Scale Off-Roader: Toyota Land Cruiser 40 on the GF-01

This Tamiya Toyota Land Cruiser 40 model on the GF-01 chassis suits builders who want a tough-looking scale truck for trail and backyard runs. It pairs the Land Cruiser's classic silhouette with a practical 4WD layout for confident driving.

Design Highlights of the GF-01

The GF-01 moves beyond older 2WD designs by using a centre motor and dual gearbox system for front and rear drive. That configuration helps the model maintain composure on loose or uneven ground and improves overall balance.

Realistic Bodywork and Wheel Setup

The polycarbonate pick-up body captures the Land Cruiser 40 proportions, with dimensions around 333mm long and 244mm wide. Metal-plated 5-spoke wheels and 110mm block tyres complete the model's tough off-road appearance.

Performance Parts and Practical Play

Independent double wishbone suspension with friction dampers delivers controlled movement, while the sealed gear differential keeps driveline wear to a minimum. The 540 Torque Tuned motor included gives ample, user-friendly power for most off-road scenarios.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Drive-train: 4WD
  • Suspension: Fully independent double wishbone
  • Motor: 540 Torque Tuned brushed type
  • Body material: Polycarbonate
  • ESC: Included

Whether you are new to RC or looking for a reliable scale runner, the GF-01 based Land Cruiser 40 offers a straightforward build and dependable on-track manners, ready to accept further tuning.

Basic modelling tools like side cutters, hobby knife, small screwdrivers and polycarbonate paints are needed. A small set of metric hex drivers is also useful for assembly.
The included 540 Torque Tuned motor is fine for stock use; builders looking for more speed or torque can swap to other 540-class motors that match the gearbox mounting and ESC capabilities.
Yes, the GF-01 chassis allows adjustments to ground clearance and tyre choice. Changing shocks or wheel offsets will affect handling and clearance for different driving styles.
A 2-channel radio with a reliable steering servo is sufficient. Use a compatible 7.2V battery pack and a suitable charger; this kit includes the ESC for basic electronics integration.
