Cusco Dunlop Subaru Impreza Model - Tamiya 58439

The Tamiya 58439 Cusco Dunlop Subaru Impreza model captures the spirit of the 2008 Super GT300 car that claimed victory at Sepang and strong qualifying results at Suzuka and Fuji. The prototype used a horizontally opposed DOHC turbocharged engine and stood out as the sole AWD entry in the series.

TT-01 Type-E chassis - dependable handling and setup

The heart of the kit is the TT-01 Type-E chassis, featuring a shaft-driven 4WD system that gives predictable handling and easy setup. Its durable layout makes it a good starting point for those new to RC touring builds and a stable foundation for tuning by experienced users. Fitted wheels and tyres complete the period-correct look.

Scale-correct bodywork and lighting system

The polycarbonate body reproduces the aggressive race profile, and detailed fittings such as side mirrors, rear wing and metal-plated light cases enhance realism. The model includes LED lights for authentic night-time running; the TLU-01 comes standard and the optional TLU-02 can be fitted for extended lighting options.

The Tamiya Cusco Dunlop Subaru Impreza TT-01E offers a faithful scale replica on a chassis that responds well to incremental upgrades. It appeals to model collectors and competitive hobbyists who value realism and tuning potential.

Start with tyre and shock adjustments for improved grip. Upgrading differentials and adding stiffer springs are common next steps to refine handling.
The Type 540 motor is suitable for casual track runs. For competitive club racing you may consider a higher performance motor and matched gearing.
The clear polycarbonate body must be trimmed from the moulding and masked before painting. Plan your paint sequence and use compatible polycarbonate paints for best results.
Tamiya option parts and spares are widely available for the TT-01 chassis, covering suspension, drivetrain and cosmetic items to keep the model running and looking sharp.
Route wires along the chassis using cable ties or clips and secure connections with heatshrink or tape. Test the lights before fitting the body to avoid access issues.
