Classic Rally Recreated: Tamiya 58273 Subaru Impreza WRC 2001

The Tamiya 58273 Subaru Impreza WRC 2001 Kit pays homage to the famed rally machine from the early 2000s. Built at 1/10 scale, this kit captures the car driven by R. Burns and pairs a detailed polycarbonate shell with the proven TL-01 platform for an authentic assembly and driving experience.

TL-01 Chassis Overview

The TL-01 chassis is noted for straightforward construction and reliable durability, which makes it popular among club racers and weekend builders. Its shaft-driven 4WD layout delivers consistent traction while the independent double wishbone suspension improves cornering and composure at speed.

Drive and Build Features

Powered by a 540-brushed motor as supplied in the kit, the Tamiya 58273 balances efficient power delivery with predictable handling. Friction dampers and rubber radial tyres smooth out road irregularities, and the clear polycarbonate body gives a clean canvas for custom livery. An ESC is not included, but gear ratio and ride height can be altered for tuning.
