Description

Toyota's Land Cruiser needs little introduction — it was a pioneering 4WD vehicle in Japan and would become one of the most recognizable cars of its type in the world. Its history stretches back to the 1950s, including the 40 series produced from 1960–1984. This R/C model recreates the iconic off-roader with a polycarbonate pick-up truck style body and resin driver figure, mounted on the new gear-driven 4WD GF-01 chassis unit, using huge tires to hustle across poor terrain.

The GF-01 chassis is based around a lightweight and tough monocoque frame, with the centrally-positioned motor utilizing a 'square' setup with near-identical tread and wheelbase lengths. A sealed gearbox integrates into the frame and protects from dust and debris, while built-in front and rear differential gears provide smooth cornering, reinforced by 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and friction dampers, plus a 2-piece tie rod steering setup.

Features
  • Smooth handling thanks to the 2-piece steering tie-rod and steering servo positioned on the left
  • Double wishbone suspension is paired with friction dampers for excellent off-road performance
  • The centrally-positioned motor powers front and rear gears in a gear-driven 4WD setup
  • Polycarbonate body made from durable polycarbonate and comes with a driver figure
