Timeless Bodywork on a Tweakable Platform

The Tamiya Citroen DS 1/10 captures the graceful lines of the original Citroen DS while mounting that style on Tamiya's modern MB-01 chassis. This kit is aimed at modellers who want an authentic appearance plus a chassis that responds to setup changes.

MB-01 Versatility for Setup Fans

The MB-01 chassis is designed for flexibility, offering three wheelbase settings and motor placement options that let you tune weight distribution. The kit's long wheelbase and front-motor, front-wheel-drive layout provide a traditional driving feel while allowing room for adjustments.

Simple Assembly with Accurate Detail

Pre-finished Tamiya Blue polycarbonate and tinted glazing speed up the build, while precision cut mounting points help align the body neatly. Decals and final trimming let builders add personality without complex painting work.

Can I run this model with modern LiPo batteries?

The kit lists the HobbyWing THW 1060 ESC suitable for 2-3S, so compatible LiPo packs can be used if they fit the chassis and you observe safe charging and power limits.

Is additional painting required for a display finish?

No major painting is needed since the body arrives pre-painted, but modelers often add small details or weathering to personalise the look.

What servo size is recommended for steering?

A standard size servo with around 8-10 kgcm torque is a good starting point for reliable steering performance on this chassis.

Are spare body shells available separately?

Tamiya and aftermarket vendors sometimes offer replacement bodies or spares; check parts lists and hobby stores for compatible shells and trim sets.
