Tamiya 58270 1/10 Subaru Impreza WRC Arai TB-01 Enthusiast Edition  [58270]

Rally Roots of the Subaru Impreza in Miniature

The Tamiya 58270 1/10 Subaru Impreza WRC Arai Version pays homage to Toshihiro Arai's WRC efforts, echoing the car's prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Tamiya reproduces the rally look and decals so builders can own a compact, competition-inspired model.

TB-01: Robust and Custom Friendly

The TB-01 chassis is known for a tough layout that welcomes adjustments and aftermarket parts. Its low centre of mass and balanced chassis geometry help with cornering, and the 4WD drivetrain combined with tunable suspension provides reliable control across varied tracks.

Driving Characteristics and Modding Options

The electric setup lets you experiment with motor size and gearing to suit different driving styles. Beginners benefit from a clear build, while advanced hobbyists can pursue differential, shock and weight modifications to dial in sharper handling.

Where the 58270 Fits in the Lineup

Compared to simpler kits, the TB-01-based 58270 leans to those who enjoy hands-on setup work. The detailed polycarbonate body and period-correct livery make it attractive for collectors, while the chassis supports competitive tweaks.

Tamiya 58270 combines authentic rally styling with a chassis that rewards setup and upgrades, making it a solid choice for both display and active RC rallying.
