Tamiya 58365 - 1/12 R/C Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special Classic Pickup Kit  [58365]

Classic pickup styling with practical engineering

The Tamiya 58365 - 1/12 R/C Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special evokes 1950s pickup character while incorporating modern finishing techniques. The black metallic body and vacuum-plated silver wheels give it a showroom sheen, and the oversized tyres help the model stand out on both track and display.

Chassis layout and ride behaviour

Featuring a PS injection moulded body and an ABS box type frame, the Midnight Pumpkin keeps a simple, robust structure that is easy to service. The combination of a front independent swing axle and rear rolling rigid suspension produces steady handling across tarmac and packed dirt, with predictable feedback for tuning.

Powertrain details and optional upgrades

The model ships with a 540 Type Motor and a 14.7:1 gear ratio, offering reliable drive characteristics for general use. The electronic speed controller is not included, enabling owners to select an ESC to match their preferred battery and performance upgrades. A wheelie bar is supplied to help control aggressive acceleration.

The Tamiya 58365 Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special is well suited to modders and collectors who want an attractive period model they can drive and refine over time.
