Key Features

• Stainless Steel Construction — The use of genuine stainless steel means these sliders offer superior corrosion resistance and durability compared to painted or powder-coated alternatives, ensuring they maintain their appearance through countless trail sessions and weather exposure without rusting or degrading.
• Hand-Welded Build Quality — Rather than using mass-produced pressed components, RC4WD has invested in hand-welded construction, which creates a stronger, more refined appearance that demonstrates genuine craftsmanship and provides enhanced durability for long-term use on challenging terrain.
• Laser-Etched Detailing — The precision laser etching adds authentic scale detail and visual interest to the sliders, creating depth and character that cannot be achieved with simple painting or decals, elevating the overall appearance of your scale build.
• Silver Anodised Finish — The protective anodised coating provides both aesthetic appeal and functional protection against oxidation and wear, maintaining the polished silver appearance through regular use in varying weather conditions across the UK and beyond.
• Scale Protection — These sliders provide genuine side protection for your TRX-4 chassis and body during trail runs, protecting against rocks, obstacles and side impacts whilst maintaining the authentic appearance of a full-size vehicle's running boards.
• Complete Installation Hardware Included — The package includes eight M1 x 3mm cross head cap screws in black and eight M1 regular nuts in silver, providing all fastening hardware needed for secure installation without requiring additional purchases.
• Perfect Bronco Styling — Specifically designed to complement the classic 1979 Bronco Ranger XLT aesthetic, these sliders enhance the period-correct appearance of your TRX-4, making it instantly recognisable as a premium scale trail build rather than a stock crawler.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD Ranch Side Step Sliders represent a masterclass in precision engineering and material selection. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, these components exhibit exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, contributing just 4.16 ounces (118 grams) to your overall TRX-4 build whilst providing robust side protection. The hand-welded construction process ensures structural integrity at every joint, eliminating weak points that can develop in stamped or cast components. The laser-etched detailing is applied with precision equipment, creating consistent, crisp lines that catch the light and enhance the three-dimensional appearance of the sliders. The silver anodised finish is applied through an electrochemical process that creates an oxide layer bonded to the base metal, providing superior durability compared to painted finishes. At 155mm in length and 55.5mm in width, the sliders are proportionally scaled to the TRX-4 chassis dimensions (which use a 1/10 scale ratio), ensuring they appear authentically sized when viewed alongside the vehicle. The construction quality is immediately evident upon handling, with smooth welds, perfectly aligned edges and a professional finish throughout. These are premium aftermarket components designed to withstand the demands of serious RC trail running, whether on rocky terrain, through water crossings or during extended off-road adventures. The engineering focus on both aesthetics and function makes these sliders equally suitable for display-quality builds and actively-used crawlers.

• Do these sliders provide actual protection or are they purely cosmetic? — While these sliders are primarily designed to enhance the authentic appearance of your TRX-4 '79 Bronco, the stainless steel construction does provide genuine side protection against impacts with rocks, obstacles and terrain features during trail running, helping to prevent damage to your chassis and body panels.
• What makes RC4WD sliders different from other aftermarket options? — RC4WD's Ranch Side Step Sliders distinguish themselves through hand-welded construction (versus mass-produced stamped parts), genuine stainless steel throughout, precision laser-etched detailing, and a professional silver anodised finish.
