About 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. 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. 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.

These features combined to offer a driving experience that was unmatched by most other cars of the 1950s and 1960s.
-
Safety: The DS was designed with a strong focus on safety. Its unique body shape and construction provided excellent crash protection for occupants. Additionally, the car"s advanced suspension system contributed to its stability and handling characteristics, enhancing overall safety on the road.
-
Cultural Impact: The Citroën DS became an instant icon and a symbol of French automotive innovation and style. It was embraced by celebrities, intellectuals, and politicians alike, further cementing its status as a cultural icon. The car appeared in numerous films and works of art, further contributing to its legendary status.
-
Production and Legacy: The Citroën DS was produced from 1955 to 1975, with various models and updates introduced over the years. It remains highly regarded by automotive enthusiasts and collectors for its groundbreaking design, technological innovation, and timeless style. Today, well-maintained examples of the Citroën DS are sought after by collectors and can command premium prices on the classic car market.
Overall, the Citroën DS is celebrated as one of the most innovative and influential cars in automotive history, and its legacy continues to inspire designers and engineers to this day.
