Full-size version of Escort Mk.II Rally.

Full size rally cars are quite the spectacle as they race at high speeds over both asphalt and dirt. Thus making them the perfect subject for the RC world. Tamiya has produced numerous rally RC rally cars over the years and they have recently announced an addition to its RC rally stable of vehicles: the Ford Escort Mk.II Rally. It is modeled after a car which was the RAC Rally champion from 1975-1979. Fittingly, it is based upon the MF-01X chassis, which has dedicated rally parts and is at home on a range of surfaces.
