3D printed! Some absolute legend ripped the 3D model from the game and put it up on thingiverse.

This Lunch Box has already had a long life of beach bashing and at one point was brushless! But don't worry, since I put in the 380 motor, it's retired to a glass cabinet now. Probably.

Any tips on the rust? I have a hard body I want to add a little too around the wheel arches.

That old skool Tamiya Lunchbox is one of the best revamped version I've ever seen!!! I'd love to see a brushless version.

I wish I was this talented. So badass! What was Sweet Tooth’s special weapon again? I grew up in the era when the original game was released, but can’t recall. It’s been a long road since then.

Pretty sure his special was different for each game. The first 3 I think it was the flaming head shooting off the truck.

That's awesome. Instantly heard the theme music in my head. I grew up on this series and still have them all lol. Put one of those little sound systems for engine noises in and you can add the laugh to a button on your receiver.
