Tamiya 58112 Ford Escort Cosworth...

[@Punisher6654]

I'm going to get into this RC hobby and the first car I'm going to get is the HPI Ford Gt3 Heritage. I collect Hot Toys 1/6 scale high end figures and statues and I really enjoy that hobby but I feel I need to get into another hobby and that's RC, this car is amazing by the way.

[@craiggerhardt2871]

OMG what memories... my favorite of all my r/c cars was my michelin pilot escort... i put that car through hell and back and she just kept going. i think of that car often and didnt realize that they are hard to come by. Good video and thanks again for the memories.

[@nightstaker235]

I remember getting this for Xmas, first Tamiya Rc kit I built as a kid, wish i my parents had kept it when i moved out. Still have my British racing green Mini Cooper

[@marchewitson6191]

My brother got one of these very cars for Christmas one year in the 90s, seeing it once built and seeing it go got me hocked on RC, this very car is to blame for my addiction.

Oh Glenn i can't believe i missed this one!?? The Escort RS Cosworth Tiger Stripe and Michelin Pilot version, but didn't own the 3rd Repsol version. They were my 2 favourite rally cars! The TA01 chassis is my all time road vehicle tamiya chassis. I owned 3 Tiger Striped and 4 Michelin Pilots! Beautiful and so much fun to drive on gravel and sandy dusty tarmac!

[@TAMIYALegends]

wesley donnelly Yeah there the best looking Tamiya rally cars in my opinion 🤩🤩🤩

[@ss9c1]

That odd angle in the rear is stock. I checked the manual, and that is how stock looked.

[@TeddyWhite]

Karl Johnson - it’s stock - fragile as well if it takes a knock 👍🏻

[@TAMIYALegends]

Karl Johnson Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻

[@TAMIYALegends]

Edward White Yeah I can imagine it wouldn’t take much to break it 😬🚗💨💨

[@La_motavation]

i think its to change the wheel base? At least thats how it is on the tt02 but thats a whole other chassis

[@ShenRC]

That looks nice! man that used to come with some funky tires!!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Shen RC Yeah it certainly did buddy, not seen them on other car yet 🤔

[@stephenstott5898]

Hi Glenn, again I've just been looking on the tamiyausa website and the 2005 manta ray chassis is still available for $10.50 plus P&P, go on the website > radio controlled> off-road buggies go down the page click on discontinued and enjoy the old cars you can even download a lot of the manuals. Steve UK.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Stephen Stott Cool I’ll go and have a look buddy 😎👊🏻

[@SkemeKOS]

I've only owned 3 RC cars, and this was my 2nd one, but it was the first one I built for myself when I was 11 in 1994. I'd love to get one now, but as you say, they are going for crazy prices on Ebay.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Glenn! Great find buddy! This is the exact same car I bought back in 1996! I still have it! Trouble is, the body is beyond repair after all those years of crashing it! So it now has a Subaru Mexico body on it - you may have seen it on my channel, I did a couple of vids on how I restored it and fitted the Scoobie shell. I wanted the Escort shell, but too expensive for me! The chassis has lasted really well, it is still stock and runs like a dream! Take a look at my latest beach run video, it is amazing on the stock shocks, so much suspension travel! The strange angle of the rear wishbones is stock, it was so you could reverse them for a longer wheelbase for different models. Yours also has an upgraded steel propshaft. The original tyres were amazing off road, but I wore through the tall sidewalls in the end! I still have the stock wheels though. If you have any questions about the TA, I may be able to help! All the best, Mark. :)

[@TAMIYALegends]

Mark Bryan RC Oh that’s awesome Mark, thanks for sharing that buddy 😊👊🏻

[@hondofourfivetwo9347]

Yup that rear dog bone angle is how they came first thing I did to mine back in the day was replace them all with the universals all the parts on this one look period correct (at least for an on road version I have those same shocks on my TA02.

