A retro reboot for collectors: Tamiya 58365-60A Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special

The Tamiya 58365-60A Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special blends vintage 1950s pickup styling with modern hobby convenience. Oversized tyres, silver-plated wheels and a glossy black-metallic body give this kit a standout presence whether displayed or driven.

Classic looks with modern plating

The body uses vacuum plating to achieve its reflective black-metallic finish while plated components add visual impact and extra resilience. This Metallic Special version keeps the original character while offering a tougher, showroom-ready surface.

Proven chassis and motor package

Built on the CW-01 chassis, the truck provides simple maintenance and predictable handling. A 540 Type Motor is included and the gear ratio of 14.7:1 delivers good torque for wheelies and mixed-surface runs. Note that an electronic speed control is not supplied, allowing you to fit your preferred ESC for the driving style you want.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Body: PS injection molded with black metallic finish
  • Frame: ABS box type
  • Suspension: Front independent swing axle, rear rolling rigid

This Metallic Special version is a strong pick for hobbyists who value classic styling and a durable, eye-catching finish while keeping the option to choose their own electronics.

How long does assembly usually take for this kit?

Assembly time varies with experience but most hobbyists complete the kit over a few sessions. Complex steps include trimming and fitting the vacuum-plated body and mounting the wheelie bar.

What ESC should I pick for the 540 Type Motor?

Choose an ESC rated for a 540 brushed motor and matching battery voltage. Many standard hobby ESCs work well, letting you balance braking and throttle response to your driving style.

How do I look after the vacuum-plated finish?

Avoid abrasive cleaners and use a soft cloth after runs to remove dirt. If you plan to run aggressively, consider protective clear films for high-wear spots to preserve the shine.

Can I use this truck for stunt driving?

Yes, the included wheelie bar and torque from the 540 motor make stunts feasible. Tune gearing and shock settings to control wheelies and protect drivetrain components.
