The Ford Bronco's rugged heritage from its first years through 1977 is echoed in this precise 1/10 scale model. Tamiya's interpretation of the 1973 Bronco gives hobbyists a compact, buildable representation of the classic off-roader.
The CR-01 chassis prioritises traction and axle articulation for rough terrain. With a planetary gearbox at 40.5:1 gear ratio the model offers strong crawling gearing, full ball bearings smooth the drivetrain, and a Type 540 motor supplies proven performance.
The clear polycarbonate body reproduces the Bronco profile, while metal-plated H parts including grille, mirrors and lamp surrounds are moulded in resilient ABS resin for durable scale detail. Builders can install LED kits or Tamiya's TLU-01 unit to add functional lights.
There are many hop-up parts available to change stance, grip and strength. Avoid the TEU-101BK ESC for this application because it can overheat during crawling; the TEU-302BK is a safer option for sustained low-speed use.
For builders who like accurate scale looks and trail performance, the Tamiya 58436 Ford Bronco 1973 provides a robust CR-01 platform that responds well to common upgrades and visual detailing.
