2001 WRC Tribute: Tamiya 58273 Subaru Impreza

The Tamiya 58273 Subaru Impreza WRC 2001 Kit brings a classic rally car to the bench at 1/10 scale, reflecting the machine campaigned by R. Burns. The clear polycarbonate body and TL-01 chassis combine to deliver realistic looks and a rewarding build process.

What the TL-01 Chassis Brings

The TL-01 chassis is designed for simple maintenance and reliable performance, attracting both newer builders and experienced modders. Its shaft-driven 4WD keeps traction predictable while the fully independent double wishbone suspension gives responsive handling.

Powertrain and Custom Options

Included with the kit is a 540-brushed motor that offers a steady powerband for club track and pavement runs. Friction dampers and rubber radial tyres are fitted for composed handling, and the clear body accepts polycarbonate paint for realistic finishes. An ESC is not part of the kit, so plan to source one when you outfit the car.

The Tamiya 58273 is well suited for hobbyists who want a classic rally subject with scope for setup changes and paintwork. The TL-01 offers a solid, user-friendly platform for tuning and display.

Basic modelling tools like cutters, a hobby knife, screwdrivers and small pliers are sufficient; a paint booth or protective area is recommended for body painting.
Yes, the 540-brushed motor can be swapped for alternative 540-compatible units if you want more speed or different torque characteristics.
Use polycarbonate-specific lacquers or spray paints designed for clear bodies to get a durable, glossy finish that flexes with the shell.
Yes, you can adjust ride height and make minor setup tweaks to improve handling for different surfaces, though major suspension mods may require aftermarket parts.
Replacement bodies and small body parts are sometimes available through Tamiya spares or third-party vendors; check part numbers to ensure compatibility.
