Historic WRC Replica for the Workbench

The Subaru Impreza WRC returned to prominence in 2008, delivering solid results with drivers like Petter Solberg. Tamiya 58426 translates that rally heritage into a compact model for hobbyists interested in accurate replicas and practical performance.

Faithful Bodywork and Finish

The polycarbonate shell reproduces the Impreza's proportions and aerodynamic elements, ready for painting and decals. The TT-01E chassis complements the body with a layout designed for stability and straightforward servicing.

Chassis Mechanics and Response

With a shaft-driven 4WD system, the TT-01E promotes steady traction and controllable handling. The TA05-style steering posts sharpen steering input for more precise cornering when compared to basic steering setups.

Factory Lighting and Electronics

The model includes the LED Light Unit TLU-01 fitted with two white and two red 5mm LEDs and provision for additional lights in the dedicated housings. The TEU-101BK ESC comes included to simplify electronics installation.

Modular Upgrades and Parts

Owners can enhance the Tamiya 58426 with a variety of option parts to suit racing or display needs. From suspension tweaks to drivetrain improvements, the kit is a solid base for staged upgrades.

Will the kit run on LiPo batteries?

You can fit LiPo packs if your ESC supports them and you use an appropriate battery strap and balance charging, taking care to match voltage and size limits.

How do I protect the painted body in use?

Use a clear protective coat on the paint and consider a thin layer of vinyl or adhesive film in high-wear areas to guard against chips during running.

Which servo size fits best for steering?

A mid-torque hobby servo with metal gears provides reliable steering control; choose a compact form factor to ensure it fits within the TT-01E servo tray without modification.

Is the kit suitable for display builds as well as running?

Yes, the accurate bodywork and detailing make the Tamiya 58426 a good candidate for display, while the TT-01E chassis still allows it to be fully functional on track or road.
