Tamiya 58365 - 1/12 R/C Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special Trail and Show Pickup  [58365]

Retro pickup looks with trail-ready bones

The Tamiya 58365 - 1/12 R/C Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special captures classic 1950s pickup proportions while adding contemporary touches. Its black-metallic finish and silver-plated wheels via vacuum plating give the body a strong visual pop, and the oversized tyres contribute to the truck's rugged stance and ground clearance.

Construction that stands up to tracks

The kit uses a PS injection-moulded body for accurate panels and an ABS box-type frame for a stiff backbone. With a front independent swing axle and rear rolling rigid suspension, the Midnight Pumpkin handles uneven trails and hard-packed surfaces with confidence while remaining forgiving for tuning and repairs.

Drive components and tuning tips

Fitted with a 540 Type Motor and a 14.7:1 gear ratio, the model provides reliable, usable power. The electronic speed controller is not supplied, allowing you to select an ESC suited to your preferred battery type. A wheelie bar is included to help control wheelstands and protect the rear end.

The Tamiya 58365 Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special appeals to modders and collectors who want a period look with straightforward upgrade paths and trail-capable performance.
