Revisiting the Iconic Tamiya Lunch Box: Blue Style Edition
The Tamiya 57861 1/12 RC XB RTR Lunch Box Blue Style is a throwback to the classic 1987 model, now refreshed with a striking blue aesthetic. Known for its distinctive boxy minivan design, this special edition is not just about looks; it offers an engaging driving experience that appeals to both collectors and active RC hobbyists.
A Classic Design with Modern Flair
This Ready-To-Run (RTR) version stands out with a vivid blue molded ABS plastic body, complemented by matching blue plated wheels. The contrasting white accents further enhance its visual appeal, making it a head-turner on any terrain. The Lunch Box's elevated chassis and monster truck wheels ensure that it maintains its iconic stance, reminiscent of its original release.
Performance That Delivers
Underneath its eye-catching exterior, the Lunch Box Blue Style is equipped with a 2WD gearbox drivetrain, powered by a reliable 540-brushed motor. Its independent front suspension and solid axle rear provide stability across different terrains, while the friction dampers and large 115mm tires absorb shocks effectively. This setup makes it versatile enough for multi-purpose use, from backyard bashing to off-road adventures.
Ready for Action
The Tamiya Lunch Box comes pre-installed with a Finespec 2.4GHz R/C system, ensuring responsive control without interference. The inclusion of a wheelie bar adds to its playful character, allowing for fun stunts while maintaining stability. With an antennaless receiver, the setup remains sleek and hassle-free.
