Tamiya 57752 Midnight Pumpkin XB Mid. Metallic Special - Ready-to-run 1/12 pickup with period styling

Finish and XB Mid. platform overview

The 57752 Midnight Pumpkin is delivered as a factory-completed entry in the XB Mid. lineup, built as a 1/12 scale ready-to-run pickup. The emphasis is on a finished look: a black-metallic PS injection body with vacuum-plated components and silver-plated wheels, offering strong visual appeal while preserving the standard mechanical layout for this class.

Mechanical design and service points

Under the finished shell the model uses an ABS box-type frame with a front independent swing axle and a rear rolling rigid arrangement. Serviceable elements include a 540-type motor and a gearbox with a 14.7:1 ratio, making routine maintenance and basic repairs straightforward.

Use cases and audience

This Metallic Special is targeted at those who want a display-ready model that can also be driven. Its plated finish and polished look suit collectors, while the inclusion of drive components and a wheelie bar make it practical for occasional running and demonstrations without a build sequence.

How should I care for the vacuum-plated components on the 57752?

Avoid abrasive cleaning agents and solvents; gently wipe plated parts with a soft, dry cloth and store the model away from high humidity to protect the finish.

Can the wheelie bar be removed for regular driving?

Yes. The wheelie bar is included and can be fitted or removed depending on whether you prefer stable demonstrations or a different driving setup; mounting hardware allows straightforward removal.

Are spare parts serviceable on the ABS box-type frame?

The ABS frame is designed for serviceability; common replacement parts and basic repairs can be carried out without major disassembly.

Is the 57752 intended more for display or for running?

It bridges both uses: the polished exterior makes it suitable for display, while the included mechanical components enable casual running and demonstrations.

What motor and gear ratio are installed and how do they affect performance?

The truck is fitted with a 540-type motor and a 14.7:1 gear ratio, which provides balanced low-end torque for demonstration runs rather than outright top speed.
