This looks pretty cool.

Traxxas Bronco High Trail Edition Custom Build:

So not only is it a 1:10 scale replica of a Bronco, but you can spend money on it in 1:10 scale as well!

As someone who has been RC'ing for 35+years, back when you had to build every damn part, and have spent an untold fortune over the years both Traxxas models are incoming, the 4 and 4M. Too bad they don't come in A51 though. Guess I'll be painting them myself.

Finally got my Bronco die cast. I think both it and the Defender one are spot on. Except our Defender has a roof rack, 4 doors and a few other things. I've changed my rims on the Bronco too since the pic, mine also has roof rack.

Traxxas is offering an Area 51 body option for the TRX-4M. (4 Door of course). I have (2) TRX-4 2021 Broncos and (2) TRX-4M Broncos. Working on a 3rd 4M. I also have the Tamiya 1/10 2 door that I custom mixed to make Area 51. So you could build your RC from scratch if you get yourself the Tamiya CC-02 Bronco 2 door. It was a great build.

I have been in RC since '89. It is still my current no. 1 hobby.

If you don't want the Tamiya, Pro-Line offers 2-door and 4-door bodies. You would have to shorten the TRX-4 considerably to get the 2-door body to fit correctly. That body is better suited for an Axial or custom chassis for the shorter wheelbase. The Tamiya detail is pretty damn good when done right. Traxxas is excellent as well and their Pro Scale Light kits for both TRX4 and -4M are awesome options.

These have likely already been posted but I've added these 2. Now I have 4 blue 2 doors counting my Hot Wheels and real one. For perspective, the little one is about 2-3x bigger than a Hot Wheels.

Anybody get the new 1/18 traxxas? Picked mine up today. Been messing around with it in garage. Obviously not as fast as the big one but still fun.

Love that it comes with LED fog lamps. My 1/10 scale did not. My only appearance complaints after opening is the windows aren’t tinted and it doesn’t have a full size spare.

I have 2 so far to match my TRX4s. The blue one has a lot of the upgrades on it already

I’d love to see a purchasable version of the LEGO Bronco set one of the Ford engineers came up with.

My boys got me a Lego kit with the Bronco R & Ford GT for my birthday. I haven't put it together yet but it looks fun.

I just completed that kit myself the other week. A fun and surprisingly detailed little build.

I know JakeC’s comment was quite a while ago, but in case anyone missed it…

I ended up reaching out to Peter a few months ago and using his designs to order my parts / build my Lego Bronco. It’s definitely a bit of a DIY sitch, but doable.

I've been a Traxxas fanboy for a long time now. But I like Tamiya also. Like a lot of people, one of my first was the Frog in the mid 80's. I'll check that one out too, looks pretty good. Thanks!

My first was a Blackfoot and I still have it, still runs and has all the option parts I could afford back then including Thorp diff & drive bones. I converted it to brushless (2S) 10 years ago. It's hilarious.

I have the Traxxas TRX-4M Area 51. It looks dark in the package, haven't opened it yet. I made my Area 51 color off that Maisto Diecast 2 door. Mine came out a bit dark but it looks close in the sun.

If it's a hobby grade RC Bronco, I have it lol.

This was before 4M #2, and an Easy RC knockoff "Bronx"
