This Tamiya TT-02 Ford Focus RS 2003 kit balances period-correct rally styling with a chassis platform made for straightforward builds. It provides an engaging assembly experience and a road-biased driving feel that hobbyists can tune to their tastes.
The 2003 Focus RS was upgraded with stronger safety framing and performance tweaks that sharpened its rally capability. This RC version mirrors that sporting character while avoiding event liveries, putting emphasis on the car's shape and attitude.
The TT-02 is widely used because of its dependable geometry and simple parts list. Its right-side motor and left battery arrangement give predictable balance, and shared suspension pieces speed up assembly and spares handling. It also offers room for tweaks like ride height, gearing, and camber settings.
The lightweight polycarbonate shell reproduces the Focus RS profile, while separate plastic parts supply realistic mirrors and a rear wing. The included 16-spoke white wheels and performance radials give an authentic look. A 540 Torque Tuned motor comes with the kit; an ESC is not provided.
For those who want a rally-flavoured 1/10 model with a forgiving platform, this Tamiya TT-02 Ford Focus RS 2003 kit is a strong pick. It works well as a show piece and as a base for sensible upgrades.
