Description
Please Note:

This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.

This R/C model assembly kit recreates a three-door hatchback Ford Escort Mk.6 with customisations such as blister fenders, a front spoiler, and a rear wing. The powerful form is captured by a lightweight and durable polycarbonate body, and stickers are included to add detail. The model is based upon the adaptable and user-friendly TT-02 chassis, which offers shaft-driven 4WD.

The shaft-driven 4WD TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout with the battery on the left and the motor on the right for excellent stability. It features identical left and right suspension arms and uprights for ease of assembly, plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It offers 2 different wheelbases, 2 ground clearance settings, and 2 tread set-ups in addition to a range of 10 possible gear ratios. White dish wheels use tread patterned semi-pneumatic tyres.
