Cheers from Calgary HemiStorm, gotta tell you I be lost without your videos as well, I purchased an Axial Honcho years ago thanks to your video review you got me off that fence as well .. cheers Brutha!!
On a fun note, my wife’s been watching your channel with me for a few weeks now, and she had me order her a SCX24 last night! She’ll be my driving buddy now!
This is one of the best looking traxxas vehicles...... Except for the tires!!! Traxxas needs to pursue a officially licensed tire company to complete the bad ass look. I think it's where this model fell shirt. But bad ass none the less, thank you for the great review.
I agree the trail canyons are ginormous. BUTT. the sasquatch package for the real broncos do include huge 35" tires so... it almost looks just right haha and you know people with real broncos will stuff 37s under them like immediately lol
Just bought this today at a local shop. My first every RC anything. Drove it in the back yard. I am surprised how fast it goes in high gear. I am a 73 year old kid. I live in Phoenix, Very hot, 109 today. Have to wait til Oct to get out and play. Beautiful detailed unit. The store talked me out of buying the Arrma Kraton 6S. I am glad they did, this so much more manageable for my first car. I got the yellow one.
Haven't been a Bronco guy, but gotta have one of these. Whoops! My only other TRX4 is a .....wait for it.....'79 Bronco. Gotta give Traxxas credit for the post-less body mount design. Very nice. Looking forwards to a straight axle / IFS conversion.
I'm glad you mentioned the orange color may look different in person, every photo and video I've seen make it look more yellow than orange. Can't wait to see one in person.
That added body rigidity is awesome! I had a TRX6 and it had nothing at all! That’s awesome to see. Do you know offhand if they make a two door? Probably not eh
I've been wanting a trx4 again, but none of the body options appealed to me. Definitely getting one. I too enjoy the fact you got orange and Josh got red lol.
Just got mine yesterday from a local hobby shop! Got it in cyber orange. Today I put it on some orange 1.9" Methods and some Super Swampers. It looks amazing and it is so much fun! I'll have to look into building an interior like that because that is super cool and I cannot wait for the advanced lighting kit. Summer scale adventures on the way! P.S. Love the videos. You're a great resource for a guy getting back into rc after many years. Cheers.
I've got this on pre-order as well as the 1:1 on pre-order! Here's to hoping they offer the body in an unpainted version so I can color match it to Ford's "Carbonized Gray", which I'm fairly sure Tamiya PS-23 Gun Metal will work.
It will definitely make it into my garage.....9 out of 10 of my rigs are Trx4 platforms...my Bomber will have some Traxxas chassis and electronics in it....plans for 3 more Trx4 builds.
I'm definitely getting one, this and the real one, but I want black. This has to be the most expensive body on the market right now at $225! The body is half of the price of the RTR and costs as much as some full RTRs or kits.
Great video (as usual.) I always enjoy your content! Yep. This is the one that will likely get me into a TRX4. The Defender was pretty tempting but Ford did an amazing job with the design of the new Bronco and Traxxas nailed it in replicating it! This is the most excited I have been for a release since the SCX10 II Cherokee.
Just bought the red bronco today! They also had a deal for getting a free winch if you got the bronco RTR. I wanted a kit to build but at the moment I don’t really have the work space. The bronco seemed like the best bang for buck that they had in stock. I love it already!
Hi I'm new to the scene of RC's and would like to get into it I wanted to know what would be a good beginner rig for me there's so many out there that is overwhelming I'm in New Mexico so I have mud snow rain rocks desert lol any help would be highly appreciated 👊
Nice to see that you got one too!!!! You were looking pretty jealous the other night as your bud was fondling his!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘🤘 The yellow looks AWESOME!!! Yea it probably will be added to the collection.
I was wanting to build a vs4-10, after talking with you, Josh, & Moosejaw. My wife and I ending up moving to Plano which is 20 minutes north of Dallas and it got into my rc funds just a bit. The new trx-4 is bad ass and it might tide me over until I can build what I really really want.
