Heritage Rally Model: Tamiya 58538 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

Recreate a rally icon with the Tamiya 58538 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Team Arai. This 1/10 scale kit represents the car driven by Toshihiro Arai at the 2011 Rally Hokkaido and mounts on the TT-01E chassis for a tidy build experience and straightforward upgrade path.

Practical TT-01E Chassis Overview

The TT-01E is built for clear assembly and dependable road manners. A shaft-driven 4WD system gives balanced traction, while fully independent double wishbone suspension and bell-crank steering provide good feedback. The kit includes friction dampers and plastic bushings, which are fine for street use but are commonly replaced for improved performance.

Shell Detail and Accessory Ready Features

The polycarbonate body offers a balance of durability and trimming convenience, and the included decal sheet reproduces the Team Arai livery. Metal-plated light bucket cases add authentic detail, and aftermarket LED kits can be fitted for those who want illuminated headlights.

Build time varies with experience, but expect several evenings for a first-timer. Careful trimming and decal work add to the total time.
Yes. Replacement plastic and upgrade parts for the TT-01E and common drivetrain items are widely available from hobby suppliers.
The kit pairs with standard 540-size brushed motors and an ESC like the TEU-105BK. For better throttle response, consider a higher spec brushless motor and matching ESC, checking fit and gearing.
Absolutely. The polycarbonate shell and accurate decals make it a strong candidate for display builds, especially if you add detailing and paintwork.
Regular checks of drivetrain screws, gear mesh and wheel hexes are recommended. Clean and lightly grease moving parts after dusty sessions to keep performance consistent.
