Tamiya 58655-60A Citroen 2CV Charleston M-05 Classic Kit  [58655-60A]

Heritage Model: Tamiya Citroen 2CV Charleston

The Tamiya 58655-60A kit captures the charm of the Citroen 2CV Charleston at 1/10 scale, combining a sculpted polycarbonate body with the nimble M-05 front-wheel drive chassis. The kit balances period styling with easy-to-follow assembly for RC fans.

From Road Car to Model

The original 2CV was famed for simple mechanics and broad usability, with millions built over four decades. This kit highlights the 1982 Charleston cues, reproducing features such as the front bumper support and mirror layout to keep the scale look faithful.

Chassis Design and Handling

Tamiya's M-05 uses a semi-monocoque resin frame that houses drivetrain parts efficiently and helps lower the centre of gravity. With a 239mm wheelbase and independent double wishbone suspension, the chassis is set up for stable, predictable on-road handling.

Options for Builders

There are many Hop-Up Option parts available to modify gearing, steering response and suspension behaviour. The kit mentions the Tamiya TBLE-02S ESC as an option for those running brushless or brushed motors, enabling a variety of electronic setups.

For scale display and relaxed on-road driving, the Citroen 2CV Charleston kit offers a faithful look and a chassis that is easy to tune and maintain.
