Description
The Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin RC Monster Truck Chrome Edition brings a humorous American pickup silhouette to the dirt with a high-shine Chrome-plated finish. This RC Monster Truck is built upon the dependable CW-01 chassis, which uses a high-strength box frame to manage the stresses of heavy jumps and aggressive acceleration. You will feel the immediate response of the rear-mounted motor as it easily powers the oversized tyres through backyard grass and loose gravel.

Every run provides a connected feel as the independent swing-arm suspension works with the large hollow tyres to absorb impacts on any surface.
