Classic Look, Modern Chassis: Tamiya 58589-60A Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up

The Tamiya 58589-60A Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up brings the boxy, functional style of the original Land Cruiser to a 1/12 scale RC kit. The GF-01 chassis underneath is aimed at delivering dependable 4WD handling across different terrains.

Chassis Improvements for Practical Driving

The GF-01 differs from earlier 2WD Tamiya kits by featuring a full 4-wheel drive system and a central motor position that shares power evenly between front and rear gearboxes. That setup enhances traction and gives more consistent handling on rough ground.

Scale Detail and Durable Components

The polycarbonate body maintains the Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up profile and mounts over an independent double wishbone suspension system with friction dampers. Metal-plated 5-spoke wheels fitted with 110mm tyres are ready for mixed-surface running and casual trail use.

Electronics and Adjustment Options

With a 540 Torque Tuned motor included, the kit requires a separate ESC, 2-channel radio and a 7.2V battery to operate. Owners can alter gear ratios and ride height to prioritise torque for obstacles or speed for open runs.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Drive-train: 4WD
  • Suspension: Independent double wishbone
  • Motor: 540-brushed type
  • Body Material: Polycarbonate
  • ESC: Not Included

The Tamiya 58589-60A Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up is ideal for those who enjoy hands-on builds and want a scale truck that responds well to setup changes.

Yes, with its double wishbone suspension and 110mm tyres the model is capable on light trails and rough lawns, though very technical rock crawling may require upgrades.
Basic modelling tools are enough for body trimming and painting, plus a small screwdriver set for the chassis assembly and electronics fitment.
Regular checks of driveline joints, gear mesh and tyre wear will keep performance consistent. Clean out dirt after wet runs and re-lubricate where the manual recommends.
Yes, wheel and tyre swaps are common. Make sure new wheels match the hub fit and allow adequate clearance for suspension travel.
The polycarbonate shell is compatible with RC-specific paints; mask areas for trim and practise thin coats to avoid weight gain or runs.
