Description
This R/C assembly kit recreates a fun and boxy classic VAN with over-sized monster truck tires. It is one of Tamiya's classic creations from the 1980’s (First released in 1987). It has been a fan favorite for its original appearance as much as for its R/C performance. The boxy minivan body has been raised up over monster truck wheels to ensure that this R/C van will grab the attention wherever you choose to drive it. 2WD Chassis Mounted on Big 115mm Diameter Tires The durable and easy-to-assemble 2WD chassis employs a box type frame, and features front independent swingarms and a rear rolling rigid suspension. Big 115mm diameter tires offer dynamic running on even the toughest of surfaces. Sealed gearbox protects the diff gear from dirt and sand during off-road driving. Rear mounted wheelie bar enables wild stunt driving.

A fun, fun, fun classic. See why they've been selling it for 40+ years!
I've wanted one since the 1980's and finally got one to build with my son. Some aftermarket parts help with stability and it is only 2WD, but it is FUN. Good value for the money. Assembly wasn't hard. The main thing is you might need to watch some supplemental videos on YouTube to help you work out some things that aren't always 100% clear from the directions. It helps to carefully look at the instructions as important details and guides are sometimes found in the notes on the sides. It is durable. The parts are high quality for being mostly plastic. You can upgrade as you need to. I'd recommend buying well machined, aluminum aftermarket shocks. Make sure the ones you buy are known not to leak. And remember, this isn't supposed to be for hardcore racing or competition. This thing is supposed to be a bouncy, fun monster truck with some pizzazz.

Big fun in a yellow box
It's hard to say whether putting everything together or driving it around is more fun. I actually really enjoyed reading through the instructions, finding the parts for each step, and building the main components for this truck. The instructions are very clear, and broken apart into smaller, manageable steps. From start to finish, It took me about 20 hours in total, broken apart across a few days, to get the truck assembled, painted, and running. About 6 of those hours were just working on the body and outer details, though. This kit contains no electronics, so you'll need to provide the following: * Radio system (transmitter and receiver) * Steering Servo * Electronic Speed Control (ESC) * Battery and charger (plus batteries for the transmitter) You'll also need a Phillips-head screwdriver, paint for the body, and I'd recommend some CA glue for the tires. I outfitted my Lunch Box with a Hobbywing WP-1060 Brushed ESC, a 27T Axial motor, a Traxxas 2076 servo, and the cheapest FlySky radio system I could find that didn't look ridiculous. It's worth noting that if you're going to run with a LiPo battery, you will need to modify the battery compartment to make it fit. I took a dremel to a small plastic area, and now I can fit a soft-case battery in there no problem. It will not fit a hard-cased Duratrax battery without *really* forcing it in there, which just seems like a bad idea. With this setup, I can blip the throttle to make it wheelie, or I can ease into the throttle to get it bounding across the field. I've seem videos of people putting super-fast brushless motors in these things, which seems kind of... silly. Either way, I absolutely recommend gluing the tires into place, because even at regular speeds, a few sharp turns and they start to roll off the rims. All around, a really enjoyable build, and lots of fun to drive. It's not graceful by any means, but by keeping the battery down low, and having a wide stance, it really doesn't tip over as often as you may think.

Better than I rembered! Better than I rembered!
I had the Tamiya Lunch Box when I was a young teen. Many hours of enjoyment then and even better now. Very rewarding build, just remember you'll need the running gear. Great model rc for the young and not so young hobby enthusiast.

Even A 6-year old Can Play it
Me and my 6 year old assembled this baby up within a day. Thats one day faster than assembling the Hotshot. It was so simple to put together, we had it running in no time. Slide the battery in, turn on the remote, then turn on the unit and the Lunchbox does its signature wheelies whenever you throttle it up fast. But dont expect it to turn as long as the front end is up, its something one has to think about before having the unit do this specially if there is an obstruction close ahead. The 540 motor is just right for this unit. Give it a faster motor, the vehilce wont be able to handle the turns too well which is what happened to my daughter who gave the newly painted pink body a couple of scratches on the top side of the cover. But its all good, its all fun. Teaches her self control in easing up on the throttle and turns. Speaking of turns, with the big tires, the turning radius is much wider than the buggies, of course. Ample space is needed to negotiate good turns. Done at a slower-than-max speeds, the Lunchbox can do drifts and 180 turn arounds...just make sure you cement glue the tires to the wheels first. If i only had the money when i was a kid, i would have gotten one of these...after getting the AE RC10.

Classic RC Fun Classic RC Fun
This kit from Tamiya is plastic, but doesn't break. I've rolled it, jumped it, crashed it, ran head on into solid objects, and more. I had to replace the servo but that was a cheapy that doesn't even come with this kit. Get a radio/receiver combo, some NiMH batteries, good servo with a good Servo Saver - Build it all and have FUN! Oh yeah, and just when you thought the hype was over, all the fun was had, do yourself a favor and put the Sport Tuned motor in it and wake her up again! She'll stand up on the wheelie bar with her fronts up in the air and take off down the dirt track! WANT EVEN MORE? Swap it up to LiPO with a brushless system and then think about what you have done... With that set up you'll want metal trailing arms for the fronts and better suspension. Why am I telling you all this? This RC is capable, fun, and has plenty of spare parts for sale on the net. Buy this and build it with you kid, buy it and build it for yourself. You can't go wrong with the Lunchy here. Wonderful product from one of the best RC companies around. Thank you, good night.

It's a lunchbox. What's not to love. It's a lunchbox. What's not to love.
Built this kit up for one of my nephews for Christmas. Perfect base for a fun custom build. And a great car for newcomers to the hobby as well as full blown rc addicts. I'll probably end up with one on my shelf eventually.

Well jus assembled this beast today awesome RC truck Well jus assembled this beast today awesome RC truck
Well jus assembled this beast today awesome RC truck. Took bout 6 hrs to build but haven't built one in prob 25 yrs and with a 3yr helping we'll jus say it was well worth every minute no complaints here. Did jus order the oil shock upgrade/ sealed bearings/heat sink/fifth shock and a light kit. I can def see another RC kit in the near future. Lunchbox is a classic tho good one to start with. With in the 1st hr of use we managed to break the wind shield and destroy the paint job(dang car got in the way ) All good fun jus gives us something to fix and work on together in the future. A must buy for anyone.... it came very quick and in perfect condition
