Lukas666 39 Posted February 13, 2021 Just like to see what others have done with they’re lunchboxes. It’s awesome to see all the different colors and mods. Here’s mine, pretty stock aside from Fast Eddy’s bearings, headlight kit, oil shocks and Dynamite 20T mtr 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfdogstinkus 1876 Posted February 13, 2021 My kids were around 4 and 6 when I first did the lunchboxes, I asked them what they wanted and helped them draw it on and let them colour it in with sharpies.. (Ok, I might have drawn most of it, and I did do the mini one) Good fun all round and plenty memories made.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markbt73 5290 Posted February 14, 2021 Well, it used to look like this: ...but then I did this. And it ended up looking like this. And it sat around looking like that for a long time. But just recently, I got it out and started tinkering around with it, and right now it looks like this. Haven't yet decided if the "gasser" look is going to stay or not. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathon Gillham 4595 Posted February 14, 2021 Mine looks like a stock black edition, because it is other than invisible bearings. Do oil shocks make much difference? I have some from my Top Force so thereis no cost other than a bit of time to put them on, is it worth it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cephas 529 Posted February 14, 2021 I think wheelbase is about 3mm different, so not noticeable. I used magnetic body mounts front and rear rather than try to use the existing side mounts, all straight forward really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
