First post...little help with my lunchbox

[lunchboxj]

Hi guys...I've been out of the hobby for sometime and have recently decided to get back in the game so to speak. I have a Lunch Box re-release ( wanted one as a kid, got the Blackfoot) on order and was wondering if I could get some suggestions for shocks and maybe a few other hop-ups. I know the Lunch Box isn't meant as a basher (bought a stampede for that) but I'd still like to have a little off road fun with it. I know the yellow tamiya shocks will fit, but was curious if there is anything else out there. Any other suggested add-ons would be great...thanks in advance :)

I found several lunchbox related threads in this forum, prior to my 1st post a few days ago in my quest for the perfect Monster Truck. Good Luck.

Buy a bunch of 5x11 bearings! (and a couple of 5x8's) For the shocks you can use Tamiya's CVA short shock unit II, #50520. I don't really see a point in adding anything else, unless you want a little more speed.

I haven't put mine together yet so I'm not sure what else might come in handy.

Thanks, I ordered some bearings for it and I guess I'll just stick with the tamiya shocks
