The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: A Wheelie-Popping Legend in Stealth Mode! The Tamiya Lunch Box has been a fan-favorite since the 80s, and this "Black Edition" takes that classic, fun-loving personality and gives it a sleek, aggressive edge. At Hobby Hideaway, we consider the Lunch Box a "must-have" for any RC collection—it’s not about precision racing; it’s about pure, unadulterated joy. Known for its iconic "Vanessa’s Lunch Box" decals and its hilarious ability to pop wheelies at the pull of a trigger, this van is a hit with kids and veteran hobbyists alike. The Black Edition features a stunning black molded body and matching wheels, making it look just as good sitting still as it does bouncing over backyard obstacles.
Monster Performance & Durable Design Don't let the "toy" looks fool you—this is a hobby-grade kit built to take a beating. The Lunch Box is designed around a sturdy box-type frame and features heavy-duty coil spring damped suspension to handle jumps and rough terrain. Its oversized 115mm diameter monster tires provide massive ground clearance and the grip needed to scramble over almost anything. The electronics are tucked away, and the sealed gearbox features a differential to help with cornering—though you'll likely spend more time on two wheels than four!
