My new LunchBox

Wanted another Electric R/C car that i could take on holiday aswell as my new OnRoad car but i could use off-Road ,so i bought the Tamiya LunchBox monster Truck which cost £79 and came this morning while i was still in bed i also need to get some paint for the shell but not sure what colour to have it.

I was going to do a build progress but go carried away building it,still will be doing one on the nitro truck when i come to build it also you will notice that the tyres are on the wrong way but have corrected it now.


Heres some pics of it.

Dynamite,when I first read that caption I thought that you were on about a novel lunch box to put your sandwiches in ! what an un-usual name for a model,but it certainly looks up to Tamiyas usual high standards.
Very nice indeed.

They are easy to build and i haven't built a tamyia car for over 12 years till today and i nearly forgot how to read the manual to build it but remembered in the end,you only get the motor and ESC with them and you have to buy the tranmitter and one servo and your batts and charger also paint for the shell.

I though the title would get someone thinking of a sandwich LunchBox and it is a un-usual name for a R/C car.

MMM ....It does indeed look like a souped up version of The Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo.......and that would be a good colour scheme to do as it's easy to do and easy enough to find pics of......after all they did chase Monsters......Monster Truck.....geddit ...???
