2021 Traxxas TRX-4 Ford Bronco Expedition RC Model Car. Licensed clipless body with detailed design and clear windows. Top of the line TRX-4 chassis, gantry axles, remote controlled 2 speed transmission and remote controlled differential locks.
The American legend is back in a new modern coat. After 25 years, the Ford Bronco returned as the brand's most powerful off-road model and one of the most sought-after American SUVs. Traxxas has brought the spirit of this icon into its new RC expedition special. A completely new licensed Ford Bronco 2021 body is installed on the proven TRX-4 chassis. The body is newly clipless.
The graceful curves of the detailed bodywork with clear windows, folding mirrors, wipers, handles and a spare wheel are no longer interrupted by posts with staples. The body is also prepared for the installation of original Pro Scale lighting (sold separately), with all the features that we can see on real cars (functional turn signals, brake lights, reverse, variable headlight intensity, tail lights).
The TRX-4 chassis has also received an improvement, which is equipped with new fenders, into which the beaks of the body snap. Removing and fitting the body to replace the battery is now a piece of cake. If the unsurpassed features of the TRX-4 chassis with portal axles, remote-controlled differential locks and 2-speed transmission are not enough for you in the field, you can equip the model with a functional Traxxas winch (sold separately). The 2021 Ford Bronco is the first model to feature a new bumper fully prepared for winch mounting. LED bar can be newly installed in the front bumper (sold separately)

TRX-4 chassis
The TRX-4 chassis is built from two steel profiles that ensure sufficient rigidity of the chassis. Thanks to the proven location of the engine in the front part, sufficient load on the front wheels is ensured. The battery is located in the axis of the chassis, so the model is precisely balanced and does not tilt while driving. The chassis is thought out down to the smallest detail, including cable routing and mounting holes for optional accessories.
Axles with axle transmission
The TRX-4 chassis uses gantry axles with an axle gearbox. The axle gearbox increases the ground clearance, reduces stress on the differentials, transmission, cardan shafts and further reduces the torsional force - the model tilts less Front turning with a steering angle of up to 45 ° is ensured by the Traxxas 2075X servo with metal gears. Thanks to the new chassis, the model achieved a great approach angle.
2-speed gearbox
The model is equipped with a 2-speed gearbox. Gear change is controlled by the red rocker switch on the transmitter. This solution makes the TRX-4 chassis a very versatile model that can drive slowly or quickly depending on what you need.
Lockable differentials
The differential locks are independently controlled by 2 servos using bowden cables leading to the differentials. The shutters are controlled by a 3-position switch on the transmitter and provide the following combinations:
- Both differentials are open.
- Only the front differential is locked.
- Both differentials are closed.
GTS oil dampers
4 oil-filled GTS shock absorbers provide smooth damping and perfect driving characteristics. The aluminum bodies of the shock absorbers are equipped with a nut for adjusting the preload of the springs. Maximum tightness of the shock absorber around the piston rod is ensured by special sealing X-rings.
Servo steering
The model is controlled by a Traxxas 2075X digital servo with a thrust of 9 kg/cm. The servo is equipped with two ball bearings on the milled shaft and metal gears for maximum durability. Of course, the waterproof construction.
Gearbox and differential servos
The model is equipped with a total of 3 waterproof micro servos 2065. 2 servos independently control the front and rear differential locks. 3. the servo then ensures the shifting of the two-stage gearbox.
Titan 21T engine
The model is powered by a Titan 21T 550 DC motor. The motor provides smooth operation from low revs. For better cooling, a fan is integrated in the motor, blowing air to the rotor.
DC regulator
The heart of the Traxxas model is the XL-5 HV DC electronic controller. The regulator is designed for powering a 2-cell or 3-cell LiPo battery. The model can also be powered by 6-7 cell NiMH batteries. Simple selection of driving modes and other settings using the EZ-SET button. LED status indication of the controller. LVD protection against undercharging of the LiPo battery. Thermal protection, waterproof construction. The Traxxas XL-5 HV controller supports 5 driving modes:
- Sport: Drive forward, brake and reverse.
- Race: Drive forward and brake. Reverse is not available.
- Training: Forward driving limited to 50% power, braking 100% and reverse limited to 50%. This mode is suitable for children.
- Trail: Drive forward, brake, reverse. Handling near neutral is very subtle.
- Crawl: Drive forward, brake in neutral and straight back.
Traxxas TQi 4 Channel RC Kit with Bluetooth
In addition to precise and reliable control, the 4-channel transmitter is also equipped with a slot for placing a Bluetooth module (sold separately). The Bluetooth module will allow you to connect the RC model with the clear graphic application Traxxas Link, which you can install on your smartphone for free. The Traxxas Link app for Apple devices is available for free on the App Store , the app for Google Android devices is free on Google Play .
The Traxxas Link App is a powerful application that gives you complete control over the operation and tuning of your Traxxas RC model with stunning visualization and absolute precision of settings. Traxxas Link can display telemetry data in real time. You thus have an overview of, for example, speed, revolutions, temperature, battery voltage and the tilt of the model. You can share settings of RC models, you can create any number of profiles for a specific track or user.
Telemetry options vary by model. It may be necessary to install telemetry sensors to obtain telemetry data. Compatible telemetry parts with this model can be found in the Spare parts and related products section.
Telemetry - model tilt
Using the wireless Bluetooth module and the Traxxas link app, it is possible to monitor the tilt of the model on your phone. In order to display other telemetry data (battery voltage, revolutions, temperature), installation of telemetry sensors is necessary.
Traxxas TQi receiver
The Traxxas TQi TSM 5-Channel RC Receiver with Telemetry for Traxxas TQi Transmitters features simple operation and push-button pairing. LED status indication. 3-axis MEMS sensors are integrated in the receiver for learning the position of the receiver. The receiver is also equipped with two connectors for connection of telemetry sensors RPM (revolutions) and V/T (voltage/temperature). In addition, a telemetry expansion module can be connected to the 4-pin connector, into which you can connect up to 6 additional telemetry sensors, including a very accurate GPS speed sensor.
