The Tamiya Land Cruiser 40 has been a favourite in the RC scene since its 2008 debut. Celebrated for its rugged silhouette and dependable kit engineering, this model evolved through several chassis platforms before arriving on the CC-02. This version keeps the authentic styling while upgrading scale detail and handling for hobbyists who enjoy building and running a realistic 4x4.
Underneath the body sits the purpose-built CC-02 ladder frame, modelled after full-size off-road architecture for improved strength. The 4WD layout positions the motor longitudinally behind the front axle and separates gearbox and transfer case for clean power delivery to both axles. The rigid four-link suspension paired with CVA oil dampers gives controlled wheel articulation and damping when tackling rocks, roots or loose trails.
This release adds fine exterior touches for scale realism. The roof rack with light pods is supplied as separate moulded parts for easy assembly and a realistic look. Silver 12-spoke wheels and block-pattern tyres provide a purposeful stance, while the new sticker set includes tinted window and frame decals to reduce painting time and speed up finishing.
The Tamiya 58715-60A Land Cruiser 40 on the CC-02 chassis blends classic styling with purpose-built off-road mechanics, making it a satisfying kit for collectors and trail runners who enjoy a hands-on build.
