TheMidnight Pumpkin

I win! I found one on eBay. It’s an Exceed RC 1/8 crawler. Doh!

Mystery 1/8 scale crawler - can you identify it?

Running some Clods at our track.

With 4 wheel steering you shouldn’t need to remove the limiters. Full lock to lock steering will turn surprisingly better than expected. I hope I helped. Thanks

You might also check these steering limiters on your axles. See attached picture. Stock tires/rims should not hit the suspension if these limiters are in place.

I made a teeter-totter for my tongue depressor crawler track. It’s super difficult to actually balance on it. Fun stuff

A new mostly stock Clod is born.

Another vintage ready to run.

So maybe I need a better name? 😜 Introducing: Tongue Depressor Crawler Track!!!

It’s funny the timing of this topic as I’m restoring 2 Clod-A-Leaver trucks right now.

Anyone ever remove/strip the chrome off a Pumpkin body? If so how did you do it? How clean is the body afterwards? My thoughts on these questions are the OG pumpkin bodies were made in white plastic. I’d like to have one in white without paying the ridiculous price online for one. So the obvious answer would be to strip the chrome off one. Thoughts? Thanks

Found these silly knockoffs online, thought you guys would enjoy the giggle…. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCKVPCGX/ref=sspa_ma_ct_pt_expsub_8/?_encoding=UTF8&ie=UTF8&psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tb2JpbGVfY2FydF9wZXJjb2xhdGU%3D&pd_rd_w=a1uWj&pf_rd_p=9d9dee09-6a09-4362-b70e-b378d7f112d4&pf_rd_r=0PWXD9WMF4H697FX8N0V&pd_rd_wg=ZO7Q8&pd_rd_r=a3bf100c-4799-457f-be0a-df26c5e5d78b&content-id=amzn1.sym.9d9dee09-6a09-4362-b70e-b378d7f112d4&ref_=sspa_ma_ct_pt_expsub&th=1 Today I've been struggling with the fancy TT02B that comes with all the blue aluminum “hopups”. The Tamiya brand spur gear propeller shaft included is actually bent straight out of the box. So now I’ve gotta wait for replacements to arrive…. 🫤

Hello, is there a list of Tamiya brushed motors showing weakest to most powerful that someone could share? Thanks It would be nice to know motor output/RPM’s etc to better match motors to specific kits.
