The Toyota Land Cruiser 40 has been a staple subject for Tamiya since 2008, first appearing on the CR-01 crawler chassis then later the CC-01. Now it makes its way on to Tamiya's newest cross-country platform, the CC-02, with detail tweaks for the scale enthusiast.
The CC-02 chassis is built for various off-road terrains including rocky surfaces. Its ladder frame takes inspiration from real-life vehicles and provides excellent durability. The 4WD setup features a longitudinal motor placed behind the front axle, a separate gearbox and transfer case, and propeller shafts that transmit power to the differential gears at the front and rear. Its four-link rigid suspension comes with CVA oil shocks providing comprehensive control on rocky sections. This model includes matte plated seven-spoke wheels and block pattern tyres for better grip.
Note
This kit comes without an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC). This body shell comes completely UNPAINTED. Only use a polycarbonate style paint such as the Tamiya PS series to finish these bodies, as standard paints will not adhere and/or cause damage to the body shell's surface.
