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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Tamiya Lunch Box 58347 remains a favourite for those who appreciate vintage looks combined with practical off-road capability and upgrade potential.
