Lock Your Diffs and Get Ready for a Wild Adventure!
It doesn’t matter if you’re cutting a trail through the woods or hammering a scale crawling course, the Traxxas TRX-4 Ford Bronco tackles the elements just like the real thing. You may be unfamiliar with terms like breakover angle and approach angle, but they are key elements of the TRX-4 Bronco’s off-road prowess. We sent our TRX-4 Bronco to a technical crawling course to demonstrate these features--and to have a lot of fun! Read on for a brief course in RC Climbing 101 and check out the video to see these features in action.
TRX-4 Crawling Elements: 101

Portal axles, like those pioneered in the TRX-4, lift the differentials and axles under the chassis so the truck won’t high-center itself on large obstacles. The Bronco’s short wheelbase allows it to crest sharp inclines without dragging its chassis or getting caught on the rocks. Short front and rear overhangs allow the Bronco to scale steep inclines without running its bumper into the ground. Finally, a sharp turning radius helps the TRX-4 negotiate narrow trails and good trail brakes keep the truck under control when descending steep slopes. For even more extreme all-terrain capability, check out our Maximum Mud Bronco build at the link below.
