For enthusiasts who appreciate the art of R/C car driving, the allure of a meticulously crafted car body paired with a high-performance chassis is irresistible. Kyosho elevates this experience with the FAZER series chassis, now reimagined and engineered to redefine performance benchmarks. This model boasts a streamlined design with fewer components, resulting in enhanced maintenance efficiency and reduced weight. Simultaneously, core strength and rigidity are amplified through innovative materials, strategic ribbing, and robust stiffeners integrated into both the front and rear. The symmetrical chassis design further refines the driving dynamics, achieving impeccable front-rear balance via the suspension system, ensuring responsive control regardless of the power source. Equipped with front and rear gear differentials, oil-filled shocks, and full ball bearing specifications, the chassis delivers exceptional durability and impact resistance, empowering drivers to explore its full potential. Versatility is key, with brake disc wheel hubs featuring dual offsets (0mm, +5mm) for compatibility with both 190mm and 200mm body widths. The wheelbase can also be adjusted to 260mm (with optional parts sold separately) to accommodate a broader spectrum of 1/10 scale body styles, including the stunning body included in this Readyset package. This comprehensive package arrives fully assembled, requiring only a battery and charger for the chassis, and batteries for the transmitter to get you started.

The heart of this model lies in the faithful reproduction of the “1971 Mercedes-Benz 300 Sel 6.3,” a vehicle that reigned supreme as Mercedes-Benz’s flagship model from 1968 to 1971. Powered by a formidable 6.3-liter V8 engine, it rightfully earned the moniker “Dragster” due to its breathtaking acceleration. This “Super Sedan” became synonymous with unparalleled power and performance, and this RC model captures that essence perfectly.
The bodywork is an ultra-scale masterpiece, featuring a precisely replicated large front grille with the iconic Mercedes-Benz “Three-Pointed Star” emblem crafted from separate, chrome-plated components. 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 chosen body color, a sophisticated Beige Gray, exudes luxury, and the factory-applied color decals ensure a flawless, high-class finish straight out of the box.
For enhanced realism, the front and rear light buckets are designed to be compatible with the separately available 97054 LED light unit series. Integrating these LED units elevates the model, bringing it to life with an authentic, real-car presence. The inclusion of vintage TC tires and rally wheels, complete with wheel caps, perfectly complements the classic aesthetic of this vintage car, completing the timeless look.
This Factory-assembled Readyset package is designed for immediate enjoyment, requiring only 4 x AA alkaline batteries for the transmitter, and a battery with charger for the chassis. The foundation is a full-time 4WD touring chassis with shaft drive (FZ02L), making it accessible and enjoyable for drivers of all skill levels. Full ball bearings throughout the drive system minimize drive loss, maximizing efficiency and performance. Steering precision is handled by the reliable KS202W steering servo. Sealed differentials and transmission ensure consistent performance, even on less-than-ideal surfaces like dusty parking lots. Maintenance is simplified with the use of button screws with hexagonal holes throughout, allowing for secure tightening and easy access with minimal tools. The motor mount design eliminates the hassle of backlash adjustment, with mounting holes optimized for pinion gears ranging from 29T to 37T. For those seeking to push the boundaries of performance, a wide array of optional parts are available to further enhance and customize your driving experience.
