FAQs

Does this kit come with a motor?

The Tamiya Lunch Box Evo (58755) is an assembly kit that typically requires you to source your own motor, speed controller, and radio gear.

Is this model suitable for beginners?

Yes, Tamiya manuals are world-renowned for their clarity, making this a great kit for someone new to building R/C cars, provided they have the patience for assembly.

Can I use standard sized electronics?

The chassis is designed to accommodate standard 1:12 scale electronics, including standard-size servos and standard R/C battery packs.

Does the body come pre-painted?

No, the body comes as clear polycarbonate and requires trimming and painting to achieve the final look.

What tools are needed to build this kit?

You will need a basic hobby tool kit, including side cutters, hobby knife, needle-nose pliers, and a set of precision screwdrivers.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle experiences poor steering response

Ensure the servo saver is properly tightened and check that the steering linkage is not binding.

The vehicle rolls over frequently during turns

Adjust your driving style to ease off the throttle during high-speed cornering or add weight low in the chassis.

Drive train makes grinding noises

Check the gear mesh in the gearbox to ensure no debris has entered the housing and that the pinion-to-spur gear gap is set correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic, iconic styling that stands out on any track
  • Extensive support for aftermarket parts and mods
  • High-quality Tamiya engineering and part precision
  • Detailed manual makes the assembly process approachable

Cons

  • Electronics, battery, and charger must be purchased separately
  • Requires significant time investment to build and paint
  • The high center of gravity typical of this body style can lead to rollovers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As an assembly kit, the 58755 requires a full build before it can hit the track. You will need to acquire a transmitter, receiver, electronic speed controller (ESC), steering servo, motor, battery pack, and a compatible charger separately.

  1. Build Preparation: Organize all parts on a clean, well-lit workspace.
  2. Painting: The body shell comes unpainted; use high-quality polycarbonate spray paint to ensure a durable finish.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically check all screw points, as the vibrations from off-road driving can cause them to loosen over time.
  4. Cleaning: After running in dirt or sand, use compressed air to clear debris from the gearbox and suspension arms to prevent premature wear.
