Classic WRC Performance in a Compact Model

The Tamiya 57713 - 1/10 XB Subaru Impreza WRC 2001 delivers a compact representation of a famous rally car with practical engineering under the shell. Built on the TL-01 chassis, it balances straightforward maintenance with reliable on-track manners, making it attractive to hobby drivers who prefer tinkering and tuning.

TL-01 Chassis and Power Delivery

The TL-01 employs a shaft-driven full-time 4WD system to share torque across all wheels for steady traction. Sealed gearboxes at the front and rear protect the differentials, supporting smooth gear action and long-term durability. The monocoque-inspired structure keeps weight down while retaining necessary rigidity.

Handling and Suspension Characteristics

With a double wishbone suspension layout and four friction dampers, this model aims to reproduce rally-like body control and grip. The geometry offers stable steering feedback and predictable behaviour on mixed surfaces, useful for drivers moving between tarmac and loose sections.

Heritage and Real-World Context

The full-size Subaru Impreza WRC 2001 is known for its rally successes and solid engineering. The Tamiya 57713 mirrors the car's visual cues and provides a faithful miniature experience that appeals to fans of classic rally machines.

Tamiya 57713 is suitable for modelers who enjoy historically inspired cars and a chassis that can be upgraded over time; it performs well on club tracks after basic setup adjustments.

Basic assembly and a simple shock setup are required; once the radio and battery are installed the car is ready for shakedown runs and minor alignment tweaks.
Yes, various hop-up parts and tuned components exist for the TL-01 layout, including upgraded springs, damper options and stronger drivetrain parts to improve longevity and handling.
The printed polycarbonate shell is durable for regular driving, though care is advised on rough terrain to avoid cracking; protective bumpers or reinforced mounts can help if you plan heavy off-road use.
A 2-channel pistol grip radio is supplied with the model, but you will need to provide the main drive battery and receiver batteries separately.
