One of our iconic R/C models, the Lunch Box, has been loved by R/C kit builders for a long time! Fans have enjoyed this kit in creative ways, including making their own unique customizations to the chassis. This kit takes that spirit of customization by creating the Lunch Box EVO edition with features such as updated suspension and longer tread and wheelbase.
Since its introduction in 1987, the Lunch Box has been popular for its boxy form and comical driving style. This model enhances the driving performance of the Lunch Box. Overall length 394mm, overall width 297mm, overall height 222mm. While retaining the basic box-type frame configuration, the suspension has been strengthened. The front uses a double wishbone suspension, and the rear uses a 3-link rigid suspension with a stabilizer. In addition, a shock tower bar has been installed on the front. Compared to the original Lunch Box, the tread has been widened by 10mm and the wheelbase has been lengthened by 10mm. This improves road-following ability and handling. The steering tie rods are of the standard, equal-length wiper arm type. Deep-rim one-piece wheels are fitted with large 115mm diameter lug-pattern tires. The realistic body, inspired by popular American custom vans, is made of reinforced resin. It’s bolted to the chassis at four points from the side, increasing mounting strength and lowering the mounting position by 7mm compared to the original. An aluminum wheelie bar with rollers is fitted to the rear. On grippy surfaces, rapid acceleration allows for wheelies with the front wheels lifted.
