The early Ford Bronco made its mark with uncomplicated, tough engineering from the 1960s through 1977. Tamiya's 1/10 Ford Bronco 1973 reproduces that straightforward character in miniature so enthusiasts can assemble a period-correct SUV with authentic proportions.
The CR-01 chassis is tailored to low-speed control and axle articulation for technical terrain. A planetary gearbox with a 40.5:1 ratio gives the torque-suitable gearing for rock work, full ball bearings keep moving parts efficient, and the Type 540 motor provides steady, dependable power.
The clear polycarbonate body faithfully renders the Bronco silhouette, and metal-plated H parts such as the front grille, mirrors and lamp surrounds are produced in hardy ABS resin to enhance realism. You can fit LED lighting using Tamiya's TLU-01 wiring pack or compatible sets for night runs.
There is an extensive list of hop-up parts available to lift performance or change the look. Note that the TEU-101BK ESC can overheat during low-speed crawling and is not advised; choose the TEU-302BK or an equivalent unit designed for sustained low RPM loads.
The Tamiya 58436 Ford Bronco 1973 suits builders who value accurate scale appearance and a crawl-capable CR-01 chassis, offering a flexible platform for both display and trail use.