I will definitely be getting one. I'm so addicted to the scale side of RC it's inevitable. The orange for sure. It will look real noce next to my 1979 Sunset Bronco, Green Ford F100 Axial, and 1984 Toyota Pickup sitting on Enduro chassis! 🤟
Heck Yes! Actually get one of each color, a clear body kit, light kits and winches. I, like you have been collecting bits for the New Brite body build. Great review!
You wouldn't. Probably not something Traxxas planned for, as it's not an option they offer. Time to cut some holes for body posts, or deal with the lost up-travel.
Already have the Racer Red on order! Adding it to my stable of three New Brights that I built on Element Trail Runner chassis. Had to have the IFS on those to be legit IMHO. Especially since I have a two door on order from Ford.
It’s really a lovely body- looks better than the NB hard plastic! I think I’d lean toward a Sport still, but I dunno, maybe. My friend has Sport with the two speed and that extra wheel speed is more useful than I expected.
Mine is bought and paid for, just waiting for it to arrive at the hobby store... now which color do I want? Red or yellow, red or yellow, red or yellow???? Carbonized gray is not an option. Help!
About to start a scx10 III build the only reason I chose the Axial is the trx4 had those stupid body mounts and no interior. Looks like my next build will be a traxxas.
I love the lockers. I have them on my comp rig, tighter turning radius for 1 and for 2, in c2 dig isnt legal but unlocking the rear and hooking a tire to whip it around.
Great looking body on a well known chassis. Since I don't have a Traxxas in my arsenal, this might be the first one or do I replace my 4 year old laptop instead?.. Mm..Choices. just have to see what my funding is. Cheers!
@@scalebuildersguild hello Matt, the weather out here of course is usually pretty awesome. We get the chinooks roll in and we can be outside in the middle of winter in t-shirts and trail runs are definitely not out of the question this time of year.
If cost and access to parts isn't a factor.. which kit is more preffered in terms of overall performance and upgradability.. Traxxas TRX4 or SCX 10 iii?
They're both pretty close, in my opinion. I think it comes down to your body preference. The TRX4 is a bit older than the III, so there's likely more parts out there.
I was waiting forever for the TRX4 Blazer, (still waiting and I still love it) but I’ve decided for my first TRX4 to go with the BRONCO, love the new look, body clips etc especially with the new light kit should be awesome right next to my RC4WD Blazer!👍🤠🇨🇦
The trx 4 is awesome, I do prefer the sport, but that's me, this body is awesome and from the reviews I've previously seen, it is very capable. Great review man😎
I would like to have that body to put on my enduro but might just buy the whole thing just to have a traxxas crawler. any guesses on price of that body?
The TRX-4 has been on my list for a while. I’m in the market for a trail truck or crawler and I’ve been leaning towards the Redcat Gen 8. This new Bronco looks great but at its price point it’s making me consider the Gmade Buffalo.
Traxxas TRX4 seems like a great platform, but I never really wanted one until now. Finally, a body I really like, with no exposed body posts. I would have to improve the approach angle a bit. This is the current front runner for my next RC.
Already have my real one on order....I guess I need the model one as well. The body clip and skeleton look much like the same on my e-revo as well. I was thinking of buying something much more scale then this popped up.
Those light kits already exist for a long time and I bet you can buy ten of them for the same price you buy one from traxxas The body looks great though
I wish Traxxas put more effort into it and give it IFS like the real thing, not just new shell and and body parts. Than a Raptor body wouldn't boil my blood and made sense. That being said, the body is really nice.
Tempting, very tempting...but those portal axles are a no for me. And I already have a bullnose Bronco body waiting to be painted like my actual bullnose Bronco sitting outside my dads garage.
It’s cool to see Traxxas giving a new crawler release and they did a great job on the body, but honestly I’ve been so over the bronco being shoved down everyone’s throat. But seriously, Still no interior from the factory!
