Anyone have one of these as a kid? I did.


I was big into R/C as a kid. Think the "pumpkin" left a mark on my brain.... Must have as I now have a 1:1 scale model going on in my garage....

 

Yup
Had one. Painted red, then white, then yellow, then yellow n white... Loved the wheelies

Remember the i think Econoline van that used the same chassis?

 

I have a new in the box midnight pumpkin body kit, well I guess its a body kit as it has never been opened! I purchased it about 20 years ago

 

It was the " lunch box "

 

Doh... Just watched the video. It was a Dodge sport van. Knew I didn't like it for some reason

 

I never had one Nick but now that I've seen it I wish I had. Did they make them in the 56 too?

 

Don't think so John. They had the Pumpkin and the Blackfoot which was a mid 80's F150. They still make them! Actually thinking of buying one for my "sand box" buddy this Christmas. Favorable memories from those R/C days... For sure...

 

Can I come and play?.....lol

 

^ Sure. Bring your plastic welder huh?

 

More recent RC vehicles can fit this body - I'm still into this stuff in my 40's, my son will rock some of these on my dime for sure.. Check the bed!!!

I get most of my RC stuff from Tower Hobby. They still sell the Midnight Pumpkin.
