Reminds me of the TFL BRONCO

Some the best looking stock rtr wheels I’ve seen in a very long time

I really hope they release it as a kit! As the body and all the parts costs a small fortune.

Nice new rtr from Axial. And without portals 👍

I love the ride height. There is plenty of clearance for taking it out on the trails and flexing the drive train to the max. I love it and the engine. Being a 5.0 modular gives it the perfect restomod persona. This is a cool ass truck.

I mounted the shocks to the link mount with some longer screws instead of the shock mount on the axles, it lowers the truck quite nicely without having to change the shocks.

While I am not a Ford fan, I am happy to see anything that isn't Jeep or Toyota.

No Actually.. Thanks God it's not another Jeep.. lmao Well I love this rig and I would love to have one. The straight axles are AWESOME. Love them WAY better than the portals. THAT interior looks amazing as well. Now the Price? THAT I don't like so much. Nice overview Matt

For what you get it's not that much on price honestly. The trx4 retails at 499.99. The parts you would swap to upgrade the trx4 would put the price over the 10.3

Leave the 100 mm shocks but remove the springs to get max droop. You might like it.

It seems like the spring collar is not at the highest position possible on the front shocks. Did you try to lower it as much as possible from there? I did that on my JL to make it lower. Maxed the front, and adjusted the rear to be level (if maxed the rear it had saggy butt syndrome with a battery in)

Looks like Axial got the dremel out. Looks great.

these type of crawlers definitely need a figure in them

And he said let it come with straight axles, and it did. Hallelujah, amen.

Wow it looks sharp!!! Love the detail! Comparing it to the ‘66, ‘69, ‘72, ‘73, ‘74, ‘77, and ‘77 occupying space in my driveway, I’d say it’s a little too square in most places. it’s darn close though! It’s certainly a hodgepodge of several years, but hey, what bronco isn’t??? And I’m soooo glad they made a Coyote-style engine cover instead of just leaving the LS in! Also, glad it covers the servo as well. The running footage looks amazing!! Can’t wait for the running video! Keep up the good work!!!

Yay for servo parts, too!

I also like a straight axle. They did a good job on that body with all the extra inj. molded parts.

Well after this review, and a few others, I bought one of these as my first 1/10th scale crawler and it is a lot of fun, even in my backyard. I need to get it to some trails or scale courses to have some fun on! I'm building a 1:1 '68 Bronco as well so the body definitely helped sell it. But the straight axles, offset front diff, and wheels helped sell it too! I'm going to have to paint a body up to match my full scale one as well. Keep up the great work Matt!

That's great! Glad you're having fun with it and welcome to 1/10th scale!

After seeing this I had to have one of these. My other crawler is a 2021 Bronco TRX4 so this makes a cool compliment to that. I have to say that out of the box this truck was not a good performer. As everyone said, the COG is way too high and with the heavy body this crawled just OK and was pretty unstable when just running around. I made the well-known mod to move the lower shock mount down to the link mount and that helped. Then I swapped the springs with the Axial 13mm x 70 'medium' green springs (AXI233008). This really cleaned up the handling and crawling. Seems like they did not compensate for the heavier body when they spec'd the kit with the straight axles. Finally I upgraded to Proline BFG KM3 Predator tires and kept the cool slot mag stock wheels. They absolutely nailed the body with incredible detail and realism, but they missed on the chassis tuning and tire choice. Now this goes as well as it looks!

Your shirt totally caught me off guard! 😂

Blame Ford for approving the license on this monstrosity. Axial has to present the body for final approval. Some young idiot at Ford was like “oh something old, who cares get me more tide pods.”

This looks really good. Do you think they are gonna make a kit version? or at least sell the body separately?

You could build a scale version of big Oly. Just make door skins and a wing. Also make it two wheel drive to match the original and to make Joshes head explode.

The wheels are very nice 👌 and the tires look more capable than the Nitro trail grapplers.

I feel like the seat backs are a hair to small.

Agree 90mm shocks & a slightly lowered stance would help & look better.

nice rig.

Hoping it comes in kit form later on

This truck is awesome. The engine is a coyote engine! I would really like a running video.

I'm really really really considering this... I love my enduro and I usually go for budget builds (never owned any other rtr and trx4 is out of my league) but this... this is tempting. The only reason I hesitate is the sheer size of it. Hmmmm...
