Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRC 2008 Model for Rally Fans

Build a faithful 1/10 scale version of the Subaru Impreza WRC 2008 with this Tamiya kit. The model reflects key moments from the 2008 WRC season and delivers an authentic rally modelling experience for enthusiasts who enjoy hands-on setup.

DF-03Ra Platform and Drivetrain Traits

The DF-03Ra chassis uses a shaft-driven 4WD arrangement and a longitudinal motor to help balance handling. Ball differentials at both ends and full ball bearings reduce drivetrain friction and improve longevity under rally use.

Suspension Travel and Shock Details

Designed to cope with rough terrain, the front and rear use CVA Damper Super Mini shocks to control rebound and compression. The system provides good stroke length and the rear arm adjustability supports short wheelbase setups when required.

Adjustment and Gear Choices

The kit includes threaded upper arms for camber tuning and provides three selectable gear ratios: 8.22:1, 7.90:1, and 7.45:1. Two spur gears (78T, 75T) and two pinions (29T, 32T) are supplied so you can dial in your preferred acceleration or top speed balance.

The Tamiya 58430 Subaru Impreza WRC 2008 is a solid kit for modellers who want a realistic rally build with room for setup changes. It works well as an entry rally car or as a base for more focused upgrades.

The chassis offers several tuning points, including camber via threaded upper arms, adjustable rear arm positions and multiple gear ratios to alter drive characteristics.
The Type 540 motor included gives reliable baseline performance; pairing it with an appropriate ESC and battery will make it suitable for most club-level rally layouts.
Yes, the adjustable rear suspension arms allow short wheelbase bodies to be mounted, giving you flexibility to try alternate shells if they match the chassis mounting points.
Inspect drivetrain and bearings regularly, clean grit from moving parts and refresh lubrication on gears and diff bearings to maintain smooth operation.
