Hellooooooooo, I am a DIE_HARD tamiya FAN ! But I also am a traxxas fan. I have just about all of Tamiya off road kits.I've been collecting Tamiya from 1986 to present date but I also have a few traxxas RTR's . I was a manager for Hobbytown USA starting in 1990 and on the ground floor to start selling traxxas and the first truck they offord was a sledge hammer with what looked like 1990 blackfoot tires that were spiked . I still always lean toward Tamiya because YOU can build them. I think NO one should be angry because "broke ranks" and bought a traxxas. I have the Ford Bronco Sunset like you and CAN"T wait to see your other parts for the Bronco.Please keep up the good work you'r doing!!!
Thanks Keith! I agree, I have all kinds of cars and am not stuck on one brand. This interior is coming awesome and I cannot wait until I get the prototype!
This will be my first RTR and my first Traxxas, as strict as I am about scale accuracy and interiors for my scalers, I'm VERY anxiously awaiting this interior. Looks fantastic. Looking like this will blow the CCHand yota interior away. Will be attempting the clear / smoked rear window mod and this will be the icing on the cake. Thanks in advance!
And, of course the long arm lift kit is out. I installed the long arm loft, and a set of 2.2 proline super swamper tsl/sx xl tires on proline faulting 2.2 rims. Looks awesome, and works fantastic, just needs a stronger steering servo
I just got one of these. I have a lot of your tamiya designs and looking forward to your interior design for this. As soon as I got mine, I thought to myself, AmPro has to make a sick interior for this. Can't wait.
I liked your reaction discovering the main features of this TRX4. Being an eng. too I laugh a lot! Yes, remotely controlled locking diff is amazing. I saw once a RUclips of a Tamiya Jeep that was driving so smoothly and I discovered it had open differentiels! I told myself wow nice but what to do you do when you need them locked? The answer was you can put a pin inside the diff... nothing remote here... And then one day TADA!! The TRX4 arrives, with this feature! Incredible! Enjoy your Bonco and I expect to see soon your nice interior!
I know! I was thinking about how to do that on my Tamiya High Lift but with that design it wasnt possible. This remote locking diff is was sealed the deal for me!
Fantastic unboxing vid brother, I have watched loads of RUclips videos on this truck and I've got to say everyone of them videos has blown me away with look at this truck absolutely amazing, fantastic video yet again great with you review on this truck my friend 🇬🇧😊😁😊🇬🇧
When it comes to scale trail trucks Traxxas is in the game ! Also when they say ready to run they mean it ! Just add batteries. Lol I have the Defender they are beautiful as well.
AMPRO Engineering yeah, the light kit traxxas put out for the bronco body doesn't have rock lights or the controller. I ordered all three from my local hobby shop, along with the pushbar from traxxas so I have a place to mount a pair of old school style Off road lights.
Beautiful. Why would Tamiya people be angry? Brand loyalty is foolish. We should get the toys that turn us on no matter what package it comes in :-) Well, I can understand people being angry at Tamiya for not putting out something like this as a CC-02 or CR-02. Tamiya is a mystery. But I agree this Traxxas is really a piece of art. And the body looks Tamiya'ish :-) Just love Traxxas for starting to putting out vehicles with proper designed bodies, like the classic Bigfoot and this. I have had a couole of Traxxas'. Currently I have the Mini E-revo. Just splendid for speed and bashing. Can take a beating that would send every Tamiya I own to the graveyard straight away. But I do not run it that much, primarily because of that e-revo body. Not exactly my favorite style. But congrats with this luxus-trail/crawler-truck! And your first Traxxas. Remember buying my first a couple of years ago. Couldn't find the power switch too. Luckily it was a second hand and the seller stepped in and pressed that switch on the ESC, which I thought was a bind-switch :-) I actually like it. Less cables.
Nordic RC Visions I LOVE Tamiya for their heritage and their innovations back in the day (I’m looking at YOU Blackfoot). But lately, they haven’t really gotten with the times. They are still making trucks at 80-90s standards. The High Lift, while very awesome, is awful in terms of off-road performance (AMPRO has fixed some of the issues). Mainly it’s ground clearance issues, axles, unnecessarily heavy chassis, awful steering, and over-the-top price tag for it. The CC01, also being awesome in its own right, is still built like it’s from the 90s. They need to start building like Traxxas and improving the standards placed by them. They need to become the “Top Dog” in RC’s again.
I totally agree. I have a few Fords and I always get people asking if I hate Chevrolet. I think that is an off thing to ask as I love cars of all kinds and do not care who made them as long as the style suits me. Yes, tamiya is mysterious and totally blind.
yeah they do! On top of that, the electronic toys in the radio of the Traxxas with all the telemetry is freaking amazing! It is what kids today need to get into the hobby. The Japanese should be the first ones to take advantage of this computer integration. Plus, the CC01 is STILL being made? The High-lift is their only offering in this market? Seriously? Come on Tamiya. I mean they don't even have a short course truck! Next video idea...complaining about Tamiya.
