Kyosho is making a big splash in 2026 with the release of a model that’s highly anticipated by fans of crawler: the KC10 Toyota Land Cruiser 60. This new "scale" comes in a Ready-To-Run (RTR) version, offering a remarkably faithful reproduction of a vehicle that has left its mark on automotive history.
The Land Cruiser 60, produced between 1980 and 1990, is a true legend on wheels. Renowned for its legendary durability in Africa, Australia, and the Middle East, this 4x4—capable of going almost anywhere—is now an icon among collectors. Before we see what this chassis is capable of, let’s take a moment to appreciate what immediately catches the eye: its breathtaking aesthetics.
An uncompromising “scale model” finish
As is often the case with Kyosho, realism is taken to the extreme thanks to an officially licensed body. This model doesn’t just reproduce the general lines; it’s packed with accessories that make all the difference for “scale” enthusiasts:
- Full features: It includes working LED headlights, windshield wipers, detailed side mirrors, and a roof rack equipped with a ladder.
- Adventurous look: The bumpers and bull bar reinforce its rugged appearance.
- Chassis details: Integrated wheel wells conceal the mechanical components for a flawless finish, complemented by an invisible body mounting system with no visible clips.
- Suspension: The KC10 tires, a faithful reproduction of a real-world model, are mounted on 1.9-inch rims—the industry standard for this category.
Robust, Traditional Mechanics
Beneath its elegant exterior, the KC10 conceals a technical architecture that meets current performance standards. Every detail has been carefully designed to provide a reliable foundation for both beginners and experienced modelers.
The chassis features exceptionally well-designed and realistic axles, housing an all-metal drivetrain. To ensure flawless traction on challenging terrain, the axles are, of course, locked.
- Powertrain: A 540-type brushless motor is mounted in the front to optimize weight distribution when navigating obstacles.
- Steering: A 15 kg servo with metal gears is mounted directly on the chassis for precise and durable steering.
- Suspension: Comfort and travel are ensured by four large-volume shock absorbers.
Field Test: Off-Road Capabilities Delivered
The real challenge for Kyosho was to combine this vintage aesthetic with genuine off-road capabilities. It seems to have succeeded: thanks to its high approach angles, the KC10 clears obstacles with ease. Its design allows for smooth maneuvering over rocks or in off-road, offering reliable and predictable handling in real-world conditions.
Ready to ride—or almost!
