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 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.

Found one of these on ebay for $123 free shipping from Japan, bought it.
Amazon has them for $140.

Wet sand with 3500 grit sponge, wash and soak in Dawn, rinse thoroughly.
Tamiya non-Fine grey primer.
I'm thinking about painting this, not-black. I like the TS-102 Cobalt Green, like the Squash Van looks.
Will decide tomorrow.

Need help with my LUNCH BOX

First post
Hello. New R/C guy here.
Totally late to the game. I always wanted a LUNCHBOX as a kid. Finally bought one. Sadly, I cannot get it to work. Anyone have insight on what to do to get it to work correctly?
Thank you!
Last post
UPDATE:
Thank you.
The problem was that the brass gear on the motor was rubbing against the housing.
Fixed the problem and now the truck is FIRE!

Bought the kit from Extreme Hobby Shop in Spring Hill, TN. If you're in the Nashville area, stop on by and say hello to Matthew, the shop owner!
I've been aiming to get a Lunch Box for a while now, saw the new black edition and really dug the look...

Very nice similar in mods to my 2 lunchboxes. Very smooth paint job not like mine. :lol:

first time tamiya ever molded this chassis in white and i like it might have to get one, but not really a tamiya collector anymore.

They do look cool, they are designed for r/c football so there are plenty of extra stickers included.
This is Jamie Booths Lunchbox at the IconicRC revival meeting.

Lunch (Boom) Box / Blizzard...

Hey all, heres a Blizzard project that started out for the snow, and now totally meant for the sand. I added a Royal Crusher roll bar and lights, and a Hyperdrive belt drive setup. I narrowed the tracks down to about 2 wide to give the wheels more...