AMPRO Engineering Ha ha, yeah, it’s a love-hate feeling when dealing with Tamiya ... but because we get upset about what they’re not doing is because we love so many things they are doing and always have done. I think the telemetri-side is Japaneese too. Take Sanwa. They have been one of the most innovative and leading forces behind telemetri in the RC Industry for a long time (if they still are I don’t know). But the difference is that they have focused on the expensive high-end radio systems that basically is more for racers than the every-day basher or/and hobbyist ... or/and kid.
AMPRO Engineering Ohh and I think it is great that the CC-01 is still made ... some love it just as much as others love the hoppers/hornets. Love working on it ... replacing parts with better parts, solving problems, running it for what it is, and making great bodies for it. Sound familiar? ;-) The problem is not that the CC-01 is still being made, the problem is that a CC-02 or CC-03 is not being made. Just like we have the option of buying a Grasshopper or buying a DT-03. Whatever turns us on.
I love this truck! Don’t own one personally, a little on the expensive side. But I truly do find this truck amazing. I have driven one, they are amazingly capable. Gonna have to let people know about the interior!
I'm just checking back about the interior I'm still watching for when it's ready, that is going to set the bronco off, I will be getting one or two. I will be watching for more
Being a Classic Ford enthusiast like me, I expect a TRUE, Beautiful representation of the Bronco Dash!! 😱 Judging by the way that Traxxas Fan-Boys are snapping these up, an interior kit, of the quality that you're used to, will sell FASTER than Shapeways can make them! I wish you luck in your massive Success Alberto!! Carmine 🚂
Tamiya CAN do it.... They have the bright mind's. They just WON'T!!! Sad really, because they invented Scalers in the very late 70's! They started out being *innovators!!!* Sad. I really don't want TRAXX-ASS having the "Crown".....
Check out some of my latest videos it has 3-D printed parts and designs I’ve created for the Trx4s. I have more to come I just have an air dam time is limited right now
Sounds like your impressed! The Tamiya fleet was laughing about the power switch!!! Entertaining video. Please don't forget about the tamiyas after your first drive???
90046 doesn't have a differential as a result when the truck turns right or left, it wobbles a lot, I know some people say "the crawler needs no differential", but I prefer a truck with a differential lock that you can choose to open or lock(such as TRX4)
I'm in love with that body too! But the price tag is way more than I can afford right now. One thing I highly dislike is the setup for the difflocks. It should lock the rear first, then the front, as you do in the 1:1 world. Not as set up by Traxxas. Be prepared to adjust the diff lock cables as they do stretch and if not adjusted in time, those small servos will be broken in matter of short time. You can read the subject and fix, on the rccrawler.com forum. To make life easy, I would have bought spools to get rid of the diff lock problems for good :-) Traxxas electronics are not good, esc is the best item. Servos tend to go after a while, so do the transmitters. I have 5 collecting dust here, all broken. Other than that, Traxxas is allmost bullet proof and parts can be bought in allmost every hobby shop there is. Really looking forward to the scale interior :-) Cheers Richard
yeah I heard about the diff lock issues but as someone that locks and unlocks diffs a lot during a run, I am happy with this. I too am confused at the front then rear setup but I do not know much about real 4WD for that mater.
I have the TRX4 Sport (assembly kit version no electronics) which is the stripped version. I wanted to like the CC02 but it leaves a lot to be desired. GMade is kinda Tamiya’s Korean competition and they are doing some nice crawlers too. Tamiya needs something new
They should have been done by now but the size and my ways of reducing material for the printing process is causing shapeways headaches. The prototype will be in in about a week and then a month after that is when I can validate the production unit and make this available!
I’ve been searching for “Tamiya crawler” for awhile now and haven’t seen anything new to compete with modern vehicles. Other companies like MST have been making their own chassis to work with older Tamiya bodies so I went that route. They literally come with Tamiya bodies in the box, it’s like Tamiya 2.0. I’m surprised that you got a Traxxas but I don’t blame you as that body is really nice. BTW, Traxxas sells the TRX4 in kit form without the body.
Great video. Are you going to be selling the bronco interiors? If so how much would they be? I would love to be able to put a driver in mine. Thanks so much.
Yup, they are on shapeways and myminifactory. There are links in the build videos. The interior is a freaking fortune given the size of some of the parts. This is why i recommend some home prints on the big parts and some detail bits on shapeways.
Soon. This really has been dragging on. Prices are a problem due to the size and now our printer is down so I need to wait to get the updates done. What a giant pain!
