Tamiya has long been a benchmark in scale RC, and the 58335 Ford Escort WRC brings classic rally aesthetics to the TT-01 chassis. This kit recreates the 1998 WRC era car driven by Juha Kankkunen while offering an approachable package for club racers and collectors.

Historical Context of the Escort WRC

The Escort finished its WRC run in 1998 before Ford introduced the Focus, and drivers like Juha Kankkunen highlighted its competitive spirit. This model reflects the era with faithful lines and rally character.

TT-01 Underpinnings for Stable Handling

The TT-01 chassis is favoured for its toughness and predictable dynamics. With a shaft-driven 4WD system, independent double wishbone suspension and differential gearboxes at each end, it handles a range of surfaces with confidence.

Tips for Building and On-Track Setups

When assembling the Tamiya 58335, inspect suspension and steering alignment for best results. Experiment with tyre compounds and ride height to suit different tracks, and consider small upgrades to steering components for sharper response.
