Authentic Rally Model: Tamiya 58538 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

Own a detailed replica with the Tamiya 58538 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Team Arai. This 1/10 scale kit reflects the rally car driven by Toshihiro Arai in the 2011 Rally Hokkaido and uses the dependable TT-01E chassis for straightforward builds and sensible upgrades.

TT-01E Chassis Characteristics

The TT-01E is favoured for its step-by-step assembly and consistent on-road behavior. Its shaft-driven four-wheel-drive keeps traction balanced while the fully independent double wishbone suspension and bell-crank steering provide stable steering feedback. The kit ships with friction dampers and plastic bushings, leaving room for incremental enhancements.

Durable Shell and Accurate Livery

The polycarbonate body is resilient and easy to trim, making it ideal for hobbyists who want to paint and apply decals. The included sticker sheet reproduces the Team Arai livery, and metal-plated light buckets add realism. LED lighting options can be added separately if desired.

The Tamiya 58538 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Team Arai TT-01E is a solid choice for modelers who like accurate rally styling with room to upgrade. It is suitable for those learning the hobby as well as tuners preparing performance mods.

Basic modelling tools such as side cutters, hobby knife, files and a small screwdriver set are usually enough. A pair of tweezers and plastic cement for decals also help.
The sticker sheet is detailed and fits the polycarbonate shell precisely. Take your time with placement and use a soft cloth to smooth bubbles.
With basic tuning and tyre choices for grip, the TT-01E can be competitive on on-road club tracks. Consider upgrading dampers and bearings for better lap times.
Yes, the polycarbonate body accepts standard polycarbonate paints. Use masking tape for clean lines and thin layers to avoid runs.
Radial tread rubber tyres work well on paved surfaces; if you want mixed-surface runs choose a tyre compound with more bite. Test different compounds for the best balance.
