Tamiya 43533 1/10 Nitro RTR Subaru Impreza WRC '07 Classic Rally Edition  [43533]

Rally DNA in Scale: Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRC '07

The Tamiya 43533 1/10 RC Nitro RTR Subaru Impreza WRC '07 captures the spirit of a true WRC contender. This model reproduces the 2007 Subaru Impreza WRC with attention to period detail and race-inspired styling, and is mounted on the tough TNS-FD platform for dependable performance.

2007 Improvements That Matter

The real-world Subaru Impreza WRC from 2007 brought refined suspension geometry, upgraded turbo and intercooler arrangements, and improved mass distribution to sharpen its pace. Aerodynamic tweaks like the updated front bumper and intercooler layout helped drivers such as Chris Atkinson and Petter Solberg perform strongly on stages like Monte Carlo.

TNS-FD Chassis Construction and Layout

The TNS-FD chassis uses a 2.5mm aluminium alloy lower deck and a 4WD shaft-driven bathtub form for strength and predictable handling. Independent double wishbone suspension with oil-filled dampers provides controlled responses, while sealed differentials front and rear help maintain traction. Power comes from the 2.1cc FS-12FD glow engine, noted for its strong midrange and reliability.

Ready-to-Run Setup and Factory Livery

This RTR package arrives pre-assembled and ready to run, with a pre-painted polycarbonate body that recreates the Monte Carlo livery. The Tamiya Adspec GP radio system is fitted for straightforward control, and the model accepts many optional parts for those who want to tune handling or power delivery.

For hobbyists who value authentic rally detail and nitro power, the Tamiya 43533 Subaru Impreza WRC '07 blends realistic looks with a durable chassis and tunable setup for club events or backyard practice.
