Tamiya Escort Mk.II Rally - MF-01X

The Tamiya Escort Mk.II Rally - MF-01X is a 1/10 scale 4WD rally car kit, built on Tamiya's MF-01X chassis. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.

Finished, it measures 414mm long with a 239mm wheelbase. The body is polycarbonate, so it takes knocks better than a hard shell.

Tamiya supply a Torque Tuned Motor and an electronic speed controller in the box.
