midnight pumkin

[grnlux]

Any body know what the pumkin shares its parts with? and if they can be used on other kits just bought an avarage condition one and need to know if it is worth getting it to run or salvage for parts?

Hi if you take a look at the cars section on the TC homepage and select the Pumpkin it'll tell you there which other cars are similar

hi,

you can use many parts also from Grasshopper, Hornet and Mitsubishi Pajero (front suspension and gear case).

dont forget the lunchbox has the same chassis, the wheels can be interchanged with blackfoot, monster beetle ect..

As far as I remember Pumpkin wheels are smaller.

Cheers

oooop yea should have been a bit clearer there [:I][]

what i meant was you can put the monster beetle/blackfoot wheels and tyres straight onto the pumpkin, it makes it stand taller, and roll over faster []

you can also put the pumpkin wheels/tyres on a blackfoot.

but you cant put the mb/blackfoot tyres onto the pumpkin wheels, only the hole thing is interchangable, as the wheel mounts on these trucks are all the same.

so yea DJTheo your write, the monster beetle style wheels are larger in diametre, and there not as wide as the pumpkin ones.

also if i remember correctly is that you get the full set of bp1 (spring mount its in the press parts bag)with the midnight pumpkin kit and with the lunchbox kit you only get two bp1's for the front shockers but i maybe wrong on that one! so dont hold it against me!

I'm not sure of that TamiyaTank man, but it could well be. Something like the Sand Rover had a mount for the 540 motor and the Holiday Buggy didn't... [?]

Those BP1 part are supposedly those parts that you need when hopping up to oil shocks. The Grasshopper 2 needs the same parts when hopping up to oil shocks (as on a 'Super G' or Super Hornet). []

I heared they can be a pain to get afterwards becsaue people tend to throw away what they don't immediately need - which shows when you buy the car second hand. 'Throw away what you don't need yet' seems to be the fashion these days, sadly... [V]
