I got the hornet when i was 14 back in the 80s and had always wanted a lunchbox. Here i am at 48 in japan thanks to the army and one day while walking around in Tokyo i happened to RANDOMLY walk by a Tamiya playmodel factory (and with the power of adult money lol) i now am the proud owner of a black edition lunchbox!!!!!!

G’day Tom, AMPRO have lots of great mods for the Lunchbox. Especially one to give the Lunchbox proper double wishbone front steering! Great build. I got mine in the 90s too, with bearings, a lovely flouro lime green.

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, I need to check them out!

[@mitymike]

AMPRO engineering makes a few good suspension mods for the front and rear. They fix most of the Lunch box's quirks.

The original Lunchbox was the first "kit" rc I ever had when I was a kid. Used to race it at the local tracks in the monster truck class. Against Monster Beetles and Blackfoots. I did pretty well with it. Ball bearings, adjustable gearing adaptor and the yellow CVS shocks we had back then. I'm 46 now and I want to get another one. I had such good times with it.

[@TomleyRC]

Awesome fun! Never too old for a Tamiya! (I’m 42)

[@vinceruland9236]

My buddy raced a midnight pumpkin and I raced a Blackfoot when we were kids. So much fun

[@johnlangley7521]

Are you sure they wernt MRP yellow shocks ? The original shocks were just chrome plated junk with a long screw shaft, no oil damping at all.

[@patrickm6000]

@@johnlangley7521 very sure. The original yes they were like you said for sure. I changed them out to the yellow plastic oil filled shocked Tamiya made. Maybe not called CVS... But they were tamyia. Cv shocks I think they were called.

[@rajamohdnaimrajanazarudin8623]

Bring back good old memories

[@ValleyRC]

Love it! Lunchbox is one of the all time classics! I've modded mine so much it's not quite the same thing anymore but I still love it in it's own right. One of my favourites to use. I'm slowly building another one though which will only have hopups and not any drastic mods like the double wishbones and 4-link my current one has. Amusing to see people doubt the strength of the drivetrain. It's probably the most durable all plastic gearbox ever made for RC, especially considering it has no clutch. There's a guy with videos of one running 6s on youtube and even he has only had a couple of issues this whole time and the spares are cheap as chips.

[@TomleyRC]

I’ve heard the lunchbox drivetrain is really strong as well. 3s will test it

[@Triggered-RC]

Try an AMPRO chassis brace instead of the 5th shock.

[@acereport8939]

The Lunch Box was my first hobby grade RC. I built it with my dad as a kid. I found it sitting in a box at my mom’s house and restored it. Now it’s part of the collection I’ve built for my own children.

[@TomleyRC]

Awesome to find it again!

[@Xandro_B20]

This brings back memories. My cousin would let me drive the lunchbox while drives the Blackfoot. My parents couldn’t afford it. Lucky my cousin was well off.

[@TomleyRC]

Blackfoot is a lovely truck

[@gopium1976]

My friend had the lunchbox in school and I had the Blackfoot. Writ off my Blackfoot by hitting a kerb. Wish I still had it now though so I could rebuild it. 😒

[@philthyco1]

Tamiya makes kits..You then make the kit your own by whatever hop ups you choose..Cheers

[@PeteWylieRC]

Oh yeah I enjoyed that Phil. The Lunchbox is one of my absolute faves. I missed it the first time around because I'd stopped doing the hobby by then but this was the one that got me back into the hobby in 2012. Your setup looks just right and similar to how I run mine. I use the Tamiya short shock set which work really well but expensive for what they are. I've just ordered some cheap Chinese ones for my other one but they may be crap. Hard to get ones with soft enough springs at the back. Anyway top fun 😁

[@TomleyRC]

First time around you were probably way to old for toys... haha... 😅😅😅. These Fastrax are really nice quality and only £13 a pair. You can get a spring set as well for £4.99. Comes with 3 different rates. I’m hoping the soft ones are just right 😎👍.

