Originally introduced in 1966 as a 4X4 compact SUV, the Ford® Bronco matured as a full-size truck in the late 1970s, cementing its status as a rugged off-roader. Traxxas honors the classic 1979 Ford Bronco with this beautifully detailed and faithful reproduction mounted on the incredibly capable TRX-4® chassis. From the chrome wheels and bumpers to the gorgeous Sunset or red graphics, the TRX-4 recaptures the Bronco’s iconic era with the toughness and technology that could only come from Traxxas.
New to TRX-4 79′ Ford Bronco, clipless body mounting combines clean flowing lines with secure latching convenience. TRX-4 Ford Bronco’s hidden latches hold tight on the trail no matter how intense the action gets, but release in just seconds to access the chassis.
Radically innovative technology combines with precision engineering to create a completely new breed of scale crawler…Only from Traxxas.
Portal axles lift the truck at the wheels for huge center pumpkin ground clearance. In order to achieve the same clearance with straight axles, your tires would have to be over an inch taller than the tires on TRX-4 Bronco.
Portal axles use gear reduction at the wheels to virtually eliminate torque twist. The Titan 550 motor’s torque translates into straight, powerful, forward motion, rather than wasted energy twisting your rig right off the rocks.
TRX-4 Bronco instantly obsoletes the status quo with greatly expanded features, versatility, and capability. Performance and technology combine in a revolutionary chassis that looks as good as it performs.
A heavy-duty formed-steel ladder frame with molded cross members creates an extremely rigid backbone. You’ll feel the difference on trails when navigating technical terrain.
TRX-4 Bronco sets the new standard for scale RC crawlers. Authentic chrome wheels, trim panels, and bumpers with replica side mirrors, wipers, and front grille give the Bronco that classic 70s look. The beautiful Sunset and red painted bodies make the Bronco recognizable anywhere.
Traxxas allows you to lock and unlock both the front and rear differentials remotely from your transmitter. New sleeved micro cables control the differential action for scale appearance, without limiting suspension articulation.
Oil-filled coil-over GTS shocks deliver silky-smooth damping performance and feature threaded aluminum shock bodies for easy ride height adjustments. The convincing scale realism looks great and they perform even better.
When the going gets tough, shift into low range for incredible 4WD pulling torque. Shift into high range for blasting down the trail. TRX-4 Bronco adapts to any situation or driving style.
The XL-5™ HV electronic speed control brings 3s LiPo capability for stronge efficient running. The powerful 21T Titan® motor provides torque to tackle the steepest climbs and all-out speed on flat terrain. This efficient system provides up to 2 hours of run time with a Traxxas 3s 5000 mAh LiPo battery pack!
The Traxxas TQi features our exclusive cruise control for long-distance treks. Set your speed using the transmitter and then use the multi-function knob to fine-tune it faster or slower to match precisely the pace of your caravan of trail explorers.
TRX-4 is fully waterproof, not “splash resistant.” There is a big difference. Traxxas’ patented innovation gives you the freedom to tackle creeks, snow, and mud without worrying about water in your electronics.

A thick 1.5 mm steel ladder frame with molded cross members provides exceptional torsional rigidity to resist even the worst chassis twisting articulation. This extremely rigid backbone lets the suspension do the work it was designed to do. You’ll feel the difference on trails where the elimination of chassis flex allows for precise wheel placement when navigating technical terrain.
The innovative shock towers allow four separate “bolt-on” wheelbase positions: 300, 312, 324, and 336 mm to accommodate custom body fitment. Further fine tuning is possible with the axle links and adjustable shock position.
The finer details matter so we incorporated wire retainers into the frame rails, which provide a clean look and keep the wiring more secure from off-road hazards.
TRX-4’s main battery tray accommodates a full-length 5000 mAh 3-cell LiPo or 7600 mAh 2-cell LiPo for extended run times or smaller 1/16 scale Traxxas batteries for reduced weight. A hinged battery strap provides quick and secure battery mounting without pins to lose. The innovative strap flips over to adjust for different height batteries. A secondary front-mounted battery tray accepts smaller 1/16 scale Traxxas batteries to position weight directly over the front axle for maximum climbing traction.
Tough floor pans integrate with the wheel wells to enhance the scale appearance and keep debris out of the chassis.
Oil-filled coil-over GTS shocks were created exclusively for the TRX-4 chassis to smooth out even the roughest trails. These silver-anodized aluminum shocks deliver silky-smooth damping and feature threaded bodies for easy ride height adjustment. The convincing scale realism looks great and they perform even better with an O-ring cap seal and dual X-ring shaft seals.
Thick 5 mm diameter steel links feature tough, fully-captured heavy-duty rod ends with steel hollow balls for exceptional strength and durability. This is one rig that won’t strand you on the trail with a broken suspension link.
TRX-4 uses tough hex hardware throughout for improved strength and easy servicing.
Portal axles lift the differential pumpkin to provide incredible ground clearance. This radical design also improves axle geometry and reduces strain on the driveshafts. Steel gears ensure trouble-free performance, no matter how technical the climb.
On conventional rigs with the limited gear reduction in the differentials, motor torque is applied to the frame to the point of twisting you right off the rocks. TRX-4’s radical portal axle design reduces the gear ratio at the wheels, virtually eliminating torque twist through the chassis. Total axle gear reduction is over twice non-portal designs so Titan motor torque delivers smooth forward motion, not frame twist.
