Tamiya 1973 Ford Bronco

WoodiE · May 1, 2009

The Ford Bronco is a famous American 4X4 off-road vehicle. This 1970's model was among the first series called "Early Bronco" which were produced during 1965-1977. Three types of bodies were released; the fully-open "Roadster," the single cabin pick-up....

That's odd.... try now.

That
is
cool!

Question. Why do they separate the shock and spring in that setup? Is that what the 1:1 trucks did? Just looks strange.

slowngreen · May 1, 2009

works now, pretty cool.....and candyman thats because the cr01s are silly lol, i assume they do that to get alot more flex out of it or something.

its cool they came out with that but i wish someone would do newer bodies like a newer bronco, 4 runner, pathfinder, something like that.

they had this at my LHS about a month ago....they seperated the shocks and springs to give it a more scale look of coil springs like older 1:1 fords had

slowngreen · May 1, 2009

lol the shocks being mounted like they are kill it though.

MGT8.0owner · May 1, 2009

ya they should be mounted inside the frame rails to make it look more scale

fastford04 · May 1, 2009

how much are they i want one...

slowngreen · May 1, 2009

for a body or the entire thing? I'm guessing the body is gonna be around 30ish....

You can bet the Bronco will be on par with the rest of Tamiya's kits, so figure around $600-$650 for the kit, which will include the motor. All you need to add are the radio (with RX and servo), ESC, and battery. At least that is my guess...

i did say they are silly lol...I'm sure the body will be available soon by its self though.

i dont have one of these and i do understand that its not made to go fast but when i see that the tamiya hilux has a three speed tranny it just makes me wonder can they handle motors that are bigger and faster than the stock 540 size, I'll do some rock crawling but more than likely it would be a trail runner

Looks like the body will be $42.00. Is it a hard body? It looks to be with that much detail.

Nope, unfortunitely it's lexan. But Tamiya's lexan lids are actually nicely detailed. I would have loved to see it as a hard body though.
