Scaled Adventure: Tamiya 58705 Ford Bronco 2021 Replica
The Bronco name has been linked to outdoor exploration for decades, and the 2021 generation brought that attitude back into the spotlight. Tamiya translates that character into a 1/10 R/C kit that captures the Bronco's proportions and rugged stance for scale trail use.
CC-02 Frame and Powertrain Explained
The Tamiya 58705 Ford Bronco 2021 is mounted on the CC-02 ladder-style frame, designed for stability across uneven ground. A longitudinal motor arrangement works with a separate gearbox and transfer case, sending drive through propeller shafts to front and rear diffs to provide dependable 4WD performance.
Its four-link rigid suspension with CVA oil dampers gives controlled articulation for rock and root sections, while the supplied 12-spoke black wheels and semi-pneumatic rubber tyres are aimed at realistic traction and appearance.
First Edition Trim and Paint Options
This kit represents the First Edition Bronco, combining specific interior and exterior cues into a scale reproduction. The polycarbonate body includes PC-ABS H parts for detailed grilles and mirrors, plus metal-plated K parts for the light surrounds. An ABS roof rack adds practicality for scale accessories.
Required extras include a 2-channel radio, steering servo, a 7.2-volt battery and an appropriate charger, together with Tamiya PS polycarbonate paints for finishing touches.
