Scaled Rally Icon: Tamiya 58631-60A Subaru Impreza Monte Carlo 1999

The Tamiya 58631-60A faithfully recreates the 1999 Monte Carlo Subaru Impreza with a formed polycarbonate shell and accurate decal set. Separate mirror and rear wing pieces improve the finished look and simplify painting and detailing.

Why the TT-02 Is Popular

The TT-02 chassis delivers a practical and forgiving platform for this kit. Its shaft-driven 4WD keeps power distribution even and the layout with motor and battery on opposite sides helps balance the car. Using common suspension arms and uprights speeds up build time and the chassis offers two wheelbase positions plus adjustable ride height and track for different handling needs.

Drive Characteristics and Upgrades

Equipped with gold fin-spoke wheels and period rally tyres, the model mixes scale authenticity with usable performance. Brake disc hubs add a realistic touch and the wide range of gear ratios lets you tune the drive to suit motor choice. A Type 540 motor is specified and an ESC is recommended for modern throttle control, while friction dampers and four-wheel double wishbone suspension aid predictable handling.

Yes, the TT-02 is regarded as beginner friendly thanks to its simple parts layout and clear assembly steps, though care with trimming and painting the body is still required.

Which motor and ESC should I choose?

The kit uses a Type 540 motor. Pairing a suitable brushed or brushless replacement with a matched ESC gives better throttle control and durability depending on how you plan to run the car.

How easy is it to change gear ratios?

The TT-02 allows multiple gear ratio options; swapping pinion and spur gears or using the different factory settings will let you tune acceleration and top speed.
