Since its launch in 2008 the Tamiya Land Cruiser 40 has earned a strong following for its authentic replica looks and sturdy kit design. This edition places that classic body onto the CC-02 chassis to combine period correct styling with a platform built for trail duty and scale realism.
The CC-02 uses a ladder frame construction for durability and a 4WD system that positions the motor longitudinally behind the front axle. With a separate gearbox and transfer case, torque is sent cleanly to both differentials. The rigid four-link suspension and CVA oil-filled shock absorbers deliver stable articulation and damping for mixed-surface driving.
Tamiya included a number of scale parts to streamline finishing. The roof rack and lamp pods come as separate mouldings, while silver 12-spoke wheels and chunky block tyres add a rugged look. The revised sticker set includes tinted window and frame decals, cutting down on painting time for those who want a quick, tidy build.
With its combination of vintage bodywork and a capable CC-02 chassis, the Tamiya 58715-60A Land Cruiser 40 is a strong choice for builders who want a realistic scale truck ready for modification and trail use.
