Overview

Please Note:

This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with an unpainted body that may require cutting, painting and drilling.

The Citroën DS, unveiled in 1955, was a revolutionary masterpiece that captured hearts with its otherworldly, aerodynamic design and technological marvels. It pioneered features far ahead of its time, like its hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension that delivered an unbelievably smooth ride. This, coupled with innovations like inboard disc brakes and directional headlights, solidified the DS as a legendary icon of automotive innovation and enduring style. Even today, its futuristic elegance still commands a presence.

Tamiya has recreated this fantastic vehicle in 1/10 RC goodness ready for you to build and drive.

Note

This kit comes without an ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter. It will come with an unpainted polycarbonate shell that may require cutting, painting and drilling.

Highlights

Compact Design

Compact Design

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!

Three Section Steering System

Three Section Steering System

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.

Double Wishbone Suspension

Double Wishbone Suspension

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.

Easy Maintenance

Easy Maintenance

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.

Centre Motor Mounting

Centre Motor Mounting

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.

TT-02 Differentials

TT-02 Differentials

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.

Quick Battery Swaps

Quick Battery Swaps

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.
