Tamiya 57850 Retro 1/12 RTR Midnight Pumpkin Black Edition  [57850]

Midnight Pumpkin Heritage and Design

The Tamiya 57850 - 1/12 RC RTR XB Midnight Pumpkin Black Edition celebrates classic American pickup styling with a modern RC finish. Its black ABS molded shell and 1950s U.S. pickup silhouette recall the era while providing a durable exterior for regular use.

Balanced Vintage Handling

Behind the period looks the truck uses a 2WD rear-wheel-drive layout with a solid rear axle and independent front suspension to blend authentic handling feel with practical control. This setup performs well on mixed surfaces and is easy to learn for drivers moving up from smaller models.

Ready-to-Run, Factory Prepared

Tamiya delivers this model pre-assembled, reducing setup time and ensuring factory-fit parts. The included Finespec 2.4Ghz radio system cuts down interference and makes the truck approachable for newcomers while still satisfying experienced pilots who want a straightforward run session.

Mechanical Details and Parts

The Midnight Pumpkin Black Edition is driven by a 540-brushed motor chosen for dependable torque at this scale. Friction dampers work with the rubber chevron tyres to smooth out rough ground, and the plastic chassis keeps the weight reasonable without compromising durability. While camber and gear ratios are fixed, you can tune steering by adjusting the front toe angle.

This Tamiya 57850 Midnight Pumpkin Black Edition appeals to collectors wanting authentic looks and to drivers seeking a durable, turn-key model for park sessions and casual off-road runs.