I love Tamiya have and had many but also have and had many Traxxas RCs and for just plain toughness and pure bashability traxxas wins hands down. Our of everything I have ever owned my Traxxas Emaxx is still my go too RC. I sooo want one of these it seems to represent the very best of both brands. And I must have one eventually as it's currently way out of my financial reach right now
Dude the interior your designing for that Bronco is sweet Do you have any kind of a mailing list and are you planning on selling the interior your making? I'm getting ready to purchase the Bronco myself and I would love to have your interior to install inside it
Dude ..I want to throw my $ at Traxxas for this beast , but I WANT TO BUILD IT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM!! Sad for them , but I guess I'll wait for a beat up prospect to rear its ugly head on eBay to rebuild it and enjoy what I enjoy. I can't be the only one who feels this way. Awesome vid as usual!
Donovan Gladden, Traxxas is now offering a kit version of this chassis with all of the electronics but without a body-giving the buyer a choice of his/her own body. It will cost you more as a kit than RTR, the chassis kit is only $50 less than the RTR, the body set (not available just yet) will cost $160 (from Traxxas website-even more on eBay). The chrome wheels don’t come in the kit, the black wheels that come on the Defender-bodied TRX-4 are what’s included in the kit so there’s more $ to get those or something else. I also considered getting the kit and the body set together until I found out the huge cost difference just to be able to build it so I ended up buying the RTR from Power Hobby through eBay.
wow that is crazy! Thank you for all the info G.G. Looks like the RTR is the way to go, and a complete teardown would be in order after purchase. Twice the fun!
Donovan Gladden, that’s a good idea-the best way to see how it’s built and how to fix, maintain and upgrade it. I recently bought the metal gear set to replace the only 3 plastic gears in the transmission so that’ll be a a good time for me to learn about that and also put a little grease on all the gears in there-I’ve heard they’re practically ungreased-along with the portal gearboxes which I’ll grease those up too when I’m installing the aluminum portal covers. Also, I’ve seen a video on RUclips with another guy taking the transmission apart and the pinion gear needs to be moved about 1/16th of an inch inwards away from the end of the motor shaft to obtain a full mesh with the spur gear and stop the pinion gear from rubbing the gear cover (be careful not to move it too far in or the pinion gear set screw will run into the spur gear) I’ve already noticed that issue with my truck and fixed it.
Awesome, had an lol at the cc01 crack on the steering. I'd give my eye teeth for a traxxas bronco, but as usual I can't afford it, I've just paid out for the tamiya Isuzu mu, Citroen 2cv , and the lancia rally, so the kitty's empty. Can't wait to see interior, would it fit the vaterra bronco, cause I have one of these. I just love the bronco looks. Great video. 😀👍👍👍
Sorry Chris I do not. It has mounts on the chassis in the front and a pin and barrel mount at the rear in place of the stock body mount . I will be ready in a couple months.
Omg. Hilarious!! 😂Total Traxxas Noob Lol IWatch the servos as I'm sure you've seen plenty of videos on them already. I do like that body & what Traxxas is doing with their scale stuff. It's really catching on world wide now. I've looked around in my local area & hasn't quite reach here yet but the modeling side of the hobby is blowing up. I wish I could find more 3D printed products for the Tactical body. I like the body because it's different. It's not a D90 or D110 or Jeep. Or Toyota or Blazer for that matter. There is just so many of them being done. I can't afford a hard body so I have to scale out the Lexan body
I bought a new steering servo but do you think I need better shift servos? That is a cool shell too so its nice to see Traxxas doing all these different styles.
AMPRO Engineering - I would definitely buy a few to keep as back up. If by some chance you have to mess with them at all. They will never be the same. My TRX4. So far so good but it's still pretty New. But my Summit I gone threw 5 micros. It's like if I look at it wrong they broke. Hate them. Hate Hate Hate‼️ Those servos. So much I'm taking them all out of my Summit & if they go in the TRX4 the diffs will get full time lockers. For the trans I'd like a full size servo mount like RC4wd has on the scale trans. Also I'd like a few different options for the steering servo mount & body mounts.
I am detailing the final production unit as we speak. Give me a week or so but fair warning, it cost more that the freaking truck. I may have overdone it.
I just subscribed to your channel, and I got to tell you awesome, as soon as that interior is for sale for sure I will be getting one. I've had my bronco for seven weeks, and I love it it performs right of the box, nothing stops it. But the steering servo has a circuit breaker in it take the bottom cover off of the servo and solder all way across to circuit breaker no more worries. By got to have one of those interiors for my bronco, I will be watching for the release of this interior for sure thank you for sharing
Awesome! I’ve purchased your work in the past, now you have my attention! I’m ready to send you payment on a Bronco interior... even if it’s in the design stage!! Just curious, do you have an eta on the interior? -Frank
The body of my TRX4 Bronco is beat to crap. I will definitely pick up another when it's available but it won't be cheap at around $150. One word of advice, don't you dare put a body clip on that body, it will scratch almost immediately. Go magnets from the get go if you want to keep it pretty. The black paint makes the lexan scratches really stand out.
