Tamiya CR01 1973 Bronco Body

bronco_cr01_body_2From what we’ve been reading on the various R/C forums out there it seems like this body is going to be a big hit with the scale rig builders.

It will only be available in clear, and will include decals, window masks, and molded chrome plated side mirrors and front grill. So what are you waiting for, get on the phone with your local hobby shop and pre-order one while you can!

Project Scorpion: Budget Build Of The Axial AX10 – Part 6

scorpionpartsix001I guess it was inevitable. From the second I saw my first 1.9 scale crawler I knew I would eventually build one of my own, the only question was when.  Although I was apprehensive at the thought of cutting up our AX10 project truck, possibly ruining a good thing, with all of the aftermarket upgrades available for the truck I knew it would make the perfect platform for this project. Meet the latest iteration of Project Scorpion, Project Blazer?

Tamiya 1973 Ford Bronco CR-01

Tamiya 1973 Ford Bronco Front Page PhotoThe Ford Bronco is a famous American 4X4 off-road vehicle. This 1970’s model was among the first series called “Early Bronco” which were produced during 1965-1977. Three types of bodies were released; the fully-open “Roadster,” the single cabin pick-up “Utility,” and the “Wagon” which had a resin roof. The body featured triangular protrusions on both sides on the curved front hood which worked well as a guide for drivers to accurately measure the body size while driving. The front suspension features coil springs combined with the rigid axle, which was a first for mass-produced 4X4 vehicles and works well both on-road and off-road. The Bronco is still greatly popular around the world, particularly in America, where many are used as cross-country and rock crawling vehicles.
