Jeepy2013 464 Posted May 4, 2022 Recently rescued this original release Midnight Pumpkin from someone that didn't want it anymore. Speed control has been upgraded to a Tamiya ESC and LED's added to the headlights. Not a bad paint job/theme, just have to fix a chip of paint missing in the hood really. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Willy iine 13587 Posted May 4, 2022 Nice find, @Jeepy2013! These Pumpkins are so much fun to look at. I don't have an actual Midnight Pumpkin, but I have a CW01 Unimog and it's a blast driving that thing over jumps and all. Have fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of kit in the background there . I see future projects and such 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeepy2013 464 Posted May 11, 2022 Was able to get a few things done on the Pumpkin yesterday. Replaced the notorious broken axle springs, mixed up some paint touched up the big chip on hood, updated the radio from Am to a FlySky GT2B and made some adjustments to the steering links. Back up and running now! Small test run video clip: Video.mov 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
87lc2 2048 Posted May 12, 2022 Really like the paint on this thing, very 90s. Red headlights are cool as well. Never had a Pumpkin, might have to get one. Always liked it a bit more than the Lunchbox with that cool 50s Ford body. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
