Retro Street Runner - Tamiya 58655 - 1/10 Citroen 2CV Charleston M05 RC Kit  [58655]

Scale Nostalgia Coupled with Compact M-05 Chassis

The Citroen 2CV Charleston has long been a symbol of quirky, practical motoring. Tamiya captures that lighthearted silhouette in polycarbonate while mounting it on the compact M-05 platform. The result is a kit that celebrates the original car while offering tidy, modern RC engineering.

Faithful Bodywork for Scale Enthusiasts

Introduced in the postwar era and produced through to 1990, the 2CV became famous for its simple, utilitarian design. Tamiya's version mirrors the defining curves and proportion of the Charleston, allowing modellers to recreate that classic look at 1/10 scale.

Efficient M-05 Chassis Design

The M-05 is noted for its lightweight construction and narrow stance, which promote predictable front-wheel-drive handling. The semi-monocoque resin frame keeps assembly straightforward, making this chassis suitable for newcomers and experienced builders alike.

Thoughtful Component Layout for Driving Balance

Careful placement of the gearbox, motor, battery pack, receiver, servo and ESC helps maintain balanced handling. The four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension and three-piece steering linkage contribute to stable cornering and crisp steering input.

Wheels and Tyres That Match the Era

Finished in gun metal, the 11-spoke wheels are fitted with tread-pattern radial tyres and inserts to improve contact and consistency. This wheel and tyre combination supports both scale appearance and reliable traction on smooth roads.

Collectors and scale drivers who like authentic styling with a compact, user-friendly chassis will find the Tamiya Citroen 2CV Charleston a satisfying project and a pleasant handler on smooth surfaces.
