What do I need to complete the Tamiya Citroen 2CV Rally kit?

You need a two-channel radio with receiver, a steering servo, an electronic speed controller, a 7.2V stick battery or suitable pack, and a charger. Paint and basic tools are also needed for the body.

Is the M05RA good for off-road driving?

It handles gravel, dirt paths and short grass thanks to longer suspension travel and rally tires. It is not a rock crawler or a heavy-terrain buggy.

How does it compare with the standard M05?

The M05RA adds rally suspension arms, more ground clearance and rally tires. The standard M05 sits lower and corners more sharply on smooth tarmac.

What scale is this model?

It is a 1/10 scale kit on the M-chassis platform, which is smaller than a full-size touring car. The finished body is roughly 380mm long.

Can I upgrade the motor and electronics?

Yes. The chassis accepts standard 540-size motors, and Tamiya offers hop-ups for bearings, shocks and steering. Keep to a mild motor to protect the front-drive gearbox.
