Kyosho 31042K Scale Tribute to a WRC Icon

The Kyosho 31042K reproduces the Subaru Impreza WRC 2008 as a 1/9 scale nitro kit aimed at enthusiasts who value accurate styling and adjustable performance. It is a compact yet capable representation of a championship rally car.

Controlled Power and Responsiveness

Equipped with the GXR18 and a recoil starter for reliable ignition, the Kyosho 31042K uses a separate-type clutch to deliver predictable acceleration. The full-time 3-differential 4WD system helps maintain grip through high-speed turns and technical sections.

Balance, Suspension and Repairability

The long wheelbase and low centre of gravity enhance directional stability, while independent suspension provides composure over uneven terrain. Replaceable suspension arms and knuckles keep repairs straightforward for regular runners.

Scale Details with Functional Parts

From rally tyres to clear-lens headlights, components are chosen for a blend of realism and function. The large air cleaner supports engine longevity and dual disk brakes offer adjustable stopping power to suit different driving preferences.

Recreating the 2008 Rally Presence

The Kyosho 31042K echoes the Subaru Impreza WRC 2008 in stance and livery, celebrating the car's technical improvements such as the longer wheelbase and improved balance while delivering a hands-on RC rally experience.

Start with tyre compound and shock damping adjustments, then refine camber and ride height to suit the surface for noticeable handling gains.
Yes. The accurate bodywork and clear details make it a fine display piece, and the mechanical layout means you can run it without compromising scale looks.
