Tamiya 58335 Ford Escort WRC Retro Rally Kit TT-01  [58335]

Retro Rally Character Paired with a Proven TT-01 Chassis

Tamiya's reputation for scale accuracy shows in the 58335 Ford Escort WRC, which presents a faithful 1998 rally silhouette on the reliable TT-01 frame. The package blends authentic body detail with a chassis that encourages setup experimentation.

The Escort WRC in Rally History

The Escort closed out its WRC chapter in 1998 before the Focus era, and drivers like Juha Kankkunen kept it competitive through that season. This kit channels that period, letting builders recreate classic rally imagery.

TT-01 Chassis Attributes for Tuners

The TT-01 platform is valued for its strength and modular nature. Its 4WD shaft drive, independent double wishbone suspension and front and rear differentials offer a base that responds well to gearing, damper and tyre changes.

Practical Build and Setup Hints

When putting together the Tamiya 58335, pay attention to suspension pivot alignment and gear mesh. Try different tyre compounds and adjust ride height to match loose or hard-packed terrain for better lap consistency.

The Tamiya 58335 Ford Escort WRC on TT-01 is a rewarding project for those who enjoy building, tuning and running a rally-style model with genuine period character.
