Overview

The Tamiya 1998 Ford Escort Custom RC On-Road Car brings the legendary style of the late nineties tuning scene to life in a high-quality assembly kit. This model features a lightweight polycarbonate body that captures the iconic flared guards and sleek aerodynamic profile of the classic custom Escort. Mounted on the balanced shaft-driven 4WD system, this vehicle provides an engaging entry into the world of hobby-grade radio control for anyone who enjoys the mechanical process of building a machine from the ground up.

Manoeuvring this machine on the tarmac is a rewarding experience because the clever longitudinal layout keeps the weight distributed evenly for stable cornering.

Assembling this well-engineered piece of art offers a deep sense of satisfaction as the easy-to-follow instructions guide you through creating a high-performance machine that looks as good as it handles.
