Lunchbox

 

 

Bigfoot

 

second one looks like the midnight pumpkin not bigfoot, bigfoot was a blue ford

 

really wanted the midnight pumpkin, but parents couldnt afford, but maybe one day i will buy it myself

Yeah sorry you are correct. Midnight Pumpkin. I remember now. I had Lunchbox and my best mate had Midnight pumpkin.

oh the memories of lookin at those through the window of the local toyshop lol

Tamiya stuff was ace! I saved up for mine.....was so happy when I bought it. It's still up in the loft I think.

 

I also have the old Mardave Ministock. Brilliant little race car. Used to go to local meets with these and race them indoors.

 

may have to invest in one, always fancied the midnight pumpkin though

 

can you still get them

ooooooooooo!!!!!!!! tempting

Brand new too!!! lol

I was looking at these a while back. They used to wheelie all the time. There was another tamiya called the clodbuster:

 

Its usually in red though and is a bigger version of the pumpkin and lunchbox.

 

People also convert the suspension so it can go over huge rocks and stuff:

 

I used to have one of the original sandscorcher's (baja bug).

Those were the days! ;)

always wanted one but got a crappy two pack of cheap remote control cars :( One day lol :D

I used to love all these as a kid but now I think this would be more the ticket for most of us!
