Tamiya Lunch Box 58347: Retro van meets off-road fun
Introduced in 1987, the Tamiya Lunch Box 58347 has become a staple among R/C fans for its unusual minivan silhouette mounted on oversized monster truck tires. It blends nostalgic styling with capable running gear, making it a standout on lawns, parking lots and club tracks.
Classic look with a custom canvas
The styrol body is tough and forgiving, while offering an easy surface for paint and graphics. Many modelers personalise their Lunch Box with bold paint schemes, decals and accessories, turning each build into a one-off showcase.
Solid mechanics for lively driving
Under the body the ABS bathtub chassis provides a durable platform, with front swing axle independent suspension and a rear rolling rigid setup for reliable handling. The sealed rear gearbox with differential helps deliver predictable cornering on mixed surfaces.
Big wheels, big attitude
Mounted on 115mm diameter by 71mm wide monster tires, the Lunch Box has the clearance and traction to tackle rough grass and hardpack. Fit the included wheelie bar and you can pull controlled wheelies that draw attention at events.
Accessible for new and seasoned pilots
Whether you are just getting into R/C or collecting vintage kits, the Lunch Box is approachable. It ships designed around a Type 540 motor and a high performance ESC for a satisfying on-track experience with moderate tuning potential.
