Tamiya Lunch Box

The Tamiya Lunch Box is a 1/12 scale monster truck kit. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.

The body is styrol, so it takes knocks better than a hard shell.

Tamiya supply a Type 540 motor and an electronic speed controller in the box.
