The Tamiya Citroën DS MB-01 RC Car Kit brings the iconic masterpiece to life in stunning 1/10 scale detail. This assembly kit lets you build and recreate the incredible Citroën DS, a car that captivated the world with its aerodynamic design and groundbreaking technology. Tamiya has faithfully captured the car's futuristic elegance, from its sleek curves to its distinctive headlights.
Sitting on the versatile MB-01 chassis, a continuation of the popular M-chassis series. With the ability to choose from three types of wheelbases and a front or rear-wheel drive system, the MB-01 allows for multiple unique setups.
The MB-01 chassis is built with performance and customisability in mind. The MB-01 has a highly adjustable platform that's perfect for a variety of driving styles and can be adjusted to a wide range of wheelbase options, 209mm for short, 224mm for medium, and 239mm for long.
Additionally, you can set this versatile chassis up in a front wheel drive or rear wheel drive setting, making the MB-01 one of the most customisable machines!
The three-section steering system, operated by a long link rod connected to a rear-mounted servo, provides precise and responsive steering control for confident handling on a wide range of terrains.
The double wishbone suspension, with its symmetrical suspension arms, provides balanced handling and predictable performance. This design ensures consistent response and control, allowing you to hit the apex everything time.
Maintenance is a breeze thanks to the MB-01's unitised motor mount. Secured with just two screws, it allows for quick and easy access to the motor for adjustments or upgrades.
The rear left mounted motor delivers power directly to the rear wheels via a driveshaft, providing a classic rear-wheel-drive driving experience with fast and responsive acceleration and exciting handling.
Additionally, this central motor mounting position creates better weight bias.
The MB-01 chassis utilises the same durable 4-bevel differential gear as the TT-02 chassis, making access to replacement parts much easier. For those seeking further customisation, the differential can be upgraded with optional TT-02 ball differentials or oil-filled gear differentials.
Designed for hassle-free battery replacement, the MB-01 features an innovative flip-up battery holder. This clever design allows you to quickly swap out batteries without any fuss, keeping the action going.
