Classic Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Mounted on GF-01

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.

What Sets the GF-01 Apart

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.

Authentic Scale Looks and Handling

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.

Reliable Mechanics for Everyday Use

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.

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Drive-train: 4WD
  • Suspension: Fully independent double wishbone

  • ESC: Included

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.

Assembly time varies with experience but expect several evenings for careful builders. Painting the polycarbonate body and detailing can add extra time.
Yes, the GF-01 is designed for easy upkeep. The sealed gearbox reduces cleaning frequency and common wear parts are accessible for routine checks or replacements.
With careful gearing and tyre choices, the GF-01 can tackle light rock crawling, though it is primarily intended as a versatile scale off-roader rather than a specialist crawler.
Use polycarbonate-specific paints applied from inside the shell for best results. Thin coats and proper masking will preserve crisp details and a smooth finish.
