Tamiya Impreza 4WD TT-02 Monte-Carlo '99 1/10 On-Road Electric Kit

The 1999 Subaru Impreza rally car version was a highly balanced beast, featuring a 4-cylinder turbocharged all-aluminum boxer engine, a drive-by-wire throttle, and a semi-automatic 6-speed transmission. This R/C model assembly kit recreates the Impreza from the year's opening rally in Monte-Carlo, with the form faithfully depicted in durable polycarbonate, and separate parts used to recreate the rear wing and side mirrors. Stickers are included to recreate the multitude of team and sponsor logos.

The model runs on the adaptable TT-02 chassis, which is equally at home on road and flat dirt surfaces. The shaft-driven 4WD TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout, with the battery on the left and the motor on the right, to give excellent stability. In addition, it features identical left and right suspension arms and uprights for ease of assembly, plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It is a highly adaptable chassis, as it offers 2 different wheelbases, 2 ground clearance settings, and 2 tread set-ups, in addition to a range of 10 possible gear ratios. The chassis is not short on looks either, with brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports. Gold color fin-spoke wheels are paired with rally block tires.

The TT-02 chassis is highly versatile, catering to both road and off-road environments. Its longitudinal layout, with the battery and motor strategically positioned, ensures excellent stability during dynamic driving. The identical suspension arms and uprights simplify assembly, while the easy-to-maintain gearboxes contribute to the chassis' user-friendliness. The adaptable nature of the TT-02 is further enhanced by the availability of multiple wheelbase, ground clearance, and tread set-up options, as well as a wide range of gear ratios, allowing for customization to suit various terrains and driving preferences.

The model's appearance is equally impressive, with the brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports adding a touch of visual appeal. The gold color fin-spoke wheels, paired with rally block tires, further accentuate the model's rally-inspired design. Overall, the 1999 Subaru Impreza rally car R/C model, with its faithful recreation and the versatile TT-02 chassis, promises an engaging and customizable driving experience.
