Classic Rally Performance in a Buildable Kit

The Subaru Impreza WRC made waves in the 2008 WRC season, with strong early results under Petter Solberg. This kit recreates that rally car in 1/10 scale so builders can assemble and run a piece of rally history on a TT-01E chassis.

Detailed Body and Construction

The realistic polycarbonate body reflects the original car's aerodynamic features and rally attitude. The TT-01E chassis provides a straightforward layout that balances ruggedness with easy access for tuning and maintenance.

Shaft 4WD and Steering Upgrades

The TT-01E's shaft-driven 4WD gives predictable traction while the improved steering linkage with TA05-style posts sharpens response. These features help the model handle both street sessions and club rally stages.

Integrated Lighting and Electronics

Factory fitted with the LED Light Unit TLU-01, the kit includes two white and two red 5mm LEDs and space for extra lights in the front and rear casings. The included ESC TEU-101BK fits neatly and works with standard 2-channel radios.

Easy Mods and Aftermarket Parts

For those wanting more speed or better handling, the Tamiya 58426 accepts numerous upgrade parts for suspension, drivetrain and motor choices. This makes it a flexible platform for incremental upgrades.

The Tamiya 58426 kit gives hobbyists a tunable rally platform that combines authentic looks with a proven chassis and simple upgrade paths.

Yes, the kit's front and rear light cases have room for extra LEDs so you can add spot lamps or indicator effects using common 5mm parts.
A standard 2-channel radio and a reliable servo are sufficient for basic operation; upgrade to a faster servo for improved steering feel in competitive use.
Yes, altering pinion and spur gear ratios or choosing a different motor will raise top speed, but ensure adequate cooling and secure gear mesh.
Standard Tamiya body clips and mounting hardware fit this kit, and spares are widely available from hobby suppliers for routine servicing.
Basic modelling tools, a small screwdriver set, side cutters for polycarbonate, fine files and masking tape for painting are the minimum needed for a neat build.