This video was amazing... I ALMOST DIED LAUGHING 😂😂😂😂 Honestly though, what's your overall opinion of the truck? I hope you like it, the thing is actually quite a fenominal machine.
All I buy is high end Traxxas products.......My opinion is why waste my time building them when i can take them out and run them immediately and have fun with them......I used to build Tamiya but as far as I'm concerned Traxxas is the best
That is great to hear. The fun part to me is the build. I completely tribute my mechanical engineering career to my RC10 and Hornet that I rebuilt millions of times as a kid. Fact of the mater is, Traxxas is crazy popular in the US and Tamiya is faltering despite the fact the Tamiya created almost every facet of RC cars. They created scalers, short course trucks, touring cars, and stadium trucks. They only kick off the idea but Traxxas perpetually runs with it and creates amazing stuff. Tamiya....they haven't done anything great in 20 years.
@@AMPROEngineering I was wondering with my co-worker who bought used TRX-4 that it just doesn't look anything like Träxxäss. Maybe they gave "free hands" to someone else to design and make the whole thing?
Hey AMPRO, don't knock the Trail Finder. The Trailfinder is the best thing on the market. Taking a truck out of the box doesn't compare to a trailfinder 2.
No way man, I love the trailfinder! I also have one. I think the TF2 is stunning. It is the Tamiya High-Lift that is a pile in comparison. Did i call out the wrong car when I was complaining?
I don't understand why you would complain that Traxxas is doing Tamiya regarding mudguards. Mudguards are as old as cars themselves. it's like complaining they also used round tyres just like Tamiya!?
No no, I am complaining that Tamiya isn't doing what Traxxas is. It might have sounded like I was referring to mud guards but I was talking about the whole car. I am upset the Tamiya isn't looking at what is popular and has handed Traxxas the proverbial keys to the scaler market. I love what Traxxas has done with every inch of the Bronco and feel Tamiya is blind to what is going on across the pond. Their offerings pale in comparison to the TRX4.
AMPRO Engineering ok my bad 😅 Well they have some strange folks at Tamiya, they do well as a buisness I think, but it would be nice to see them listen to what people actually want.
No no, It is that I am mad at Tamiya for ignoring the scaler market that they created and handing the keys over to companies like Traxxas and RC4wd. I said nothing bad about Traxxas at all other than that I do not like RTR kits. I like to build everything I own. This Traxxas is bloody amazing.
Watching because I just bought the same trx4, I'm a fan of tamiya and traxxas but tamiya is outdated even their new stuff is just out of style compared to what everyone else is doing, traxxas didn't do what tamiya should have traxxas did their own thing and made a competitive crawler for what's out these days, tamiya needs to catch up they have the high lift or whatever but those aren't that common anymore.
Well when you able to please let me know asap I don't care about the money on how but I've been trying to find someone who can make a 69 c10 step side truck for me
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)

And, of course the long arm lift kit is out. I installed the long arm loft, and a set of 2.2 proline super swamper tsl/sx xl tires on proline faulting 2.2 rims. Looks awesome, and works fantastic, just needs a stronger steering servo
I actually put smaller tires on it so my servo is hanging in there but I ordered a new one since I was told they are pretty unreliable.
I just got one of these. I have a lot of your tamiya designs and looking forward to your interior design for this. As soon as I got mine, I thought to myself, AmPro has to make a sick interior for this. Can't wait.

I totally agree!
Traxxas does have the light kit out for the bronco body, however they don't have a version with the light controller and rock lights.
Do they now? Ill look. You would need that light power supply to run the lights and the rock lights wouldnt you?
AMPRO Engineering yeah, the light kit traxxas put out for the bronco body doesn't have rock lights or the controller. I ordered all three from my local hobby shop, along with the pushbar from traxxas so I have a place to mount a pair of old school style Off road lights.

Nice! Can’t wait for this interior Alberto! 👍
Me too!
me 3.
Traxxas is super complicated but tamiya is simple and prehistoric
263 dollars american... ahhhh I have the bronco but that's way to high of a price!
I love this truck! Don’t own one personally, a little on the expensive side. But I truly do find this truck amazing. I have driven one, they are amazingly capable. Gonna have to let people know about the interior!
I know, the truck is amazing!
AMPRO Engineering Curious, how will the tub of the interior attach to the body/truck? Or is that still being planned?
Money for rc sparcks
So...I picked up a TRX4 a few days ago. I think I'm going to have to get your interior, so no rush, but get that thing done!!! Lol ;)
Haha! It is on order at shapeways so very soon!
I'm just checking back about the interior I'm still watching for when it's ready, that is going to set the bronco off, I will be getting one or two. I will be watching for more
Soon! Haha! I promise.
Being a Classic Ford enthusiast like me, I expect a TRUE, Beautiful representation of the Bronco Dash!! 😱 Judging by the way that Traxxas Fan-Boys are snapping these up, an interior kit, of the quality that you're used to, will sell FASTER than Shapeways can make them!
