Old School Pickup Style with RC Practicality

The Tamiya 57850 - 1/12 RC RTR XB Midnight Pumpkin Black Edition captures 1950s U.S. pickup character in a robust ready-to-run package. The black ABS body offers period-correct lines while standing up to regular hobby use.

Driving Feel That Matches the Era

Configured as a 2WD rear-drive model with a solid rear axle and independent front suspension, this truck delivers predictable handling and stability for casual trail runs and on-road cruising.

Prebuilt Convenience and Reliable Control

Delivered pre-assembled by Tamiya, the model comes with a Finespec 2.4Ghz transmitter to help avoid radio interference. That combination makes it simple to start driving and keeps maintenance straightforward for owners who prefer less tinkering.

Component Overview

The Midnight Pumpkin Black Edition uses a 540-brushed motor for steady, scale-appropriate performance. Friction dampers and chevron rubber tyres smooth out uneven ground, and the plastic chassis reduces weight while keeping the layout simple. Fixed camber and gear choices limit internal tuning, but the front toe angle can be adjusted to refine steering balance.
