    Today we take a Tamiya Lunchbox (Black edition) and turn it into a Pick Up
    How did we cut the shell?
    Was it easy to do and did it cut well?
    Does the shell hold up to this?
    Is the Tamiya Lunchbox the most versatile RC?

    Nice work you guys. Peter Smith kindly made me a Lunchbox pickup shell which is rather cool. He used the back of the van as the back of the cab so it's got a curve to it. Love the idea of putting the little Lunchbox on top 😁👍👍

      They are versatile and using the root like that is a good idea, I was thinking of using the roof piece as limited edition RC So & So Soap dishes 🤔🤣😂👍

    What a superb episode lads!
    Great work Chief..... that turned out superb, top job.
    Wow, that lunchie is like the rc car doctor who with all those regenerations!
    I wonder what it will be next time around, as long as it doesn't come back as a femail, or a......... well, let's not go down that route eh?
    I'm sure you catch my drift! 😉
    I'm suprised how stable that was with little junior on its bed, looked great in action.
    Cool content guys, very enjoyable viewing. 👍 👍 👍

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  Місяць тому

      I think it has a couple more regenerations in it, but I will make sure it is retired if it ever gets to Capaldi, as we are not here to spread ‘The Message’
      It is a bit touching cloth when it comes to hard turns but it did ok, I did wonder about a slower motor, but we will mull that over 👍

    Yessssss! My favorite morph of this one yet. I've been "patiently" waiting for someone (so glad it was you guys!) to make a body like this.
    If you're unaware, from 1964 to 1970, Dodge made the A-100. It was either a Van, (almost a cab over engine design btw) or it had a bed like a pickup truck, like what you've done here. Google the A-100 and be prepared to fall in love with the ugliest, coolest thing you've ever seen.

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  Місяць тому +1

      It did bring a fighter plane up on first google, but yes I see exactly what you mean, that A-100 has a real charm to it, feels like a good independent company should have one. Glad you like this look, we have been mulling over it for a while!

      ​@@RCsoandso I love all the weird stuff, man. I'm a contrarian. If the masses are flocking to it, I'm running the other way. The coolest stuff, is the original stuff that no one is doing. For example, the Angela Lansbury version. That was fuckin hilarious, and a well executed salute to an old lady I was forced to watch because my mom was waaay into "Murder, She Wrote" in the early 90's.
      Stuff like that, you guys are the best at 👌👌👌👌
