Inspecting the Lunch Box Junior Mini 4WD

The Tamiya Lunch Box Junior from the Wild Mini 4WD series brings a retro truck vibe to the mini 4WD format. Its compact footprint and playful styling make it a favourite for builders who enjoy characterful models that stand out on the shelf.

Playful Truck Styling and Big Tyres

The model features a humorous, truck-like shell that nods to monster truck design in a miniaturised form. The large-diameter tyres enhance the comic proportion and give the model a chunky, fun appearance suitable for show or light running.

Central Motor and Sidewinder Drive

This kit uses a centrally mounted motor with a sidewinder gear setup to transmit power to both axles. The arrangement offers steady performance aimed at casual use rather than competitive sprinting.

Limits and Compatibility

The Wild Mini 4WD models are not built for heavy modification or high-end motor upgrades. The Lunch Box Junior is best used on basic Tamiya tracks and enjoyed for themed running or display rather than racing modifications.

Simple Build Process

The Lunch Box Junior assembles quickly thanks to snap-fit components and coloured parts. No cement is required, which keeps the build accessible for a wide range of hobbyists.

Specifications

  • Body Style: Monster Truck
  • Chassis Type: Sidewinder Gear Setup
  • Wheel Diameter: 52mm
  • Assembly: Snap-fit, no cement required

For those who value character and a hassle-free build, the Tamiya Lunch Box Junior is an enjoyable addition to a Wild Mini 4WD collection.

A great company to order from. Always easy to do and delivered in a week or so. Ordered 3 Mini 4wd Tamiya kits, Lunch Box monster truck, Baron Viento car, the Cross Spear Japan Cup 2025 car and a spoked wheel and tire set that arrived safely packed in a

Ordered 3 Tamiya Mini 4wd Hyundai kits which all arrived together securely packed within a week of ordering. This wasn’t the first time I’ve ordered from rcjaz.com and hopefully won’t be the last. Ordering is simple and always sent extremely quick
The body is robust for casual running and display, while the large tyres are designed for visual impact and light off-road scuffs rather than heavy bashing.
This series is not tuned for high performance. Basic tuning might help handling, but the chassis and gearing are intended for casual use rather than serious speed gains.
The snap-fit design and simple assembly make it suitable for newcomers and younger hobbyists, with supervision recommended for small children.
Yes. Its distinctive styling and compact size make it a great shelf piece alongside other mini 4WDs or larger scale models as a fun contrast.
