1/10 SCX10 III Early Ford Bronco 4X4 RTR, Turquoise Blue

With one of the most detailed ^Axial® models ever, the officially licensed Early Ford Bronco brings new features to the ^SCX10™ III platform - creating the ideal RTR for new scalers, longtime rock crawling enthusiasts and Ford lovers everywhere.

Introduction

As Ford Motor Company's first SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle), the Bronco is an icon in off-road history. In 1965, race car builder Bill Stoppe assembled a team of first-generation Broncos for long-distance off-road competition. They took part in the Mint 400, Baja 500 and the Mexican 1000 (later renamed the Baja 1000).

Overview

In developing the officially licensed SCX10™ III Early Ford Bronco 4WD, Axial® engineers redefined the limits of ready-to-run scale crawler features, functions and performance. All of the key components that made the SCX10™ III platform so successful have been carried over, and new features never before found in an Axial® RTR, or any other RC vehicle for that matter, have been added. Without a doubt, this model is one of the most detailed models Axial® has ever produced and is the perfect choice for new scalers, enthusiasts, and enthusiasts alike.

perfect choice for new scalers, longtime rock crawler enthusiasts and all experience levels in between.
The Bronco shines inside and out with unparalleled detail and will impress even die-hard Ford fans. The polycarbonate body features an injection molded roll cage, functional doors with tubular frames and hidden body mounts to keep the scale look intact. Fender flares and rock sliders that match its era provide added protection from damage, and other scale details include an air scoop on the hood, license plates, windshield wipers and LED headlights and taillights. However, many scale features are fully functional, such as the front and rear plate bumpers, which are fitted with the optimum angle for unhindered climbing and crawling.

The details inside are no less impressive. Inside you'll find injection-molded seats, dashboard, shifter and steering wheel with steering column, and under the hood you'll find a replica of the 5.0L V8 engine and the transmission and transfer case housings that house the powerful Axial® 35T engine. This not only contributes to the scale look, it also protects the engine.

The realistic appearance is carried through to the ground! 3-piece retro-style beadlock rims perfectly complement the scale body of the Early Ford Bronco and allow the tires to be mounted or replaced easily and without the use of glue. Licensed 1.9 replicas of Falken Wildpeak M/T tires provide solid grip for conquering rocks and trails. The roll cage features mounting points for additional lights and a full-size spare tire.

Underneath the awesome looks, the proven SCX10™ III chassis delivers the superior crawler performance Axial® drivers have come to expect. For a lower center of gravity and even more realistic scale looks, the Early Ford Bronco AR45 uses rigid axles front and rear. The triangulated suspension geometry is tuned to work with the axles to reduce torque twist and further enhance the scale look. Adjustable oil pressure shock absorbers help the driver find the best damping rate and offer a larger bore with more fluid volume for the best performance.

The transmission comes from the factory with a third channel for a 'front dig' function to lock the rear axle from the transmitter for even tighter cornering. Alternatively, you can also switch the transmission between high and low ratios. To do this, simply connect the built-in Micro Dig servo to the linkage of the gearbox. To be able to use both the "Front Dig" and the two-speed gearbox function, you only need one additional servo and a transmitter with at least four channels (such as the Spektrum™ DX5).

The fully pre-assembled RTR vehicle features a Spektrum™ DX3™ radio with exclusive DSMR® technology for superior range, response and interference-free operation. The transmitter is compatible with the Smart telemetry potential of the built-in Spektrum Firma™ Smart 40A ESC/receiver unit, and when using a Spektrum Smart LiPo pack, you'll always be able to see your battery's charge level on the transmitter, while the Bronco's waterproof electronics keep you safe in all weather and trail conditions.

With its unstoppable Axial® technology and iconic Ford styling, the SCX10™ III Early Ford Bronco 4WD RTR Crawler is predestined for adventures in the mountains and rough terrain. Simply insert the appropriate battery of your choice and you're ready to go!




EARLY FORD BRONCO POLYCARBONATE BODY
There are many scale details in the officially licensed Bronco body that will make the hearts of Ford fans beat faster. These include a separately mounted windshield and functional tubular frame doors. The body mounts are concealed to maintain the "ultra-scale" look. Optional body mounts are provided for use with other bodies.

INJECTION MOLDED ROLL CAGE
The realistic injection-molded roll cage provides mounting points for a functional spare tire and additional lighting (AXIC1152, Axial® Universal Light Bar Set, sold separately).

