Rediscover the Iconic Toyota FJ Cruiser with Tamiya's CC-01 Chassis
The Toyota FJ Cruiser stands as a modern homage to the classic FJ40 Land Cruisers, blending retro aesthetics with robust off-road capabilities. Unveiled as a concept at the 2003 North American International Auto Show, its production version was launched in 2005 following enthusiastic feedback. Now, Tamiya brings this legendary SUV to the RC world, meticulously replicating its distinctive features, including the prominent headlights, rugged fenders, and triple windscreen wipers.
The Heart of Performance: CC-01 Chassis
At the core of the Tamiya 58588 is the CC-01 Cross Country chassis, renowned for its adaptability across varied terrains. This chassis boasts a full-time 4WD system, ensuring stability and control whether you're navigating trails or tackling rougher paths. The front double wishbone suspension and rear 4-link rigid suspension, complemented by four CVA oil dampers, provide a smooth and realistic driving experience.
Detailed Craftsmanship Meets Durability
Constructed from durable polycarbonate, the FJ Cruiser's body is designed to withstand the rigors of off-road adventures. Tamiya includes separate components for added realism, such as side mirrors, grille, light cases, and a spare tire cover. These details not only enhance the visual appeal but also contribute to an authentic scale appearance.
Customization and Control
The CC-01 chassis allows for various adjustments, including gear ratios, ground clearance, and wheelbase, giving hobbyists the flexibility to tailor their setup for optimal performance. With a lockable rear differential and the inclusion of an ESC compatible with both brushed and brushless motors, this kit offers both novice and experienced builders a rewarding assembly experience.
