Tamiya 58365 Chrome Midnight Pumpkin Kit (Kit Without ESC or Custom Deal Bundle) Radio Controlled R/C Car Model Kit

This updated stylish version of Midnight Pumpkin features all the popular characteristics of the original, combined with a dark chrome body and silver-plated wheels for a more eye-catching appearance. The body, and parts H and J are plated using an advanced vacuum plating technique. Other parts remain the same as original kit, although an ESC is now used in place of the older mechanical unit, with new packaging used to easily distinguish this limited item from original kit version. A great product for Midnight Pumpkin fans or R/C drivers wanting a good looking and fun product.

2WD Chassis Mounted on Big 115mm Diameter tyres

The durable and easy-to-assemble 2WD chassis employs box type frame, front swing arm independent and rear rolling rigid suspension. Big 115mm diameter tyres offer dynamic running on even the toughest of surfaces. Sealed gearbox protects diff gear from dirt and sand during off-road driving. Rear mounted wheelie bar enables wild stunt driving. LIMITED REISSUE. Parts are available - see Tamiya Spare Parts Express

Notes from the Spanner Man: This model is 100% identical to the original except for a slight change to the stickers, strengthened steering rods and the mechanical speed control having been deleted from the kit. The only other change of course is that the body is chromed instead of being white, and no longer says FORD on the back panel.


Options Explained

Bearing Upgrade: These make the car run more smoothly and are easily installed during assembly. If there is no option for these shown, then the kit already includes the bearing upgrade as standard. These are entirely optional.

Radio System: There is a choice of a TWIN STICK (Traditional) radio or a Steering Wheel (Modern) radios. All operate on 2.4Ghz and use the new Crystal-Free technology, so you can run multiple cars at the same time without any interference. All radios chosen from this page will include a steering servo as these are not included in the kit itself.

ESC: This is the connection between the radio system and the motor. You have several choices. The standard Tamiya unit is currently unavailable due to the chip shortage, so Tamiya are offering a choice of a Tamiya Hobbywing or Carson Dragster (Tamiya Germany) units. Where a model number is shown (e.g. 20 or 15) that is the motor capacity of the unit - the lower the number, the more powerful a motor you can install later. All work with the motor in the kit.

Battery: The higher the number, the longer the run time.

Charger: Charge time is proportional to the battery you choose. Some examples - for the 1800 battery (others will take longer) - USB charger takes around 4 hours, Mid Speed around 2 to 3 hours, Etronix Fast Charger can be as quick as 30 minutes in the house and Ansmann Delta also around 30 minutes (and also works in the car).
