I do dream of having a hobby room in which they would be displayed, however, and when that eventually happens I suspect I might start getting more fussy about orange peely spray jobs, full interiors etc. I completely understand that some people are perfectionists, but I find that fussy scale details just end up getting knocked off, either in use or in storage The Lunch Box will be such a fun drive that I suspect that you´ll love it anyway!

A very relaxing part 2 of the fantastic Lunchbox build Mark. As the switch wire isn't long enough from the ESC, you could super glue the side of it to the rear panel just in front of the oblong hole where the wires go through to the motor, if that makes any sense. A bit hard to explain without showing you any pictures but I'm sure you get the jist of it. That way you can still turn the power on and off after you've connected the battery. Let me know if you need another shell as I have plenty 😎 And once again, Welcome to the Lunchbox Family 👍👍👍

I saw Pete Smith today for some RC action and obviously that included a bit of Lunchbox fun. Didn't video much today as a bit overcast and mainly cars that have been videoed before. Anyway I hope you are ok and recovering well. All ok here with plenty of projects on the go. Be nice if the weather perked up a bit. Had planned to see friends for dinks in the garden but too cold so will wait till it's either warm enough or we are allowed to meet indoors. Just sorting out the lipos and having a pre tea beer. Best wishes to you for your continued recovery. Take it easy mate :-)

Turns out that the motor in my Arrma Typhon is knackered so not such a cheap fix on that one but all part of running these things. Put in a big spares order to Modelsport. Believe it or not some parts of my Willy still aren't painted so been doing a bit of that. So have you discovered that the way to drive the Lunchbox is to blast it along in a wheelie and then slam the brakes on and steer to spin it in the direction you want to go next. You can't really steer while you accelerate as I'm sure you've found out. Be great on the beach if you make it on holiday to Wales this year. Anyway tea time for us.

Now, I finished my Tamiya Lunchbox (no body paint yet) but faced following issue : the car is running great forward but is struggling now and then by going backwards. Is this a connection problem?

Ай бұрын
Hello there! Glad you liked the video! As for the problem with reverse, I think it's your radio system/ESC. Most radios/ESC's need you to stop the car completely, pause for a second or two before hitting reverse. This is to stop the car going straight from forward into reverse which could damage the drivetrain. Check your manuals for the radio and ESC. Try pausing before hitting reverse and see if that works. Good luck!
