The Midnight Pumpkin is one of those classic R/C designs that appeals across generations, and the Black Edition revives its iconic form in a sleek black ABS shell. First launched in 1987, this 1/12 scale truck keeps the original charm while providing a blank canvas for detailing.
The Black Edition pairs the nostalgic 1950s pickup silhouette with practical R/C handling that suits display and running. Fitted with large monster wheels, it delivers a striking presence and competent performance on a variety of surfaces. The kit encourages a hands-on build experience for enthusiasts.
The vehicle is set up as a 2WD RWD system driven by a 540-brushed motor, offering dependable, repairable power. The gearbox drive arrangement works with an independent front suspension and a solid rear axle to produce stable handling characteristics. A TEU-105BK ESC is included to control motor output.
The black ABS body is robust and readily accepts paint, decals and light modifications. Lighting is not supplied, but the body allows for aftermarket LED installations. Rubber chevron tyres deliver steady traction while friction dampers contribute to smoother running over bumps.
The Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin Black Edition is a well balanced classic reissue that suits display collectors and builders who want a retro truck they can personalise and maintain.
