Description
Build and experience the Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRX STI Team Arai Electric RC Car, an assembly kit modeled after the 2011 APRC Hokkaido Championship vehicle. The 5-door hatchback body is accurately formed in polycarbonate and features sharp over fenders, a separate roof air intake, and distinctive square door mirrors. White, red, and blue graphics together with sponsor mark stickers recreate the memorable rally-car style.
Its XV-01 chassis uses front-motor stability and belt-driven 4WD for confident performance on paved roads and dirt surfaces. Rally block tires with inner sponges and 16-spoke wheels deliver an authentic off-road appearance and driving feel. This Tamiya Subaru Impreza kit is intended for RC hobbyists aged 15 and older who enjoy assembly, painting, and customizing a detailed electric rally car with included kit components.

How to use
Complete assembly and paint the kit before operating it. You must add the required transmitter, RC electronics, running battery, charger, and four AA transmitter batteries because these items are not included. Operate the car only in a broad, safe RC location, such as an appropriate circuit. Do not drive on public roads, around crowds, in parks, near small children, schools, hospitals, homes, or other places where it could inconvenience others. Avoid narrow indoor areas and do not operate it at night or during early morning hours.
Care instructions
Following dirt driving, check the chassis, tires, suspension, gear boxes, belt section, and drainage openings, then clear away any collected dirt or stones. Keep the assembled car in a clean, dry location and protect the body and chassis during storage. Never run the car without the necessary compatible electronics and power source. Paint, glue, oil, grease, tools, batteries, charger, transmitter, and RC electronics are not included.
