Tamiya # 58734 1/10 R/C CITROEN DS (MB-01 CHASSIS)
This assembly kit creates an R/C model of the Citroën front-wheel drive saloon car DS which was honored with third place in the 1999 Car of the Century awards. In 1955, the Citroën DS was announced in Paris and it was sometimes dubbed the “spaceship’’ for its aerodynamic design. This model artfully captures that legendary styling with a lightweight polycarbonate body, based upon the compact 2WD of the MB-01 chassis. Chrome plated wheels are paired with radial tires.
The MB-01 Chassis
The compact, 2WD MB-01 chassis gives a choice of three types of wheelbase, and front- or rear- wheel drive system. This model employs a front-wheel drive setup. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Unitized sections such as motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance. What is more, without removing battery pack, motor and R/C equipment setups from the center frame, simply change attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage to switch between front- and rear-wheel drive; low or high motor position can be chosen for rear-wheel drive cars.
