Tamiya 58316 Subaru Impreza WRC 2003 Replica Kit TB-02  [58316]

Introducing the Tamiya 58316 Subaru Impreza WRC 2003 on TB-02

The Tamiya 58316 Subaru Impreza WRC 2003 reproduces the classic rally silhouette in 1/10 scale on the TB-02 chassis. The kit is aimed at modellers who want accurate bodywork combined with a chassis that performs on sealed and hard-packed surfaces.

Chassis Layout and Suspension Behaviour

The TB-02 layout uses a strengthened bathtub frame influenced by the TB Evolution III, fitted with CVA dampers and independent double wishbone suspension. This arrangement provides controlled handling and absorbency over bumpy sections and smoother circuits alike.

Scale-Correct Body and Aerodynamic Details

The polycarbonate body keeps the visual features of the 2003 WRC Subaru intact, including the large rear wing and race-oriented aerodynamics. It is durable for club use and can be painted and detailed to match historic liveries.

Powertrain and Wheel Setup

Powered by a Type 540 motor and shaft-driven 4WD, the Tamiya 58316 offers reliable drive and balanced traction. The medium narrow slick tyres and 18-spoke wheels evoke the original OZ designs, working well on tarmac tracks and prepared surfaces.

For builders who prioritise a faithful rally model with a capable chassis, the Tamiya 58316 balances realistic appearance and practical performance for weekend running.
