Tamiya RC Kit 1/12 Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special Pre-Painted RC Monster Truck 1/12 Scale - 58365

Tamiya's 58365 Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Special is a 1/12 scale RC monster truck kit built on the CW-01 chassis, featuring a pre-painted metallic body that saves you the painting and finishing stage. The CW-01 is Tamiya's dedicated monster truck platform, designed around a high-clearance layout that handles rough surfaces, gravel, and uneven ground with ease. This is a kit build — assembly is required — making it a rewarding project for builders who enjoy the construction process as much as the driving. The pre-painted shell is a genuine time-saver, and the finished model has the chunky, characterful look the Midnight Pumpkin is known for.
