The chrome finish is durable and adds authentic shine to your model, making it stand out on display or during trail runs.

- Six Grille Retainers — These specialist fasteners secure the grille firmly to the body, ensuring it stays in place during aggressive trail driving, high-speed runs, or display. The engineering behind these retainers means your grille won't rattle, shift, or come loose no matter how rough the terrain.
- Quality Hardware Kit — The package includes six 2.6x8 mm brass ball-cup screws (BCS) and two 2.5x6 mm BCS fasteners, all precisely sized for secure assembly. These aren't generic fasteners—they're Traxxas-specification parts engineered to work perfectly with your Bronco body.
- Fits TRX-4 Bronco Body — This set is engineered specifically for the TRX-4 1979 Ford Bronco body (Traxxas part #8010), ensuring perfect fitment, alignment, and functionality. No modifications, drilling, or workarounds needed—everything fits exactly as designed by Traxxas engineers.
Technical Performance
This is a body accessory kit designed with the precision engineering Traxxas is famous for throughout the RC car UK market. The chrome grille is constructed from durable materials capable of withstanding the demands of serious scale crawling, whether you're navigating rocky terrain, water crossings, or display-case photography sessions. The headlight housings are injection-moulded from high-impact polymers that resist cracking, fading, and UV damage, ensuring your Bronco looks as impressive next year as it does today. The clear lenses are optically engineered to diffuse light evenly, creating realistic headlight effects when equipped with optional LED lighting upgrades (sold separately). Each component has been tested to Traxxas's rigorous quality standards, meaning durability and longevity are built in from the factory. The brass ball-cup screws provide secure fastening without stripping, and their metric sizing (2.6x8 mm and 2.5x6 mm) means they're compatible with Traxxas's entire TRX-4 ecosystem. Assembly takes approximately 15-20 minutes with basic tools, making this upgrade accessible to builders of all skill levels.
