Looking at what makes this different to the Standard Edition
Tamiya Lunchbox Upgrades Discussed
Why do we love the Tamiya Lunchbox? - Авто та транспорт
Thank you for watching this video! We are having a big push trying to get the subs up for the channel, please consider liking and subscribing and I am sure I will see you on another video!!👍👍❤✔
This is going to look awesome! Amazing how many upgrades are available for the lunchbox. If you haven’t tried one I can highly recommend the transmission brace mod. They can be picked up for a couple of quid on eBay and it stops the slap of the rear transmission 👍🏻🙌🏻
Yes this has a chassis brace ready, we have used them on the other 2 lunchboxes, much neater than forcing a 5th shock in 👍
@@RCsoandso glad I am not alone! I must have missed that during the unboxing. Looking forward to seeing how that Servo Saver works out. Has been in and out of the OAG basket for the last few months 😂
@@theoagrc keep it in, its a belter of a servo, the Chief Engineer has used it on the Monster Beetle I think as well. I prefer higher torque ones, as I usually expect issues 🤣
That thing is gonna be a tank!! The black and red will really look great together. Personally I would just strip the blue from the steering linkages but you probably won't see much of them anyways!
I wondered if he could get miniature foam guards to go around them, like I had on my BMX as a kid 😂🤔👍
@@RCsoandso Heat shrink tubing over them to be the ultimate fake out... looks like plastic but really is aluminum!
Lots of nice aluminum upgrades there! Looking forward to seeing it done up!👍😊
I think it might be bombproof now 😂😉👍
Great choise bro. The Black Edition is a masterpiece. Black body, smoked chrome, dark stickers and these are precutted. Please drive her carefull. This was the first video of yours where I almost cried😉.
Looking forward what you'll do of this kit👍
I’ve heard of that carful word before. Will have to look into it 😆😂
@@RCsoandso 🤣🤣🤣
Love your Chanel. You have amazing skills in building and talk about the build process. And filming skills. Thanks for your hard work.
Well that’s a very kind comment. I’m glad you are enjoying it and welcome onboard 🚂👍
Gonna be a nice build. The black Lunch seems to be on backorder everwhere
It is a popular one, I wonder if they are looking at releasing a new colour in February and maybe that’s why stocks are low, that could be interesting to see if they do 🤔💭
Got me all excited about the body!!!!! Great up-grades, will be nice to know how they work!!!!
Yes let’s hope they all stay on and we don’t have to comb the area for bits that have fallen off 😂😆
Cool. I have a guess what you might be doing with the shell but staying quiet 😎 Not sure if you watched my Lunchy video re the Fastrax shock but a heads up if not. The vibrations at the rear of the LB which results in wheel nuts undoing themselves without threadlock also caused the ball end on my shocks to come loose. To fix that I put some plumbers tape on the threads and not had an issue since.
I had the exact same issue with my Lunchbox, and I used Tamiya oil shocks. Not only the back ones but the front ones also. They have blobs of glue at key points now and seem to have held well. It’s an ongoing struggle 😂😆
Silly question. Which video shows what actually happened with the shell?
exciting!!
Should be good. I’ve seen a sneak peak at the body and it looks great! 👍
Oh yeah the Lunchbox is the one that got me back into the hobby a few years back. Very simple but so much fun. I did have to explain the concept of Trigger's broom to Mikael at Nordic RC when he'd replaced nearly everything on one of his cars. That is quite a haul of upgrades you have there. I've never gone that far with upgrading a Lunchbox. I look forward to seeing what you have planned for the body. Good stuff. Best wishes guys 😀
Yes it’s no secret how much we like a good Lunchbox. Im surprised that Only Fools and Horses has not been ran on a constant loop in other countries also, and DelBoy had a monster beetle. Let’s hope all these bits and bobs don’t shake themselves off all the time! Hope all is good with you 👍
@@RCsoandso Hey they had a Monster Beetle on Men Behaving Badly. It was never referenced but was on the side somewhere in the lounge or kitchen as I remember.
