Old-school Lunch Box styled for off-road use

Launched in 1987, the Tamiya Lunch Box 58347 combines a retro minivan silhouette with monster truck attitude. Its unusual profile and strong running gear make it a talk piece at meets and ideal for relaxed off-road sessions.

Design that invites customisation

The styrol bodyshell is built to withstand impacts and accepts paint and detailing easily, so many enthusiasts personalise their models with bespoke schemes and extras to reflect individual taste.

Proven layout for reliable handling

The ABS bathtub chassis forms a sturdy base, coupled with a front swing axle independent system and rear rolling rigid arrangement to keep the model steady. The sealed rear gearbox with a differential provides controllable turning behaviour.

Chunky tyres for clearance and grip

The Lunch Box rides on 115mm diameter by 71mm wide tyres which give good ground clearance and traction across grass and compact trails. The included wheelie bar adds practicality for stunt runs.

Suitable for builders and collectors

From first-time kit assemblers to seasoned collectors seeking a vintage feel, the Lunch Box is approachable. It includes a Type 540 motor and a high performance ESC; you will need to add your radio and battery.
