Unleash the Adventure with the Tamiya Toyota Land Cruiser 40 on GF-01 Chassis
For RC hobbyists who crave a blend of historical charm and modern innovation, the Tamiya Toyota Land Cruiser 40 on the GF-01 chassis is a must-have. This model celebrates the legacy of the Land Cruiser 40, a vehicle renowned for its robust nature and adaptability over its nearly 25-year production span. The GF-01 chassis takes this iconic off-road vehicle to new heights with an impressive 4WD setup.
Revolutionary GF-01 Chassis Design
The GF-01 chassis is a game-changer in Tamiya's lineup, drawing inspiration from successful models like the Wild Willy 2 and Volkswagen Type 2. Unlike its predecessors that featured a 2WD wheelie-friendly design, the GF-01 introduces a 4WD configuration. Its motor is strategically placed at the center, ensuring balanced power distribution to both front and rear gearboxes, making it ideal for tackling diverse terrains.
Authentic Land Cruiser Experience
Crafted with precision, the polycarbonate body of the Land Cruiser 40 is a faithful reproduction, complete with a pick-up style rear end. Its robust stature—measuring 333mm in length and 244mm in width—demands attention both on and off the track. The inclusion of 5-spoke metal-plated wheels paired with massive 110mm block-pattern tires ensures this monster truck is ready for any adventure you throw at it.
Engineered for Performance and Fun
Equipped with fully independent double wishbone suspension and friction dampers, the GF-01 chassis offers a smooth ride over rough surfaces. The gear differential system housed within a sealed gearbox provides reliable performance, while a 540 Torque Tuned motor ensures you have the power needed for thrilling off-road excursions. The kit also includes a driver figure, adding an extra layer of realism to your RC experience.
