We're delighted to announce the return of the ever popular WR8 family, in the form of the classic 2001 WRC Subaru Impreza, piloted to winthe Driver's Championship 20 years ago in 2001!Any rally fan will will recognise the illustrious blue and yellow livery as one of the most recognisable in the sport, and what better way to herald the return of HPI's fan favourite rally platform than with a classic Subaru Impreza!

This TT-02 kit features the Subaru Impreza rally car that took part in the Monte Carlo Rally of the 1999 World Rally Championship (WRC) season. The Impreza was a legendary force in the WRC from the 1990s and into the next millennium, with 3 manufacturers' championships in a row from 1995-1997. In 1999 they were still competitive with an impressive 1-2 finish for drivers Kankkunen and Burns in Argentina (round 7). The Tamiya RC Subaru Impreza Monte Carlo 99 from our great range of radio controlled cars, which has made a number of appearances on various Tamiya chassis platforms over the years, now makes its home on the entry level 4WD TT-02 chassis. This upgraded version, just like the standard, comes with solid compound drift tires and pre-mounted high performance wheels allowing you to perform the perfect controlled drift. This is further enhanced by the 4WD system for consistent drift on a wide variety of surfaces. All the adjustments for a perfect drift set-up are there: camber, toe-in, body level etc.How fitting then that under the officially licensed replica body, the 1/8th 4WD shaft driven WR8 is ready to go to work thrashing down the lanes in true WRC style. Powered by your choice of NITRO or brushless FLUX power! The WR8FLUX is powered by a massive 4000KV brushless motor and waterproof 3S-capable speed controller, delivering power through toughmetal gear differentials and the fully ball bearing-supported 4WD shaft drivetrain. If instant torque is your thing then the FLUXMMH-4000 motor delivers massive power at the blip of the throttle. Whilst theFLUXEMH-3S electronic speed control is able to handle the latest, 3S LiPobatteries in its stride.

The TT-02 chassis line-up is Tamiya's entry level 4WD platform. It allows new kit builders an easy gateway into the world of on-road running due to its easy construction, balanced performance and high aftermarket Hop-Up Option support.
