Tamiya 58435 Cusco Dunlop Subaru Impreza TA05V.2 Racing Kit  [58435]

Heritage on a Modern TA05V.2 Platform

The Tamiya 58435 - 1/10 RC Cusco Dunlop Subaru Impreza reproduces the iconic 2008 Super GT300 AWD entry with careful attention to period detail. The full-scale car made headlines with competitive results at Sepang, and this kit captures the visual and mechanical character of that racer for hobbyists and collectors.

TA05V.2 Chassis Engineering Highlights

The TA05V.2 chassis improves on earlier designs with a slimmer layout that increases ground clearance during tight cornering. The relocated battery tray helps balance the car, while front and rear 37T ball differentials paired with an 18T center pulley ensure consistent power transfer. Inboard suspension components, reversible arms and uprights, and 1050 ball bearings contribute to precise handling and reduced drivetrain friction.

Scale Bodywork and Assembly Details

The Cusco Dunlop Subaru Impreza body is molded in polycarbonate and includes separate parts such as mirrors, a pronounced rear wing, and front canards for realistic appearance. Building the kit is engaging for modelers, and the included Type 540 motor supplies reliable drive; you will need to add an ESC, a 2-channel radio system, and a battery pack to complete the car.

This Tamiya 58435 kit suits experienced racers and dedicated model builders who value an authentic replica and a chassis that responds well to setup changes on asphalt circuits.