WHEEL ARCHES AND UNDERBODY PANELS
The wheel arches and underbody panels of the body conceal internal components that are normally visible from the side of the chassis. They also help protect the interior and contain mounting points for rock lights (AXI13001, Axial® SCX10™ III Multi-Color LED Rock Lights With Controller, sold separately).

PROTECTION FROM STONE DAMAGE AND SCRATCHES
Year-matched fender flares and rock sliders protect the Bronco body from damage and scratches caused by rock and stone contact.

EXTERNAL DETAILS
Numerous details contribute to the authentic look of the Early Ford Bronco body. The air scoop on the hood, license plates, headlights, tail lights and windscreen wipers are all included.

OPEN INTERIOR WITH SCALE DETAILS
The open interior is packed with even more scale details. Injection-molded seats, dashboard, steering wheel with steering column, gearshift and foot pedals are included as standard.

ENGINE DETAIL
The powerful Axial® 35T electric motor is concealed beneath the 5.0-liter V8 engine, transmission housing and transfer case for a more scale look and good protection.

FRONT DIG TRANSMISSION & TWO-SPEED OPTION
The transmission comes from the factory with a third channel for a "Front Dig" function to lock the rear axle from the transmitter. The lock acts like an anchor, enabling even tighter radii and therefore significantly greater maneuverability off-road. Alternatively, you can also switch the transmission between high and low ratios. To do this, simply attach the built-in Micro Dig servo to the linkage of the gearbox. To be able to use both the Front Dig and the two-speed gearbox function, you simply need another servo and a transmitter with at least four channels (such as the Spektrum™ DX5).

SPEKTRUM™ DX3™ 2.4GHz DSMR® SENDER
The included Spektrum DX3 transmitter features exclusive DSMR® technology for superior range, response and interference-free operation and is compatible with the Smart Telemetry potential of the built-in Spektrum Firma™ Smart 40A ESC/receiver unit.

SPEKTRUM™ COMPANY™ SMART 40A ESC/RECEIVER UNIT
When using a Spektrum Smart LiPo battery, you can always keep an eye on the battery capacity on the transmitter's voltage display with the included Smart-capable transmitter and built-in ESC/receiver unit!

SPEKTRUM™ 15KG METAL GEAR SERVO
The high-torque servo with metal gearbox and aluminum servo horn is waterproof for reliable riding in any weather and on any trail.

RIGID AXLES WITH OFFSET FRONT DIFFERENTIAL
For true scale looks and a lower center of gravity, the Early Ford Bronco AR45 uses rigid axles front and rear. An optional overdrive transmission is available separately (AXI332001 6-Bolt 27 8 Overdrive Gear Set).

TRIANGULATED SUSPENSION GEOMETRY
The suspension geometry is tuned to work with theAR45 rigid axles to reduce torque twist, further enhancing the scale look. A 3-link with Panhard rod is also fitted at the front.

adjustable aluminum oil pressure shock absorbers with coil over springs
The oil pressure shock absorbers have hard anodized housings with threads and an emulsion-style cap with bleed screw for easy conversion and maintenance. The shocks are fine tunable to find the best damping rate for your application and the larger bore allows for more fluid volume for better performance.

REVISED BATTERY MOUNT
The battery compartment on the SCX10™ III Early Ford Bronco can accommodate standard LiPos or full size NiMH packs.

ADJUSTABLE WHEELBASE
The SCX10™ III chassis has an adjustable wheelbase to allow drivers to customize the length to fit a variety of aftermarket bodies (11.4" (290mm), 12.0" (305mm), 12.3" (312mm)).

3-PIECE RETRO BEADLOCK WHEELS
The Early Ford Bronco is supplied with 3-piece beadlock wheels. These rims are scale replicas of the "Slot Mag" rims from its era. Not only do they complete the scale body, but they also allow for easy tire installation, removal and replacement without the use of glue. Detailed "knock-off" style bolt-on hubcaps are also included.

LICENSED 1.9 TIRES
Licensed 1.9 replicas of Falken Wildpeak M/T tires provide solid grip for conquering rocks and trails. Axial® also includes a full-size spare tire with the Bronco.

off-road bumpers
The off-road bumpers are designed with an optimal contact angle for climbing and crawling over rocks and rough terrain. The front bumper also includes a mounting hole for a winch fairlead and mounting points for lights from the accessories. Front and rear scale license plates further emphasize the scale look.

WATERPROOF ELECTRONICS
The SCX10™ III Early Ford Bronco is ready to go in any weather and on any trail thanks to waterproof Spektrum™ electronics.
