Tamiya Lunch Box is no longer in our range

The Tamiya Lunch Box was the original wheelie monster truck from 1987 – an icon in the world of remote control. With its classic monster design, big wheels, and ability to perform the craziest wheelies, it quickly became a favorite among both beginners and collectors.

Although the model is now discontinued, we remember the Lunch Box as one of the most fun and legendary kit cars from Tamiya.

Product Description of Tamiya Lunch Box

The Tamiya Lunch Box - the original wheelie monster truck. Easy to build, easy to use, and all at a truly beginner-friendly price. Now it's back better than ever thanks to modern electronics.

NOTE THIS IS A KIT!

The Tamiya Lunch Box is back, and just like back in 1987, it offers classic monster design, big monster wheels, and the wildest monster wheelies when you hit the gas. 

You have to assemble your Lunch Box yourself. It's like assembling Technic Lego; just follow the manual, and after a few evenings at a leisurely pace, you'll have a cool, ready-to-drive Monster truck.

To be ready to drive, you need a radio set (with servo, battery, and charger) and ESC. Save 20% when purchased with the car!

Tips and Videos from the Workshop

When we build our own Tamiya cars, we often upgrade the original plastic bearings to real ball bearings. With ball bearings, your car rolls better, providing both more top speed and longer run time. It’s especially a great idea if you're tuning your Lunch Box with the big RS 540 Sport Tuned motor. For the Lunch Box, you need one set each of these - 1150 and 850. 

Tuning the Lunch Box? Upgrade to Tamiya RS 540 Sport Tuned for maximum top speed and epic wheelies. Need we say it's at your own risk?

If you’re unfortunate enough to need spare parts for your Tamiya car, you'll find all item numbers at the back of your manual. Once you have the correct item number, contact us at support@morfars.dk, and we can order spare parts for you.
