Technical Performance
The RC4WD Ranch Grille Guard represents the pinnacle of scale RC accessory engineering, combining premium materials with meticulous manufacturing processes. The billet aluminium construction undergoes precision CNC machining to create components with exact specifications, whilst the black anodised finish provides a professional appearance and functional corrosion protection. The guard's dimensions of 104mm length, 18mm width, and 72mm height are carefully calculated to provide optimal protection for the TRX-4 2021 Ford Bronco's front end without affecting approach angles during extreme crawling manoeuvres. The integrated LED light bar operates across a 5.0–7.2V voltage range, making it compatible with standard 2S LiPo battery systems commonly used in RC crawlers. The total assembly weighs just 50 grams, contributing negligible additional mass to your RC model, which means no sacrifice in performance or battery runtime. The durable nylon fixed components work in conjunction with the aluminium guard to absorb impacts and vibration whilst maintaining structural integrity through repeated trail sessions. Installation utilises self-tapping screws and precision cap screws, ensuring a secure fit that won't loosen during aggressive trail runs or technical rock crawling scenarios.
