Black Edition Lunch Box with Vintage Character

The Tamiya 57849 - 1/12 RC RTR XB Lunch Box Black Edition combines a retro silhouette with modern RTR convenience. The black painted ABS body and chrome wheels refresh the original Lunch Box look while preserving the model's iconic profile.

Robust, Easy-to-Use Drive System

Built around a 2WD RWD configuration, this Lunch Box uses a solid axle and gear-based differential to provide steady power delivery. The independent front suspension and solid rear axle keep handling predictable, and friction dampers reduce the need for frequent tuning.

Set Up and Go

Why Hobbyists Like It

Light sand can be attempted but fine, dry sand will tax the motor and drivetrain; keep runs short and clean components after exposure to sand.
Aftermarket shocks are an option, but you should confirm fitment and mounting points since the stock setup uses friction dampers.
The chrome finish is durable for normal use, though repeated impacts or heavy off-road abuse may chip the finish over time.
The included TEU-105BK ESC is configured for standard brushed setups and is compatible with typical 7.2V packs supplied for this model.
Yes, plastic bushings are common and can be replaced with OEM parts; regular inspection will extend drivetrain life.
