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 aluminium side channels, and resin cross members, as well as a 4-link rigid suspension with oil dampers actuated via aluminium 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.
Separate parts are included to recreate side mirrors, grill and spare tire cover.
The CR-01 chassis? supreme climbing ability stems from the rigid 4-link suspension with front/rear stabilizers. It is fitted with push rod-actuated oil dampers, with coil springs to act as tension springs.
Front and rear 3-bevel differentials are lockable with a simple turn of a screw to provide even better traction in off-road conditions.
