Tamiya 47305 - Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up Retro GF-01 Kit  [47305]

Discover the Tamiya Toyota Land Cruiser 40 on the GF-01 Platform

Hobbyists who value classic design with modern chassis engineering will appreciate the Tamiya Toyota Land Cruiser 40 built on the GF-01 platform. This model honours the rugged heritage of the Land Cruiser 40 while bringing a dependable 4WD layout to scale RC play.

GF-01 Chassis Overview

The GF-01 departs from previous 2WD Tamiya layouts by offering a 4WD arrangement inspired by proven models. With a centrally mounted motor driving front and rear gearboxes, the chassis delivers balanced traction and predictable handling across rough surfaces.

Land Cruiser Body and Scale Presence

The polycarbonate Land Cruiser 40 body is a faithful scale recreation with a pick-up rear section. At roughly 333mm long and 244mm wide, the model has a strong stance enhanced by 5-spoke metal-plated wheels and large 110mm block-pattern tyres for realistic off-road looks.

Suspension, Drive and On-Track Enjoyment

Fully independent double wishbone suspension with friction dampers smooths out bumps, while the sealed gear differential provides reliable drivetrain performance. The included 540 Torque Tuned motor gives accessible power, and a small driver figure adds visual authenticity to the finished kit.

This Tamiya GF-01 kit with the Land Cruiser 40 body is a solid pick for builders who want a blend of period styling and practical off-road capability. It handles upgrades well and makes a satisfying scale project.
