Rally Heritage Recreated in 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya 57717 - XB Subaru Impreza WRC 2002 captures the look and presence of the WRC contender in a scale model. With the TT-01 chassis beneath it, the car keeps assembly accessible while delivering the visual cues that make classic rally cars so appealing to modelers.

TT-01 Platform: Built for Reliable Driving

The TT-01 chassis offers a balanced mix of durability and simplicity. A shaft-driven 4WD layout ensures steady traction, and the independent wishbone suspension helps maintain composure through corners. Plastic coil-over friction dampers absorb impacts and are straightforward to service trackside.

Precision Bodywork and Running Gear

The pre-cut, painted polycarbonate body provides an authentic silhouette and reduces finishing time. Fitted with 10-spoke wheels and radial tyres, the model benefits from improved traction and a rally-correct appearance across sealed and light dirt surfaces.

Setup Guidance and Powertrain Details

The TT-01 drivetrain uses an 8.35:1 gear ratio paired with a bevel gear differential to balance acceleration and top speed. The included electric 540 motor and CPR Unit ESC form a familiar, serviceable power system; a 7.2V battery is recommended but must be purchased separately.
