For enthusiasts who appreciate the finesse of remote control driving combined with iconic automotive design, the Mercedes Benz Rc Car, specifically the 1971 300 SEL 6.3 model, delivers an unmatched experience. Kyosho, a leader in RC models, has enhanced its touring car chassis to create the FAZER Mk2, perfectly paired with this stunning body. This combination offers superior performance and ease of handling for both seasoned hobbyists and newcomers to the world of RC cars.
Precision Engineering: The FAZER Mk2 Chassis
The foundation of this exceptional Mercedes Benz RC car lies in the meticulously redesigned FAZER Mk2 chassis. Kyosho has prioritized efficiency and performance by simplifying the design, reducing the number of parts for easier maintenance, and significantly lowering the overall weight. Despite the lighter build, core strength and rigidity are enhanced through the strategic use of new materials and reinforced ribbing throughout the chassis. This ensures durability and responsiveness. The symmetrical chassis design further promotes balanced handling, providing excellent front-rear equilibrium and consistent control regardless of the power source. Equipped with front and rear gear differentials, oil shocks, and full ball bearings, this chassis is engineered to withstand demanding use and deliver peak performance. The inclusion of brake disc wheel hubs with adjustable offsets (0mm, +5mm) expands body style compatibility, accommodating both 190mm and 200mm widths. Furthermore, with separately available parts, the wheelbase can be adjusted to 260mm, broadening compatibility with various 1/10 scale bodies.

Iconic Design: 1971 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3 Body
The allure of this Mercedes Benz RC car is undeniably amplified by its ultra-scale rendition of the 1971 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3. This model faithfully captures the essence of the original “Super Sedan,” renowned for its powerful 6.3-liter V8 engine and nicknamed the “Dragster” due to its impressive acceleration. The large, prominent front grille accurately replicates the iconic Mercedes-Benz “Three-Pointed Star” emblem using separate, chrome-plated parts, adding a layer of realism and sophistication. Every detail is considered, from the chrome-plated components to the distinctive vertical twin-lamp headlights and rear combination lights, which feature lens-cut transparent injection parts ready for optional LED installation. The body is finished in an elegant Beige Gray and arrives factory-finished with color decals applied, ensuring a high-class appearance straight out of the box. For added realism, optional LED light units (97054 series, sold separately) can be easily installed in the pre-designed front and rear light buckets, bringing this model to life with functional lights. The inclusion of vintage TC tires and rally wheels, complete with wheel caps, perfectly complements the classic aesthetic of this vintage car.
Ready to Run and Upgradeable
The Readyset package of this Mercedes Benz RC car arrives fully assembled, requiring only 4 x AA alkaline batteries for the transmitter and a battery with charger for the chassis to get started. The full-time 4WD shaft-drive system (FZ02L) ensures enjoyable driving for everyone, while full ball bearings throughout the drive system minimize drive loss and maximize efficiency. The reliable KS202W steering servo provides precise control. Sealed differentials and transmission enhance durability and consistent performance, even on less-than-ideal surfaces. Utilizing button screws with hexagonal holes across the model ensures secure fastening and simplifies maintenance with fewer tools. The motor mount’s design eliminates the hassle of backlash adjustments, supporting pinion gears from 29T to 37T. For those seeking to further enhance performance, a wide range of optional parts are available, allowing for extensive customization and upgrades.
In conclusion, this Mercedes Benz RC car masterfully blends iconic automotive styling with advanced RC engineering, delivering a thrilling and visually stunning driving experience. It’s an ideal choice for anyone looking to own a piece of Mercedes-Benz heritage in a dynamic and engaging RC format.
