Miniature Tribute to the Team Holzer 1999 Rally Winner

The Tamiya 58259 1/10 Subaru Impreza German Rally Champion faithfully recreates the livery and profile of the Team Holzer Subaru that excelled in the 1999 German Rally Championships. The kit balances authentic appearance with a chassis built for predictable handling at scale speeds.

TB-01 Layout and Driving Characteristics

Powered by a shaft-driven full-time 4WD system, the TB-01 chassis offers consistent traction and stability. The four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension helps the model maintain composure through corners and over small undulations.

Detailed Shellwork and Durable Underpinnings

The polycarbonate body reflects the original car's lines while the ABS bathtub frame secures the drivetrain and electronics. With overall dimensions of 442mm by 186mm and 157mm front and rear tread, the replica presents accurate scale proportions. Tyres are 27mm wide with a 69mm diameter.

Maintenance and Upgrade Pointers

Use the included 540 Type Motor as a starting point and consider progressive upgrades like higher quality bearings, shocks, or a different motor for tailored performance. Fine-tuning gear ratios and tyre choice will help dial in handling for your preferred surface.
