| description | Inspired by some awesome Lunchbox-interpretations on TC, I decided to change the look of mine. Some olive drab and german grey paint, XR311 stickers and mesh and voilą: The Combat Box!
The original body and the chrome wheels were already bruised from some serious bashing last summer, so I kept those for running.
The chassis itself features countless modifications: aluminium oil shocks, 3rd shock mod, chassis brace, wheelbar brace, ball bearings, Novak XBR EX8.5 brushless system, etc.
It's so much fun!

Thanks mate! Just go ahead, there can't be too much Combat Boxes!
This is the best alternate look I have ever seen for a Lunch Box, absolutely love it! I hope you dont mind but I am planning on doing something very similar to my own kit.
Awesome! Very nice job!
Whatever you like, go ahead!
Since I've listed this as one of my favorites...it's one of my favorites of the list of favorites. Would it be lame to paint my LB in the same color?
I'm going to go ahead and say this is my personal favorite LunchBox I've ever seen! I'm a fan of army green (I just finished a Subaru Brat in the same color) so to see it on the LunchBox is awesome! Thanks for confirming my thoughts that this would be a great color scheme! I guess I should try my other idea on my LB....light pink!
Just love this paintjob for the LunchBox
killer idea, so simple but looks so right on!
@Wyoming: Thanks, I think it looks more scale this way!
Had an XR311 back in the late 70's , this is a sweeeeet mod, like it lots!
I never get tired of the vintage US military look of good old OD and white stars, nice one, I keep thinking I should paint my real Dodge pickup this color
Like the military look.
Thanks all for the nice comments! The wheelie bar brace helps a bit, but I mostly drive it in a nearby sand pit. No wheelies there, but the use for lots of power!
Get a nice fat pair of wheelie bar wheels on there
Thats really very nice!
It's insanely quick and beyond control, but funnn!
Nice Dante how does it go with the EX8.5?
