Tamiya 58436 Ford Bronco 1973 Scale RC Kit CR-01  [58436]

Scaled 1973 Bronco for Scale and Trail Enthusiasts

The Bronco earned its place as a capable, straightforward off-roader from its 1960s origins through 1977. Tamiya's 1/10 Ford Bronco 1973 brings those simple, functional lines into a buildable scale kit that appeals to both collectors and trail drivers.

CR-01 Layout and Low-Speed Performance

The CR-01 chassis emphasises crawling performance with a planetary gearbox set to a 40.5:1 ratio that delivers slow-speed torque. Full ball bearings keep the drivetrain efficient, and the Type 540 motor gives dependable, easy-to-manage power for technical sections.

Authentic Trim and Lighting Options

The transparent polycarbonate body reproduces the Bronco silhouette, and metal-plated H parts like the grille, mirrors and light surrounds are moulded in ABS for durability and scale appearance. The TLU-01 lighting system or aftermarket LED sets can be added for realistic night running.

Modification Paths and ESC Notes

Numerous hop-up parts are available to adapt handling and appearance to personal preference. Avoid using the TEU-101BK ESC for heavy low-speed crawling as it can overheat; the TEU-302BK is recommended where sustained torque is required.

The Tamiya 58436 Ford Bronco 1973 is a solid choice for modellers seeking an authentic classic with the crawl-capable CR-01 platform and plenty of scope for scale upgrades.
