Fans of the all-new Ford Bronco now have a cheaper option to grab a piece of the off-road action.
As part of its new line-up for 2022, model maker Tamiya has announced a 1/10-scale radio-controlled Bronco.
With the full-size production car already sold out until 2023, this could be the easiest way for many to experience ‘Bronco Fever’.
Ready for miniature adventures
Based upon the two-door, sixth-generation Bronco, the 1/10 version measures just under 48cm in length.
With a detailed replica bodyshell, Tamiya’s Bronco is an impressive rendition of the real thing. The retro-inspired design has been accurately captured in polycarbonate, helped by a number of extra details.
Making the Tamiya Bronco trail-ready are an expedition roof rack, branded spare wheel cover and twelve-spoke wheels with chunky off-road rubber.
Electric Bronco pioneer
Using Tamiya’s CC02 chassis, the R/C Bronco features all-wheel drive, just like the original. However, there is no miniature EcoBoost turbocharged engine to be found here.
Instead, this Bronco’s horsepower comes from an electric motor. Think of it as an early example of a Bronco EV, if you must.
Deliveries and pricing for the Tamiya Ford Bronco are yet to be confirmed, although it will certainly be much cheaper than the real deal.
For those who prefer their off-roaders with a British badge, Tamiya also offers a 1/10 scale R/C version of the classic Land Rover Defender.
