The Ford Bronco became known for simple, rugged off-road capability after its 1960s debut and production through 1977. Tamiya's 1/10 scale Ford Bronco 1973 reproduces the trucklike proportions and gives modellers an opportunity to build a faithful, scale-accurate version of this early SUV.
The CR-01 platform is engineered for low-speed torque and articulation needed on technical terrain. Its planetary gearbox with a 40.5:1 ratio supplies crawl-friendly gearing, full ball bearings reduce drivetrain drag, and the Type 540 motor provides reliable, straightforward power for trail use.
The polycarbonate shell captures the Bronco's signature lines, while metal-plated H parts such as the grille, side mirrors and light bezels are moulded in durable ABS resin for a convincing finish. Builders can fit LED lighting using Tamiya's TLU-01 system or similar LED kits to run after dark.
A wide selection of hop-up parts is available for those who want to tweak handling, clearance or looks. Be aware that the TEU-101BK ESC can overheat in slow, heavy crawling; the TEU-302BK is a preferable choice for this chassis and driving style.
Collectors and rock-crawling fans will find the Tamiya 58436 Ford Bronco 1973 a rewarding build, offering period styling and the CR-01 chassis as a solid base for scale upgrades and trail runs.
