Iconic Rally Styling Meets Practical RC Engineering

The Tamiya 57704 - 1/10 XB Subaru Impreza WRC '99 captures the look of a late 1990s rally car while delivering a practical build experience. Built on the TL-01 chassis, the car provides a sturdy base that balances performance with ease of maintenance. The shaft-driven 4WD and sealed differential units help preserve traction and reliability in varied conditions.

What the TL-01 Chassis Brings

The TL-01 uses a monocoque frame that keeps weight low and stiffness high, improving responsiveness. Its double wishbone suspension and four friction dampers absorb bumps and help maintain tyre contact over tarmac and rough stages. The chassis layout is well suited to typical rally running and tuning work.

Drive System and Controls

This replica features a mid-mounted Type 540 motor for balanced handling and usable power. Steering and speed are managed by a wheel-type Adspec GP transmitter and a mechanical speed controller, making the system accessible for tuning. Batteries and chargers are sold separately so you can choose the right power setup for your driving style.
