Let’s see your Lunchbox

Here's the driver.  Not much to look at, but.. well there it is.  I'm using a Kyosho G20 motor.  I've removed the stickers to avoid permanent blasphemy and applied Tamiya ones.  Speed isn't a concern really, I just wanted to be able to outrun the curious children at our local park who seem badword bent on chasing it whenever my wife and I take it there.

To be honest, I never understood the Kyosho VS Tamiya thing. I both have Kyoshos and Tamiyas and love either for what they are.

If it comes to pricing VS quality for e.g. the Avante or other Tamiya ReRe kits though, thats a badword of another story. Particularly in comparison to Kyoshos ReRes. 

Sorry for getting offtopic. :D

No worries, it was a (bad) joke on my part aimed mostly at Tamiya purists.  I presently have two Kyosho models and crave many more of them.  Admittedly, I find it a bit tacky to have "Kyosho" splathered all over the motor for that Lunchbox when I can be a bit more creative and put Tamiya stickers on it instead.

They all seem to do that until you use the clodbuster and they catch up with it and trip over it injuring themselves in the process, but it's not the parents fault for letting them run after your £400 truck..

It grip rolls on the tarmac unless its wet so the roof edges are battered and scraped now. I've had a few goes at the postal racing tracks too. This is my Lunchie in it's natural racing environment...

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

Very cool... how well does that front fake chrome hold paint? Just curious cause it’s a slick shiny surface.... and where did you get those tires?

I think it’s matte black etching primer so seems to have held ok

wheels were from AliExpress - they are poor.

i wouldn’t use them to run as the lunchbox adaptors are barely attached to the wheel hubs
