Racing Heritage in Your Hands: The 1/10 Scale 2020 Ford GT Mk II
Tamiya's 58689-60A model brings the thrill of the 2020 Ford GT Mk II directly to RC enthusiasts, allowing them to experience one of Ford's most exclusive track-only supercars. This RC kit pays homage to the historic victory at Le Mans in 1966, where the original GT40 MKII left an indelible mark in racing history. Now, you can own a piece of that legacy, meticulously recreated for the modern RC racer.
The TT-02 Chassis: Versatility Meets Precision
The TT-02 chassis forms the backbone of this model, renowned for its adaptability and ease of use. Featuring a shaft-driven 4WD system, it offers remarkable stability with a well-balanced layout — battery on the left, motor on the right. The uniform suspension arms and uprights simplify assembly and maintenance, making it a breeze for both beginners and seasoned builders. With multiple wheelbase, ground clearance, and gear ratio options, the TT-02 is as customizable as it is reliable, making it suitable for a variety of racing conditions.
Realism Meets Performance
The model's body, crafted from lightweight polycarbonate, captures the sleek lines and muscular stance of the real Ford GT Mk II. Details such as the flying buttresses, rear wing, and side mirrors are rendered in separate ABS parts, adding to the authenticity. The gunmetal 10-spoke wheels and slick tires not only enhance the model's aesthetic appeal but also ensure grip and stability on the track.
