Tamiya Lunch Box RC Monster Truck 1/12 Scale - 58347

Tamiya's 58347 Lunch Box is a 1/12 scale 2WD radio control monster truck kit, one of the most recognisable and enduring designs in Tamiya's RC lineup. First released in the 1980s and reissued multiple times due to its popularity, the Lunch Box stands out with its distinctive van body, high-riding suspension, and chunky balloon tyres. This is a kit, not a ready-to-run model — you build it yourself, which makes it a genuinely rewarding project for hobbyists who enjoy the construction process as much as the driving. The 1/12 scale RC monster truck is well suited to casual bashing on smooth to moderately rough surfaces, and its simple 2WD drivetrain keeps maintenance straightforward.