I wish you luck in your massive Success Alberto!!
Carmine 🚂
And you're right.... My CC-01 Landfreeder is looking at this, red faced!!!
I don't know why Tamiya continues with the CC01. It is ancient.
Tamiya CAN do it.... They have the bright mind's.
They just WON'T!!! Sad really, because they invented Scalers in the very late 70's!
They started out being *innovators!!!*
Sad. I really don't want TRAXX-ASS having the "Crown".....
Manuals are so handy huh? Lol
Love the videos and tech info. Keep it up!
Oh boy they are!
Very cool and I thought my 3printed gas tank for the trx4 was cool.. I’d like to have this interior thumbs up👍🏼👍🏼
Oh can I see? Thanks man! Ill show the prototype in episode 150.
Check out some of my latest videos it has 3-D printed parts and designs I’ve created for the Trx4s. I have more to come I just have an air dam time is limited right now
Ps I’ve got some serious designs I. Progress for these trx4s love the rigs sky’s the limit with creating 8-)
Cool man ill check it out!
Sounds like your impressed! The Tamiya fleet was laughing about the power switch!!! Entertaining video. Please don't forget about the tamiyas after your first drive???
Hahaha! No i will not.
I bought an AXIAL 90046 recently, and I am very disappointed with it when the first time I ran it. I could have chosen the TRX4 Bronco, damn it !
I do not know that one. Why do you not like it?
90046 doesn't have a differential as a result when the truck turns right or left, it wobbles a lot, I know some people say "the crawler needs no differential", but I prefer a truck with a differential lock that you can choose to open or lock(such as TRX4)
I'm in love with that body too!
But the price tag is way more than I can afford right now.
One thing I highly dislike is the setup for the difflocks.
It should lock the rear first, then the front, as you do in the 1:1 world.
Not as set up by Traxxas.
Be prepared to adjust the diff lock cables as they do stretch and if not adjusted in time, those small servos will be broken in matter of short time.
You can read the subject and fix, on the rccrawler.com forum.
To make life easy, I would have bought spools to get rid of the diff lock problems for good :-)
Traxxas electronics are not good, esc is the best item. Servos tend to go after a while, so do the transmitters. I have 5 collecting dust here, all broken.
Other than that, Traxxas is allmost bullet proof and parts can be bought in allmost every hobby shop there is.
Really looking forward to the scale interior :-)
Cheers
Richard
yeah I heard about the diff lock issues but as someone that locks and unlocks diffs a lot during a run, I am happy with this. I too am confused at the front then rear setup but I do not know much about real 4WD for that mater.

I totally agree. I have no desire to get a CC02 at this point. Tamiya missed the mark totally with it.
AMPRO Engineering even the dang chassis rails are cinchy plastic
AMPRO Engineering I always hear the Manta Ray was the best engineered and handling Tamiya out of the box. Have you had a video on them?
@@jonthomas8487 Best engineered! OMG no. Haha! They are not a bad car but painfully weak in the transmission area. I do not own one.
AMPRO Engineering which one is the most durable in the 4WD buggies?
How's the interior coming along for the bronco? That's the last piece to my bronco puzzle. I would by one in a second.
I am waiting to get the prototype from shapeways....its taking so long. Production problems are hampering it due to the size.
Really like the trx4 bristling with innovation . and looks so cool only have one traxxas myself the slash and it is indestructible
I agree. My neighbor has one and I cannot believe that thing.
Oh the power switch was funny 😄🤣
I seriously had no idea.
AMPRO Engineering ,, 😂😂😂🤣😂🤣
I've always been a Traxxas fan love the video I have the same Bronco
I am brand new to it and love the thing!
Congrats brotha! Lol u and Tom track n myself all got new traxxas yesterday! He also got the bronco, I bought the new UDR!
Oh awesome!
on the esc!!! you are a tamiya guy, but it was fun to watch you look for the elusive switch
Haha! I thought that was a set switch only.
I will need two interiors!!! When will they be available?
They should have been done by now but the size and my ways of reducing material for the printing process is causing shapeways headaches. The prototype will be in in about a week and then a month after that is when I can validate the production unit and make this available!
How is the interior coming along. I can't wait to get an interior for my TRX4
Nearly done!
Lovely man :D
Now I have to buy it.
Thanks, it will be out soon!
Haha! Thanks man!
Awsome cant wait to own it!!
I hope I make it perfect! Wish I could share all the little things it will have!
哇奥，楼主又更新了！先顶再看！
Google translate did not work well on this one! Haha!
I’ve been searching for “Tamiya crawler” for awhile now and haven’t seen anything new to compete with modern vehicles. Other companies like MST have been making their own chassis to work with older Tamiya bodies so I went that route. They literally come with Tamiya bodies in the box, it’s like Tamiya 2.0. I’m surprised that you got a Traxxas but I don’t blame you as that body is really nice. BTW, Traxxas sells the TRX4 in kit form without the body.
