Tamiya Ford Bronco Project

After the 2022 fire destroyed my entire collection, I had to decide what to try to replace.  One of the models I lost was a Mercedes G500 on the Tamiya CC-02 chassis, but I also had another version of the G-Wagen in the G65 AMG I put on an MST CFX-W chassis, so it was a bit redundant.  I also had a 2021 Bronco on a Traxxas TSX-4 chassis, but that was also a bit redundant with an older 1979 Bronco I had on the same chassis.  Finally, I had yet a third version in the Tamiya 1973 Bronco body I put on the smaller MST CFX chassis.  When Tamiya released their version of the 2021 Bronco on the CC-02 chassis, I figured this new model could replace three or four older models all in one.  At least that was my justification.  I also much prefer this 2-door version of the Bronco to the longer Traxxas version.

Like all Tamiya bodies, this one looks incredible and it is quite capable paired with the CC-02 chassis as long as the differentials are locked.  I also got some softer Rock Block tires to increase the crawling ability a bit.  I painted it in eye-catching Camel Yellow.
