Tamiya Ford Escort Mk. II Rally 58687 (MF-01X) 1/10 Electric RC Car Kit

Tamiya Ford Escort Mk. II Rally RC Car

Tamiya has brought back the rally version of the Escort Mk. II with a pre-painted body, representing the essence of 1970's rallying.

With rear-wheel drive, Cosworth engines and drivers like Björn Waldegård, Ari Vatanen and Hannu Mikkola behind the wheels, the Ford Escort Mk. II continued the legacy of the Mk. I and won the RAC Rally five years in a row, as well as finishing 1, 2 and 3 in the 1979 WRC Drivers Championship and winning the Manufacturers' Championship the same year. The Escort Mk. II took numerous other rally wins during its rallying career spanning from 1975 to 1981, and also helped Ari Vatanen take the 1981 drivers Championship.

With such strong performance, combined with memories of fire-breathing Escorts permanently sideways around muddy rally stages, it's not wonder that the Ford Escort Mk. II has cemented its place in rally folklore.
