The Tamiya Citroen DS 58734 reproduces the look and engineering spirit of the original 1950s saloon, celebrating its distinctive silhouette and period details in a buildable RC kit. This version reflects the early model with rounded headlights and a faithful body placed on the versatile MB-01 platform.
The MB-01 is the mechanical core of the kit, built for adjustment and performance. It supports three wheelbase positions and lets you swap between front-wheel and rear-wheel drive layouts without removing the battery or motor, which makes it handy for tuners. In the Citroen DS arrangement, the long wheelbase with front motor and front-wheel drive gives a true-to-life handling feel.
Assembly is approachable for newcomers because unitized parts like the motor mount and suspension simplify build steps. The four-wheel double wishbone suspension with friction dampers provides composed handling, and the wider front track mirrors the real car's stance. To tailor pace and acceleration, try different gear ratios using the kit's adjustable gearing options.
Against other classic-style kits, the Citroen DS stands out for its historical pedigree and unique body shape. Whereas some Tamiya models focus on modern off-road action, this DS leans into on-road character and period accuracy, making it a strong pick for collectors or track drivers wanting something different.
The Tamiya Citroen DS 58734 is a faithful 1/10 scale kit that balances period looks with a chassis made for tuning. It suits new builders who want a rewarding assembly and experienced hobbyists who value a distinctive on-road model.
