The Toyota FJ Cruiser recalls the spirit of the FJ40 Land Cruisers with its retro lines and robust stance. Debuted as a concept in 2003 and launched into production in 2005, its bold design elements are faithfully captured in this RC rendition, including the round headlights, muscular fenders, and the trademark triple windscreen wipers.
At the centre of the Tamiya 58588 is the CC-01 Cross Country chassis, a versatile layout built for varied terrain. The kit features full-time 4WD for predictable handling, front double wishbone suspension and a rear 4-link solid axle, together with four CVA oil dampers that help smooth out rough trails.
The FJ Cruiser body is moulded from tough polycarbonate to resist impacts during off-road use. Separate parts such as mirrors, grille, lamp housings and a spare tyre cover are supplied to enhance realism and make finishing touches straightforward for model builders.
The CC-01 chassis allows adjustments to gear ratios, ground clearance and wheelbase so hobbyists can tune handling. A lockable rear differential improves traction in sticky situations, and the kit is compatible with ESCs that support both brushed and brushless motor setups for flexible power choices.
The Tamiya 58588 RC Toyota FJ Cruiser is well suited to builders who enjoy accurate scale appearance and dependable off-road performance. It makes a solid starting point for trail running or a detailed build for experienced modders.
