Thirty years later.

Post by sandkil »

The first time I saw a Lunchbox was outside the LHS rippin' up gravel. I was around ten years old.
Well it was finaly time to get one. It's a kit as I had all I needed at home except for a fresh battery. So here is my first basher.
Tamiya CVA dampers.
Futaba s3003 servo with kimbrough servo saver.
Front shock brace is a turnbuckle from a AE T2 truck.
Third rear shock is a AE 0.52" gold shock.
Vintage brushed Vantage Engineering stock motor.
Radio is an old Futaba 3PM-FM.
