Heritage Rally Build: Tamiya 58687-60A Escort MK II

The Tamiya 58687-60A Escort MK II recreates an iconic rally machine in 1/10 scale. This pre-painted kit evokes the Ford Escort that featured in classic stage events and mounts on the MF-01X chassis to provide a resilient, mod-friendly 4WD platform for hobbyists.

MF-01X chassis features: compact, strong and serviceable

The MF-01X uses a robust monocoque frame incorporating front and rear gearboxes. A rear-mounted 540 motor drives the rear gearset while a prop shaft transfers torque to the front, yielding balanced 4WD traction and smooth drivetrain action thanks to front and rear differentials.

Suspension and tyres: tuned for rally control

Four independent double wishbones and friction dampers deliver controlled body motions over hardpack stages. Rally block tyres are fitted to provide consistent lateral grip and predictable slides suitable for both display and sport driving.

Scale finish and lighting options: ready to personalise

The polycarbonate body is supplied pre-painted in period colours, with separate plastic trim pieces for bumpers, mirrors and lamps. Clear light cases allow installation of 5mm LEDs (not included) and decals are provided to reproduce the Escort MK II race livery accurately.

The Escort MK II on the MF-01X is a solid choice for builders who want genuine rally aesthetics with a platform that is easy to tweak for better handling or durability.

Standard modelling tools like side cutters, screwdrivers, a hobby knife and small files are sufficient. A thread-locker and small wrench set are useful for drivetrain fastenings.
Yes, the MF-01X supports conversions to different wheelbases using separately available propeller shafts and parts. Check Tamiya options for S and M wheelbase components.
The kit has polycarbonate lamp cases designed for 5mm LEDs, allowing you to add headlights and fog lights for a realistic night-stage appearance.
The factory paint offers good appearance out of the box, but polycarbonate paint is more susceptible to scuffs than hard bodies. Consider protective film or careful handling during use.
Yes, hop-up parts from Tamiya and third parties are available to strengthen driveline components, improve damping or swap gearing to suit your driving style.
