Vintage Pickup Appeal: Tamiya 58070 Midnight Pumpkin

The Tamiya 58070 - 1/12 Midnight Pumpkin 2WD presents classic truck styling on Tamiya's CW-01 chassis. The ABS body echoing a 1953 Ford F-100 and the large rubber tyres give the model a strong retro presence for both track and display.

Classic Aesthetics

The scaled body lines and durable ABS construction make painting and detailing straightforward while maintaining toughness during hobby use. The chevron tyres add authentic period character and grip for casual off-road outings.

Chassis and Powertrain

The simple 2WD configuration features a rear solid axle combined with a front independent swing axle, producing stable handling on mixed surfaces. The combination of friction dampers, gear differential, mechanical ESC and a 540-brushed motor keeps maintenance simple and parts widely available.