They are supposed to be selling the body by itself as well soon.
I'm also surprised I got a traxxas. Tamiya is seriously falling by the curb here. They have nothing close to this at all.
They are now.
I love your confusion and total “gush-fest” in this video! 😁
Haha! It was all genuine.
Looking forward to see the interior piece. You think the Tamiya 4x4 driver figure will fit into this then?
That is the plan. I am hoping it will be a direct drop in.
I need this for my trx4
I am working on the production interior right now! Ill have a video up soon.
Great video. Are you going to be selling the bronco interiors? If so how much would they be? I would love to be able to put a driver in mine. Thanks so much.
Yup. they will be on Shapeways. Estimates are disturbing right now. Probably as much as the TRX4 kit.
Do you mean the interior will be 400 dollars?
That traxxas is a beauty👌
That is the truth.
Hello, nice interior. Do you sell those on Shapeways? How much do they sell for? Thanks
Yup, they are on shapeways and myminifactory. There are links in the build videos. The interior is a freaking fortune given the size of some of the parts. This is why i recommend some home prints on the big parts and some detail bits on shapeways.
When do you think you will have the interior for sale? I need one!!
Soon. This really has been dragging on. Prices are a problem due to the size and now our printer is down so I need to wait to get the updates done. What a giant pain!
Sorry if this sounds dumb but will the interior ur designing be for sale? I have this bronco too and in dire need of a scale interior sir
Na man it it does not sound dumb! Yeah It will be on my shapeways store as soon as I finish it.
Tamiya arrrgghhhhh! WHY DO I LOVE YOU,,, I feel the same way but we have Traxxas to save the day
I hear that....
Do you ever build or do you plan to build anything from Tekno RC?
Sadly I do not know anything about Tekno but 6 months ago I didnt own a Traxxas...
😊👍 That's a nice machine for sure!
Heck ya...
I love Tamiya have and had many but also have and had many Traxxas RCs and for just plain toughness and pure bashability traxxas wins hands down. Our of everything I have ever owned my Traxxas Emaxx is still my go too RC. I sooo want one of these it seems to represent the very best of both brands. And I must have one eventually as it's currently way out of my financial reach right now
Yeah I know what you mean. These are bullet proof.
exelent bronco has profesional detailed y like and test run.
It is a great runner.
I really want a quality built interior for my TRX4 Bronco. How much? Great video
Dont know yet. There will be 3 versions (full, half and cab only). I will have prototypes in soon!
@@AMPROEngineering where is it already?!?!! I have a 79 ford truck that is DYING for this interior!!!!
Dude the interior your designing for that Bronco is sweet Do you have any kind of a mailing list and are you planning on selling the interior your making? I'm getting ready to purchase the Bronco myself and I would love to have your interior to install inside it
Haha, na I will post here when it is done. I am doing the final print test right now and will order the production interior tomorrow.
How close are you to making an interior?
So, so close. Working on rear mounting and then alignment to the rear body mounting.
I'm wanting to get into 3D printing for my cars/trucks. What printer to do use? thanks for any info.
You should! I actually just use shapeways.com for everything. I find them much cheaper than any alternative.
did u make the new interior from the bronco yet
It is all done and waiting for the prototype.
Dude ..I want to throw my $ at Traxxas for this beast , but I WANT TO BUILD IT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM!! Sad for them , but I guess I'll wait for a beat up prospect to rear its ugly head on eBay to rebuild it and enjoy what I enjoy.
I can't be the only one who feels this way.
Awesome vid as usual!
I know! I do think they have a kit now but it is generic so you need to buy the body. Thing is so amazing I am forgiving the RTR of the truck.
Donovan Gladden, Traxxas is now offering a kit version of this chassis with all of the electronics but without a body-giving the buyer a choice of his/her own body. It will cost you more as a kit than RTR, the chassis kit is only $50 less than the RTR, the body set (not available just yet) will cost $160 (from Traxxas website-even more on eBay). The chrome wheels don’t come in the kit, the black wheels that come on the Defender-bodied TRX-4 are what’s included in the kit so there’s more $ to get those or something else. I also considered getting the kit and the body set together until I found out the huge cost difference just to be able to build it so I ended up buying the RTR from Power Hobby through eBay.
wow that is crazy! Thank you for all the info G.G.
Looks like the RTR is the way to go, and a complete teardown would be in order after purchase. Twice the fun!
