For enthusiasts who appreciate the art of R/C car driving combined with stunning scale realism, the Kyosho 300 Sel Mercedes delivers an unmatched experience. Built upon the refined FAZER Mk2 chassis, this model elevates touring car performance to new heights. Kyosho has meticulously redesigned its standard chassis, achieving enhanced maintenance efficiency and reduced weight through a simplified structure with fewer components. Simultaneously, core strength and rigidity are significantly boosted by incorporating advanced materials and strategic ribbing and stiffeners throughout the front and rear. This symmetrical chassis design works in perfect harmony with the suspension to create exceptional front-rear balance and responsive handling, regardless of the power source you choose. Equipped with front and rear gear differentials, oil-filled shocks, and full ball bearings, the chassis offers remarkable durability and impact resistance, allowing drivers to fully explore its performance potential. Versatility is further enhanced by brake disc wheel hubs with two offset options (0mm, +5mm), ensuring compatibility with both 190mm and 200mm body widths. Moreover, the wheelbase can be adjusted to 260mm (with separately sold parts) to accommodate various 1/10 scale body styles, adding to the adaptability of this exceptional RC car. The Readyset package arrives fully assembled, requiring only a battery and charger for the chassis, and batteries for the transmitter to get you driving.
