The Tamiya Citroen DS (MB-01) is a 1/10 scale plastic model kit that builds a radio control replica of the iconic French classic car on Tamiya's MB-01 chassis. Kit number TAM58734, this RC car kit captures the distinctive silhouette of the Citroen DS in faithful detail while delivering a capable, low-slung chassis suited to on-road and light rally-style running. Assembly is required, making this a rewarding build for hobbyists comfortable with Tamiya kit construction — typically intermediate level, though experienced beginners who've built simpler kits will find it manageable. The finished model is a striking addition to any Tamiya collection and a fully functional RC car once electronics are fitted.
Key Features
- Built on Tamiya's MB-01 chassis, a platform designed for realistic 4WD on-road and light off-road performance with a low centre of gravity suited to the DS body style.
- The Citroen DS body shell is moulded in polycarbonate-style plastic with the characteristic swept roofline and wide rear haunches faithfully reproduced at 1/10 scale.
- Kit format means you assemble every component yourself, giving full familiarity with the drivetrain, suspension, and steering geometry before you ever put it on the road.
- Compatible with Tamiya's standard electronics ecosystem — motor, ESC, servo, receiver, and battery are sourced separately, letting you spec the car to your preferred performance level.
- Detailed decal sheet included to finish the body in a livery appropriate to the Citroen DS's rally and road heritage.
