The Killer Body Toyota Land Cruiser LC70 Movable Hood Upgrade Set represents a specialised engineering approach to RC body customisation. Manufactured from quality ABS plastic for the hood components, this material offers an excellent balance of strength and weight, critical considerations in 1/10 scale modelling where excessive weight can affect performance.

The overall engineering philosophy reflects Killer Body's reputation for quality body kits and upgrade components, with attention to detail that makes the difference between an average upgrade and a professional-quality addition to your RC model. This upgrade is compatible with the KB 1/10 Toyota Land Cruiser 70 platform, allowing you to transform your existing body shell with minimal effort whilst maintaining the authentic scale appearance and proportions that make the Land Cruiser 70 such an iconic subject for RC modellers.
