Discover the Tamiya 58316 Subaru Impreza WRC 2003 on the TB-02 Platform

The Tamiya 58316 Subaru Impreza WRC 2003 faithfully recreates the early 2000s rally icon in 1/10 scale, mounted on the resilient TB-02 chassis. This kit captures the look and driving attitude of the competition Impreza while keeping assembly approachable for hobbyists who want an authentic model.

TB-02 Chassis Design and Handling Traits

The TB-02 chassis reflects Tamiya engineering with a reinforced bathtub frame derived from the TB Evolution III. It includes CVA dampers and a fully independent double wishbone setup on all four corners, giving predictable handling across a range of surfaces and emphasising stability for spirited driving.

Exterior Accuracy and Durable Shell

The polycarbonate body on the Tamiya 58316 mirrors the real 2003 Subaru Impreza WRC, including the large rear wing and aerodynamic details. The shell is tough enough for club runs and display, while retaining the scaled proportions and styling cues of the race car.

Drive Train and On-Track Characteristics

With a Type 540 motor and shaft-driven 4WD, the Tamiya 58316 delivers balanced power distribution and confident traction. The medium narrow slick tyres and 18-spoke rim design recall the OZ-style wheels fitted to the original car, offering good grip on sealed surfaces.

This Tamiya 58316 kit is a solid pick for model builders that want a period-correct WRC replica with durable components and a chassis that handles well on club tracks and smooth roads.

Assembly requires basic modelling skills and patience; the kit includes detailed parts but you will need to supply electronics and some tools.
Choose a compact ESC and a standard size steering servo compatible with a Type 540 motor and 4WD drive train to fit the chassis layout.
Yes, the TB-02 suspension and tyre profile work well on tarmac and hard-packed surfaces; softer or looser terrain may need tyre and setup changes.
