Tamiya 58589 - 1/12 RC Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up Truck Kit (GF01) Retro Off-Roader  [58589]

Scale off-roading with the Tamiya GF-01 Land Cruiser 40

The GF-01 chassis provides a compact, capable home for the Toyota Land Cruiser 40 body in 1/12 scale. The kit captures the truck's boxy charm while delivering a rugged driveline layout suited to recreational off-road RC sessions.

Classic looks meet practical modelling

Built originally for decades of service, the Land Cruiser 40's simple, functional design translates well to a scale kit. The model preserves the vehicle's distinctive silhouette while offering a platform ready for trail use.

Balanced 4WD and central motor benefits

A central motor arrangement sends power to both front and rear gearboxes, producing balanced traction across surfaces. The 4WD configuration helps the vehicle climb and track more predictably than equivalent 2WD models.

Chassis setup for predictable trail handling

Double wishbone suspension and bell-crank steering provide controlled articulation and steering response. Combined with friction dampers and block-pattern tyres, the chassis offers confidence on mixed terrain.

This Tamiya GF-01 Toyota Land Cruiser 40 kit is great for builders who enjoy authentic scale kits that are also capable out on the trail. It is adaptable and provides a strong base for upgrades.
