Traxxas’ reimagining of the popular ’79 model shrinks down to tiny scale, piloted by high-tech RC technology. With its distinct Sunset paint and rugged looks, the body style of the Traxxas TRX-4 Bronco reflects that of the larger, more luxurious second-gen Broncos, which were some of the most popular models during its original run. Subscribe to our weekly newsletter Super innovative technology combines with precise engineering to create a completely new breed of scale crawler with this TRX-4 chassis. A rigid steel frame that includes crossbars gives the Traxxas TRX-4 Bronco strength that mirrors the real thing. Complementing the ultra-rugged design is the Bronco’s fully waterproof exterior; not just splash resistant, this mini crawler is prepared for any terrain, no matter the weather. Tiny portal axles give the Traxxas Bronco enough additional lift to keep it on to-scale tires. Plus, they’re designed to eliminate torque twist, ensuring that all the electric power is spent driving the Bronco forward. Officially licensed by Ford, this Bronco is the definition of small but mighty. It’s available with a bevy of accessories that don’t just look like the ones you’d put on your full-size Bronco – they perform like it, too. Down to the details, including manual locking hub details on wheels, molded inner fenders, and fully functional rock sliders, the ingenuity and care put into developing this miniature Bronco are clear.
