Tamiya 57717 Subaru Impreza WRC 2002 XB on TT-01 1/10 Chassis  [57717]

Subaru Impreza WRC 2002 Rally Replica for RC Fans

The Tamiya 57717 - XB Subaru Impreza WRC 2002 recreates the rally icon with scale detail and durable construction. Built on the reliable TT-01 platform, this kit balances realistic looks with straightforward mechanics that appeal to both first-time builders and seasoned club racers.

TT-01 Chassis: Simple and Dependable

The TT-01 chassis is valued for its user-friendly layout and predictable handling. A shaft-driven 4WD system gives consistent power delivery across all four wheels, while independent wishbone suspension keeps the car composed through corners. Plastic coil-over friction dampers provide basic shock absorption that is easy to service and tune.

Accurate Polycarbonate Shell and Wheel Fitment

The pre-cut, pre-printed polycarbonate body faithfully mirrors the Subaru Impreza WRC 2002 livery and reduces build time. Ten-spoke wheels fitted with radial tyres improve road contact and add to the model's authentic stance, helping traction on a variety of sealed and lightly graded surfaces.

Practical Setup Tips and Electronics Notes

The TT-01 setup features a gear ratio of 8.35:1 and a bevel gear differential to balance speed and acceleration. The electric 540 motor provides reliable power, and the included electronic speed controller (CPR Unit) manages throttle and braking. For best results, use a 7.2V battery, which is not included with the kit.

The Tamiya 57717 - XB Subaru Impreza WRC 2002 is a solid choice for collectors and weekend racers who want a historically styled rally car with easy maintenance and upgrade paths.