Im not sure how I feel about this i have never been a fan of the trx 4 platform but now I think it looks nice.. still not a fan probably won't get one. But cool to look at
Had a weird problem with my 1979 Ford bronco. Bought it in July 2023 but now that it's December 2023 (in case anyone is looking at this later). Basically I was running it in the rain and I think moisture got in the receiver and transmitter (not water, moisture) and messed with the connection. After turning it off and on again a ton of times the front shifter servo burnt out. Should I replace the servo, transmitter & receiver or just the servo?
@@scalebuildersguild gotcha. I've got a nice friend who's gifting it to me for a Christmas gift 😅 also I kinda forgot to buy the extended warranty. I'll make sure to contact Traxxas anyway. Hope you have a great new years and keep on building awesome rigs!
I agree, it does look great! And that clipless body mounting system is awesome! Some things I would have loved to see was a lighter tint on the windows with an interior and driver and also with the light kit installed. Man if they did that it would really have been a home (ready to) run. Anyway... great review, Matt. Thanks for showing us :)
seems big. real life wheelbase on 4 door bronco is 116”. axial jeep wrangler 4 door is even a big body and still 12.3” wheelbase. the body mount setup looks really nice though. by the way wheelbase on a real 4 door wrangler is 118” so the bronco should definitely be shorter
If I can come up with the funds, I do want to have a Bronco in my collection. And like you, I do prefer that orange as they call it, to my it looks yellow.
Like someone would say who is on a high fibre diet: that looks like a very solid release!
I'm a one like master, (been told by others).. I've never heard that one 😁
😜
Not gonna lie,. thats a shitty thing to say. :P
HemiStorm, I can only imagine the magic touch you will add to this. I look forward to seeing what you do with it.
Cheers from Calgary HemiStorm, gotta tell you I be lost without your videos as well, I purchased an Axial Honcho years ago thanks to your video review you got me off that fence as well .. cheers
Brutha!!
Yeah. My wife took my debit card away from me once I showed her the release announcement. Jokes on her…card info is saved in my browser!!
Lemme get your ip address bub lol
Go ahead and add another one to the order I’m not picky on the color either will be fine
Lmao
Hows sleeping on the couch? Lol
I hope Traxxas comes out with a conversion kit for the clip system for the older TRX 4s.
On a fun note, my wife’s been watching your channel with me for a few weeks now, and she had me order her a SCX24 last night! She’ll be my driving buddy now!
Fantastic! This hobby is always better when you can share!
Good move. Get her into trailing. Fun together. Great exercise.
Fantastic video! I agree the folding mirrors are crucial for city parking. 😎
Spoken like a true city dweller. 😆
This is one of the best looking traxxas vehicles...... Except for the tires!!! Traxxas needs to pursue a officially licensed tire company to complete the bad ass look.
I think it's where this model fell shirt. But bad ass none the less, thank you for the great review.
I agree the trail canyons are ginormous.
BUTT.
the sasquatch package for the real broncos do include huge 35" tires so... it almost looks just right haha and you know people with real broncos will stuff 37s under them like immediately lol
The pro scale light kit for this one is sweet. I have one on mine.
Just bought this today at a local shop. My first every RC anything. Drove it in the back yard. I am surprised how fast it goes in high gear. I am a 73 year old kid. I live in Phoenix, Very hot, 109 today. Have to wait til Oct to get out and play. Beautiful detailed unit. The store talked me out of buying the Arrma Kraton 6S. I am glad they did, this so much more manageable for my first car. I got the yellow one.
I just finished building my SCX 10 iii and I see this...
Same
Just a body on the same.old chassis. You could always buy the body itll be 200 probably for lexan.
I love it sooooo much that you got an orange one and Josh got the red lol
Orange?
It’s yellow
Traxxas is really doing a great job with their trail trucks and crawlers !!
