Tamiya 58687 Ford Escort MK II 1/10 Rally PB MF-01X Collector Kit  [58687]

A Rally Classic Brought Back to Life

For modelers who respect classic rally cars, Tamiya presents the Ford Escort Mk.II in a faithful kit that echoes its 1970s rally heritage. The build blends vintage appeal with a practical modern chassis so you can enjoy spirited runs on both sealed roads and packed tracks.

Why the MF-01X Is Great for Rally Use

The MF-01X chassis underpins this model and is prized for its flexible performance. With a solid monocoque base, the 4WD arrangement transmits drive from a rear-mounted motor through a geared system and a prop shaft to the front, keeping traction well distributed. Differentials front and rear help improve cornering balance.

Authentic Styling and Lighting Ready Options

The body is pre-painted in white polycarbonate and comes with moulded bumpers, mirrors and fog lights for scale accuracy. If you want functional headlights, compatible polycarbonate light cases take 5mm LEDs sold separately, and the sticker sheet replicates the period blue livery and sponsor decals.

Suspension, Tyres and Tuning Choices

The MF-01X uses independent double wishbone suspension with friction dampers to soak up rougher surfaces. Rally Block tyres supply traction across different conditions and the included Torque Tuned Motor offers a sensible balance between acceleration and control. Numerous Hop-Up Options are available for those wanting to refine speed or handling.

The Tamiya Ford Escort Mk.II on the MF-01X chassis suits hobbyists who want a striking period model that also performs on varied surfaces, whether for club runs or display.
