Scale builders and RC fans who enjoy period vehicles will value the Tamiya Land Cruiser 40 brought to life on the GF-01 chassis. The kit captures the vintage utility of the original while offering the benefits of four-wheel drive in a compact package.
Unlike earlier 2WD platforms, the GF-01 employs a central motor arrangement that powers both front and rear gearboxes. This produces a more even power delivery and improves traction for trail running and uneven surfaces.
The polycarbonate pick-up body accurately mirrors the Land Cruiser 40 profile, and the overall footprint of about 333mm by 244mm gives a convincing scale presence. The kit comes with metal-plated 5-spoke wheels and large 110mm block tyres for added realism.
With independent double wishbone suspension and friction dampers, the GF-01 offers a composed ride. The sealed differential aids longevity and the included 540 Torque Tuned motor supplies user-friendly performance for general off-road use.
The GF-01 Land Cruiser 40 kit is a straightforward build that balances scale accuracy with practical drivability, making it a good choice for collectors and active RC enthusiasts alike.
