Tamiya CW-01 Midnight Pumpkin RC Truck Electric 2WD 1/12 Scale Kit (No ESC) - Black Edition

The Midnight Pumpkin Black Edition (first released in 1987) features a highly detailed pick-up truck body reminiscent of classic 1950s American designs. The special Black Edition body comes moulded in black and is accentuated by a metal plated front grille, overhanging fenders, dampers, and roll bar — all sitting on big 115mm diameter tyres.

The CW-01 is a simple and easy-to-assemble 2WD chassis. The bathtub-type frame and suspension support 115mm hollow tyres with 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.

The highly detailed body is made of impact-resistant styrene resin. The roll bar, auxiliary lamps, and front and rear bumpers are metal parts. The main frame is a lightweight and strong ABS resin bathtub chassis that allows easy installation and maintenance of internal parts, with the battery mounted at the lowest position for a lowered centre of gravity.

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. The rear suspension is a strong rolling rigid type, equipped with a bar to prevent the vehicle from tipping over while performing wheelies. 115mm diameter hollow rubber rug pattern tyres are attached to yellow one-piece rims.
