## Description

This 1/12 scale R/C assembly kit of the Midnight pumpkin (first released in 1987) Features a highly detailed pick-up truck body that is reminiscent of the classic 1950S American designs. The special “black edition” body comes molded in black and is accentuated by the metal plated front grille, overhanging fenders, dampers and roll bar. All this detail sits on top of big 115mm diameter tires. The durable and easy-to-assemble 2WD chassis employs a box Type frame, front swing arm independent and rear rolling rigid suspension. Big 115mm diameter semi-pneumatic tires on yellow wheels offer dynamic running on even the toughest of surfaces. The sealed gearbox protects diff gear from dirt and sand during off-road driving and a rear mounted wheelie bar enables wild wheels in the air stunt driving. -Length: 385mm, Width: 290mm, height: 260mm -weight: 1, 560G (not including R/C mechanism and battery) -wheelbase: 207mm -tread: 212mm (Front), 216mm (rear) -F/R tire width/diameter: 115/71mm -ABS box Type frame -rear-wheel 2WD -suspension: independent swing arm (front), rolling rigid (rear) -F/R friction dampers -2-piece steering tie-rod -3-bevel differentials -gear ratio: 14.7: 1 -Type 540 motor -electronic speed controller (included)

Review: DO NOT BUY - I bought this, because I thought it was a good price for this kit. The description states that a speed control is included, so I thought it was an awesome price. The ESC is *not* included. I have to use a Hobbywing 1060 (nib that I already have on hand, luckily), and need to buy another one for a project I already have lined up. If you're thinking of buying this one, you're still going to have to come up with an ESC, which is at least $20, so tack that on to the price. UPDATE: The seller agreed to a $20 refund due to the lack of ESC.
Review: Misleading discription. - I purchased three of these Tamiya kits from this seller. All were advertised as containing ESC. Non had an ESC. Bad product discription. Will change feed back if ESC is provided.

Wonderful r/c kit that doesn’t take long to put together. Make sure to find compatible controller, receiver, servo, etc. to complete the build. Easily upgradable with suspension, motor, bearings, etc. to fit your terrain/usage.