Haven't been a Bronco guy, but gotta have one of these. Whoops! My only other TRX4 is a .....wait for it.....'79 Bronco. Gotta give Traxxas credit for the post-less body mount design. Very nice. Looking forwards to a straight axle / IFS conversion.
Bronco body is fun to wear as a hat ;-D
I teach at an elementary school and on crazy hat day I wore my Slash Beetle body.
I'm glad you mentioned the orange color may look different in person, every photo and video I've seen make it look more yellow than orange. Can't wait to see one in person.
I’ve waited for Traxxas to make this since Ford released it, so excited to see them in the wild
"Do you think that the Bronco is going to make it into your stable?"Hell yeah,its gorgeous.Can i afford?Hell no..
That added body rigidity is awesome! I had a TRX6 and it had nothing at all! That’s awesome to see. Do you know offhand if they make a two door? Probably not eh
Nope, not that I know of!
Great another no frills Traxxas. Keep the homemade rigs coming brother, way better than anything Traxxas can make.
I've been wanting a trx4 again, but none of the body options appealed to me. Definitely getting one.
I too enjoy the fact you got orange and Josh got red lol.
Twenty seconds in.. that grin on your face says it clear as a sunny day! “ Suck it Josh.. I got the orange one.”
Just got mine yesterday from a local hobby shop! Got it in cyber orange. Today I put it on some orange 1.9" Methods and some Super Swampers. It looks amazing and it is so much fun!

You're a great resource for a guy getting back into rc after many years. Cheers.
I hope a ifs kit is released for the Trx-4 soon. So I can get it and complain it’s not a solid axle.
I've got this on pre-order as well as the 1:1 on pre-order! Here's to hoping they offer the body in an unpainted version so I can color match it to Ford's "Carbonized Gray", which I'm fairly sure Tamiya PS-23 Gun Metal will work.
They do have an unpainted body available. The gray will look great. Have fun!
"Honey, I took out a loan for a new Bronco, should be coming in the mail soon"
It will definitely make it into my garage.....9 out of 10 of my rigs are Trx4 platforms...my Bomber will have some Traxxas chassis and electronics in it....plans for 3 more Trx4 builds.
Unlikely i'm gonna get a TRX4, but maybe the body for a Gatekeeper with IFS. 🤔
I'm definitely getting one, this and the real one, but I want black. This has to be the most expensive body on the market right now at $225! The body is half of the price of the RTR and costs as much as some full RTRs or kits.
The cost is high. The reality is though, I’d rather a high price tag than a half-baked product.
Great video (as usual.) I always enjoy your content! Yep. This is the one that will likely get me into a TRX4. The Defender was pretty tempting but Ford did an amazing job with the design of the new Bronco and Traxxas nailed it in replicating it! This is the most excited I have been for a release since the SCX10 II Cherokee.
Everything is amazing on the trx4 except the long wheelbase. My Blazer runs circles around my Bronco on the rocks
What a fancy hat that body makes! Looks like another great release on the TRX4 chassis.
A 2 door sport would deffo make it into my garage......looks like an awesome rig either way.
I mean, RIGHT AFTER I buy an scx10iii gladiator , Traxxas does this. WHY…WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Just bought the red bronco today! They also had a deal for getting a free winch if you got the bronco RTR. I wanted a kit to build but at the moment I don’t really have the work space. The bronco seemed like the best bang for buck that they had in stock. I love it already!
Cool! Enjoy, and thanks for watching!
Absolutely, preordered the Yellow/Orange one through my local RC store.
Hi I'm new to the scene of RC's and would like to get into it I wanted to know what would be a good beginner rig for me there's so many out there that is overwhelming I'm in New Mexico so I have mud snow rain rocks desert lol any help would be highly appreciated 👊
Pretty much any of the larger companies. Axial, Element, Traxxas all have something to offer!
Just watch this video for the second time and yes I believe this will be parked in my stable soon. Thanks for all the work you do Matt. Much love.
Hey! Just bought mine from Dave at Great Hobbies. Told him I'm a big fan of your channel, too!
