Retro Tamiya Lunch Box Build

I got time (and finally all the parts) to do the retro build of the Tamiya Lunch Box. The RC Elf had gifted me a new in box 58063 Lunch Box a while ago and could not bring myself to build it, there just are not that many left like this! So, I did the next best thing and got a new kit 58347 and built it pre the vintage manual, I used vintage hardware, vintage mechanical speed control and even an older 75mHz radio system. It will be my classic showpiece and I have plans for the other one I already had built previously…
You guys are all awesome and I appreciate all the great comments and questions from everyone. Really enjoying talking to you all in the comments section.

They are working to prevent veteran suicide by getting veterans into the RC hobby and out having fun with others. I am not affiliated with them directly; it is just a great thing they are doing and I want to help spread the word!
