The Tamiya 58655 is a 1/10 scale RC kit of the Citroën 2CV Charleston, built on Tamiya's M-05 chassis and designed for hobbyists who enjoy assembling and running classic car-themed models on-road. The 2CV Charleston is one of the most recognisable French cars ever made, and Tamiya's recreation captures its distinctive rounded bodywork in faithful detail. This is a kit, not a ready-to-run model, so assembly is required before the car can be driven — making it well suited to intermediate builders who want a rewarding build alongside a capable M-05 platform. The M-05 chassis is a front-wheel-drive layout specifically designed for compact, short-wheelbase bodies, and it performs well on smooth indoor surfaces and sealed outdoor tracks.
