Known for its distinct wagon body style and classic appeal, this model captures the essence of the original with a detailed polycarbonate body featuring a white rear cover. Mounted on the robust CC-01 chassis, it promises an exhilarating off-road experience for RC hobbyists.
Chassis Excellence: The CC-01 Foundation
The heart of this model lies in its shaft-driven 4WD CC-01 chassis, renowned for its durability and performance.

Performance and Realism Combined
Equipped with a highly efficient full-time 4WD system, the Bronco's front-mounted motor delivers power seamlessly to the front wheels via the gearbox and to the rear wheels through a propeller shaft with universal joints. Front and rear 3-bevel differentials ensure smooth cornering, enhancing the driving experience. For added realism, the model includes LED-equipped F/R light cases, mimicking authentic head and tail lights.

This model comes with a Tamiya 104-BK ESC and a Finespec FM transmitter, offering a complete package for immediate enjoyment. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or new to the hobby, this RTR setup allows you to hit the trails right out of the box.
