The “1971 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3,” a flagship model from Mercedes-Benz produced between 1968 and 1971, is iconic for its powerful 6.3-liter V8 engine and was famously nicknamed the “Dragster” due to its incredible acceleration for a sedan of its class. This “Super Sedan” redefined performance and luxury in its era. Kyosho has masterfully recreated this automotive legend in an ultra-scale body specification. The prominent front grille, a signature feature of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL, meticulously replicates the iconic “Three-Pointed Star” emblem using separate, chrome-plated parts. Every detail is considered, from the unique vertical twin-lamp headlights to the rear combination lights, all featuring lens-cut transparent injection parts ready for optional LED installation. The body is finished in a sophisticated Beige Gray and comes with factory-applied color decals, providing a high-class, showroom-ready appearance straight from the packaging.
For enhanced realism, the front and rear light buckets are designed to be compatible with the optional 97054 LED light unit series (sold separately). Installing these LED units will transform the model, bringing an added layer of authenticity and visual appeal, especially for nighttime driving or display. The model is completed with vintage TC tires and rally wheels, including wheel caps, perfectly complementing the classic aesthetic of this iconic car.
This Readyset package arrives factory-assembled and requires minimal preparation. Simply add 4 x AA alkaline batteries for the transmitter and a battery with charger for the chassis to begin experiencing the thrill of driving this scale masterpiece. The full-time 4WD touring chassis with shaft drive (FZ02L) ensures enjoyable driving for users of all skill levels. Equipped with full ball bearings throughout the drive system, drive loss is minimized, maximizing efficiency and performance. The chassis also features the reliable KS202W steering servo for precise control. Sealed differentials and transmission components ensure consistent performance, even on less-than-ideal surfaces such as dusty parking lots. Durability and ease of maintenance are further enhanced by the use of button screws with hexagonal holes throughout the model. These allow for reliable tightening and simplified maintenance with fewer tools. Furthermore, the motor mount features pre-set mounting holes aligned with the pinion gear, eliminating the need for complex backlash adjustments and supporting pinion gears from 29T to 37T. For those looking to further enhance performance, a wide range of optional parts are available, allowing for customization and upgrades to tailor the car to specific driving styles or preferences.
