Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin Metallic Edition Build

I picked this up recently since I had so much fun driving the Lunchbox and it was another on the “back in my day” build list! It was an easy kit to build and finish since there is little to no painting needed. I do need to go back and paint the tail lights and the grill lights but other than that there really isn’t much you need to do other than build it and sticker it up! Check the links below for some of the items I mentioned in the video. There are not sponsored links or anything, just trying to help you guys out!

Thanks! I want to get a lexan body for it so I can run it around more often! I really love the chrome look but it scratches so easily!!

@@AddamsPlayground Parma used to make a lexan midnight pumpkin body that was supposed to be a direct replacement. I don't know if their still in business anymore though.

@@flyingfortressrc1794 yeah, they still have them! Actually on sale right now for $29!

Have the same one. I just finished mine, I tore it apart and painted my chassis red, done chrome wheels, and a black body. Yours looks awesome!

Hello, where do you guys find lexan bodies for this car and the lunch box? I just can´t find them.

[@AddamsPlayground]

Parma was the only company I remember making clear bodies for them that looked really good. I am not sure who out there makes any for them. I have looked a few times myself and not had much luck. I have seen them occasionally on eBay for sale but not in the regular market for a long time. Wish I could be of some more help but they are not a common find!

How do you remove the chrome off of the body

[@AddamsPlayground]

You submerge it into the Super Clean degreaser for 12-24 hours and the chrome plating dissolves away leaving just the plastic surface. It doesn't bother the plastic at all. I have left some parts in it for weeks by accident and no harm to the plastics at all.

What size are those tires I am looking I am looking for different tires for my super black foot or my super black foot someone told me I can use those types I can use those type of tires Please comment back do you have any king Blackfoot RC trucks Please let me know thank you I like your collection

[@AddamsPlayground]

They will fit the rims of the Blackfoot. The Tamiya part number is TAM9805213. You can find them for about 20ish bucks for a set of 4 if you can find them in stock. They are a bit wider than the Blackfoot tires so they will help the stability of the truck a little. I do not have but The one Blackfoot, it is the super Blackfoot. It is a replacement for the one I had when I was a kid and was my first real RC. I drove the wheels off that thing! Hope you can find a set of tires in stock and enjoy driving yours!

Cool... I just upload my midnight pumpkin (crome)

I had 4 epileptic seizures! The second time when you watching this video don't forget to wear your sunglasses! Rims and body are very shinys

[@AddamsPlayground]

Right? When I walked into the garage after running it I could not see anything for a while! Very bright indeed!
