58469 Tamiya – RC Ford Bronco 1973 – CC01

Let&39;s Go Off-Road

This is a 1/10 scale R/C assembly kit of the Ford Bronco which is called &8220;Early
Bronco&8221; and is greatly popular as a cross-country vehicle in the U.S.
The subject of this R/C car is the 1973 wagon model which has a white rear cover.
The distinctive body style, including raised front hood sides, has been realistically
reproduced with polycarbonate. Separately molded metal-plated parts, which depict
front grille, light covers, and side mirrors, add great scale realism. The Ford
Bronco comes on the shaft-driven 4WD CC-01 chassis which offers fun off-road
driving performance.

All Terrain Chassis

Excellent ground-hugging, long-stroke suspension system consists of front double
wishbone and rear 4-link rigid setups and is equipped with 4 oil dampers. Highly
reliable and efficient full-time 4WD system features a front-mounted motor,
which transmits power to the front wheels via the gearbox and to the rear wheels
via the propeller shaft with universal joints. Front and rear differentials
enable smooth cornering. For even greater off-road performance on rough terrain,
the rear differential may be locked during assembly. Realistic block-pattern
tires are mounted on metal-plated wheels.

About the Ford Bronco

American 4WD vehicles produced prior to 1966 were viewed as large, crude machines,
but the Ford Bronco which was released that year broke the mold with its compact
design and created a dynasty. It was offered in three body types: the open-top
roadster, the &8220;sport utility&8221; half cab, and the wagon. The chassis
featured a drivetrain from the Ford F100 pick-up that matched the new frame
and suspension. In particular, the front suspension was equipped with coil springs
to provide both a comfortable ride and superb off-road capability. The first
generation &8220;Early Broncos&8221; were produced until 1977 and remain extremely
popular as cross-country and rock-climbing vehicles even today.
