Vintage Citroen DS Body for Scale RC Projects

The Tamiya 51730 Citroen DS body set adds a classic coupe silhouette to 1/10 MB-01 based RC cars. It suits hobbyists who favour period styling and scale accuracy on road-going models.

Construction and Painting Preparation

Made from polycarbonate to balance strength and low weight, the body includes separate metal-plated plastic bumpers and headlights for an authentic look. Marking and masking stickers are provided to streamline paintwork and detailing.

Compatibility Notes and Kit Contents

Engineered for the MB-01 M-chassis, this body fits a long 239mm wheelbase and comes with the necessary attachment parts plus front wide tread wheel axles to aid a neat installation on compatible MB-01 models.

Will the body clear standard MB-01 electronics?

Yes, the shell is shaped to clear typical MB-01 electronics layouts, but check servo and receiver antenna routing before finalising battery placement.

How do I protect painted areas during assembly?

Keep the included masking stickers aside and use low-tack tape to shield paint while fitting trim pieces; handle the body on padded surfaces to avoid scuffs.

Can I install LED headlights with this shell?

There is space to fit small LED units behind the headlight openings, but you may need to create mounting points and route thin wires carefully to keep the interior tidy.
