Tamiya Lunchbox For Sale

[wildey 0]

When I was a teenager I had a Tamiya Lunchbox that I couldn't really afford to spend any money on or repair, so it got "swapped" with a school mate or something similar. Last Christmas, when in my mid 30's I decided to buy myself another kit and build it again. (maybe a cheap mide life crisis - who knows).

Anyhow, I did a couple of the things I couldn't do 20 years back - the race bearings for the wheels and the oil shocks kit. Bt other than that it's standard. I've got the box, the charger, the radio gear etc etc. If memory serves me correctly then it has had only 6 full charges / runs in the past year. The shell is scuffed, the paintjob well below average (I didn't have any patience then or now) but it's all in working order. I've just replaced the little springs at the back (that always seem to break), and she's ready to be sold.

Truth is, I'm not 15 any more, and it wasjust a fad for me to buy one, because I could I guess. However it would be much better going to someone that's going to enjoy, modify, use etc than sit on my shelf.

Rather than go straight to Ebay I thought I would put it on here first and see if anyone was interested in buying it. I'll be quite happy to send photos, answer questions etc, and more than happy to listen to offers - I really don't know it's 2nd hand value.

Thanks for looking

Chris.
