Ford Focus RS 2003 – No ESC included
Tamiya welcomes this 1/10 R/C model assembly kit – which depicts the high-performance rally-oriented RS version of the 1998 debut Ford Focus compact car with various customizations – based upon our popular TT- 02 chassis.
In 2003, the Ford Motor Co. Team chief engineer Christian Loriaux made various changes such as seat position, roll cage and suspension to the Ford Focus, and improved aerodynamics with the updated bumper shape, hood intake position and large rear wing and more. The 2-liter inline-4 turbo engine was capable of 300PS and 550Nm. This rally car secured the second place of the Manufacturer ranking four times during 7-year races, and showed off its strength.
This time, the kit recreates a custom street version without sponsor logos.
Adaptable TT-02 Chassis offers balanced shaft driven 4WD
The shaft driven 4WD TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout with the battery on the left and the motor on the right, to offer excellent stability. In addition, it features identical left and right suspension arms and uprights for ease of assembly, plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It is a highly adaptable chassis, as it offers 2 different wheelbases, 2 ground clearance settings and 2 tread set-ups in addition to a range of 10 possible gear ratios. It is not short on looks either, with brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports.