Donovan Gladden, that’s a good idea-the best way to see how it’s built and how to fix, maintain and upgrade it. I recently bought the metal gear set to replace the only 3 plastic gears in the transmission so that’ll be a a good time for me to learn about that and also put a little grease on all the gears in there-I’ve heard they’re practically ungreased-along with the portal gearboxes which I’ll grease those up too when I’m installing the aluminum portal covers. Also, I’ve seen a video on RUclips with another guy taking the transmission apart and the pinion gear needs to be moved about 1/16th of an inch inwards away from the end of the motor shaft to obtain a full mesh with the spur gear and stop the pinion gear from rubbing the gear cover (be careful not to move it too far in or the pinion gear set screw will run into the spur gear) I’ve already noticed that issue with my truck and fixed it.
Interior Kit done? I want one.
Few more weeks...
Awesome, had an lol at the cc01 crack on the steering. I'd give my eye teeth for a traxxas bronco, but as usual I can't afford it, I've just paid out for the tamiya Isuzu mu, Citroen 2cv , and the lancia rally, so the kitty's empty. Can't wait to see interior, would it fit the vaterra bronco, cause I have one of these.
I just love the bronco looks.
Great video. 😀👍👍👍
I love the 2CV and the Lancia Rally and am thinking about one of those two...Thanks man!
Do you have one for the traxxas trx4 defender? How will it mount?
Sorry Chris I do not. It has mounts on the chassis in the front and a pin and barrel mount at the rear in place of the stock body mount . I will be ready in a couple months.
Omg. Hilarious!! 😂Total Traxxas Noob Lol IWatch the servos as I'm sure you've seen plenty of videos on them already. I do like that body & what Traxxas is doing with their scale stuff. It's really catching on world wide now. I've looked around in my local area & hasn't quite reach here yet but the modeling side of the hobby is blowing up. I wish I could find more 3D printed products for the Tactical body. I like the body because it's different. It's not a D90 or D110 or Jeep. Or Toyota or Blazer for that matter. There is just so many of them being done. I can't afford a hard body so I have to scale out the Lexan body
I bought a new steering servo but do you think I need better shift servos? That is a cool shell too so its nice to see Traxxas doing all these different styles.
AMPRO Engineering - I would definitely buy a few to keep as back up.
If by some chance you have to mess with them at all. They will never be the same. My TRX4. So far so good but it's still pretty New. But my Summit I gone threw 5 micros. It's like if I look at it wrong they broke. Hate them. Hate Hate Hate‼️ Those servos. So much I'm taking them all out of my Summit & if they go in the TRX4 the diffs will get full time lockers. For the trans I'd like a full size servo mount like RC4wd has on the scale trans. Also I'd like a few different options for the steering servo mount & body mounts.
where can we get that interior for our broncos?
Links are all in the description. They are on shapeways. Let me know if you have any questions on there.
Is the interior available for purchase?
Very soon. I will have it here when it is. Been a hard process.
Very soon!
Hey wassup bro. I am very interested in your interior and am curious when this will be available? And i kno this kit is gonna be legit !😎💯
I am detailing the final production unit as we speak. Give me a week or so but fair warning, it cost more that the freaking truck. I may have overdone it.
@@AMPROEngineering lol damn haha i was hoping like $150 or so
Jeez tell me about it. It really got out of control.
I just subscribed to your channel, and I got to tell you awesome, as soon as that interior is for sale for sure I will be getting one. I've had my bronco for seven weeks, and I love it it performs right of the box, nothing stops it. But the steering servo has a circuit breaker in it take the bottom cover off of the servo and solder all way across to circuit breaker no more worries. By got to have one of those interiors for my bronco, I will be watching for the release of this interior for sure thank you for sharing
Glad you like it Andy! I'm working on hard on it!
I want one for mine too 👍🏻
How is that interior doing my friend for the bronco, I got the money now so I'm ready anytime hey found no new videos on it
I will take one as well! Just subbed.
Suuuuuubed, why did I not know about this guy? Hopefully you’re puttin’ some cup holders in there and an optional clip on suicide knob. 😆
Trust me, you have no idea what this interior will have....it will be freaking awesome.
little Taco Bell wrappers in the back seat? 😆
Awesome! I’ve purchased your work in the past, now you have my attention! I’m ready to send you payment on a Bronco interior... even if it’s in the design stage!! Just curious, do you have an eta on the interior?
-Frank
Hey Frank, I say 2 months or less. Half that time is printing!
Did you get the interior? I want one lol
Yup, ill publish the detailing video soon!
The body of my TRX4 Bronco is beat to crap. I will definitely pick up another when it's available but it won't be cheap at around $150. One word of advice, don't you dare put a body clip on that body, it will scratch almost immediately. Go magnets from the get go if you want to keep it pretty. The black paint makes the lexan scratches really stand out.
The clear one is now available for $60 i think now. I was thinking about the mag mounts so I am glad you brought it up!
Muahahahaha... Welcome to the Darkside my friend!
Haha!
This video was amazing... I ALMOST DIED LAUGHING 😂😂😂😂
Honestly though, what's your overall opinion of the truck? I hope you like it, the thing is actually quite a fenominal machine.
