Authentic WRC Replica with Nitro Heart

The Tamiya 43518 - 1/10 RC GP RTR 2004 Impreza WRC TGSR blends accurate scale detail with a nitro drive setup that appeals to rally fans. Its TGS-R chassis and FS-12SW engine deliver genuine engine note and chassis feedback, making it enjoyable on club tracks and forest stages.

Why the 2004 Impreza Still Matters

The 2004 Impreza that Petter Solberg drove combined chassis balance and aero improvements that translated into strong event pace. The model mirrors that era's technical gains and is a nod to a car that won rallies across varied terrain.

Assembly, Features and On-Stage Behaviour

Arriving fully assembled with the correct No. 1 Mexico livery, the model includes a durable TGS-R chassis with full bearings and oil dampers for controlled handling. It also features a recoil starter and Speed-Tuned Gear for routine operation, and its 441mm length reinforces scale authenticity.

Tamiya 43518 - 1/10 RC GP RTR 2004 Impreza WRC TGSR is a faithful, ready-to-run nod to a classic WRC car that performs well on mixed-surface running.

Can I run this on grass and dirt tracks?

Yes, the TGS-R chassis with oil dampers handles grass and compact dirt comfortably, though very soft surfaces may reduce traction compared to hard-packed stages.

What extra items should I carry to an event?

Bring spare glow plugs, basic tools, a bottle of nitro fuel and a starter system or battery for the recoil starter. A small parts kit with spare linkages and bearings is also handy.

Is the pre-painted body durable for club use?

The 0.8mm polycarbonate shell is robust for everyday rally use, but like any pre-painted body it will benefit from careful handling and occasional touch-ups after heavy duty running.

How user friendly is the recoil starter system?

The recoil starter simplifies cold starts and basic running; it is straightforward to use compared with handheld starters and works well for hobbyists at events.
