SOLD
I decided to build this as soon as I saw it.....Hot Rod pickups are really appealing to me......
It is totally standard at the moment...so nothing to report on the technical side. Sorry to those who like big long breakdowns of the specification lol
I wanted to do it red as my Midnight Pumpkin (yet to be built) will be black......I am also tempted to do one yellow lol (as shown on the side of the box)
There is a brilliant area to drive next to Airbus in Broughton......totally flat as it is an industrial estate.....where I will drive this on my own track design (I have domes and cones)
I hope you like her! :)
EDIT : standard pinion, fully ball-raced bearings

I like this a lot in red! Well done.

Looks good in red, makes those flames pop. I can think of at least ONE good thing about that front bumper that seems noone likes, you can grab the car and run away from whereever you are driving it and someone catches you and tells you to leave. I also think there might be an easy solution for those extra bodymount holes, when you snip off the real set of body posts, just stick them in the extra holes and trim them and paint them the same color. DONE.
Pintopower promises that someday we will have better looking taillights for the Pumpkins, I can't wait to get a real 3D taillight as these have always looked a little flat to me.

I don't notice the holes...or the bumper. It serves a purpose to protect the front....and when you look down on the car (as you do when driving it) your line of sight misses the bumper anyway.

That looks very nice in red. I've been thinking of painting my Midnight Pumpkin in Red but wasn't sure how it'd look with the purple flame decals. What can I say? Good job there!

Thanks guys!
The build was actually very enjoyable....lots of small parts in the M-06 chassis.....
Next on-roader will be the Renault Alpine....which I am looking forward to!

The bumper protects the front and you don't notice it when looking down at the car.....!

Looks good, I will be building mine in a few weeks, I am currently working on filling all the holes Tamiya have left in that are not needed.
