Pumpkin New Build

[mickycivic]

Just got my new pumpkin kit today all ready to build! Bit of a cop out on the whole painting thing as its a chrome one, but can't wait to get it all sorted, can't believe how shiney they are!

Currently have 2 lots of nice new CVA short shocks to go on too. Not gonna build it though til I have eveything ready to go, going brushless, 3rd shock, fully bearing'd, front strut... etc.

Wanted to ask do tamiya or anyone do a light kit for it?

Also, are there any tips or things to look out for when I build it as I haven't put one together before?

Thanks in advance!

I bought the R/C Light bulb set Item 50320 for my Pumpkin, it comes with the light bulb holders and the screws and the power wire/adapter,

Don't know if the lights are the same for the lunchy but you get 2 light bulbs for the front lights!

Hope that helps

I think Tower Hobbies has the light kit or Modellsport uk maybe.I`d build the CVA`s with both the spacers inside(overall lenghth 77mm)this way the front camber angle comes out pretty level.The third shock on the back will need to be longer.Other than this not much to it, you might have to adjust the steering links a bit.Nice to see your getting all the good stuff,have fun with it.

The #50320 light bulb set is pretty dim. 5mm LEDs are far brighter and don't get as hot running for extended amounts of time. Bulbs do look more scale though with it's incandescent light.

Excellent cheers guys.

Are there any common problems to watch out for when building from scratch?
