Classic pickup reimagined: Tamiya 58365-60A Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special

The Tamiya 58365-60A Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special reinterprets classic 1950s pickup cues with a hard-wearing, high-gloss black finish. The combination of oversized tyres and bright plated wheels makes it a striking model for display and driving.

Show-grade plating meets hobby resilience

Vacuum plating delivers the deep reflective body finish and plated trims that resist regular handling better than standard paint. The Metallic Special keeps the nostalgic silhouette but adds improved surface longevity for regular use.

Sturdy platform with user-selected electronics

Mounted on the dependable CW-01 chassis, the truck includes a 540 Type Motor and a 14.7:1 gear ratio tuned for torque. With no ESC included, you can tailor the electronics to match battery choice and driving preferences for road or light off-road use.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Body: PS injection molded with black metallic finish
  • Frame: ABS box type
  • Suspension: Front independent swing axle, rear rolling rigid
  • Motor: 540 Type Motor Included
  • Electronic Speed Control (ESC): Not Included
  • Extras: Includes wheelie bar for stunts

This Metallic Special is a sensible choice for hobbyists seeking authentic retro styling combined with a serviceable chassis and scope for personal electronics upgrades.

Will the body need trimming to fit electronics?

Some trimming around the interior mounting points is typical when fitting batteries and ESCs. Test-fit components before finalising mounts to avoid stress on the plated body.

Are replacement plated parts available?

Replacement body panels and common CW-01 parts can be sourced through Tamiya dealers and specialist retailers, making repairs and restorations straightforward.

What tuning gives better off-road traction?

Adjust tyre pressure, add weight low in the chassis and tweak suspension settings for improved traction. A slightly lower gearing can also help in loose or hilly terrain.

How should I store the model to protect the finish?

Keep the truck in a dust-free case or shelf away from direct sunlight. Use soft covers when transporting to prevent scratches to the vacuum-plated surface.