Awesome! Thank you!
The new Bronco will make its way into my TRX4 stable for sure. Great review!
Good choice!
Nice to see that you got one too!!!! You were looking pretty jealous the other night as your bud was fondling his!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘🤘 The yellow looks AWESOME!!! Yea it probably will be added to the collection.

Heck Yes! Actually get one of each color, a clear body kit, light kits and winches. I, like you have been collecting bits for the New Brite body build.
Great review!
How would you adjust body height with the clip less body system. If someone was to say delete the portals
You wouldn't. Probably not something Traxxas planned for, as it's not an option they offer. Time to cut some holes for body posts, or deal with the lost up-travel.
Or maybe... adapt the clips to an IFS element???
Or run smaller tires.
The body structure is awesome it was needed and how they did the clips was sweet!!
I'm digging in my sofa looking for $600.00 , I need this in my life ,awesome review
Already have the Racer Red on order! Adding it to my stable of three New Brights that I built on Element Trail Runner chassis. Had to have the IFS on those to be legit IMHO. Especially since I have a two door on order from Ford.

Think the black off road sight s are tie down points for a hailing something long. Thank you for the great video 🏁🏁🏁👍.
This seems like the perfect rig for horsing around. I'll see myself out.
With jokes like that, you can stay.
I love the lockers. I have them on my comp rig, tighter turning radius for 1 and for 2, in c2 dig isnt legal but unlocking the rear and hooking a tire to whip it around.
Came and watched the videos after rc driver made the compliment. Didn't know about the cruise!!
Great looking body on a well known chassis. Since I don't have a Traxxas in my arsenal, this might be the first one or do I replace my 4 year old laptop instead?.. Mm..Choices. just have to see what my funding is. Cheers!
DAMN! I just got that new RGT V3 Jimny. If Traxxas had a trade in program on rigs, I'd swipe it out lighting fast!
How do I acquire this for free? We have the same amount of subs
After watching your review on this RC I think this is one that I will be spending my money on...Thx 4 DaVid🍻🇨🇦
Just picked one up today and I'm excited. Good quality build.
Good choice!
The Bronco is so nice.
Thank you for your detailed explanation. 👏👍😊
Cheers from Calgary Matt, Absolutely, I am going to purchase one tonight.. Your review got me off the fence. 😜🤪👍
Have fun and glad I could help! How's the weather in Calgary?
@@scalebuildersguild hello Matt, the weather out here of course is usually pretty awesome. We get the chinooks roll in and we can be outside in the middle of winter in t-shirts and trail runs are definitely not out of the question this time of year.

They're both pretty close, in my opinion. I think it comes down to your body preference. The TRX4 is a bit older than the III, so there's likely more parts out there.
Could you do a video on tire and wheel sizes
Comparisons and what wheel sizes fit what tyres. Ie do 2.2 tyres fit 1.55 wheels etc.
It just might be my first Traxxas vehicle ever...
Ordered the maroon one yesterday can’t wait
keep fingers dirty to change batery and if clips snap, than replace those parts from cage if they will be available
I was waiting forever for the TRX4 Blazer, (still waiting and I still love it) but I’ve decided for my first TRX4 to go with the BRONCO, love the new look, body clips etc especially with the new light kit should be awesome right next to my RC4WD Blazer!👍🤠🇨🇦
I hope they come out with a clip less body Mount upgrade kit for the defender
This is probably one that would get me to buy one, traxxas. My last traxxas was a tmaxx 2. 5r. In around 2002
The trx 4 is awesome, I do prefer the sport, but that's me, this body is awesome and from the reviews I've previously seen, it is very capable. Great review man😎
I hope to add this to my stable. It is sweet. But first, finish the current builds I have going!
Go for it!
Thanks for the update bro. Truck looks really good and awesome videos as always dude man
I really want this body for my trx4 but I don't know that I'm willing to spend $150 for the body plus the updated fenders
I already my Cyber Orange Bronco and I can't wait to see this one in the stable next my 72 Bronco Ascender.
