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

Recreated period styling in compact RC form

The Tamiya Citroen DS 58734 brings the landmark 1950s saloon to a 1/10 scale RC kit, recreating its distinctive rounded front and elegant profile. This model echoes the early DS variants and sits on the adaptable MB-01 chassis for authentic proportions and stance.

What the MB-01 chassis offers

The MB-01 chassis provides a platform aimed at flexibility and user tuning. It has three selectable wheelbase positions and allows swapping between front-wheel and rear-wheel drive without removing the battery or motor, which is great for experimenters. For the DS body, the long wheelbase combined with a front motor and front-wheel drive delivers period-correct handling traits.

Assembly pointers and on-track notes

Assembly is straightforward thanks to unitised elements such as the motor mount and suspension units. The kit uses four-wheel double wishbone suspension with friction dampers for a stable ride, and the wider front track mirrors the original car's geometry. To refine acceleration or top speed, change gear ratios using the kit's adjustable gearing options.

Positioning among classic kits

Compared with other vintage-style RCs, this Citroen DS stands out for its historical character and distinctive silhouette. While some models chase modern off-road thrills, the DS leans into on-road authenticity, appealing to collectors and drivers who want a period feel on tarmac.

The Tamiya Citroen DS 58734 is a rewarding kit that blends classic looks with a chassis made for tinkering. It is suitable for newcomers who want a credible vintage model and for experienced modders keen on on-road character.
