Classic Pickup Styling Reworked for RC

The Tamiya 57850 - 1/12 RC RTR XB Midnight Pumpkin Black Edition channels mid-century U.S. pickup aesthetics into a robust RC package. The black ABS body captures the vintage silhouette while standing up to regular outdoor use.

Heritage Feel With Practical Drive

Under the shell the truck uses a rear 2WD layout paired with a solid rear axle and independent front suspension, offering straightforward dynamics that suit mixed-surface runs. The setup gives predictable handling for parks, tracks, and backyards.

Factory Built and Radio Ready

This model arrives pre-assembled by Tamiya and includes a Finespec 2.4Ghz transmitter to reduce interference on busy channels, making it an accessible choice for those new to bigger scale RCs and for seasoned drivers who prefer minimal setup.

Key Mechanical Notes

The Midnight Pumpkin Black Edition runs a 540-brushed motor selected for consistent power at this scale. Friction-style dampers and chevron-pattern rubber tyres help absorb bumps and maintain traction, while the plastic chassis keeps the weight down. Camber and internal gear ratios are fixed, but you can tweak steering behaviour by altering the front toe setting.

Yes, the model uses a standard 7.2V battery pack and a compatible charger, which are not included and must be purchased separately.
The ABS molded body is reasonably tough for light off-road and park use, though avoid heavy impacts and rock gardens unless you add additional protection or guards.
Steering can be fine tuned by changing the front toe angle and checking servo linkages. For major changes consider different servo or steering parts.
The bundled Finespec 2.4Ghz system provides reliable, interference-resistant control suitable for casual club meetups and practice sessions.
