Doom's TRX-4M Bronco

[Doom!]

I guess I should start a build thread for the TRX-4M Bronco since I've decided to start modding it. I had put wheel weights on it but pulled them out to add 7mm axle extenders so I could use the Canyon Trail tires that the Land Rover uses. They have a lot better traction the the BF Goodrich that came on the Bronco.
You can barely see the extenders because I forgot to take a photo before I put the wheels on and I'm too lazy to take them back off.

I also bought the black chrome Traxxas Bronco wheels, hard to tell thay are black chrome in the photos to replace the stock black wheels, but they look great in person with the Canyon Trail tires.

Also added the Traxxas light kit, they really did a nice job on the light kits for these. The Land Rover was easier but the Bronco wasn't to hard to install.

Added Injora high clearance links. Also went in pretty easy.

Still need to drop in the Furitek motor/esc combo. But that has to wait until I get more time.

Are those the taillights that have functional brake and reverse lights?

 

[Doom!]

Yes, they work great and the backup lights throw out a decent amount of light.

So

That’s pretty cool Doom.
My wife would just about sell a kidney for a full size version of the new Bronco. I really like them too.

 

[Doom!]

Yeah by the time I got a 1 to 1 fully loaded Bronco I could buy a house. I do love them though, gonna have to live with my rc versions.

Pretty cool rig

I hear there are a lot of recalls on them.

That rig is looking sweet @Doom!

Their timing was bad, between Covid, supply and labor shortages and mismanagement, lots of problems as they were rushed to market. My rc's don't have that problem though

They look too small for me. I guess I am use to the 80's version.

That's a good looking rig @Doom! I almost want to get one

The Bronco sport is small, built on the same chassis as the Escape and new Maverick pickup. The Full size Bronco is larger and better equipped. A lot of folks confuse the two. When compared side by side the vintage Bronco is very close in size to the new Full size Bronco.

 

[Jamr]

I see them on the road and I can't help but think "Dam those things are tiny!"

 

[Xraycer]

I believe the smaller Sports are 4 doors, and the larger standard size are 2 doors.

I recall hearing Ford's recall costs, running into the billion dollar mark

Very jealous of your little rig collection @Doom! Can we get a group photo?

 

[Mtbmatty]

What hub extensions did you put on @Doom!

 

[Doom!]

What hub extensions did you put on @Doom!

I used these.

I was thinking about that the other day. I really need to get a group shot.
