New Pro-Line Bronco Body

[SchrodeMode]

Well Pro-Line is making a new scaler body, this time it's the 80's Ford Bronco. I guess I'll be adding the SCX10 and this body to my wish list. My first vehicle was a 1984 Bronco and I still have it, I can't wait to get back to the states and start working on it again.

That's a bad ass body!

That is a sweet body. Also Axial just announced the SCX10 2, due out in june. It looks nice with a few new features.

It's just screaming to be painted white and taken on a "Low-speed" chase...

I'm not sure what it is but it looks kind of goofy to me. Almost like its wanting to be a full sized bronco but also wants to be a bronco 2. The front end looks more like one of the full sized vans to me too.

I was just thinking it's only a matter of time before someone paints it white and put it on a slow crawler...

I'm with Lloyd, proportions are all wrong IMO and it looks goofy.

That's kind of a running thing with Pro-Line isn't it? Either perfect or.... just not quite right.

I think it needs a rear tire carrier, a real Bronco looks weird without one so this has that scale feature going for it.

Some of the RC4WD rear bumpers have a spare tire carrier mounted to them. I have one of them on my SCX-10/JK project:

You guys got it all wrong, it's those black dohickies on the roof and hood, yeah that's it.

I don't know, I had a 90 Bronco, and it looks pretty close to me. I think it's the paint job that might be throwing it off a little. I still really like it.

The wheelbase looks a bit long to me, but, maybe it's just me.

Yeah, maybe a little bit now that you point that out. Probably had to stretch it a little to make it fix scx10 chassis'

I see what it is now, there is no gap between the fender and bumper, they just smushed it right up against it. The 1/1 had a gap between the fender and bumper like this;

There is only so much you can do with a one piece lexan body, any of the more correct bodies are several pieces, then you have extra lines, and possibly screws showing. For true realism nothing beats a hard body.

Looks like the greenhouse area isn't quite tall enough. Still a pretty good looking body.

The Windows are off and the way the 2 time is painted is giving a weird opticalthing that clashes with the wheel openings for the oversize tires. The grille work is Def a lil off too... But all that being said, for a lexan body, I think they did a damned good job. Have had both the full size and the bronco II. A tiny bit of work with some bumpers and a spare would really put it together nice... But then again, I'm not really into the acuracy that scale rc is about so much as I'm into finding a way to get it mounted on whichever kit it fits best and then beating on it like I beat on the 1:1's!!! (I like the body, I'll be looking for one)
