Tamiya Ford Escort Custom '98, TT-02

This is a special custom street spec version of the 1998 Ford Escort. The body depicts the Ford Escort as a customized street version of the WRC car and is based upon the TT-02 chassis. The actual car was powered by an inline-4 2-liter engine offering 300 PS and 50 kgm of torque.

TT-02: Adaptable, balanced 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 to provide excellent stability. In addition, it features identical left and right suspension arms and uprights for ease of assembly, plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It is a highly adaptable chassis, offering two different wheelbases, two ground clearance settings, and two tread setups in addition to a range of ten possible gear ratios. It is not short on looks either, with brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports.
