TFL Hobby Bronco C1508 1/10 2.4G 4WD 45T Climbing RC Car No Coating Without Motor 540
A part of the review has been auto-translated.
I have not finished it yet. I spent a lot of time painting. The headlight parts were polished and the surface was rough. Overall component finish and assembly are excellent and satisfactory.
I had gazed at this car longingly for months, wondering why it was so expensive. Well, I bought it and I don't regret a single penny. The shipping was about 3 weeks - which was agonising. The parcel arrived slightly damaged, but the contents were intact on initial inspection. However, when it came to building, I found a few chips where the body was attached to the steel frame with loosely attached bolts - a perfectionist may have taken issue with the damage to the fibreglass, but I was happy enough to overlook the blemishes. This was my first proper paintjob on a model and I made a few basic errors, but the quality of the fibreglass ensured all was not lost and a respray proved successful. I chose a close paint match to the stereotypical blue used in many of the promo shots and I'm delighted with the end result. The build was painless until I discovered one tiny bag of bespoke hardware was missing - after an hour of headscratching, I found similar specced bolts from one of my quadcopter builds - so it's not 100% perfect, but only I know. I have a 45T motor with a 60a ESC, soon upgrading both these to improved waterproof variants. Many people have expressed concern about the price - if you're into the hobby, you will already be familiar with the giants in the industry, like Axial - this TFL Bronco is like a tricked-out Axial - each piece is quality - you can almost sense the love that went into each component. I will never sell this Bronco, but I will repaint it, maybe several times. Buy with confidence those who are teetering on the brink - this Bronco is a work of art. An unboxing of sorts is listed in the videos below. and here is a recent video - enjoy! https://youtu.be/x3hDa-DDaUE
