The Tamiya Lunch Box – Black Edition (HC-58546) brings an iconic R/C favourite back with a stealthy makeover. Its black ABS-moulded body is paired with chrome-plated wheels, while the boxy minivan shell sits high over monster truck wheels for unmistakable presence and attention-grabbing fun.

This assembly kit is set up for multi-purpose running with rear-wheel drive and a robust gearbox with gear differential. Direct-servo steering, independent front suspension and a solid rear axle work with plastic friction dampers to keep the handling playful and durable. Rubber chevron-pattern tyres add traction across a variety of surfaces, and vinyl stickers complete the classic look. An electronic speed controller (Tamiya TEU-105BK) is included.

Finish the hard ABS shell with Tamiya TS synthetic lacquer paints for a durable, authentic result that matches the Black Edition style.

The ever popular 1/12 scale R/C Lunch Box van is now available as a special Black Edition model, featuring a stylish combination of a Black ABS molded body and chrome-plated wheels. The R/C Lunch Box (first released in 1987) was loved for its camp appearance as much as for its R/C performance. The boxy minivan body is raised up over the monster truck wheels to ensure that this R/C van will get attention anywhere you choose to drive it.

Can you run a 2s lipo with the supplied esc? Thanks

Simon Nash / 14th October 2025

yes you can just move the jumper plug to lipo mode ;)

Steve @ Wheelspin Models

does this come with the stickers already on it?

Ollie / 5th June 2020

No I believe the decals are not applied

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

How quick does this go with the standard motor.

Ollie / 3rd June 2020

Maybe around 20-25 mph or so

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

does the body come painted black?

Ollie / 2nd June 2020

Yes

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

my father (sadly passed away) had a lunch box. Its fully built but missing Receiver and battery. Could i just swap in Tamiya Kit Combo for it?

Brian Boulnois / 5th April 2020

Sure, those items should work with your older lunch box

Ben @ Wheelspin Models

how fast does it go ans what is the charge/run time of it

Camm / 3rd August 2018

That depends what battery/motor you go for.

With the stock motor we'd estimate top speed of around 20mph or so.

With an 1800mah battery, around 10 mins runtime. Or around 20 mins on a 3000mah, and 30+ mins on a 5000mah.
