Overview

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 for the most realistic look possible. 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.
