And you thought your Lunchbox was small...

Post by SmallScaleSmitty »

I was cleaning out my closet and found this from years back. I believe they sold them at KB toys and had a few different Tamiya models. 1/32nd scale I think and were called 'Juniors'. Has a little Mabuchi motor and runs on two AA batteries. Not R/C of course. :?

Came with removable plastic pegs for the rims to run it tilted, lol.

Hahaha...Its Tamiya Monster Mini 1/32. It can be modified into rc with some parts from Tamiya. Simple forward, reverse, left and right. I've been racing them till to date (just won the First Placing for Tamiya Pro Mini 4WD race last Sunday) :lol: . Still have a few NIB now. Its comes with torque gear ratio capable to climbing 40 degrees. Change it to High Speed gears and you'll be surprise with the speed!
My collections:
Nikko Brat, Nikko Dictator II, Nikko Thunder Eagle, Kyosho Pure Ten Nitro, Associated RC10, Associated RC10T, Associated RC10 Graphite, Associated B4, Tamiya Tamtech 1/24 Porsche 962C, Tamiya Striker, Tamiya TRF 501X WCE.

Nice mini Lunchbox. I've got a couple of these. I detailed the Unimog and weathered it with a Tamiya weathering kit.
