Tamiya 58538 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Team Arai TT-01E Rally Kit  [58538]

Rally Replica and Build: Tamiya 58538 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

Experience a piece of rally history with the Tamiya 58538 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Team Arai. This 1/10 scale kit recreates the Subaru campaigned by Toshihiro Arai at the 2011 Rally Hokkaido, and it sits on Tamiya's adaptable TT-01E chassis for a straightforward build and practical tuning options.

TT-01E Platform for Learning and Upgrades

The TT-01E platform is prized for its clear assembly steps and predictable on-road manners. Its shaft-driven 4WD layout helps keep the car stable, while fully independent double wishbone suspension and a bell-crank steering setup deliver reliable handling. The stock parts include friction dampers and plastic bushings, which provide a solid base that many builders replace as they progress.

Bodywork, Decals and Lighting Prep

The polycarbonate body balances visual accuracy with durability and trimming ease. The detailed sticker sheet lets you apply the Team Arai livery accurately, and the metal-plated light bucket cases improve realism for model displays. LED lighting kits can be added separately for night runs or show builds.

The Tamiya 58538 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Team Arai TT-01E kit suits hobbyists who want a faithful rally model that is easy to build and tune. It works well for newcomers learning setup basics and for experienced builders planning upgrades.
