3. Key Features
- Toyota Licensed LC80 Body: A highly detailed 1/10 scale replica of the Land Cruiser 80, featuring a PC blister soft shell with two-color spraying for a realistic finish. Includes high-simulation figures, an exquisite dashboard, and a detailed cockpit interior.
- Realistic Exterior Details: Equipped with functional rearview mirrors, waders, a roof rack with four orange off-road searchlights, and a standard rear ladder. Pre-installed fenders help prevent mud splash.
- Brushless Power System: Features a 50A independent brushless ESC paired with a 3541 outrunner brushless motor, providing delicate linear control and excellent low-speed crawling capability.
- Magnetic Interface & Lighting System: The car shell utilizes a magnetic interface to draw power from the chassis. A remote control button activates a full lighting expression, including factory headlights, front turn signals, side turn signals, rear turn signals, and reversing lights.
- FCX10 Simulated Climbing Chassis: Designed with a mainstream mid-front power layout and four-link suspension. Larger diameter tires ensure sufficient ground clearance and climbing ability. The mid-front motor and gearbox assembly contribute to a lower center of gravity, reducing the likelihood of rollovers.
- Convenient Inspection & Maintenance: The battery compartment features a flip-back or quick-release knob-type structure for easy access. The power supply and signal lines for the light set are integrated with a magnetic module for simplified connection.
