For drivers focused on on-track performance, the Kyosho 31042K is a purpose-built 1/9 scale nitro rally model that faithfully recreates the Subaru Impreza WRC 2008. Its authentic bodywork and race-oriented layout make it a practical choice for RC racers and collectors who want a realistic driving feel.
The model is powered by a GXR18 engine with a recoil starter for straightforward engine starts, and a separate-type clutch for precise throttle response. A long wheelbase chassis and a 3-differential full-time 4WD drivetrain help maintain stability through loose gravel and faster tarmac sections.
Chassis geometry mirrors real rally design with a low centre of gravity and full independent suspension to handle mixed surfaces. Interchangeable suspension arms and knuckles simplify repairs and tuning, keeping running costs reasonable for regular track use.
Key parts are designed for serviceability, from the rally-pattern pneumatic tyres to the clear-lens headlights. A large air cleaner protects the engine, while dual disk brakes let you balance front and rear stopping power. Adjustable chassis height and camber let you fine tune handling for different stages.
The Kyosho 31042K captures the look and engineering spirit of the Subaru Impreza WRC 2008, including its longer wheelbase and compact boxer engine layout. The livery and proportions are reproduced to give a convincing scale appearance on and off the track.
The Kyosho 31042K is suited to hobbyists who value authentic scale detail and a platform that responds to tuning. It rewards careful setup and regular maintenance with consistent on-track performance.
