The highly popular Toyota FJ Cruiser that is available on the Tamiya CC-01 (Cross Country) platform has found its way onto the CR-01 platform, for a limited time only.
The tough CR-01 chassis has a ladder frame featuring aluminum side channels, and resin cross members, as well as a 4-link rigid suspension with oil dampers actuated via aluminum push rods. This set-up gives the suspension stroke needed to handle rugged, rocky surfaces. The motor is placed in a central position, with planetary gears enabling low-speed shaft-driven 4WD. 125mm-diameter tires are fitted to bead lock wheels, and make an impressive combination with the lightweight and durable polycarbonate body.
Specifications

· Durable Polycarbonate body.
· Light cases are included to allow the use of separately-sold LEDs.
