Escort Heritage Revived: Tamiya 58691 Ford Escort TT-02

The Tamiya 58691 Ford Escort TT-02 brings a street-style Escort to the model scene, echoing the design cues of its rally forebears while sitting on a chassis built for practical on-road use. It blends authentic appearance with a platform that handles setup changes well.

TT-02 Chassis: Simple, Tuneable and Predictable

This model uses the TT-02 shaft-driven 4WD chassis, prized for its predictable handling and serviceability. The longitudinal layout spaces the battery and motor apart to help balance, and the chassis accepts multiple wheelbase and ride height settings. With ten gear ratio choices you can configure the car for brisk acceleration or higher top speed.

Period-Correct Shell and Wheelset

The Escort body is moulded in 1.0mm polycarbonate for strength without excess mass. White ABS dish wheels and treaded tyres are included to match the street theme, and the kit contains stickers and window masks so you can paint a faithful finish.

Customisation Paths and Electronics

There is a wide range of Hop-Up Options available to refine suspension, steering and durability. The supplied new ESC supports sensored brushless motors of around 21.5 turns and higher as well as compatible Tamiya brushed motors at 25 turns and above, enabling flexible electronics choices.
