The Tamiya Land Cruiser 40 has enjoyed a long run in the RC hobby since 2008 thanks to its authentic silhouette and reliable kit format. This edition mounts the classic shell on the CC-02 chassis, marrying period-correct styling with improved underbody engineering for realistic scale running.
The CC-02 chassis uses a ladder frame for structural strength and features a 4WD system where the motor sits longitudinally behind the front axle. The separated gearbox and transfer case help deliver torque to both axles, and the four-link rigid suspension with CVA oil-filled dampers provides composed articulation on uneven trails.
Tamiya has added carefully moulded accessories for a more authentic finish. The roof rack with lamp pods is supplied in separate parts for easy fitting, while silver 12-spoke wheels and block-pattern tyres add a rugged profile. The updated sticker set includes tinted window and frame decals to speed up finishing without extensive painting.
The Tamiya 58715-60A Land Cruiser 40 on the CC-02 chassis delivers a satisfying build experience and a scale-accurate model suited to collectors and off-road hobbyists who value authenticity and straightforward upgrades.
