Drive an Icon!
The iconic Escort was manufactured between 1968 and 2004 by Ford Europe. The Mk.II was produced from 1975 to 1980, a front-engine, rear-wheel drive car with a classic boxy body. The RS1800 was fitted with a high performance DOHC 4-cylinder engine and became the base for a successful works team rally car that secured Manufacturers' and Drivers' championships in 1979. Now, this rally legend is recreated in an R/C model assembly kit, with a polycarbonate body accurately capturing the ageless style. Based upon the versatile MF-01X chassis, it will provide plenty of fun on both road and dirt surfaces.
MF-01X - Compact 4WD At Home on a Range of Surfaces
Based around a tough monocoque frame with integrated gearboxes, this compact 4WD chassis gives a thrilling drive whether you take it on road or flat dirt surfaces. It features a rear-mounted motor, with gear-driven rear wheels and a propeller shaft taking power to the front. Both front and rear gearboxes have differential gears. The battery pack location in the chassis center secures excellent balance, while 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension employs friction dampers. Rally Block tires with width/diameter of 27/69mm are also included.
Key Features:
1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 414mm, wheelbase: 239mm (L).
Polycarbonate body pre-painted in White.
Separately molded plastic components are included to recreate bumper, side mirrors and fog lamps.
Polycarbonate front and rear light cases are compatible with separately sold Tamiya 5mm LEDs.
Stickers are included to recreate blue livery sections, sponsor logos and more.
The MF-01X is at home on-road or on flat dirt, thanks to 4-wheel double wishbone suspension.
Power from the rear mounted motor is transmitted by gear differential to the rear wheels, and via a propeller shaft to the front. The chassis can be converted to S and M wheelbases with separately sold propeller shafts.
A host of Hop-Up Option parts are available to tune the MF-01X chassis.
