The Toyota Land Cruiser has a long history as a tough, go-anywhere vehicle. The Land Cruiser 40 series is a classic 4WD icon, and Tamiya recreates it in 1/12 scale with the 58704 Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up Quadtrack mounted on the GF-01FT chassis for hobbyists who value durability and style.
This build swaps conventional wheels for compact track units, giving the model enhanced grip on mixed surfaces like dirt, packed snow, and loose gravel. The quadtrack layout changes handling characteristics and opens up new trail options compared with wheeled variants.
At the core is the GF-01FT chassis with a gear-driven 4WD arrangement. A monocoque frame keeps the centrally positioned motor protected while power is routed through front and rear differentials. The square footprint, with matching wheelbase and tread, helps deliver predictable balance on uneven ground.
The Tamiya 58704 lets you choose between two track link styles: a flatter link for smoother rolling and a more aggressive tread for deeper bite. These choices let you tune traction and behaviour to match sand, mud, or hardpack conditions.
For model builders and trail runners wanting something different, the Tamiya 58704 Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Quadtrack combines a faithful body with a rugged chassis and track options that suit a range of outdoor surfaces.
