How to: Mount different body on TRX4 2021 Bronco Clipless body mount system - Tacoma body on TRX4 

I am just getting into this hobby with my wife, we have been to three different club tracks and a few natural trails. I have to tell you, EVERYBODY knows you and has very high respect for your videos and suggestions. great channel, man.

Neat system! Appreciate all of the "homework" that went into figuring it all out.

Some great info Francis thanks for that. I have the Bronco and really like the clipless design, im looking forward to seeing other offerings from Traxxas using this new system. Your video here is just the icing on the cake showing us the other possibilities, good on you.

Wow! Never even thought about this issue. And I came THIS close to buying a 2021 Bronco! I appreciate the postless mounting system, but then again, body posts sure do give a lot more flexibility for various bodies. And seeing as how this hobby is so much about customization... Well, I think I'll just stick to the slight visual disadvantage of body posts and retain the flexibility of having a much larger variety of possibilities.

This was VERY helpful! Thank you! I am planning my first 1/10. I'm going to get the TRX-4 builders kit but really like the looks of the Orange body on the TRAXX model. But also want this clipless system. This video answers all the questions that I had about getting it done except the inner fender to accept the hidden clips. But, I got that covered.

Awesome stuff man. I love these kinds of ideas!

I also have to replace the trx4 body with the New Boronko clip type tomorrow. This is a great review video.😄👍👍👍

This is great! Def been thinking about doing this myself.

WOW!!! Very cool idea and execution Fran!!! I thing I will do this to all my Trx4's and extra bodies I have!!!!🤘🤘🤘

Nice... I did something similar but for my 12.3 wb TRX4 and the Proline Raptor. I installed the bronco fenders on the chassis and then glued custom (3d printed) supports on the body instead of the mount frame. Then simply mounted crossbars to the 3d printed supports. Worked great, looks super clean without having to adjust the wheel base or wheel well cutouts.

Can't wait to try this with my trx sport

Great video, I made the trx4 blazer in to clip less body .😁

Great tip! Game changer!

I have a Dodge RAM Gen 3 from Proline I am doing in a similar way, I have been busy with other projects, but have all the parts.

Thanks for this precious info... I will buy it as I can find it in my country!

I love your videos Francis…. This was a pretty cool one. Now I am winding if you can modify and mount the fender wells to fit on other crawler brand chassis’…. To broaden the selection of combos even more!

Great stuff. Looks fab. I’d like tbe traxxas defender body and think it would fit the bronco 21 if I add body posts ? Thanks- great video 👍

I need this for the Defender. I assumed it can work the same? It's a pain lining it up all the time. I usually scale it out with gear on the top and always have to remove that to access the pins.

Here in Richmond Virginia and you’re well known out here!

Great video! Saved it weeks ago and already purchased a frame, crossbars and fenders (not sure I need them). Albeit the differences in wheelbase, is it possible to fit old Bronco or Blazer bodies in my 2021 Bronco chassis?

Defender fits the bronco ;)

Wow.. this is amazging. def gonna try. Were you able to find the conversion bumper mount ?

That’s dope!!

Awesome!!

Nice work, I hope Traxxas offers their Blazer body w/new mounting system soon. 👍👍👍

trx 4 sport bumpers should work with this body if you flip the piece where the bumper connects to the frame upside down.

Nice!

heres hoping traxxas would release a retrofit kit for the defender body

Can you make a video on how u installed the body mount frame onto the body?

I bought the clipless inner fenders for my TRX-4 Defender, and I plan to get the unpainted Bronco body when it’s released in April. I’d like to try this on a Vanquish Phoenix body though too.

Awesome video. Being a Toyota guy it was tough buying the bronco but the free winch and locking differentials made it an easy choice. I also own the knightrunner. Hopefully it will fit with the winch. Do you have a link for the bumper mount you mentioned.

Do you have any more details about putting that system into a defender chassis ? I'm in the middle of a similar build your doing but I'm worried the magnets I'm gonna use will rip the paint off

How did you mount the bumper to the body?

Can you do a different body for the K10 cheyenne? What body can I use so I don't destroy the stock body?

I like it

Please do one for the trx4 high trail! I can’t find anything to fit ..

awesome! keep using your brain so I don't have to, could this be adopted to axial products?

Did you ever find the traxxas to element bumper conversion part? If so what bumper and conversion kit did you go with??

Do you think 12.6 in wheelbase would fit one of those? I have a modded danchee Ridgerock I’m interested in finding a new body for

like the idea but feel it looks a little off for the chassis. Maybe in person it might apear better.

Any suggestions to which TRX4 body cage would suit a Killerbody LC70?

I can't find any info, what do I need to make my 21 bronco fit the defender body? Thanks!

What about trx4 high trail anything fit that wheel base?

So would the proline 91 4 runner work with the trx4?

Im a Follower . But one Solution that you may be able to solve for the New world is How to Install a Traxxas Trx4 light Kit with the Hobbywing Fusion 2 in 1 since the ESC is involved with the Situation ?? that would help a Ton of people out as the Fusion is IMO the best thing my TRX4 got for an Upgrade by far .

I what do to my trx4 blazer I have the chevy blazer body will it work?

So I watched this again. In summary you screwed the body mount frame into the truck bed and double sided taped everything else? Did you screw the frame into the bumper? Looking at the Bronco everything is screwed into the hard plastic outside pieces and thats why its so stout. This is going to be difficult with regular lexan body.

I want to see this bronco clipless chassis on a Defender please.

Is it possible to add the clipless frame to the defender?

So I understand the spring loaded clips on the Body snap onto the fender wells mounted to the frame. Is that accurate. thanks Perry

Really cool but I'd rather just get the older bronco/blazer trx, seems like way too much work just to make a body fit. Couple holes n pins don't bother me.

does this work for a trx4 blazer

Traxxas left the body post holes so you could mount any body. Just have to order the posts from other trx4 body

HMM, getting ready to do a chassis kit with the pro line ram 1500 body.. wonder if I could make it work.

Don’t forget you can easily change the wheelbase from 12.8” to 12.3”.

That a neat idea! I wonder if it would be possible to attach the mount crossbars alone (without the frame) using the adhesive you mentioned.

Ok…just bought the proline raptor body with the cap which is 12.8. Lets see how this goes.

Can you add the pedestals to this chassis? The ones from the other trx4 models. Thanks

What ESC/Motor are you running in your TRX-4? It's seems rather zippy over the others I've seen. Looks like the QuicRun 1080 ESC but I cant make out the motor.

I wonder how it would look with class 1 tires.

My dream is to find a Toyota Land Cruiser LC 80 body for this rig. Anyone have any leads?

What is the color can you used for the Taco? Wanna sell? I have a 2017 3rd gen and I love it!!! Do you think that body will fit on a REDCAT GEN8 V2?

Very nice 🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵

Thank you. Great option for our 2021 Bronco. I used the same system to install a Sport body on it. I ditched the inner cage, and used the 3M heavy duty double tape (same as gopro uses) to tape the cross tabs straight to the body. Can't get any lower than that. Trimmed the body as needed. It performs great. Check it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-85qzwP9phgM.html

Imagine having this across all your different chassis.... Today I want to run the TRX4 Bronco body on a SCX10.3.... 15 seconds later, it is done.

Tried this but in my opinion is just not worth it. To much work to just get the body to fit and still it looks weird.

I love the new bronco body but the price an the fact the clip is inside the tyre well covered in mud an crap I'd rather have clips on the top

Does this work with the trx4 defender ?
