xzenonuk 79 Posted August 2, 2020 heya, added oil shocks to my lunchie earlier and put in a pair of cheapo led's on the front, we have been in the garden with both bashing about together and sometimes into each other lol we are really happy with how they are going and we both love the maddish handling front led's only cost 2.50 quid and slotted straight in, just using channel 3 on the receiver for power. both together and bought dad a pair of the led's as well. little 24 scale losi sct with a 2s lipo on top of mr lunchie and yep i drove him off from there a few times. vid of dads shiny pumpkin in the back garden 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakratfink 967 Posted August 9, 2020 Did you get Tamiya Oil Dampers or aftermarket ? I’ve got a Metallic Pumpkin like the one in the video there coming to me soon, just got a sweet deal on the EBay. I already have ball bearings and a Tamiya stock pack sized Lipo on the way. I figure oil shocks and the Ampro axle brace will be the next mods ( though I do think I might fancy some lights too ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holtzclaw 1 Posted August 28, 2020 Hi there, I've just bought the same shocks for my original lunch box, though not entirely sure how to fit them, particularly to the rear ball connectors. May I ask how you did it? Many thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2319 Posted August 28, 2020 You need metal U brackets for the top and the lower ends bolt into the plastic parts where the original damper fits , you need to remove the original brass ball as the dampers have a swivel ball fitted into them already . You will probably need to buy some hardware if you don't already have it , like bolts , brackets etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to be clear, the ball connector on the axle should be removed and I should bolt through the swivel ball in the damper? Just asking as I've seen a few videos where the swivel ball was removed from the damper, and it looked quite tricky to do. Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xzenonuk 79 Posted August 28, 2020 yeh i kept the swivel on the shock and removed the brass ball, i just put a bolt right through and a nut on the end to keep it secure, the kit should come with 4 of the u brackets for the tops new vid of dads pumpkin in the wet. for the top u brackets just put a screw/bolt through from the bottom and you can put a nut on the other end to hold it oh edit as you can see in the pic im using random washers as well on the top should be 4 of these in the kit https://www.modelsport.co.uk/tamiya-spring-mount-lunch-box-2-/rc-car-products/31566 that is the top mounts, same bag as the wheelie bar is in edit 2 : here is how a top shock mount looks but that one is on a 5th shock mod 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holtzclaw 1 Posted August 30, 2020 That's really useful, thanks for all the info! Managed to find four u brackets in my limited spares (my kit is now over 30yrs old), so that's a start, will have to source some extra bolts and wotnot. Love the vid, not sure I'm quite up for chucking it through the mud though! 😄 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