[@nigefoxx]

Very nice. I've still got mine, and I think the box somewhere. Raced the daylights out of it too! I put an uprated battery in it (still terrible by today's standards) and an electronic speed controller and finished it off with a Technigold motor and some headlights/tail lights/dash lights. Used to eat up rear tyres on tarmac though. I should dig it out of storage- got a Bush Devil in there somewheres too.

[@keithrx3c]

I'm not a ford fan AT ALL, but, I don't mind these Escorts. Back in 05/06 My uncle invited me to go RC racing but I didn't have a car, so he lent me his Michelin/Pilot Escort to race. The track was in a shed in a park with a very smooth cement floor in the middle of winter so it was pretty cold. First time racing in 20 odd years or so, didn't do too bad. First race I was in the lead by more than a lap and the battery died with about 30 seconds to go and I DNF'd. After that there was at least one win and a 2nd. Not a bad little car, it served me well until I bought a TA05.

What do you think of the new street escort on tt-02 chassis?

[@thedumpydustman6088]

I actually have a TB01 with the scooby shell on and oh its seen some gravel action I can tell you. As its brushless it really flies well till I broke a front drive shaft which have had real trouble finding cheaply anyways. Been thinking of selling it but after seeing this might just restore it after all

[@PeteWylieRC]

Very interesting. I've got one of these on a TA-01 with all original analogue electrics and it looks unused but the original owner just painted it in plain metallic blue rather than using any of the rally stickers. I got it from a chap at work for next to nothing when he was having a clear out. I've since realised that it might be worth a few quid so I haven't run it either and it's just looking nice on my shelf! It did have the original wheels but the tyres had perished. You are right in saying that the original wheels it had were smaller than the ones you can get now. I bought a set of the same ones that you did and put the standard rally block tyres on. Anyway all the talk of it being worth money makes me wonder if it's worth that to just be an ornament on the shelf !

Quite a find indeed Glenn!! 😲😎👍👍 That's another of the COOL Cars that never made it to the United States. Sad, really. Can't wait to see this beauty all Cherried up!! BTW, that wonky Dogbone angle IS correct. I had several TA-01-02 Cars. THAT'S how they managed to do the short Wheelbase back then! 😖 Also, the Original Wheels were basically M-Chassis size. Thing is, Tamiya was still about being as true to real as possible, and back then, 16" was as big as Wheels got on real Cars, with taller Sidewalls.... No Tyres PAINTED on 20" Rims, like post Millennium Cars!! 😜😎 Carmine ✈🚂🚙

[@mikeymike3240]

You definitely didn't look too hard for one. I sold my tiger stripe last year on Ebay. Totally bog standard with the original wheels and tyres .it was a shelf queen, boxed with instructions, 2 cracks to the front bumper when he put the shell on another car. What doesn't make sense to me is.......if you sell a kidney for decals, you don't want the correct wheels and tyres, and you don't even have to look for them. It really needs the proper wheels and tyres no matter what. The rear driveshafts are meant to be like that, one of the differences between the ta01 and ta02.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Mikey mike Yeah I guess what I really should of said is, I really couldn’t afford the extra cash for them. I’m not and never have been a Tamiya purist so as long as it’s close enough them I’m happy. Decals on the other hand are different, the MCI ones aren’t colour correct and you would definitely see that, so that extra cost is worth it for me. I have to run this channel on a tight budget and also operate a one in, one out system. So whatever money I put into them I have to make sure I can get back buddy. Thanks for watching...

[@mikeymike3240]

@@TAMIYALegends I'm no purist, like yerself, one in one out. The ta01/ ta01 and cc01 chassis are my favourite chassis. I used to race the ta01 and ta01 touring cars for years, we raced them out of the box to give everyone a fair chance as a few of us came from racing 1/10 buggies. It was slow, but great fun to see the kids keeping up with the veterans and the veterans passing them on the corners, they were the days. Some of the other veterans wanted to introduce esc's , 27 turn motors,they got it, then a modified class as well, really ruined the club and the racing.
