kontemax 1725 Posted April 20, 2014 It's nice, it has some of the mods I'm planning to do on mine. http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/155742-tamiya-lunchboxmidnight-pumpkin-owners-club/page-28 Max 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya1/10 382 Posted April 20, 2014 Yeah, thats how it should be with the sway bars, rubber wheelie wheels, al shocks, and those extra bracing rods. Kind of wish T put out those hop ups so one can have an entery set up all the way to a fully decked out version. Metal parts always give it a more serious look.

backtomyroots 432 Posted April 21, 2014 Considering that the Lunchbox was designed by Tamiya to be a wheelie popping machine, why do people go to such incredible lengths to make it driveable like an actual track star ?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to be the best, just to be different, just to get under our skin:-D:-D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kontemax 1725 Posted April 21, 2014 I believe the Pumpkin and Lunchbox can be more and more stable and remaining a wheelie vans.The side roll is really boring.If you have a wheelie Vanessa Lunchbox with stable sides I think you will enjoy it better.

zomboided 374 Posted April 21, 2014 That's a beautifully pimped lunchie. I've gotten the usual mods on mine and it still pops wheelies and is lot so fun, but is much more drivable and less prone to roll in the corners. I even waterproofed it, anticipating some snow action this past winter and it just rained a lot.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Willy Speed Shop 73 Posted April 23, 2014 That is one very tough lunchie , the chassis work is brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XV Pilot 1936 Posted June 9, 2014 If the Pumpkin lowrider sells well, I think there is a reasonable chance they will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tamiya1/10 382 Posted June 9, 2014 Perhaps Tamiya should do this after pumpkin... Kyosho used to have something similar called the moon van. if memory served me right was nitro 2 spd with reverse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hazzer 12 Posted June 11, 2014 Thanks for the kyosho mooneyes info... still I'd prefer lunchbox hardbody n electric power. Just me. Never had/liked any version of tamiya pumpkin before, but I'll buy the lowrider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
