Kyosho 34801T2 Toyota Land Cruiser 60 on KC10 chassis: a focused look at a 1/10 scale crawler
The Kyosho 34801T2 pairs a faithful Toyota Land Cruiser 60 shell with the newly developed KC10 crawler platform. The Readyset arrives factory-assembled with radio gear and a pistol-grip transmitter, presenting a model that stresses scale appearance and robust mechanical layout over lightweight speed-oriented design.
Chassis layout and suspension intent
The KC10 main frame is a pressed-steel assembly that prioritizes rigidity and component protection. Suspension uses a 3-link front arrangement with a lateral locating rod and a 4-link rear layout, providing predictable articulation and axle control during slow-speed crawling. Oil-filled shocks with multiple piston options are fitted to allow a range of damping responses appropriate for rock crawling and trail obstacles.
Drivetrain and gearbox characteristics
This Readyset is built around a shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain. The KC10 gearbox houses the internal gearing needed to support a 2-speed transmission and the optional DIG function. In stock Readyset form the transmission sits in low gear and DIG is disabled, while a 2-speed kit and a DIG kit are offered as factory options for those who want additional mechanical functions controlled from the transmitter.
Bodywork, scale detailing and hardware
The body reproduces the Toyota Land Cruiser 60 silhouette, including a separate roof rack and rear ladder to enhance scale presence. A clipless body mounting system keeps the profile clean by removing visible pins. The Readyset specification includes a high-torque 15kg-class steering servo and a robust 550-size G32L brushed motor chosen for torque delivery at low speeds, plus a pre-installed receiver in a sealed protective case.
Suitability and collector appeal
As a ready-to-run crawler with detailed bodywork, the 34801T2 suits hobbyists who value scale realism and mechanical authenticity. Its KC10 backbone and full 4WD drivetrain give it the weight and traction needed for trail and rock crawling. The model also has appeal for collectors who prioritize an accurate exterior combined with a purpose-built crawling chassis.
