The Tamiya Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Pickup GF-01 RC Kit brings a legendary off-roader to life in a fun and exciting 1/12 scale model. This assembly kit recreates the iconic Land Cruiser 40, a pioneering 4WD that has been a conquering force on any terrain since the 1950s, in hilarious comical style. This R/C model features a detailed polycarbonate pickup truck body, complete with a resin driver figure, capturing the rugged spirit of this classic 4x4. The Land Cruiser 40 Pickup is built on the GF-01 chassis, a gear-driven 4WD platform designed for unstoppable off-road performance. With its lightweight and tough monocoque frame, centrally positioned motor, and sealed gearbox, the GF-01 can handle any challenge you throw at it. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and friction dampers provide smooth and responsive handling, while the huge 110mm tyres grip any surface with ease. The 2-piece tie rod steering system ensures precise control, and a rear support bar with a roller helps prevent rollovers during aggressive driving. 

This kit is a must-have for the discerning collector or people looking for a unique and interesting building experience. 

Square Layout

The chassis is engineered for optimal balance and control, featuring a square layout and a nearly identical wheelbase and tread ratio. This design ensures predictable handling and consistent performance.

Wheelie Bar

The integrated wheelie bar, featuring a support bar with rollers, improves stability during wheelies, making it easier to control the vehicle and perform increasingly impressive stunts.

Smooth Handling

The car's steering system is engineered for maximum agility and responsiveness. The two-piece tie-rod design and strategically positioned servo work together to provide precise steering control and effortless manoeuvrability.

Double Wishbone Suspension

The GF-01 is engineered for extreme off-road capability. Its robust double wishbone suspension and finely tuned friction dampers provide exceptional ground clearance and articulation, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride over even the roughest terrain.

Centrally Positioned Motor
