Rally cars are always an exciting subject, accomplished both on asphalt and flat dirt, and Tamiya is delighted to announce the addition of another to our R/C stable: the Ford Escort Mk.II Rally, depicting a car which was RAC Rally champion from 1975-1979. Fittingly, it is based upon the MF 01X chassis, which has dedicated rally parts and is at home on a range of surfaces.
This is a 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 414mm, wheelbase: 239mm (L).
The classic Escort Mk.II form is breathtakingly recreated in polycarbonate, and pre-painted in White. Separately moulded plastic components are included to recreate bumper, side mirrors and fog lamps.
Polycarbonate front and rear light cases are compatible with separately sold 5mm LEDs.
Stickers are included to recreate blue livery sections, sponsor logos and more.
The MF-01X is at home on-road or on flat dirt, thanks to 4-wheel double wishbone suspension.
Power from the rear mounted motor is transmitted by gear differential to the rear wheels, and propeller shaft to the front. Convert to S and M wheelbases with separately sold propeller shafts.
A host of Hop-Up Option parts are available to tune the MF-01X chassis.

Drive an Icon! The iconic Escort was manufactured between 1968 and 2004 by Ford Europe.

The Mk.II was produced from 1975 to 1980, a front-engine, rear-wheel drive car with a classic boxy body.

The RS1800 was fitted with a high performance DOHC 4-cylinder engine and became the base for a successful works team rally car that secured Manufacturers' and Drivers' championships in 1979.

Now, this rally legend is recreated in an R/C model assembly kit, with a polycarbonate body accurately capturing the ageless style.

Based upon the versatile MF-01X chassis, it will provide plenty of fun on both road and dirt surfaces.
