Ford Escort WRC 1/10 Touring Kit Tamiya 58335 for TT-01 Chassis  [58335]

Overview of the Tamiya 58335 Escort WRC reissue on TT-01

Heritage and context

The 58335 edition brings a late-period Ford Escort WRC livery back to market and pairs it with Tamiya's TT-01 touring car platform. The re-release preserves the Escort's classic rally lines while delivering the easy-to-assemble mechanical layout hobbyists expect from TT-01 kits.

Chassis and mechanical character

The TT-01 here features a shaft-driven four-wheel drive bathtub frame and independent suspension at each corner. The setup emphasizes durability and user-friendly assembly, making it more of a display-capable touring kit than a race-prepped competition car.

Bodywork and visual accuracy

Shell painting and the included decal sheet reproduce the Escort WRC form and external fittings typical of its period. Molded mirror housings, the rear wing, and era-style wheels are retained to present an accurate and display-ready result.

Suitability and audience

The kit suits model builders who want a period-accurate rally body combined with the forgiving TT-01 chassis. It is well matched to collectors and hobbyists focused on assembly and presentation rather than track-only performance.

Tamiya's 58335 Ford Escort WRC on the TT-01 chassis offers a faithful exterior and straightforward mechanical design, making it ideal for builders seeking a rally-style display model with reliable assembly characteristics.
