Tamiya 58687 Ford Escort MK II 1/10 Rally PB MF-01X Heritage Kit  [58687]

Period Rally Character With Modern Chassis

Model makers and rally fans will appreciate Tamiya's Ford Escort Mk.II, a kit that honours the car's competitive history while offering an MF-01X chassis that performs in contemporary hobby use. The result is a balance of classic looks and practical driveability on a range of surfaces.

Drive System and Chassis Highlights

The MF-01X provides a robust monocoque foundation with a rear-mounted motor driving through gears and a propeller shaft to create 4WD traction. The presence of front and rear differentials helps maintain composure in corners and distributes power where it is needed most for steady handling.

Scale Accuracy and Light Fitting Options

The polycarbonate shell is supplied pre-painted in white and features moulded bumpers, mirrors and fog lights for authenticity. You can add polycarbonate light cases and fit 5mm LEDs for functioning lights, while the sticker set lets you recreate the classic blue rally scheme and sponsor decals.

Suspension Setup and Tuning Path

The MF-01X uses independent double wishbone suspension with friction dampers to tame bumps and maintain control. Rally Block tyres give versatile grip and the included Torque Tuned Motor delivers a sensible mix of speed and torque. A wide selection of Hop-Up Option parts is available for drivers who want to tune handling or acceleration.

The Tamiya Ford Escort Mk.II on MF-01X is a reassuringly authentic kit that also caters to practical driving needs, making it suitable for both display and club level running.
