New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

Just saw this floating around face space. Looks legit.

Traxxas going hidden body mounts too?

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

Looks better in1/10 scale! I was just wondering the other day if traxxas was going to do something new on the trx4 platform. Hope it's legit. It would make sense too.

I didn't want to buy a new Bronco but I got to have this new one its so beautiful and make it a four wheel steer...... bUZZZZZZZ........

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

Yay! I've been wondering when we'd see this. Any thoughts on how long until the clear body is available...

It is legit, confirmed by Traxxas themselves.
And they finally did a clipless body system for the TRX platform.

They did a good job. New Bronco is not in my cards or interest radar, but well done.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

Why didn't they do the two door version though? I kinda like the two door version in 1:1, 4 door not so much lol. I won't be picking this up, have 4 already and thinking 2 are gonna go get sold soon for a new build.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

Couldn't agree more. I think it's a really good looking body, especially for lexan, but a 2 door would looked better IMO.
Maybe they just didn't want to engineer an "SWB" TRX4 (which would have been way more interesting than a new clipless body of any design) and went 4 door to keep it a "pro-scale" body.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

I'm thinking you're probably right, I agree engineering a swb chassis for a 2 door Bronco may have swayed me. They did a good job just not my style as it is.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

This one is 12.8” wb. Maybe they didn’t think the 2 door would scale out well on a 12.3”. The Newbright version is considerably shorter.

The price for this one is a hefty $549 MSRP. We’ll probably see them sell at $529. Not entirely sure what’s contributing to that much of an increase, no interior or LEDs included but I suppose the body is a bit more detailed than predecessors and has the clipless mounting. At $529 this would be $70-80 more than the old bronco. Maybe this one cost more to license.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

I'm guessing they did the 4 door because the dimensions allowed them to use the 12.8 WB chassis they already have (Defender). If they went 2 door, they'd have to develop a new chassis much smaller then the 12.3 to make the proportions look right.

*Edit, looks like Topher had the same thought above.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

I guarantee Ford raped them on licenses and such

TRX-4 Bronco

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

At that price (vs. an "old" TRX) they could only persuade me to buy another TRX platform if they had developed a new SWB, IFS chassis.

I know, and I'm sure they know, IFS isn't everyone's cup of tea but I think that would have been much more persuasive on their "pro-scale" market. It would have been cool to see a new, more scale accurate, IFS RTR to compete with the Trail Runner.

I don't run my TRX with the expectation it'll be the ultimate rock performer. As long as they're using the "scale trail crawler" branding, they don't really any obligation to try and market it as the ultimate rock crawler either. Especially under their "Pro-Scale[emoji769]"

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

How so?

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

I really like this thing. May be a while, but I’m going to have to pick one up.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

Traxxas currently sells 6 other licensed Ford bodies, I’d doubt Ford is trying to put the screws to them now.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

Another gorgeous TRX body from Traxxas. I still think the 79 Bronco is nicer...

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

I Agree the 79 is the standard and the best looking... BUZZZZZ....


Anybody Know When In Mid May Traxxas Will Make This 550$ Bad Boy available 4 Purchase????????

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

I'm only speculating here, but there is a good chance the price increase may be due to the increase in raw materials cost world wide, and while this vehicle was (body) was in development before/during the pandemic, I'm sure finance has an eye on the bottom line on how to recoup the costs involved.

Considering costs, I really think that the TRX-4, as much as I don't like Traxxas as a company, is a good value. The SCX10 III Gladiator is $520, doesn't have the option to lock/unlock differentials, and you have to choose between dig or 2 speed.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

The 2021 Bronco in 2 door is pretty small, it would look disproportionate on the TRX4 IMO. I agree the 2-door is sortof the traditional, go to for the Bronco, but the way Ford designed it, it wouldn't lend itself to this platform well.

I have a four door on order, I wanted the two door, but it's just too small/short.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

I can definitely see that being the reason.

Body looks good! I'd take one in yellow, but still recovering from my Gladiator purchase.
Curious what all detail bits rc4wd will come up for this one.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

I think I'm just as excited about the aftermarket for this now that Traxxas jump on to the 2021 Bronco as I am about having one on order. Ford has literally hundreds of accessories ( not all exterior ) so there's a lot of potential out there I'm guessing.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

Dam it there goes more money

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

RPP has it up for pre order, ETA is listed as June.

https://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/t...6-4-orange.htm

https://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/tra92076-4-red.htm

Amain has it listed but no option to preorder it seems.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

Easy for me to skip this.

Wife wants a 1:1 My father in law ( her dad ) had a 77 and I had the 84 and 88 FS bronco's so it was easy to get the 79.

Other then the body I'm not seeing any cool or one off 21 Bronc options from traxxas to make me buy a 3rd trx
It is up for pre order on traxxas and other sites now.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco

A little late response, but I actually agree that the license has gone up.
Tom’s Bronco parts.. now officially known as Tom’s Off-road.. has been in business using the Bronco name for 45 years. Well with the new release of the Bronco, and the fact Ford owns the term “Bronco” Ford contacted them to inform they’ll no longer be allowed to to use that name for their company or website name. They sent out an email to inform their customers about the name change.

I picked up the yellow one last week. I want to do some upgrades before I run it. Looks great!

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

Very nice man, I’ve yet to run mine. It’s getting a hobbywing 1080, Holmes crawlmaster 550 12t, a Savox 1210sg and I’m installing my dx5c and 6 channel receiver. Other than that, I just plan on driving it

Got the stock electronics ripped out, new motor will be here tomorrow. Savox 1210sg hobbywing 1080 and set it all up in my dx5c.
Swapped the stock tires for some trxus I had laying around. Like the size for sure. Can’t wait to test it, but 111+ weather kept me from it this weekend https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9e08db4ed9.jpg

Got to take this thing out for its maiden voyage today. Holmes crawlmaster sport 12t 550 installed. This things a blast to drive. Made some lines look easy that I thought it wouldn’t stand a chance on. Definitely a fun rig and you can tell where the 12.8” wb helps and hurts. All in all I don’t plan on changing much else on this thing https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...de8ff8470e.jpg

I picked one of these up today in the Cyber Orange. I already have some mods like a HW1080, HH motor, portal weights, etc. that I bought for my 1979 TRX Bronco that I never ended up using.

I have a 1:1 2 door ordered as well.

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

What trim level you going with? And what kind of eta are you expecting?

Re: New Traxxas 2021 Ford Bronco
 

I ordered a 2 door Badlands with high package in cactus gray, I am thinking about going to Lux and a different color. I’m doing the 2.3L engine with the manual transmission no matter what. Changing to a base model is also appealing and would save me $17K. I have a 7/14/2020 reservation, but I doubt I’ll see a truck until 2022 no matter what I change my order to. If they offer a basesquatch manual in 2022 I may change to that.
