Description
Please Note:

This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.

Toyota's Land Cruiser is one of the most recognisable 4WD vehicles in the world, especially the 40 Series, which was sold from 1960 to 1984. This R/C kit features the Toyota Land Cruiser 40 mounted on the GF-01FT chassis with a twist — it includes track units in place of tyres, so you can traverse dirt, snow, gravel, and other terrain in a whole new way. The model is based on the gear-driven 4WD GF-01FT chassis featuring a monocoque frame with power provided by the centrally-positioned motor via front/rear differential gears. A "square" layout with similar wheelbase and tread measurements provides unique performance. Choose between two types of track links: standard flat designs and toothed grouser designs. A lightweight polycarbonate body and driver figure are included.
