Traxxas TRX-4 Ford Bronco - Driver Figure, clear Windows and matte Roof!

[@cosmicOrigin]

I used a thin coat of PS paint then topped off the roof with Truck Bed paint. This gives it the texture of the old fibreglass canopies.. Great Videos as usual.. thanks for posting.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for your good feedback! This method with the truck bed paint is a good idea! Sure it looks great! 👍😊

[@scottwalsh6999]

That flat clear on the body made a big difference - So much better!

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you Scott! 😊

[@visuvid]

Very impressive modification. Car get so much more character from those clear back windows. I like

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for your nice feedback and like! 🙏

[@brianwood9849]

You are very talented with the RC Hobby! People can really learn from you......

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you so much Brian! I appreciate your nice words! 👍😊😊

[@micahjared8082]

From the Mtns of New York. Cheers Brother! Great videos. I grew up in the 80's, like you. RC has come soooo farrrr!!! Just getting back into it now and I appreciate you taking the time to focus on this Traxxas Model. Im looking to get one. Here in America I hate FORD 😃 But I honestly think the Ford body looks better than all the others.... Including the Chevy. Anyhow your end result on the back of the Bronco from the 70's is spot on. Magnificent.

[@33fastcar]

It's good to know I'm not the only person that cleans and keeps tires looking new with Armor All. I clean my rc after each run. I just picked up the Bronco last week. I'm loving it so far. I put a spare tire on. Front push bar. I got the push bar so I could add KC lights.
Got the full light kit too. Got all the metal badges to put on. Now if I could find time to go out & do some 4x4 live action!

[@Matteomeier]

Thats great! Have fun! 👍😊

[@TheGilounet]

Nice job Matteo, as usual! Hope to received mine very soon!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Have fun with yours! (I'm sure you'll have!) 😊👍

[@Ryansgarage1]

I love how you used the clear matte on the rear roof! I may have to borrow that idea. Beautifully done Matteo!!!

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks Ryan! Glad you like it! 👍

Yes, it's so much fun to drive! Thanks for your nice feedback! 👍

[@RCShowdown]

Das Cockpit und das Matte Dach werten das Fahrzeug definitiv noch einmal auf! Super Arbeit! 😍👍👍 Man könnte tatsächlich meinen, das gesamte Dach sei ein Anbauteil!

[@Matteomeier]

Vielen Dank Robert! Das Fahrzeug hat mir eigentlich schon aus der Box sehr gut gefallen, aber es gab da einfach so Kleinigkeiten die verbessert werden mussten...😊

[@rodcognito002]

Fabulous Job. Best looking one yet. Driver and seats perfect.

[@1peanut]

Matteo, that is awesome... I just order this Bronco and am excited.

[@Matteomeier]

Super! I'm sure you'll love it! Thanks for your feedback! 👍

[@pinkze]

pinkze he say " Bronco the Matteo way- what more could you ask for ! Look forward to your Bronco first adventure. I would never of thought those rear windows would snap out that easy- good idea "

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you pinkze! I love my Bronco, Traxxas does a very good job, as you know from yours! 👍

[@pinkze]

Matteo's RC Movies pinkze he say " yeah great quality. I love the cruise control and I rather like the diff lockers- good to have that choice "

[@jordimm1]

Incredible work, very good video like all you do, congratulations

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! 🙏

[@trymyluck8]

So cool!!! Neat job man!! Cant wait for the running video 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you! 😊

[@RcBasherBoi]

Wow, that's truly a great modification.👍

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you! 🙏

[@aviano72]

That is so awesome. I like how the driver has a 2days beard, and of course it has to be a cowboy figure for this body :) Thanks for the tips on the flat clear use. I hope you will also show us your beautiful painted silver aluminium Defender.

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks for your nice feedback! I'm working now on a running video with the new Defender! 😊

[@andyb9994]

Great looking Bronco!!!!

[@Nordmann61]

Thank you for a very nice how to bulid video as always!
A brilliant upgrade of the Bronco, from very nice for a lexan body to a De Luxe realistic scale trail truck. The rugged tough looking Bronco has a driver to match in the driver with a cowboy hat. The tinted clear windows in the back and rear look original, very nicely done, and the matte finish on the roof make it look like a original vinyl roof.
This will be copied by many Traxxas Bronco owners I am sure. And now with clear windows in the back, the interior in the back can have supplies like suitcases and boxes and crates, for a long weekend fishing trip, and maybe even a rifle rack, as a Bronco for the rancher. Many ways to style your Bronco with the clear windows.
I look very much forward for a drive video, it will look like the real thing, and a night drive video in the evening with lights? It will be spectacular as all you drive videos, Matteo!
Cheers.

[@Matteomeier]

Thank you so much Nordmann for your splendid comment! 🙏 I really appreciate your good words! Yes, but first I have to install lights! 👍

[@willi19671]

Awesome video. I would love to do this to my TRX4 Bronco but I am too scared to mess up the body. In fact, I drove it once with that body on and am now replacing it. It is just too beautiful.

[@Matteomeier]

It's not a big risk, if you work slowly and concentrate. 👍👍😊

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks so much Rob! I'm still Tamiya fan, but this thing is really awesome. Traxxas did a superb job.

[@1darnright19]

Love this build! I got the pecan 1981 version of this body by proline. I’m going to get it colored to look like my actual Bronco.

[@1darnright19]

Lol Pecan is typo. I meant lexan lol

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! Broncos are nice! Do you have a full size Bronco?

[@1darnright19]

Yes. It’s a square body style from the early 1980’s. It needs some fixing up though.

[@Matteomeier]

Cool! Congrats man! 👍

[@tinokung7554]

Du hast absolut recht, ich habs auch ein wenig vergessen. Ich sende dir eine Email :D, danke für die Erinnerung. Apropo Tamiya Farben. Diese sind nicht mehr in die Schweiz lieferbar!? Hast du das mitbekommen? Habe mich ein wenig auf die suche gemacht und bin auf Revell gestossen, haben noch tolle grau töne. Zudem haben sie diese Armee Farben (Sand, oker, nato-oliv, grau usw.) die mir persönlich sehr gut gefallen (nicht falsch verstehen :P). Und sie haben auch einen Klarlack Matt. Die Dosen sind bsp. bei Brack erhältlich:
www.revell.de/produkte/farben-kleber-co/spray-color.html

[@Matteomeier]

Ja, leider habe das schon sehr früh mitbekommen, habe mein Privatlager noch aufgefüllt! 😂
Aber es ist gut das es auch Alternativen gibt. Die Händler wie z.B. Wemu haben ja auch schon Alternativen präsentiert auch für Lexan.
Freu mich von dir zu hören!

Matteo's RC Movies looks like Traxxas did good on the detail. Cool looking chassie

[@simonz28]

looks a lot better matteo , if i may be so bold to make one suggestion though , cut out the drivers and passenger side windows , and it will look even better , cant wait to see your driving video , your vids are always awesome

[@Matteomeier]

Thanks! I also thought about this. Maybe half cut and it looks like an half opened window! 👍
