Overview

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.

Note

This body shell comes completely unpainted and may or may not require body post holes to be drilled. Only use polycarbonate-safe paint such as the Tamiya PS series to finish this body — standard paints will not adhere and/or may cause damage to the body shell's surface.

Highlights

Square Chassis

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.

Customisable

The Tamiya Tracked range offers customisable grip with two included link types: grouser and standard. Configure the links in different patterns to achieve the optimal traction for your chosen terrain.

Innovative Track Units

The innovative track units feature eight individual rollers and a sprung third roller for exceptional adaptability and grip. These tracks can even swing to maintain contact with the surface, ensuring maximum traction on any terrain.

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

The GF-01 chassis is engineered for balanced performance and maximum efficiency. The centrally located motor ensures equal power distribution to all four wheels, improving traction and control on any terrain.
