R/C Car, Subaru Impreza WRC

Anyone know where I can find one? Perferred electric, and I hear that there is an AWD version available as well... any help?

It's been a while since I really looked around their site, but if memory serves they have a nitro power 4WD, but I'm not sure about electric. They also have unpainted 02/03 WRC Impreza bodies for most of their chasis'.

I have a nitro one I got from CEN. It's sitting in my room with a broken rear suspension...stupid bumpy parking lots.

Goes 55, 2spd tranny...it's awesome.

In hindsight, i'd probably go with an HPI...as my local hobby shop doesnt carry parts for CEN.

If you like messing around with mechanics and stuff, I'd go with a nitro. Adjusting the carb, and playing around with the settings is fun.

Here's what mine looks like:

Except I took most of the stickers off. And swapped on gold rims.

I won one of these for being the fastest Subaru at the GRM Challenge this year. Looks just like Bwana's and Darksied's first pic.

The thing is awesome. AWD, 4 wheel independent suspension, can SERIOUSLY outrun our full sized race car on a straight away until it gets out of range. (it is probably doing well over 200mph to scale)

The boys have been a bit tough on it- including off-road rallying and on gravel. It has survived teenage boys- it should be able to survive almost anything.

It appears to be able to do almost anything Subaru's Rally Team seems to be able to do!!

I haven't gotten much time with it, but it is pretty cool.

I actually have been looking around for RC cars the past week so I can drift it and there are quite a few WRC shells out there.

One of the cheapest companies is Tamiya. I just bought a TT-01 with a 350z shell for $100.

Remember if you find a cheap car with another shell you can always switch shells.

Believe it or not, Wal-Mart has a decent looking WRX rally RC car.

Think you're going to need to build one. I do think someone made one (or had one made) in Japan.
