.

Highlights

Independent Swing Axle

Independent Swing Axle

The chassis features independent swing axle front suspension and a rolling rigid rear suspension with coil springs and CVA oil shocks. The diagonally mounted steering servo and two-piece tie rod provide precise control, while the sealed gearbox houses the differential gear for smooth and efficient operation.

Bathtub Chassis

Bathtub Chassis

The main frame is a lightweight and strong ABS resin bathtub chassis that allows easy installation and maintenance of the internal parts. The battery is mounted at the lowest position for a lowered centre of gravity.

Independent Suspension

Independent Suspension

The front suspension is an independent type swing axle system. The steering system is equipped with the servo mounted diagonally and uses a 2-split rod.

Wheelie Bar

Wheelie Bar

The rear suspension features a strong rolling rigid design for durability and stability, while the included wheelie bar prevents the vehicle from tipping over during wheelies, allowing for exciting stunts and safe driving.

Eye Catching Wheels

Eye Catching Wheels

The truck is equipped with 115mm hollow rubber rug pattern tyres that provide superior grip and ground clearance for tackling challenging terrain. The stylish yellow one-piece rims enhance the truck's overall aesthetic and complement its off-road capabilities.
