58063 Tamiya Lunch Box
Tamiya’s 58063 Vanessa’s Lunch Box is one of my all time favourite Radio Controlled Cars by Tamiya. A unique twist on the monster truck theme, the Lunchbox has become one of Tamiyas best selling RC cars of all time too. The iconic yellow dodge van body shell coupled with those huge, oversized tyres makes the Lunch Box extremely attractive to all RC enthusiasts both young and old.
Originally released mid 1987, the 58063 Tamiya Lunch Box was and still is a very easy to build radio controlled car and was the first “proper” RC Car I ever owned. Strong yet simple ABS black plastic chassis with rear mounted, sealed gearbox with gear differential and standard 540 motor. Bouncy coil sprung shocks all round with independent wishbone suspension at the front make for a fun chassis to drive both on and off road.
The iconic body shell design is a detailed 1/12th scale representation of a real life Dodge van, constructed in strong white ABS plastic with chromed plastic side exhaust pipes, front grille and rear bumper. The shell is tougher than most ABS shells from Tamiya and can stand a lot of knocks and bumps making it perfectly suitable for recreational use in parks, back yards and on off road tracks too.
One thing we mustn’t forget with the Lunch Box is its built in capability to pull spectacular wheelies, with the built in rear wheelie bar keeping everything under control at the rear.
Original models are now quite collectable and hold their price well on Ebay etc. Only real weak points of this model are the body mounts which are known to be fragile. Replacement Aluminium Lunch Box Body Mounts can be found on Ebay quite regularly.
