This is a must have item for the weakest part of the lunchbox. The van itself is more unstable than my exwife when her meds run out, which leads to many roll overs. The plastic mounts are what usually breaks first and often. For the price and durability of the alloy mounts, its really a no-brainer purchase for Tamiya's self destructing classic! The Lunchbox is fun, easy to run and even easier to break the mounts off. If you dont have the alloy set, get them! Its worth it!

Only buy this model if you like assembly of rc models and want to bring back memories of your childhood. As an experienced rc modeler, i am used to strong rugged quality materials in my rc cars/trucks. Tamiya uses plastic that breaks easily. This Lunchbox is not made for jumping or bashing or speed. It is fragile, including the body shell. Assembly parts fit like a glove. Manual is very good also. Overall is fun and details are the best, materials used in the production are the downside, just like the 1980s version.

This kit is so much fun, you will not be disapointed. Vintage Tamiya with a touch of modern tech make this little monster truck a fun and easy build. Driving it is just as good as it looks. Plenty of power with stock motor and esc to pull wheelies all day long. Runs great on the tarmac or the dirt. Short grass is no problem for this little beast either. A hard shell body comes with the kit. Plated grill fited for headlamps make lighting this kit very easy and adds to its looks. Plenty of room on the chassis to mount all of your electronics. Packaging of the kit is very nice with parts in boxes and bagged in the typical Tamiya fashion. All in all this is a quality buy so get one and have some fun driving around in your own Tamiya Lunch Box.
These are a must for your Tamiya Lunchbox! It's only a matter of time before you sheer off the stock plastic ones that come with the Tamiya kit. These new aluminum body mounts fit great and look great! I've rolled and crashed my Lunchbox many times now with these new body mounts with no issues. They will probably outlast my truck. Lol!
