Vintage Pickup Charm in a Ready-to-Drive Truck

The Tamiya 57850 - 1/12 RC RTR XB Midnight Pumpkin Black Edition blends classic 1950s pickup styling with a ready-built RC platform. Its black ABS body recreates the period profile while remaining sturdy for routine running.

Old School Looks, Modern Control

Mechanically the truck features a 2WD RWD drivetrain, a solid rear axle and an independent front suspension to give a familiar, controllable feel. It works well across paved and lightly rough surfaces, offering confidence for drivers upgrading to larger scales.

Pre-Assembled for Immediate Use

Tamiya supplies the model pre-assembled and fitted with a Finespec 2.4Ghz radio to reduce interference. This setup makes the truck approachable for newcomers and convenient for hobbyists who prefer minimal setup time before hitting the field.

Under the Skin Specifications

The Midnight Pumpkin Black Edition is powered by a 540-brushed motor that balances torque and reliability. Friction dampers paired with rubber chevron tyres absorb road irregularities, and the plastic chassis helps keep the overall weight sensible. Camber and gearing are not user-adjustable, though front toe can be altered to refine steering.
