Description
The Tamiya 1/12 Lunch Box EVO (CW-01E) is an updated, modernized evolution of Tamiya’s legendary 1987 monster van. It maintains the iconic retro charm and wheelie-popping fun of the original while adding major performance, stability, and chassis refinements.
Key Upgrades Over the Classic Lunch Box
-
- Upgraded Suspension: Features oil-filled CVA shocks replacing the old friction dampers, a newly designed front double-wishbone setup, and a rear 3-link floating rigid axle.
- Extended Stance: The tread width (228mm) and wheelbase (217mm) are both extended by 10mm to greatly improve high-speed tracking and reduce rollovers.
- Precision Steering: Implements a new equal-length steering linkage design to reduce handling variations during suspension cycling.
- Chassis Rigidity: Includes a front aluminium shock tower brace/strut bar to strengthen the tub frame.
- Lower Centre of Gravity: The body mounts sit 7mm lower than the original version for tighter, more stable control.
- Full Ball Bearings: Comes completely equipped with ball bearings right out of the box for a smoother, highly efficient drivetrain.
Technical Specifications
-
- Scale: 1/12 (often classified alongside 1/10 monster trucks due to size).
- Dimensions: 390mm Length × 295mm Width × 220mm Height.
- Drive Type: 2WD rear-wheel drive with a sealed gearbox differential.
- Tires: Signature 115mm oversized monster truck tires on deep-rim one-piece wheels.
- Stunt Feature: Equipped with a rear-mounted aluminium wheelie bar with built-in rollers.
- Power: Includes a brushed 540-type motor and electronic speed controller (ESC).
