Kyosho 31042K Rally Replica Built for Driving

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.

Realistic Power and Drive Control

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 Setup and Maintenance Ease

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.

Serviceable Parts and Tunable Components

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.

Styled After the Subaru Impreza WRC 2008

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.

The car has advanced mechanical features, so beginners will benefit from mentoring. With basic engine and radio setup help, new drivers can learn to run and maintain it.
Keep the air filter clean, inspect suspension and knuckles after each off-road session, and check the clutch and drivetrain for wear to preserve performance.
Yes. The chassis accepts different tyre choices and shock valving, so you can tune for loose gravel, hardpack, or smooth surfaces.
Standard nitro fuel and common hobby tools are sufficient. A basic engine tuning kit and a set of hex drivers will make maintenance and setup easier.
