The Tamiya 58469 RC Ford Bronco 1973 CC-01 Kit presents the Early Bronco profile in sturdy polycarbonate, complete with the notable white rear cover. Fine-scale detailing includes raised hood contours and separately plated metal parts for the grille, light covers and side mirrors to give a convincing miniature of the original.
The CC-01 chassis offers dependable off-road capability through a shaft-driven full-time 4WD system and a front-mounted motor. Power routes via the gearbox to the front and along propeller shafts with universal joints to the rear axle. The long-stroke suspension employs a front double wishbone and a rear 4-link rigid setup with four oil dampers to maintain traction on rough ground. Builders can lock the rear differential during assembly to gain better traction for demanding terrain.
Debuting in 1966, the Ford Bronco brought a compact, versatile 4WD option in roadster, half cab and wagon forms, and early models earned a reputation for rugged cross-country and rock-climbing capability. This Tamiya interpretation captures that pioneering spirit in 1/10 scale for both collectors and active RC drivers.
The Tamiya 58469 RC Ford Bronco 1973 CC-01 Kit appeals to those who appreciate period accuracy and a practical off-road chassis. It works well as a display piece or as a capable scale crawler when fitted with suitable electronics and tyres.
