The Tamiya 57717 - XB Subaru Impreza WRC 2002 reproduces a memorable rally contender in accurate scale. Using the TT-01 chassis keeps the build practical while preserving the look and proportions that make this model instantly recognisable.
The TT-01 chassis is prized for its predictable handling and easy servicing. A shaft-driven 4WD system helps distribute torque evenly, and independent wishbone suspension gives consistent wheel control. Plastic coil-over friction dampers offer a simple, maintainable approach to shock absorption.
The pre-cut, printed polycarbonate shell mirrors the WRC 2002 livery and reduces trimming work. Ten-spoke wheels with radial tyres enhance grip and deliver a period-correct look for club runs and display sessions.
With an 8.35:1 gear ratio and a bevel gear differential, the TT-01 setup balances torque and speed for everyday driving. The supplied electric 540 motor and CPR Unit electronic speed controller provide reliable baseline performance; a 7.2V battery is recommended but not included.
Tamiya 57717 - XB Subaru Impreza WRC 2002 is a dependable choice for enthusiasts who want a period-accurate rally model that is easy to run and upgrade.
