Tamiya 57713 1/10 Subaru Impreza WRC 2001 Rally Model  [57713]

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.
