The Land Cruiser 40 has a storied history as a rugged off-road vehicle. Tamiya 58564 Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Black Special reproduces that classic silhouette at 1/10 scale on the flexible CC-01 platform. With tyres sourced from the Toyota Tundra kit, the model gains authentic stance and off-road presence suited to scale trail events.
The CC-01 chassis is prized for simple, robust engineering. Its shaft-driven 4WD delivers steady power to all wheels for traction on varied ground. The combination of an independent front suspension and a solid axle at the rear offers a realistic driving feel, while oil-filled dampers help control bounce over rough sections. The layout makes setup and maintenance straightforward for club-level use.
Tamiya has used polycarbonate to capture the Land Cruiser's body lines and trim. LED equipped head and tail lights increase realism for evening runs and display. Narrow 26mm metal-plated wheels wrapped in large diameter tyres add a period-correct look while aiding ground clearance and bite.
This Tamiya 58564 Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Black Special balances authentic scale detail with a dependable chassis layout, making it a strong choice for scale enthusiasts and trail drivers alike.
