Martin, it clinched victories in both the Acropolis and Finland rallies, showcasing its prowess on the world stage.

Unmatched Performance with TT-01 Chassis

The TT-01 chassis is known for its ease of assembly and robust performance, making it a favorite among both beginners and seasoned racers. Its shaft-driven 4WD system ensures reliable power delivery, while the longitudinally placed motor enhances stability.

The fully independent double wishbone suspension and differential gears in sealed gearboxes contribute to smooth cornering and top-notch control.

The clear polycarbonate body accurately captures the aggressive lines of the real-life rally car, offering both aesthetic appeal and aerodynamic efficiency. Although it requires additional components like a 7.2V battery, charger, and electronic speed control, this kit provides a rewarding build experience for hobbyists who appreciate detail and authenticity.

The Tamiya 58308 Ford Focus RS WRC '03 is an ideal choice for hobbyists who value both performance and historical significance. Its TT-01 chassis offers a solid foundation for racing, while the detailed bodywork pays homage to a rally legend.
