Vintage styling with modern build quality

The Tamiya 58365 - 1/12 R/C Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special remains a standout kit for enthusiasts who like a retro pickup vibe with contemporary finishes. Inspired by 1950s truck lines, the model pairs oversized tires and a sturdy stance with a black-metallic body and silver-plated wheels produced by advanced vacuum plating. The result is a model that looks great on the shelf and performs well on local tracks.

Robust chassis and practical handling

The Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special keeps the practical features fans expect, including a PS injection-molded body for strength and an ABS box-type frame for a rigid platform. Its front independent swing axle and rear rolling rigid suspension give it adaptable handling across packed dirt and mixed surfaces, while the large tires help with traction and stability.

Powertrain and setup notes

Powered by a 540 Type Motor with a 14.7:1 gear ratio, the kit delivers dependable torque for general hobby use. The electronic speed controller is not included, so you can choose an ESC to match your driving style. A wheelie bar is supplied for controlled stunts and to protect the chassis during aggressive launches.

The Tamiya 58365 Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special suits hobbyists who want a mix of vintage looks and user-tunable performance, making it a solid pick for both first builds and display projects.
