Tamiya 58335 Ford Escort WRC TT-01 Rally Kit  [58335]

Classic Rally Heritage Meets Modern TT-01 Engineering

In the world of RC racing, few names carry the same weight as Tamiya. The 58335 Ford Escort WRC recreates the 1998 World Rally Championship car on the TT-01 chassis, blending accurate body detail with approachable performance for hobbyists. The model pays tribute to the Escort campaigned by Juha Kankkunen while delivering a satisfying build and driving experience.

Why the Escort WRC Still Resonates

The 1998 season was the Escort's swan song before Ford moved on to the Focus, and drivers like Juha Kankkunen helped keep it competitive. This kit captures that era with period-correct styling and rally character.

TT-01 Chassis: Dependable and Easy to Tune

The TT-01 is prized for durability and straightforward setup. Its 4WD shaft-driven layout, independent double wishbone suspension and front and rear differentials make for predictable handling whether you run it on smooth asphalt or rougher club tracks.

Assembly Notes and Running Advice

New builders will find the Tamiya 58335 rewarding to assemble if components are aligned carefully. Try different tire compounds to suit your chosen surface, and adjust camber and toe settings to refine cornering balance as you gain experience.

The Tamiya 58335 Ford Escort WRC on the TT-01 chassis is a versatile kit for both first-time builders and experienced modellers, pairing classic rally looks with a user-friendly platform.
