Heritage model: Tamiya 57749 XB Lunch Box revisited

The Tamiya 57749 XB Lunch Box brings classic RC character into a ready-to-run package so you can get out and drive without delay. Supplied fully assembled with authentic paint and trim, the van makes a strong visual statement whether on display or out bashing. Its distinctive yellow finish and metal-led detailing are instantly recognisable to enthusiasts.

Purpose-built chassis and suspension layout

The chassis is a rugged box frame tuned for lasting use. Rear-wheel drive works with an independent front swing axle and rear coil spring suspension to tackle uneven surfaces. The oversized 115mm monster tyres provide cushioning and traction, while a fully enclosed gearbox and differential help keep grit out of moving parts.

Fun handling and stunt-ready setup

Wheelies are easy to perform with this model, and the supplied wheelie bar lets you control height and balance. Power is delivered by a Type 540 motor with the TEU-101 electronic speed controller for straightforward throttle feel and predictable response.

Light damp conditions are fine, but avoid deep puddles and prolonged exposure to water since electronics and bearings benefit from drying and inspection afterwards.
Yes, the polycarbonate shell can be painted with appropriate paints. Use masking for details and a proper clear to protect graphics if required.
Inspect tyres and suspension for wear, clear debris from the gearbox vents, and check battery connectors and transmitter batteries before the next outing.
