Kyosho 34801T2 Land Cruiser 60 on KC10 chassis: a close inspection of the 1/10 crawler
The Kyosho 34801T2 pairs a faithful Toyota Land Cruiser 60 shell with the newly developed KC10 crawler platform. The Readyset arrives factory-assembled with radio gear and a pistol-grip transmitter, presenting a model that emphasizes scale appearance and a mechanically robust layout rather than lightweight speed-oriented design.
Chassis layout and suspension intent
The KC10 main frame is a pressed-steel assembly that prioritizes rigidity and protection for components. Suspension uses a 3-link front arrangement with a lateral locating rod and a 4-link rear layout, delivering controlled articulation and axle location during slow-speed crawling. Oil-filled shocks with multiple piston options are fitted to allow a range of damping responses suitable for rock crawling and trail obstacles.
Drivetrain and gearbox characteristics
This Readyset is built around a shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain. The KC10 gearbox houses the internal gearing prepared to accept a 2-speed transmission and the optional DIG function. In stock Readyset form the transmission is set to low gear and DIG is disabled, while factory optional kits enable a 2-speed setup and DIG switching from the transmitter for those seeking extra mechanical features.
Bodywork, scale detailing and hardware
The body reproduces the Toyota Land Cruiser 60 silhouette, including a separate roof rack and rear ladder to boost scale presence. A clipless body mounting system keeps the profile clean by eliminating visible pins. The Readyset includes a high-torque 15kg-class steering servo and a sturdy 550-size G32L brushed motor selected for torque at low speeds, plus a pre-installed receiver housed in a sealed protective case.
Suitability and collector appeal
As a ready-to-run crawler with detailed bodywork, the 34801T2 suits hobbyists who prioritise scale realism and mechanical authenticity. Its KC10 backbone and full 4WD drivetrain give it the mass and traction required for trail and rock crawling. The model also appeals to collectors who value an accurate exterior paired with a purpose-built crawling chassis.
