Tamiya "Lunch Box" Black Edition 2WD Monster Truck Kit - Review

[@slkric1724]

I had a Yellow one when I was a kid.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Black is faster :)LOL I actually put stripes on mine to make it even more faster!

[@sabres1632]

I still have mine from the 80s. I rebuilt it a couple years ago with some upgrades. It really is a ton of fun to drive!

[@Rcstreetshop]

It is so cool to see trucks from 80s. Always puts smile on our face when when somebody brings old Tamiya truck for service...these are true RC enthusiasts!

[@bodarville7860]

I have been looking at tamiya kits for a long time and this is the one I always come back to. I never had one as a kid but I remember them you talked me into it I am gonna get one and build it.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Lunchbox ia a lot of fun!!

[@Dave-us6yu]

Put my order in for one from you!! Like the Truck a lot, this was my era!! :)

[@Rcstreetshop]

Thanks a lot for your order....I believe it's already on its way. This truck is a blast to ride!

[@SnarkyRC]

Nice review. I always liked the Midnight Pumpkin over the Lunchbox

[@Rcstreetshop]

Midnight Pumpkin is definitely a competitor 😎LOL

[@michaelbaxter8383]

[@Mugen-MTC2R]

Are you kidding me?? Its the perfect first car for a kid!!

[@Rcstreetshop]

Tamiya cars are great for beginners.

[@AtomicNinja77]

good video almost got one long ago went with the old traxxas stampede.

[@Rcstreetshop]

Old school or no school (or should we say no FUN).

[@AtomicNinja77]

old school transmitter 27mhz 49mhz kids today would be so lost with it lol that's not 2.4ghz....

[@jaredsayrc4947]

I been wanting to get a lunchbox but haven't bought one yet but my first rc was a Clod buster

[@jaredsayrc4947]

I'm really looking for a snap-on lunchbox but it's really hard to find

[@Jrmah]

i have a lunch box and its my first and i love it and the hobby but the stock speed control burns up on any quicker motors than the stock one

[@Rcstreetshop]

Castle Creations is a good replacement aftermarket ESC

[@Jrmah]

RC Street Shop thanks ill try it out

[@matthewcichowlas6619]

In my 2wd slash my pinion gear keeps coming loose even when i tighten the grub screw all the way without stripping it. Is there anything that would cause this. Please and Thanks.

[@Rcstreetshop]

You should use any thread-locker on it (ex Loctite).....don't forget to degrease set screw before you put thread-locker on it.

[@lazesq]

Hello Roger and everyone, says to complete need the 7.2 battery, can I put a 2s lipo or do I need to change something ? Thank you

[@Nordlicht05]

Hello you may figured it out. A lipo do has a different connector. You will have to use an adapter oder solder everything equal. The re release ESC also has a jumper for NiMH and lipo. It will run in both jumper settings but you shouldn't run lipos down in voltage. The lipo setting prevents that. "Hopefully" the ESC will Stopp or gets first slower when the voltage is too low.

[@jodybanks5344]

I'm just going to say - looks like he's already had a few ! Jk sorry it was to easy and you lined it all up , someone was going to say it ? Hello is this mic on , thanks folks I'll be here all week .

[@traybuk]

Last spring I bought an original '87 Vanessa's Lunchbox, which was my introduction to hobby-grade R/C. I have since moved on to a Stampdede, a Slash, & I've got my eye on a Axial & a Losi stadium trucks respectively. As stated the Lunchbox is a lot of fun, but it wears thin pretty quickly. I've seen people do some incredible mods but for my money I would just prefer a more modern vehicle. Mine is sitting up in a closet with a broken link. Having said all that, it is a good vehicle to get one excited about R/C vehicles in general. really good video of a Lunchbox in action here --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKaWoJ94a9ikbsk

[@Rcstreetshop]

There are a lot trucks out there, but Lunch Box is in the category of its own...classic RC! Always puts smile on your face when you ride it!
