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.

They are trustworthy, honest, helpful
The kit is best suited to intermediate builders; someone comfortable with precise assembly and small fasteners will find it straightforward, while beginners should allow extra time for learning techniques.
A sensibly rated brushed ESC matched to a Type 540 motor is recommended, and either a 7.2V NiMH pack or a compatible LiPo with the correct connector and mounting size will work.
Slick or low-tread touring car tyres tuned to your local surface provide the best grip; consider soft compounds for short, technical tracks and harder compounds for longer life.
Start with a higher quality slipper or clutch adjustment, tune suspension geometry, and fit matched tyres; later add a brushless motor and compatible ESC for a bigger performance step.
