Tamiya Lunch Box - Black Edition

Post by GreenBar0n »

Amazon has the Lunch Box Black Edition for $116, bought it. Not sure why these are so inexpensive.

Likely no esc (I realize it says there is one included). Still a great bargain and you can get a better esc for the difference. I bought a hornet last year off Amazon as it was quite a bit cheaper, same deal no esc

The 58546A comes with the ESC. The 58546 (linked) does not. That item is the correct model number, but they copied and pasted the wrong description.

The Lunchbox got the same kind of "scaling" as the Clod and such got, with sticking huge tires on smaller than advertised bodies. The van body is around 1:13.5 width, and around 1:15.5 long (assuming medium WB 1:1). It would make a great, small build, but finding a chassis and scale wheels may be a challenge. :)

I was thinking more of a monster comical A-Team van with the black Lunchbox. I think B. A. Baracus would approve, even though it's a Dodge not a GMC van.

The Mr. T doll is a 12" figure, making it a 1:6 scale.

Just the 1/6 head on the 1/10 scale body, might be close.

I have been using this TR3 polish for my classic VW for decades now, best single-stage original paint polish I've found.

The Lunch Box arrived today. Had the bearings waiting.

I've got to stop this at some point, it's getting weird.

Maybe after the next two.

You haven't gotten nearly enough to qualify as weird.

That's in one month though, and there's one more on the way. As long as 7 in a month is normal, I'm happy to hear it.

I'm at 42, plus 4 more partial builds. On top of that, I'm looking at several more.
