Tamiya 58405 1/10 Toyota Land Cruiser 40 CR-01 Scale Crawler Kit  [58405]

Authentic Scale Crawler: Tamiya 58405 Land Cruiser 40

The Tamiya 58405 combines a faithful Toyota Land Cruiser 40 shell with the purpose-built CR-01 chassis to deliver an authentic crawler feel. The polycarbonate body keeps the silhouette true to the original while remaining light enough for technical lines.

Robust CR-01 Frame Design

The CR-01 features a pressed aluminum ladder frame and resin cross members that provide a sturdy platform without excess mass. This construction helps the model absorb impact and maintain stability on rough trails.

Drive Train and Ratio Choices

Standard fitment uses a planetary gearbox with a 20T pinion, giving a 40.5:1 ratio. Builders can swap pinions from 16T to 25T to get ratios from 50.6:1 down to 32.4:1. The kit includes a 540 motor; you will need to supply an ESC, a 2-channel radio and a 7.2V battery to complete the setup.

Linkage Suspension for Articulation

The 4-link coil spring suspension delivers the articulation needed for line-holding on uneven rock. Inboard dampers tied to a stabilizer torsion bar help balance body movement for predictable handling.

Large Diameter Wheels and Tyres for Clearance

Three-piece beadlock wheels with 125mm diameter and 56mm wide crawler tyres lift the chassis and increase traction. This wheel and tyre combo is tailored to slow, controlled crawling over obstacles.

Tamiya 58405 on the CR-01 chassis is a strong starting point for hobbyists who want a realistic, tuneable crawler that responds well to upgrades and setup changes.