@@PeteWylieRC I wonder if it was the same one, BBC prop department, lot 12A-8791
Thank you for not adding music while you were talking
Sometimes it’s needed for a fuller sound, but I’m aware sometimes when it’s done people can do it at to high a level 👍
Cool unboxing 👍
Those TG3 receivers are really reliable for 200 yds 👌
I use them in every build of mine 😎
Im always amazed at the distance the cover, problem is the further the range, the longer the walk to kick it right side up when it lands like a turtle 😂👍
@@RCsoandso And also the fact that you have to do a 200 yd sprint in case some cheeky oik picks it up and buggers off with it 🤔
@@cw-01creations46 maybe this is a good excuse to buy a Gun dog, for retrieval, or crash way before you get out of range 😂😆🐾
Hi there, the Black edition Lunchbox and upgrades is going to look awesome. I suppose you could always spray the front blue steering arms red to match. But the chief engineer is going to be really busy getting stuck into, what is going to turn out to be a Lunchie with attitude! 😉😊😉. Take care, keep well and all the very best. 😉😊
I suggested that he sprayed them also, but now’t wrong with a bit of blue for the dads 😆😂😂
I have a black edition that the elf gave me I'd like to get the oil filled shocks for it and put a dirt tuned motor on it.
I have the Tamiya oil shocks in my Big Kahuna Lunchbox, I think they were worth it, but a little pricey 💰
@@RCsoandso cvas that they make for it well I bought cva's recently for the holiday buggy and it wasn't that bad it was less than 30 bucks but I don't know the lunch boxes might be more.
I need to know how your tire decals stay on and what glue
They were self adhesive, so just peel and stick 👍
Can you do updates on the tire stickers
Yes we will be soon, they do look good so far 👍
Can you get that fast tracks shocks in United States and how much are they in the US dollars?
I would imagine you could, I will ask the Chief Engineer how much he paid for them, I know they were cheaper than the Tamiya ones
@@RCsoandso please send me the link to fast tracks and the one who made your motors because I can't find them on eBay or Amazon please.
It’s that the etronix ET2069? I’ve just bought a kit only lunchie but have no idea what radio gear to buy! Any help would be awesome!
Yes it was but it’s been swapped for a Torque Tuned as it runs better. For around £30 you can get Etronix Pulse GFSK EX2 Sport 2.4ghz 2ch Wheel Radio ET1060, I used to use one and it did the job spot on 👍
@@RCsoandso thank you so much! So the transmitter and receiver combo and a servo is all I’ll need? (Apart from batteries!) is the torque tuned you mention a servo?
@@TheBoarder360 the radio comes with a transmitter. The torque tuned is a motor. As long as you have a servo (around £15) you should be fine. Did it come with an ESC, if not the Tamiya TBLE04 is a great one ☝️
@@RCsoandso it did come with an ESC 👍🏼 thank you so much for the guidance! Hugely appreciated ☺️
Are those shock springs gold?
No they are silver from looking at other pictures, would look good if they were 🤔
Dam I’m after metal body posts , can’t find them anywhere and I live in Japan 😠👊🏻👍🏻
Even eBay?
@@RCsoandso yes I have seen them on eBay, but the wife won’t let me lose with a credit card , she knows me 😤👊🏻👍🏻
@@camrowdrone6497 Seems she knows that it would spiral out of control 🤣😂
I didn't know you had any Lunchboxes lol
Haha yeah we have kept that quiet 😂😮
More tastier than Cher from 1984 🤣
Woof there is a statement 😂👍
@@RCsoandso 🤣
It must be hard to get kits where ever your at because why in the hell would you put $400 in hop ups in a kit that's worth about $150 it's only 2wd as well it's just a waist!
Ralphie with your tip for the day!!!!!!
I think your maths are wrong there, unless aluminium is in short supply where you are from. The upgrades are not as expensive as the kit. We use our Lunchboxes all the time and test them to the limit so making them bomb proof as much as possible saves in the long run. 2WD can be fun, and the Lunchbox has a natural charm 🤷♂️👍
@@RCsoandso no that's all good I just think there are much better Tamiya kits for that money, I've a lot of 2wd kits that I'd rather spend on then a lunch box! But that's America 🇺🇸
The amount of after market parts for the entire Tamiya range is astonishing, it’s good to upgrade your favourites or at least the ones you use more on a regular basis. I doubt there are any TT02 models out there that haven’t got something extra inside 👍
