Small yet perfectly formed
The Lunch Box is a famous name in Tamiya R/C and Mini 4WD, delighting many a hobbyist over the years. Now, it is here in brand new mini 1/24 form, as a fascinating R/C model assembly kit! While extremely compact, it is endowed with excellent mechanical design: gear driven 4WD, strut suspension and more! The lightweight polycarbonate body comes pre-painted in yellow, with wheel arches pre-cut and body mount holes already made. Stickers are included to decorate the body.
SW-01: Super-Compact 4WD
190mm long and 150mm wide, the SW-01 is a compact, highly fun 4WD chassis. A Type 370 motor is central in the slim monocoque frame, with gears transmitting its output to the front and rear of the model, where 70mm tires translate it into a powerful drive. The chassis power source is mounted in the top section to allow wild wheelies under acceleration. Strut type 4-wheel independent coil sprung suspension utilizes single piece upper arms to link left and right wheel steering motion, helping suppress roll during turns, and together with front and rear differentials realize a tight turning circle.
- The compact SW-01 is just 190mm in length, but utilizes a gear-driven 4WD drivetrain for a powerful, fun drive.
- The polycarbonate body is a 1/24 scale rendering of the Lunch Box. It uses magnetized body mounts.
- To save time, the body comes pre-painted in yellow with wheel arch and body catch sections pre-cut.
- The model's power source is mounted on the top of the chassis, assisting with super exciting wheelies!

- At around A5 size the Lunch Box Mini lives up to its name, but provides fun, feisty performance.
- The central Type 370 motor transmits power to front and rear via gears in a 4WD setup.

Hey, is this product available as a pro package bundle like some other packages you offer? If not what extra do I need?
Thanks
Asked by Carl on 3rd April 2020
We've now added a combo pack with the majority of items you'll need :-)

Hi, with the battery pack in the Advertised combo package what is the estimated typical runtime? And charging time? Thanks
Asked by Richard Edwards on 18th October 2020
Runtime on the 3200mah lipo would be around 20 mins or so. Charge time around 1-2 hours depending on charger
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
As a complete novice I need a little help. It says it needs a power source, what does that mean?
Asked by Louis Burton on 18th October 2020
That would be the battery - eg AM700994
