Tamiya 300058734 1:10 RC Citroen DS MB-01

Tamiya welcomes another R/C kit using the MB-01 chassis

this time, long wheelbase and front motor / front wheel drive (FF). This R/C kit recreates the Citroën DS which made its debut in 1955 and caught people’s attention with its innovative structure and style. Over 1,450,000 were sold up to 1975, and it became one of the betterknown
cars of the 20th century. This car was used as the official car for the President of France, and achieved the overall championship in 1966 global rallies. This kit recreates the early-period model featuring two rounded headlights.

About the Model

• This is a 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 419mm, width: 198mm, height: 137mm. Wheelbase: 239mm (Long wheelbase).
• The form of the Citroën DS is recreated in lightweight polycarbonate. Just like the actual vehicle, front tread is wider than the rear tread.
• Features 60mm front and rear tires. Use 60D tires when changing tires.
• Please note that export model bodies are not pre-painted (only domestic model bodies are pre-painted).

About the MB-01 chassis

The compact, 2WD MB-01 chassis gives a choice of three types of wheelbase, and front- or rear- wheel drive system. Without removing battery pack, motor and R/C equipment setups from the center frame, simply change attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage to switch between front- and rear-wheel drive; low or high motor position can be chosen for rear-wheel drive cars. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Unitized sections such as motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance.
