The Tamiya 58589-60A Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up recreates the rugged profile of the original Land Cruiser in a compact 1/12 scale kit. Built on the GF-01 chassis, it offers a faithful look along with a chassis layout aimed at balanced off-road performance.
Unlike earlier 2WD sport models, the GF-01 brings a full 4WD drivetrain with a centrally mounted motor to even out power delivery between front and rear gearboxes. This improves stability on loose or uneven ground compared with two wheel drive platforms.
The clear polycarbonate body mirrors the Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up lines and pairs with double wishbone suspension on all four corners. The metal-look 5-spoke wheels and wide 110mm tyres provide grip and presence suitable for trail sessions or yard use.
Supplied with a 540 Torque Tuned motor, the kit needs a 2-channel radio, an ESC and a 7.2V battery to be completed. Once fitted, builders can fine tune gear ratios and clearance to suit slow technical runs or faster trail driving.
The Tamiya 58589-60A Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up is well suited to builders who enjoy period-correct scale looks with a chassis that invites setup changes.
