Blimey, these Tamiya RCs take me back. I was OBSESSED, used to read the catalogue over and over again. My first car, as was probably everyone's, was the hornet. The first time that motor turned and the car came alive my heart was sold forever.

My first rc was a Tamiya Wild Willy. My first real wrenching experience, first soldering ever. Loved it! Turned 15, got a moped and started chasing girls for a couple of years while Willy spent time in a box. Got tired of the girls but pulled my Willy out anyway and stuffed a Kyosho Mega motor in it. Made crazy wheelies and had a run time of three minutes... Loved it even more!

The Lunch Box was my first hobby grade RC. I built it with my dad as a kid. I found it sitting in a box at my mom’s house and restored it. Now it’s part of the collection I’ve built for my own children.

Yes! I had one as a kid. When we finished building it I thought, we don’t need the wheelie bar. Took it out on the driveway, hit the gas, it immediately wheelied and flipped backwards on my freshly painted body 😂 Took my butt right back inside the house and mounted the wheelie bar!

The original Lunchbox was the first "kit" rc I ever had when I was a kid. Used to race it at the local tracks in the monster truck class. Against Monster Beetles and Blackfoots. I did pretty well with it. Ball bearings, adjustable gearing adaptor and the yellow CVS shocks we had back then. I'm 46 now and I want to get another one. I had such good times with it.

Bring back good old memories

As a kid back in the 80's I wanted and had the tamiya frog, it was the only one for me and I still love it now. But now in my 50's I have the tamiya lunchbox and have to say it is a properly fun truck, not as nimble as my frog obviously and it has the ability to roll very easily but it looks so good and loads of fun to use.

I had a Blackfoot in 1990, winter time so I made ramps out of snow. My best friend had a Midnight Pumpkin, which was faster and sturdier... He did an amazing electric blue paint job on it. I loved my Blackfoot, but it seems like the Pumpkin and Hornet were sturdier and faster, but man when that Blackfoot was done it looked amazing out of the box. I think the Lunch Box, Monster Beatle and Midnight Pumpkin were about the same chassis? We knew one kid that had a Clodbuster about 1 hour bike ride away from us, but we had to make the trip just to see that thing. It was a beast! Thanks for the memories.

Recently helped my father in law get back into RC by building a Tamiya Monster Beetle. He said it took him straight back to being a kid again, really enjoyed building it and it was.. Well.. Interesting to say the very least.. But he's now back into the hobby and looking for something faster RTR as he doesn't want to ruin the Beetle as its such a nostalgic trip for him! Just couldn't believe all the plastic bearings! But he enjoyed and loved every minute building it up and that very first run was incredible, knowing its all been built right and running with no issues!

Nice. I still have my kyosho optima and galaxy from new when i was a kid. Im 42 now. I think my dad loved it as much as i did. Complete with le mans gold motor, ball raced, and SC( yes pre E-sc era) and a handful of Ni-cads. I still call on the knowledge gained from building it when working on full size cars these days and understanding chassis dynamics, suspension etc. Great memories. These days i get my rc fix from building and flying fpv race drones which led to my current job hand making prototype surgical instruments/equipment to go inside beating hearts for cardiovascular research. Magic does happen when you truly love and are passionate about something. Thumbs up!

You just brought me back to my childhood from the 80’s! Never had one nor could afford it back then but I always used to go the toy/hobby store (very often) and glance at it thinking it looked so cool and envied people who had it. Thank you for this as I was able to live vicariously through your video and reminisce about that era!

My 3rd RC and my first NEW hobby grade RC. Painted the body red and the wheels white. Shaved the tires to make them lighter, hopped up the motor and battery, and drilled holes in the tub for weight reduction. It was so much fun, and surprisingly stable for being top heavy, and very capable off-road. also trimmed the springs and got a wheel bearing kit.

Love it! Lunchbox is one of the all time classics! I've modded mine so much it's not quite the same thing anymore but I still love it in it's own right. One of my favourites to use. I'm slowly building another one though which will only have hopups and not any drastic mods like the double wishbones and 4-link my current one has. Amusing to see people doubt the strength of the drivetrain. It's probably the most durable all plastic gearbox ever made for RC, especially considering it has no clutch. There's a guy with videos of one running 6s on youtube and even he has only had a couple of issues this whole time and the spares are cheap as chips.

I love the lunchbox. It was my first model to get back in the hobby 😅

Back in the late 90's, my parents bought 1/24 scale models. If I remember correctly, I had an airplane, a subaru, an apache helicopter. I never managed to put them together. Even if I did, the parts are all in the wrong place. In that single hobbyshop, I saw a lot of the bigger cars. Rc cars. I saw an elderly guy. Start one, it was noisy and it emitted smoke like a real car. I knew it right away it was powered by gas. I went to that shop as a college student in 2010. Bought 1/24 model cuz I still could not afford the RCs. I eventually managed to buy a tt02, then an hpi, an Xray. Thats how i got into the hobby. Now I had brushed/brushles and nitros in my collection.

man im 43 and i literally used to drool over the lunchbox as a kid

My first RC was/is a Tamiya Lunchbox. I acquired it in 1987. At the same time my brother got a gold chassis Team Associated RC10. My sport was running over his RC-10 whenever he got caught in tall grass (the only place where my Lunchbox could handle better than that buggy). Initially I wanted a Tamiya Pajero. Because of that and because I was saving up pennies it became an easy decision to buy the lunchbox when it was first released. The Lunchbox shares the chassis so later I bought a Pajero body and the parts to modify my Lunchbox into a Pajero, but I ended up converting it back as I preferred the Lunchbox's big tires. As my first RC it was a great start. My second RC was not nearly as good, a Kyosho Double Dare. With dual motors and four wheel steering it was quick, but with a 5 minute run time, a high center of gravity and dogbone munching axles it was always the truck that should have been better. Later I upgraded it to Kyosho USA-1 suspension which helped the roll over issues and the dogbone durability, but the steering servos of the day never had enough power. My third RC was a used Tamiya Kingcab. The reason it was used, the differential. When I started college all three trucks went into the closet. I finally pulled them out in 2018. Since my start the hobby totally changed. Futaba no longer corner's the transmitter/receiver market. Oil filled shocks and speed controls were now affordable. Differentials now take major punishment, Shaft drive won the four wheel drive debate so things like belts - chains - and dual motors are not in play. Crawling is a thing. Batteries can self-destruct and burn down your house. Bashing can now reach extreme levels. Almost everything needs a wheelie bar. Finally, there are many more manufacturers in the game. Thank you for your channel and keeping us up to speed on the ground vehicle side of the hobby. I look forward to your next Lunchbox update.

I noticed that the JLB Cheetah uses the same suspension parts front and rear which handles the steering part. Add some decent 2wd rear motor mounted gearboxes (still looking for those) and a custom aluminum chassis and I could finally have my Clodbuster killer. The Team Associated Stealth Transmission is the subject my current research. So much for RTR.

I wasn't sure of the batt had low amps despite having 7.6 v. It was still pretty fast, but wouldn't lift the front. I had not glued the tires to the wheels. They would spin and then lock tight.

Very cool build! One of the nicest I've seen, love the stance and the black is spot on 👍🍻
