Description
Overview
The Tamiya Landfreeder Quadtrack is a fresh and unique twist on the RC world—a tracked off-road vehicle that delivers superlative traction through four individual track units instead of wheels. This assembly kit creates an R/C model truck designed for high performance on poor surfaces, capable of plowing through snow, sand, mud, and other testing conditions where traditional wheeled vehicles would struggle. The innovative TT-02FT chassis represents a new frontier in Tamiya off-road engineering.
The 1980s pickup truck style polycarbonate body comes pre-painted in Tamiya PS-5 Black with PS-31 Smoke windows, featuring chrome-look fog lamps, grille guard, and roll bar recreated using separate metal-plated parts. A polycarbonate chassis cover and wheel well liners protect the internals from dirt and debris. With four swinging track units, sprung rollers for obstacle negotiation, and the proven TT-02 architecture at its core, the Landfreeder Quadtrack opens up entirely new terrain possibilities.

Usage Notes
The Landfreeder Quadtrack excels on challenging surfaces including snow, sand, mud, gravel, and rough terrain where wheeled vehicles would struggle. The track units provide incredible traction but are designed for moderate speeds and technical terrain navigation rather than high-speed running. The pre-painted body requires only sticker application. Compatible with brushless motors (sensored) of 21.5 turns and higher. Recommended for builders ages 14 and up.
