Who Has Converted A Lunchbox To Run On Small Wheels

[tamiya monkey]

Ive got a lunchbox and i was woundering about putting brat wheels on it, firstly im guessing someone must have done it before, any pictures advice would be great, i would like a more scale looking truck, right im guessing grasshopper/hornet uprights at the front, nothing needed at rear to fit brat wheels and was going to fit a hornet pinion gear. have i missed anything.

That's about it, although I don't know if you will get the body to drop down low enough to keep it in proportion.

Hi mate

Thats just the same idea as the original pajero. All you need to do is raise the body mount holes on the shell thus lowering it on the chassy. Just watch the clearance for the rear wheels in the rear arches as they will catch if you dont reduce the rear axle movement.

I did this as a kid with my Lunch Box though Brat tires were scare in those days. The Pajero previously pictured is the forefather of the 'Box. Its possible to "de-evolve" the LB by removing the lower chassis deck (which also serves as the battery cradle) and front A-arm mount. The old Pajero A-arm mounting holes are still up inside the chassis. The only problem is the battery has to be relocated elsewhere.

Oh yeah, forgot about that bit... Call me stupid or what?

Yes, remove the bottom bit, D Something, but you will need grasshopper or hornet gearbox pivots.
