Faithful Rally Replica for Enthusiasts

The Tamiya 57717 - XB Subaru Impreza WRC 2002 brings a piece of rally history to the model garage with convincing detail and robust construction. Mounted on the TT-01 chassis, this example keeps assembly and maintenance approachable while delivering a believable driving experience.

TT-01 Chassis Characteristics

The TT-01 chassis is known for dependable behaviour and ease of setup. It uses a shaft-driven 4WD system to spread power evenly, and independent wishbone suspension to maintain tyre contact. The basic plastic coil-over friction dampers are simple to adjust and maintain.

High Detail Polycarbonate Bodywork

The pre-cut and decorated polycarbonate shell reproduces the Subaru Impreza WRC 2002 appearance and reduces finishing work. The 10-spoke wheels paired with radial tyres improve grip characteristics and complete the authentic rally look on smooth and lightly rutted surfaces.

Drivetrain Facts and Practical Advice

Featuring an 8.35:1 gear ratio and a bevel gear differential, the TT-01 drivetrain balances acceleration with controllable top speed. The included electric 540 motor and CPR Unit speed controller provide a straightforward power solution; source a 7.2V battery to get the model running as batteries are not included.
