Tamiya 57880 1/12 Land Cruiser 40 GF-01 4WD Pick-Up RTR  [57880]

Classic Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Replica by Tamiya 57880

The Tamiya 57880 Toyota Land Cruiser 40 recreates the rugged, vintage character of the original in a compact 1/12 scale. The ready-to-run package pairs a pre-painted polycarbonate shell with the GF-01 4WD chassis for dependable handling across a variety of surfaces.

GF-01 Chassis Design and Drive Layout

The GF-01 layout centres the motor to drive both front and rear gearboxes, giving balanced traction and predictable behaviour on loose or firm ground. The monocoque-style frame keeps weight low while remaining sturdy, and the near-square wheelbase and track add to the model's stability during cornering.

Scale Accuracy and Factory Finish

Attention to scale is clear in the factory-applied paint and markings that save time on setup. A scale driver figure and accurate body contours lend realism, while the included Finespec 2.4GHz R/C and TEU-105BK ESC make the model ready to drive out of the box.

Who This Fits in the Garage

This Tamiya 57880 suits newcomers who want an easy RTR entry and experienced modders who value a solid platform for upgrades. Its straightforward maintenance and authentic styling make it a versatile pick for display or regular trail running.

The Tamiya 57880 blends period-correct styling with a modern GF-01 running gear to deliver a rewarding scale driving experience ideal for both display and light off-road use.