TRX-4 gives you the freedom and versatility to lock and unlock both the front and rear differentials to suit your driving needs, all controlled remotely from your transmitter. Leave the differentials unlocked for relaxed driving on the trail with smooth, tight turning and better handling at high speeds. When the trail gets technical, lock the front and rear differentials, or just the front differential, for superior pull and grip over extreme terrain.
Why carry your crawler down the trail when you can drive? TRX-4 features a high speed gear to get you to your next crawling challenge quickly. When you get there, flip the rocker switch on your transmitter to engage low range and conquer tough terrain with exceptional torque.
Hardened steel U-joints on the front and rear driveshafts provide smooth, reliable power delivery for non-stop fun.
A twin friction plate slipper clutch provides some additional protection from motor stalls in extreme crawling conditions.
Black sealed ball bearings resist mud and dirt to keep your rig rolling smoothly.
TRX-4’s radical portal axle design raises the driveshafts higher to improve axle geometry and reduce driveshaft angles. Higher driveshafts and suspension links pass over obstacles to avoid high-centering your truck and reduce overall grinding wear.
The steering link and drag link attach high on the portal axles, raising them away from possible damage. This allows TRX-4 to attack obstacles head on, reducing the risk of hitting the steering linkage on rocks.
With the front differential unlocked, the superior 45° steering angle negotiates around even the tightest bends with ease. This helps avoid awkward reversing maneuvers in tight spaces.
With a 63.82° out-of-box approach angle in the front, TRX-4 is ready to climb walls. An equally impressive 43.22° rear approach angle provides extreme capability, even in the deepest ruts.
Portal axles help raise the center ground clearance to an unparalleled 3.14″ (80 mm), while raised suspension links and driveshafts clear the rocks underneath. Superior capability equals more fun no matter where your adventure takes you.
TRX-4’s large 550 size brushed 21-turn Titan motor provides smooth reliable power and loads of torque to climb the toughest obstacles. The front mounted orientation moves the weight bias forward to get you up and over obstacles with improved traction.
HV stands for compatibility with the high-voltage 3s LiPo battery packs for greater efficiency and power. In addition to the three standard profiles (Sport, Race, Training Mode™), the XL-5™ HV features a Trail profile that serves up a little bit of drag brake for smooth intuitive driving for most of your adventures. A new Crawl profile introduces hill hold and instant reverse for extremely technical courses. Either will help you navigate the trail with ease.
Torque rules the trail and TRX-4’s massive Titan 21T motor pumps out huge torque to get you up and over anything that gets in the way. An integrated cooling fan keeps temperatures down for extended run times.
A full-metal gear digital servo gives you the durability and steering authority you need to confidently and reliably power through tough challenges.
The Traxxas TQi radio system features exclusive cruise control for long-distance treks. Set your speed using the transmitter and then use the multi-function knob to fine-tune it faster or slower to match your pace. The grip-mounted rocker switch selects high or low range gears to suit the terrain while a separate toggle switch engages or disengages the locking differentials, all on the fly. Best of all, the TQi is compatible with the 6511 Wireless Module so you can set up everything right from your smartphone.
TRX-4 uses three fully-waterproof micro servos to actuate the front and rear differentials as well as the high/low range selection on the transmission. Sleeved micro cables eliminate complicated linkages that would otherwise limit suspension articulation.
The Bronco’s LED light kit takes scale realism to the next level with working headlights, tail lights, and side markers. Fully waterproof and built Traxxas-Tough, the LED light kit is ready for your wildest adventures. No matter where the trail leads, day or night, TRX-4 Bronco will forge a path.
The 1979 Ford Bronco replica from Traxxas takes you off-road with a whole new level of scale realism. The classic body is fully detailed with clear windows and injection molded nylon composite details throughout to truly capture the depth and detail of Ford’s original design. Available in Sunset and red, these officially licensed classic Bronco bodies are recognizable anywhere.
TRX-4 Bronco’s highly-detailed chrome wheels replicate the originals down to the manual locking hub details. The 1.9″ wheels come pre-glued and mounted to aggressive, S1-compound Canyon Trail tires. Deep tread blocks flex for maximum traction on the rocks. The trail-tuned foam inserts provide realistic sidewall flex for authentic climbing action. A standard 12mm steel hex makes the TRX-4 chassis compatible with popular 1.9″ wheel and tire combinations.
Tough inner fenders mount directly to the frame and shock towers to provide substantial look and feel to TRX-4. The authentic realism adds to the fun while also helping to keep rocks, mud, and twigs out of the chassis.
Functional rock sliders help prevent damage and provide extra support for the body. The additional bracing adjusts for different widths.
TRX-4 Bronco gets the full Traxxas treatment with unsurpassed realism including a stunning chrome grille, body side trim, and bumpers. These classic details are authentic down to the smallest details with their light buckets and reflectors.
Classic style meets modern technology underneath the Bronco with realistic mirror chrome differential covers. These polished details take the scale look of the front and rear portal axles to the next level.
TRX-4 Bronco features beautiful precision molded details for a whole new level of scale realism. The authentic chrome wheels, trim panels, replica side mirrors, and even windshield wipers provide the perfect scale touches.
TRX-4 Bronco can be customized even further with the optional rear spare tire carrier (part 8074) and chrome push bar (part 8066). Accessories sold separately.
