Tamiya 1998 Ford Escort Custom (TT-02)

The Tamiya 1998 Ford Escort Custom (TT-02) is a 1/10 scale 4WD rally car kit, built on Tamiya’s TT-02 chassis. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.

Finished, it measures 425mm long with a 257mm wheelbase. The body is polycarbonate, so it takes knocks better than a hard shell.

Tamiya supply an electronic speed controller in the box.
