Tamiya 58734 - 1/10 Citroen DS MB-01 Saloon Model Kit  [58734]

Period saloon recreated for the RC hobbyist

The Tamiya Citroen DS 58734 recreates the distinctive presence of the original 1950s saloon in a buildable 1/10 scale model. The kit reflects early DS styling cues and is mounted on the adaptable MB-01 chassis to preserve authentic proportions.

MB-01 chassis features and flexibility

The MB-01 serves as a versatile base, designed for adjustability and straightforward maintenance. It offers three wheelbase choices and lets you shift between front-wheel and rear-wheel drive layouts without removing the battery or motor, enabling quick configuration changes. For this DS conversion the long wheelbase with a front motor and front-wheel drive gives a faithful ride feel.

Setup guidance for realistic handling

Assembly is friendly for those new to kits thanks to unitised components such as the motor mount and suspension modules. The car uses a four-wheel double wishbone suspension with friction dampers to tame road imperfections, while the broader front track echoes the real car's stance. To fine tune performance, adjust the gearing to match your preferred running conditions.

Where the DS sits among classic models

The Citroen DS stands out among retro RCs for its historical significance and singular shape. Where some hobby models aim for off-road capability, the DS emphasises on-road authenticity, making it a good option for collectors and drivers after a classic appeal.

The Tamiya Citroen DS 58734 combines era-correct styling with a chassis engineered for adjustment, appealing to both model builders seeking a display-quality project and drivers who enjoy vintage on-road handling.
