The Midnight Pumpkin remains a standout among classic R/C trucks, and the Black Edition refreshes that legacy in a clean black ABS shell. First introduced in 1987, this 1/12 scale pickup keeps the period lines while offering a body that is ready for custom work.
This version pairs the nostalgic 1950s pickup look with practical R/C behaviour suitable for club runs and casual off-road use. Monster truck wheels give it presence and better clearance, and the kit format makes it ideal for enthusiasts who enjoy assembling and tuning their models.
The chassis uses a 2WD RWD drivetrain driven by a 540-brushed motor for dependable, easy-to-maintain power. A gearbox drive setup and the combination of independent front suspension with a solid rear axle provide a predictable driving feel. The TEU-105BK ESC is included to manage power delivery.
The ABS body is durable and suitable for painting, decals and light modifications. LEDs are not part of the kit, but the shell supports custom lighting installations. Rubber chevron tyres give consistent traction and friction dampers help absorb smaller impacts.
The Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin Black Edition offers a rewarding build and a classic appearance that can be personalised, making it a solid option for hobbyists who value both style and function.
