The Tamiya 58691 Ford Escort TT-02 offers a street-spec take on a legendary platform, blending period-correct styling with a chassis aimed at accessible performance. It channels the spirit of the Escort lineage into a model that is enjoyable to build and run on road surfaces.
Built on the shaft-driven 4WD TT-02 chassis, this model emphasises predictable handling and easy maintenance. The longitudinal layout places the battery and motor on opposite sides to maintain balance, and adjustable wheelbase and ride height options let you tune the car's behaviour. Ten gearing choices allow for straightforward speed and acceleration adjustments.
The polycarbonate shell is 1.0mm thick, giving a strong but lightweight body. Included white ABS dish wheels with treaded tyres suit street conditions and the kit supplies stickers and window masks so you can create an accurate finish after painting.
There are many Hop-Up Options available to modify handling and durability. The kit includes a new ESC that supports sensored brushless motors from 21.5 turns and higher as well as compatible Tamiya brushed motors at 25 turns and over, which helps when selecting your electronics package.
The Tamiya 58691 Ford Escort TT-02 is a solid choice for modders and collectors who want a faithful street replica with clear upgrade paths. Its tuneable chassis and accurate bodywork make it versatile for display and club-level driving.
