The Tamiya 58308 Ford Focus RS WRC '03 brings a compact rally classic to the hobby bench, echoing the liveries and stance of the 2003 car that triumphed on tough WRC stages. This kit gives enthusiasts a period-correct body and an approachable platform for on-track action.
The TT-01 chassis focuses on ease of use and consistent behaviour, ideal for club racers and hobbyists who prefer tuning over complex assembly. Its shaft-driven 4WD keeps traction even under variable grip, while the longitudinal motor layout aids straight-line control. The flat battery placement in the bathtub chassis lowers the centre of gravity, and the independent double wishbone suspension with sealed gearboxes smooths cornering response.
The clear polycarbonate body accurately reflects the Focus RS WRC '03 silhouette, ready to be painted in rally colours. As a kit, it does not include running gear like a 7.2V battery, charger, 2-channel radio or ESC, allowing builders to pick electronics to match their track style and budget.
Tamiya 58308 Ford Focus RS WRC '03 on the TT-01 chassis is a rewarding kit for those wanting a genuine rally model with straightforward mechanics and room to tune electronics and tyres for local tracks.
