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.
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.
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.
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.
