Rally Toughness from a Proven Chassis

The Tamiya 58338 1/10 Subaru Impreza WRC 2004 RC kit pairs authentic styling with rugged TB-02 mechanics. It is built for hobbyists who expect a model that can be set up for rough tracks or challenging club runs.

Subaru Impreza 2004 Overview

The 2004 Impreza brought updates that improved stability and aerodynamic balance, factors that translated into stronger results on varied rally stages. The kit reflects those visual and mechanical cues at scale.

Powertrain and Motor Considerations

The TB-02 uses a shaft-driven 4WD layout to maintain traction under power. Full ball bearings in the diffs enhance efficiency, and the platform accepts a Type 540 motor for a balance of speed and reliability.

Setup Flexibility and Protection

C.V.A. Mini Shock dampers and adjustable turnbuckle shafts let you tailor suspension behaviour to rough terrain. The urethane bumper and a motor heat sink add built-in protection for more aggressive running conditions.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/10
  • Chassis: TB-02

The Tamiya 58338 Subaru Impreza WRC 2004 suits hobbyists seeking a durable rally replica that can take setup changes and aftermarket upgrades for tougher environments.

Yes, the TB-02 chassis is robust and with proper shocks and tyres it copes well with uneven surfaces and harder impacts.
Upgrading to higher-quality shocks, stronger drive shafts and improved tyres typically delivers the clearest handling and durability benefits.
The kit is approachable for newcomers who are comfortable with basic assembly; some electronics and trimming knowledge will help finish the build cleanly.
Regular checks after a few runs are recommended; inspect seals and oil, and refresh shock oil yearly or sooner if performance drops.
A 7.2V NiMH pack is a common choice for reliable power, though modern ESCs allow conversion to LiPo with suitable safety and mounting adjustments.
