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.

You only need to install a compatible 7.2V battery and charger, bind the transmitter if required, then you are ready to drive. Basic checks of screws and linkages are recommended first.
Keep the drivetrain clean, check gear mesh and screw tightness, and inspect the brushed motor for brush wear. Clean mud from the chassis and tyres after wet runs to prolong service life.
Yes, common upgrades include higher grip tyres, aftermarket dampers, and stronger drive components. Motor and electronics swaps are possible but check space and mounting before choosing parts.
Packed dirt, smooth grass, and hardpacked trails are ideal. Avoid deep sand or heavy mud unless you fit specialised tyres and protect the electronics.