I seriously love it. I mean seriously. It is amazing and it makes me so mad at all of my other Tamiya's that are no way even close to this truck.
All I buy is high end Traxxas products.......My opinion is why waste my time building them when i can take them out and run them immediately and have fun with them......I used to build Tamiya but as far as I'm concerned Traxxas is the best
That is great to hear. The fun part to me is the build. I completely tribute my mechanical engineering career to my RC10 and Hornet that I rebuilt millions of times as a kid. Fact of the mater is, Traxxas is crazy popular in the US and Tamiya is faltering despite the fact the Tamiya created almost every facet of RC cars. They created scalers, short course trucks, touring cars, and stadium trucks. They only kick off the idea but Traxxas perpetually runs with it and creates amazing stuff. Tamiya....they haven't done anything great in 20 years.
Just read the article in the latest issue of RC Car Action on 3D printing... saw a shoutout to shapeways, but no love for Ampro?!? Wtf?!?
Yeah I have sent a lot of stuff in there but they don't really do much with old tamiya upgrades. They want modern stuff that people care about.
Booo! They suck! The old cars and trucks are the bomb! Very unsatified with my subscription!
I just put in my order for the complete Superfly2 upgrade (less the body stuff) almost as much $$ as a new RC10 kit...
My order just arrived! Can't wait to start building!
Those Koreans have made excellent work making that car.. 😉
This is Korean? I thought it was made in China? TBH i never checked the box.
@@AMPROEngineering I was wondering with my co-worker who bought used TRX-4 that it just doesn't look anything like Träxxäss. Maybe they gave "free hands" to someone else to design and make the whole thing?
Hey AMPRO, don't knock the Trail Finder. The Trailfinder is the best thing on the market. Taking a truck out of the box doesn't compare to a trailfinder 2.
No way man, I love the trailfinder! I also have one. I think the TF2 is stunning. It is the Tamiya High-Lift that is a pile in comparison. Did i call out the wrong car when I was complaining?
Nice🙂👍
Thank you!
I don't understand why you would complain that Traxxas is doing Tamiya regarding mudguards. Mudguards are as old as cars themselves. it's like complaining they also used round tyres just like Tamiya!?
No no, I am complaining that Tamiya isn't doing what Traxxas is. It might have sounded like I was referring to mud guards but I was talking about the whole car. I am upset the Tamiya isn't looking at what is popular and has handed Traxxas the proverbial keys to the scaler market. I love what Traxxas has done with every inch of the Bronco and feel Tamiya is blind to what is going on across the pond. Their offerings pale in comparison to the TRX4.
AMPRO Engineering ok my bad 😅 Well they have some strange folks at Tamiya, they do well as a buisness I think, but it would be nice to see them listen to what people actually want.
I know...it's like they don't see what RC4WD has done...so odd.
What do you have against traxxas that you kept going on rants about "tamiya this traxxas that traxxas is bad bla bla bla"
No no, It is that I am mad at Tamiya for ignoring the scaler market that they created and handing the keys over to companies like Traxxas and RC4wd. I said nothing bad about Traxxas at all other than that I do not like RTR kits. I like to build everything I own. This Traxxas is bloody amazing.
Watching because I just bought the same trx4, I'm a fan of tamiya and traxxas but tamiya is outdated even their new stuff is just out of style compared to what everyone else is doing, traxxas didn't do what tamiya should have traxxas did their own thing and made a competitive crawler for what's out these days, tamiya needs to catch up they have the high lift or whatever but those aren't that common anymore.
They really need to do something like this. Even the CC02 is a disappointment.
Here comes the plastic comments🤣
Haha!
I sub to you when will this be available for purchase?
Thanks man! I hope about 2 months. A couple weeks more design work and then about a month to get all the parts from shapeways!
Awesome I can't wait. Do you make/design RC hard body's for ppl to buy?
Not as of yet due to print costs but soon...
Well when you able to please let me know asap I don't care about the money on how but I've been trying to find someone who can make a 69 c10 step side truck for me
The only good Traxxas vehicles are this and the Bigfoot.
I wish I knew more about them as a whole. This is really an amazing chassis.
Should be a full 3d interior with floorboards, just saying
Oh it is a complete interior. That was what I showed in the cad but it was a lighter color. Seats, console, shift and all that good stuff is all done.
Want to make me one of ur Bronco interior for me give me a price.
They will be on shapeways for purchase soon!
The suspense is killing me... Where is the interior?!?! I have a catapult of money aimed at my screen just waiting...
Haha! I just did the dash fit test yesterday and need to sort the rear body mount. This whole thing has nearly been canned 20 times already.
@@AMPROEngineering annnnnd??????😁
I mean it's gotta be better than the sad junk those other guys just released...
not Tamiya this time !
No it is not....
Omg read the instructions you are a adult you should know this
Eh, where is the fun in that?
You complain to much dude 😂
That is how you get to where I am in my day job. lol
