FMS Toyota FJ45 Pickup 1/12 RTR — The Classic 1960s Japanese Pickup as an RC Rock Crawler
The FMS Toyota FJ45 Pickup 1/12 RTR is a 1/12-scale replica of the iconic Toyota pickup launched in 1963 — a longer-wheelbase, load-bed derivative of the FJ40. Produced under an official Toyota licence, FMS’s attention to detail rivals the finest static models: opening bonnet, functional side doors and tailgate, folding windscreen and removable roof. Beyond being a collector’s item, it is a fully functional crawler ready to run from the first charge. Battery included.
