Vintage Design Paired with a Flexible Chassis

The Tamiya Citroen DS 1/10 brings the classic DS profile into the RC hobby with careful attention to original lines and proportions. This release celebrates the car's innovative past while mounting it on the adaptable MB-01 chassis for practical on-track or display use.

Chassis Choices for Setup and Balance

The MB-01 chassis is built around versatility, supporting different wheelbases and motor placements to alter handling. The long wheelbase with a front-motor, front-wheel-drive arrangement in this kit offers predictable steering behaviour, and the chassis accepts midship motor swaps for balance experiments.

Fast Assembly, Realistic Finish

Pre-painted Tamiya Blue bodywork and tinted windows reduce painting steps, letting builders focus on fitting electronics and trims. Nicely cut arches and body mount locations help even novice builders get clean panel gaps and accurate alignment.

Do I need to paint the body on this kit?

No painting is required for the main shell since the polycarbonate body comes pre-painted in Tamiya Blue, though you may add decals or minor touch ups for realism.

Is the MB-01 chassis good for upgrades?

Yes, the MB-01 is popular for its upgrade potential. You can swap motors, change wheelbase settings, and upgrade servos and shocks to refine handling.

What tyres are fitted and are spares available?

The kit uses 60mm tyres front and rear. Tamiya and aftermarket suppliers offer replacement tyres and foam inserts to suit this size.

Will the model handle on rough surfaces?

The MB-01's independent suspension helps on uneven ground, but keep expectations realistic since the model is aimed at road style running rather than heavy off-road use.
