Authentic Citroen DS Styling with Tunable Underpinnings

The Tamiya Citroen DS 1/10 reproduces the elegant lines of the original vehicle at a scale suitable for display and light road running. Tamiya pairs the classic body with the MB-01 chassis to offer both period aesthetics and practical setup options.

MB-01 Chassis Features and Adjustability

The MB-01 is built for adaptability, featuring multiple wheelbase positions and motor placement options so you can tailor balance and handling. This kit uses the long wheelbase and front-motor, front-wheel-drive arrangement for a stable driving character while leaving room for changes.

User Friendly Assembly and Detail Work

With a factory-painted polycarbonate shell in Tamiya Blue and tinted windows, builders can spend less time painting and more time refining fitment and trim. Cut lines and body mount locations are positioned to help achieve clean gaps and accurate alignment.

The Tamiya Citroen DS 1/10 is a strong choice for anyone after a faithful period model with a flexible chassis. It suits both collectors who want a faithful miniature and modellers who enjoy setup work.

What level of modelling skill is needed?

The kit is manageable for hobbyists with basic modelling experience; the pre-painted shell reduces painting work but you should be comfortable with electronics fitting and trimming decals.

Are spare tyres and wheels standard sizes?

The tyres are 60mm front and rear, which are common sizes; replacements and upgrade wheels are widely available from Tamiya and aftermarket suppliers.

Can the MB-01 be converted to rear-wheel drive?

Yes, the MB-01 chassis accepts different drive configurations. Converting requires following the chassis manual and may need additional parts depending on the setup chosen.

Is an ESC included with the kit?

The kit specifies the HobbyWing THW 1060 Brushed Motor ESC (2-3S) as included, so you should have ESC support for standard brushed setups out of the box.