I would like to have that body to put on my enduro but might just buy the whole thing just to have a traxxas crawler. any guesses on price of that body?
Congrats to the 50k subs 🤘🤙
Definitely ordering one but would of hoped they fixed the steering servo by know
Super excited about this thing!! Definitely will be part of the collection!
The TRX-4 has been on my list for a while. I’m in the market for a trail truck or crawler and I’ve been leaning towards the Redcat Gen 8. This new Bronco looks great but at its price point it’s making me consider the Gmade Buffalo.
Traxxas TRX4 seems like a great platform, but I never really wanted one until now. Finally, a body I really like, with no exposed body posts. I would have to improve the approach angle a bit. This is the current front runner for my next RC.
This is great but this would have been the perfect opportunity for Traxxas to release a IFS TRX-4. Hopefully they make one soon.
Will i buy one, to join the other two TRX4s i already have ? Probably, but definitely in red. Most people on TRX4 Facebook groups agree with me.
I have the 1979 bronco and will be adding this one to my collection as well.
Already have my real one on order....I guess I need the model one as well. The body clip and skeleton look much like the same on my e-revo as well. I was thinking of buying something much more scale then this popped up.
Those light kits already exist for a long time and I bet you can buy ten of them for the same price you buy one from traxxas
The body looks great though
I wish Traxxas put more effort into it and give it IFS like the real thing, not just new shell and and body parts. Than a Raptor body wouldn't boil my blood and made sense. That being said, the body is really nice.
Tempting, very tempting...but those portal axles are a no for me. And I already have a bullnose Bronco body waiting to be painted like my actual bullnose Bronco sitting outside my dads garage.
If I hadn't already built my New Bright Bronco, this would definitely have made it into my stable! Sweet rig! Great video as always!!! 🙂👍
After your review this will probably be my first Traxxas
It’s cool to see Traxxas giving a new crawler release and they did a great job on the body, but honestly I’ve been so over the bronco being shoved down everyone’s throat. But seriously, Still no interior from the factory!
I think it will make it to my stable, it will also receive portal delete and class 1 tires.
Im not sure how I feel about this i have never been a fan of the trx 4 platform but now I think it looks nice.. still not a fan probably won't get one. But cool to look at
Come here!!!!! I’m looking forward to this truck..
Well for $549. It should come with a working winch and lights in my opinion. That price point puts it in the Permian category..
Had a weird problem with my 1979 Ford bronco. Bought it in July 2023 but now that it's December 2023 (in case anyone is looking at this later). Basically I was running it in the rain and I think moisture got in the receiver and transmitter (not water, moisture) and messed with the connection.

Probably just the servo. Maybe it bound up?
@@scalebuildersguild is there a way to get it unbounded? Never heard of the problem 😅 also thank you for helping me
@@Rcguyallday Traxxas support will be able to help you more effectively. Just sounds like the servo needs replacing.
@@scalebuildersguild gotcha. I've got a nice friend who's gifting it to me for a Christmas gift 😅 also I kinda forgot to buy the extended warranty. I'll make sure to contact Traxxas anyway. Hope you have a great new years and keep on building awesome rigs!
Yup, Preordered yesterday in red. I can’t wait
I agree, it does look great! And that clipless body mounting system is awesome!

seems big. real life wheelbase on 4 door bronco is 116”. axial jeep wrangler 4 door is even a big body and still 12.3” wheelbase. the body mount setup looks really nice though. by the way wheelbase on a real 4 door wrangler is 118” so the bronco should definitely be shorter
The 4.75” tires actually look ok on this one since the body is so big. IMO 4.75” looks a little too “monster truck” on the 10iii JL.
If I can come up with the funds, I do want to have a Bronco in my collection.
And like you, I do prefer that orange as they call it, to my it looks yellow.
I called the local shop the morning it was released to get mine on its way.
