Tamiya captures the spirit of the Ford Escort Mk.II in a scale kit that nods to its rally pedigree while offering a modern driving platform. The model keeps classic proportions and finishes but rides on the adaptable MF-01X, making it suitable for recreational off-road outings or club rally events.
The MF-01X chassis provides a sturdy monocoque base and a reliable 4WD arrangement. A rear-mounted 540 style motor transmits power through a gear-driven system and a propeller shaft to the front, delivering even torque distribution. Both front and rear gearboxes house differential gears that help with cornering and stability.
The pre-painted white polycarbonate body includes scale touches like moulded bumpers, side mirrors and fog lamps. For realism you can fit polycarbonate light cases and 5mm LEDs, and the supplied sticker set reproduces the traditional blue rally livery and sponsor art.
The MF-01X is fitted with four wheel independent double wishbone suspension and friction dampers to smooth impacts. Rally Block tyres come fitted for multi-surface grip and the included Tamiya Torque Tuned Motor balances acceleration with controllability. A broad selection of Hop-Up Options lets you refine performance for your preferred terrain.
The Tamiya Ford Escort Mk.II on the MF-01X chassis is a flexible kit for hobbyists who want authentic looks and a chassis that performs across a variety of running surfaces.
