Scale Rally Model: Tamiya 58538 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

Build a detailed rally car with the Tamiya 58538 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Team Arai. This 1/10 scale assembly kit mirrors the car driven by Toshihiro Arai in the 2011 Rally Hokkaido and is mounted on the well-known TT-01E chassis for straightforward construction and setup.

What the TT-01E Chassis Provides

The TT-01E chassis is valued for its easy-to-follow build process and solid on-road performance. Its shaft-driven 4WD arrangement offers balanced traction, while fully independent double wishbone suspension and bell-crank steering produce dependable handling. The kit's friction dampers and plastic bushings form a reliable baseline for everyday running.

Scale Looks and Practical Details

The polycarbonate body is strong and trims cleanly, allowing accurate painting and decal application. The sticker sheet recreates the Team Arai livery, and metal-plated light bucket cases improve appearance. LEDs are available separately for those who want working lights.

No, the assembly kit requires separate radio gear, servo, motor and battery. The chassis accepts standard 540-size motors and a compatible ESC.
Use paints formulated for polycarbonate bodies. These adhere properly and flex with the shell, giving robust finishes for trim and livery work.
Upgrading to ball bearings and oil-filled dampers gives a noticeable improvement in efficiency and handling. Better tyres also help more than many other changes.
Yes, provided the motor and ESC physically fit and gearing is adjusted. Check mount compatibility and gear mesh before fitting a brushless setup.
