Ford Escort RS Cosworth

Recommended Posts

I am still really a nitro collector but when I sold off my electric collection the Escorts stayed. The Tiger Stripe needs new tyres fitting and the wheels refreshing however they still look great. Just need to find a later WRC body to complete the TL-01 version.

Does anyone have an original decal sheet for the tiger stripes??

Takena punt on these and they look to be a direct copy of the originals as they have numbers on but the scale looks out.

What I noted on the decal sheet is that there are only two schades of blue. On the original there are three, two solid, one metallic.

Afternoon folks....started looking at the Repsol escort and noticed the front hubs are different.....ones blue and the others red like my other escorts.

As i dont have the instructions for this I'm unable to check as its a ta02 chassis on these.

Also the bearing in the back of the blue hub is larger than normal.....

 

Cheers

Yes the Repsol is based on the ta02 so larger front bearing, longer arms and different front knuckles.

There was a hop up for the ta01 to convert to a 02 53127 I think 🤔

One of your pictures above are all three ta01's 

If it's got a honeycomb effect inside the grey  chassis tub = 01 

Black and smoother =02
