Tamiya Electric RC Car Series Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Pickup Quad Truck 58704 1/12 No.704 1/12RC (GF-01FT Chassis)

This is an assembly kit of an electric radio control car that comically reproduces the long-selling model "40" pickup truck, which was released from 1960 to 1984 during the long history of production starting in the 1950s, and is equipped with triangular track units (tracks) in place of the front and rear tires. The chassis is based on the gear drive 4WD GF-01, which has a motor mounted in the center of the monocoque frame and transmits power to the front and rear wheels using gears. Track units have a wider ground contact area than tires, making them less likely to get stuck on rough roads such as snowy fields, sandy beaches, and muddy roads, providing stable grip and expanding the field of driving. The chassis is based on the gear drive 4WD GF-01, and uses the GF-01FT with front and rear tires changed to track units. The track unit is installed together with the upright parts, and the power from the drive shaft is transmitted to the track by the sprocket wheel. Eight rollers are placed on the ground surface. It has a swing mechanism, and the third roller can move up and down independently. This further improves ground contact. Of course, the generous road clearance provided by the track unit is also a big attraction on rough roads. The truck is made of resin and uses a connected assembly type using metal pins. There is less drive loss compared to rubber, and smooth running is possible even at low speeds. In addition, there are two types of tops (tracks): a flat standard type and a grocer type with protrusions. You can choose according to the driving road surface.
