Released on June 23, 1981, the Vanessa's Lunch Box is Tamiya's 1/12 scale, rear-wheel-drive R/C truck. It utilizes the CW-01 Chassis, modified from the Pajero Chassis which itself is the modified Grasshopper chassis.

Compare to the Pajero Chassis, the CW-01 Chassis has longer front swingarms, lower rear gearbox placement and long stroke friction dampers. The battery has now placed onto the center of the chassis. Just like the Pajero chassis, it was powered by the 540-size motor that is mounted into the rear gearbox. For Lunch Box, the chassis was equipped with the large monster truck wheels and tires.

The Lunch Box was later re-released on July 13, 2005, with the mechanical speed controller being replaced with the electronic speed controller.