Monster trucks are one of my two favorite things. The other is best not mentioned here.😂

[@TomleyRC]

Haha

[@jub856]

Don’t do the 5th shock mod, order the AmPro Engineering chassis brace. You lose the axle slap and gain articulation

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, I’ll look at that

[@SpeedSyko]

I’ve got a kit unopened. I tear out all the new electronics from my new cars. I wasn’t going to go brushless but I’m going to now! Just the name of it, we didn’t get the joke when we were younger. Lol, our rich kid had a rc10. I had the Marui Hunter, cheapest at the time, 2 best friends had monster beetle and lunch box. They both died so I’m doing tribute builds. Found all 3! Just bought the Tamiya repops. Marui went out of business in 85 I believe. That was hard to get. Took years of getting all the parts. Cost me double the price of an xmaxx. Worth it for nostalgia. Thanks for the memories and built advise! 👊🔥💯

[@PeterOekvist]

My first rc was a Tamiya Wild Willy. My first real wrenching experience, first soldering ever. Loved it! Turned 15, got a moped and started chasing girls for a couple of years while Willy spent time in a box. Got tired of the girls but pulled my Willy out anyway and stuffed a Kyosho Mega motor in it. Made crazy wheelies and had a run time of three minutes... Loved it even more!

[@matthewgribble939]

Haha I had one. Had to put drag rails at the back to stop it from flipping over once u boosted it…..thanks for the memories….

[@jackthecat6225]

Yeah, if you've never owned a lunchbox, I don't care if how old you are, you really need to try one out. Tamiya has this uncanny talent of engineering that can make their kits and cars more fun and appealing than they appear which is why they have been crushing it for so long. But it's a toy! Yes it is, but do not underestimate how much fun you will have with it.

[@zacharykoeppel2722]

Yeah, would be popular I think

Recently helped my father in law get back into RC by building a Tamiya Monster Beetle. He said it took him straight back to being a kid again, really enjoyed building it and it was.. Well.. Interesting to say the very least.. But he's now back into the hobby and looking for something faster RTR as he doesn't want to ruin the Beetle as its such a nostalgic trip for him! Just couldn't believe all the plastic bearings! But he enjoyed and loved every minute building it up and that very first run was incredible, knowing its all been built right and running with no issues!

Having more fun with editing these days, Phil? I'm sure enjoying the punchiness. GREAT music choice for the build segment - in fact, great music all around. Heavy distorted guitars will open my eyes every time! :-) I have a screencap from this vid to share on your fb page, Phil.

[@JohnVC]

I had a Blackfoot in 1990, winter time so I made ramps out of snow. My best friend had a Midnight Pumpkin, which was faster and sturdier... He did an amazing electric blue paint job on it. I loved my Blackfoot, but it seems like the Pumpkin and Hornet were sturdier and faster, but man when that Blackfoot was done it looked amazing out of the box. I think the Lunch Box, Monster Beatle and Midnight Pumpkin were about the same chassis? We knew one kid that had a Clodbuster about 1 hour bike ride away from us, but we had to make the trip just to see that thing. It was a beast! Thanks for the memories.

[@master-gbig1140]

Tomley you need to invest $236.00 in a Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer and download Design Spark Mechanical CAD. This way you can up grade that Lunchbox in ways never heard of. Trust me, if you're going to upgrade the model it will just break. It's made out of ABS Plastic and you need to reprint the drive train out of Nylon-X Composite. You're going to have a lot of fun with the truck, but; you're going to smash it to smithereens. Thanks for sharing your dreams are mine. I had a Tamiya Big Foot and drove it to death.

Tomley rc Don't do the fifth shock mod buy a 3d printed Brace instead less hacking up of your lunchbox. I got one a few months ago and made mine brushless with a castle 5700kv motor and a hobbywing esc. Didn't bother upgrading yet as it's fun standard. But I did make a battery tray for lipo, where you have put your esc. Great vid just be careful of the windscreen on rollovers 👍. Best fun rc for the money ever👍👍.
