Tamiya 58259 1/10 Subaru Impreza TB-01 Rally Replica Kit  [58259]

Classic Rally Character Rendered in 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya 58259 1/10 Subaru Impreza German Rally Champion replicates the Team Holzer Subaru that scored big in the 1999 German Rally Championships. The kit blends period-correct styling with a TB-01 chassis engineered for balanced, predictable handling.

TB-01 Chassis and Handling Traits

The TB-01 uses a full-time shaft-driven 4WD system that maintains traction and distributes power evenly. Independent double wishbone suspension all round helps the model negotiate corners with composure and gives a planted feel during acceleration.

Scale-Correct Body and Rugged Frame

Tamiya fashions the body from tough polycarbonate to mirror the original rally contours, while the ABS bathtub frame supports the drivetrain and electronics. The kit measures 442mm long and 186mm wide, with a 157mm tread front and rear and tyres sized 27mm by 69mm for authentic proportions.

Tuning Advice for Everyday Performance Gains

Keep the included 540 Type Motor for a reliable baseline, then experiment with gear ratios or motor types to alter acceleration and top speed. Upgrading wheel bearings, shocks, or using different tyres will noticeably affect cornering and response.

The Tamiya 58259 Subaru Impreza German Rally Champion TB-01 Kit suits both display collectors and club drivers who want a historically styled car with straightforward upgrade paths.
