Tamiya 58426 1/10 Subaru Impreza WRC 2008 TT-01E Kit  [58426]

Rally History Shrunk to 1/10 Scale

The 2008 World Rally Championship marked a key chapter for Subaru with the Impreza WRC debuting at the Acropolis Rally. Piloted by Petter Solberg, the car proved competitive with podium finishes, and Tamiya 58426 captures that rally pedigree in a buildable RC model.

Scale Accuracy and Build Quality

This 1/10 scale model reproduces the Impreza WRC bodylines in durable polycarbonate, preserving the aggressive aerodynamics and stance of the real car. The TT-01E platform gives a sturdy base that balances ease of assembly with credible on-track behaviour.

TT-01E Drive and Handling

The shaft-driven 4WD layout on the TT-01E improves traction and stability during spirited runs. Upgraded steering posts from TA05 add precision to the linkage, delivering predictable turn-in and better feedback for drivers tuning their setup.

Lighting Setup and Electronics

The kit includes the LED Light Unit TLU-01 prewired with two white and two red 5mm LEDs, and the design allows extra LEDs to be fitted into the front and rear housings. The supplied ESC (TEU-101BK) integrates cleanly with common hobby radio systems.

Upgrade Path and Options

Enthusiasts can customise suspension, drivetrain and cosmetic parts using a wide range of option parts for the Tamiya 58426. Whether improving handling or swapping finishes, the platform supports staged upgrades to suit different skill levels.

The Tamiya 58426 Subaru Impreza WRC 2008 kit suits collectors and builders who want an authentic rally replica with a proven chassis and simple upgrade routes.
