Introduction to the Lunch Box Junior

The Tamiya Lunch Box Junior from the Wild Mini 4WD series presents a diminutive take on monster truck styling. It blends quirky visuals with a straightforward chassis, making it appealing to collectors and casual builders alike.

Distinctive Truck Body and Visual Appeal

The model adopts a playful truck shell that captures the spirit of classic monster trucks in miniature form. The oversized wheels increase its presence and give the kit a distinctive, display-ready appearance.

Chassis Details and Drive Mechanism

The Lunch Box Junior employs a centre-mounted motor combined with a sidewinder gear setup to drive both axles. This arrangement prioritises stability and reliable running for non-competitive use.

Compatibility and Intended Use

This release is aimed at theme-based enjoyment rather than high-performance upgrades. It is compatible with basic Tamiya circuits and is best for relaxed track sessions or collecting rather than competitive racing.

Assembly and Finish

Designed for ease of assembly, the kit features snap-fit parts and requires no cement. Components are moulded in colour, which helps deliver an attractive finish without mandatory painting.

Specifications

  • Body Style: Monster Truck
  • Chassis Type: Sidewinder Gear Setup
  • Wheel Diameter: 52mm
  • Assembly: Snap-fit, no cement required

The Tamiya Lunch Box Junior is an enjoyable, low-effort model for those who prefer characterful design and simple assembly over performance tuning.

Ordered 3 Tamiya Mini 4wd Hyundai kits which all arrived together securely packed within a week of ordering. This wasn’t the first time I’ve ordered from rcjaz.com and hopefully won’t be the last. Ordering is simple and always sent extremely quick
Yes. Built as supplied, it handles indoor track use well. The chassis and tyres tolerate normal wear from regular, casual running.
Replacement parts for Tamiya kits are commonly available. Check authorised parts lists for the Wild Mini 4WD series to source compatible items if needed.
Customisation options are limited by the compact chassis and sidewinder layout. Visual modifications like paint and accessories work well, while major performance changes are constrained.
Yes. Its snap-fit design and modest build time make it a nice gift project for someone who enjoys model assembly without advanced modelling skills.
