Overview

Please Note:

This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.

Combining a 1950s style pick-up truck body with massive monster truck tyres, the popular Midnight Pumpkin is now available with a metallic body for even more eye-catching R/C action. The super-detailed body is made with the same technology as Tamiya's high-quality plastic model kits. Metal plated wheels and damper cylinders further enhance this truck's custom look.

The CW-01 is a simple and easy-to-assemble 2WD chassis with big tyres. The bathtub-type frame and suspension support the hollow tyres with a diameter of 115mm and has an independent front swing axle and rear rolling rigid coil spring, enabling dynamic driving even on rough roads. The reliable gearbox is sealed with a built-in differential gear. Hard acceleration on a grippy surface will let you lift the front wheels with the included rear wheelie bar.

Note

The body shell is constructed with ABS plastic and requires Tamiya TS paints if you wish to change the colour.

Highlights

Bathtub Chassis

Bathtub Chassis

The main frame is a lightweight and strong ABS resin bathtub chassis that allows easy installation and maintenance of the internal parts. The battery is mounted at the lowest position for a lowered centre of gravity.

Independent Suspension

Independent Suspension

The front suspension is an independent type swing axle system. The steering system is equipped with the servo mounted diagonally and uses a 2-split rod.

Wheelie Bar

Wheelie Bar

The rear suspension features a strong rolling rigid design for durability and stability, while the included wheelie bar prevents the vehicle from tipping over during wheelies, allowing for exciting stunts and safe driving.

Eye Catching Wheels

Eye Catching Wheels

The truck is equipped with 115mm hollow rubber rug pattern tyres that provide superior grip and ground clearance for tackling challenging terrain. The stylish yellow one-piece rims enhance the truck's overall aesthetic and complement its off-road capabilities.

Independent Swing Axle

Independent Swing Axle

The chassis features independent swing axle front suspension and a rolling rigid rear suspension with coil springs and CVA oil shocks. The diagonally mounted steering servo and two-piece tie rod provide precise control, while the sealed gearbox houses the differential gear for smooth and efficient operation.
