For true radio control car aficionados, the allure of driving a meticulously crafted model car body paired with a high-performance chassis is undeniable. Kyosho, a leader in RC innovation, elevates this experience with the FAZER series chassis, now reimagined and engineered for superior performance. This evolved touring car chassis boasts a simplified design with fewer parts, enhancing both maintenance efficiency and reducing overall weight. Crucially, core strength and rigidity are significantly improved through the incorporation of advanced materials, strategic ribbing, and robust stiffeners at the front and rear. The symmetrical chassis design is a masterstroke, delivering exceptional front-rear balance, ensuring responsive and predictable control regardless of the power source you choose. Equipped with front and rear gear differentials, precision oil shocks, and full ball bearing specifications, the FAZER chassis provides exceptional durability and impact resistance, empowering drivers to fully explore the chassis’s performance potential. Versatility is key, and the included brake disc wheel hubs with dual offsets (0mm, +5mm) accommodate both 190mm and 200mm body widths. Furthermore, with separately available parts, the wheelbase can be adjusted to 260mm, expanding compatibility to a wider range of 1/10 scale body styles, including the stunning 1971 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3 body included in this Readyset package. The Readyset arrives fully assembled, requiring only a battery and charger for the chassis, and batteries for the transmitter to get you driving.
The 1971 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3, produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1968 to 1971, stood as their flagship model, a symbol of luxury and performance. Powered by a formidable 6.3-liter V8 engine, it quickly earned the moniker “Dragster” for its breathtaking acceleration. This “Super Sedan” delivered an unparalleled blend of power and sophisticated engineering, capturing the imagination of automotive enthusiasts worldwide.
This model car body is an ultra-scale rendition, capturing the iconic essence of the 1971 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3. The commanding front grille is faithfully reproduced, featuring the signature Mercedes-Benz “Three-Pointed Star” emblem as a separate, chrome-plated component. Every detail is meticulously rendered, with all components receiving a lustrous chrome finish. The distinctive vertical twin-lamp headlights and rear combination lights are crafted with lens-cut transparent injection parts, ready for optional LED installation, further enhancing realism. The chosen body color is a refined Beige Gray, applied at the factory along with color decals, resulting in a finished body that exudes sophistication and class straight out of the box.
For enthusiasts seeking even greater realism, the front and rear light buckets are designed to be compatible with the optional 97054 LED light unit series. Installing these LED units transforms the model, bringing it to life with authentic automotive lighting. The inclusion of vintage TC tires and rally wheels, complete with wheel caps, perfectly complements the classic aesthetic of this vintage car replica, ensuring an authentic and period-correct appearance.
The factory-assembled Readyset package simplifies the experience, requiring only 4 x AA alkaline batteries for the transmitter, and a battery with charger for the chassis, allowing you to quickly get behind the wheel. The full-time 4WD touring chassis, utilizing a reliable shaft drive system (FZ02L), makes driving enjoyable for anyone, regardless of RC experience. Full ball bearings throughout the drive system minimize drive loss, maximizing efficiency and performance. The model is equipped with the KS202W steering servo, providing precise and responsive control. Sealed differentials and transmission ensure consistent performance, even in less-than-ideal conditions such as dusty parking lots. Durability and ease of maintenance are further enhanced with the use of button screws featuring hexagonal holes in all critical areas. These allow for reliable tightening torque and simplify maintenance with fewer specialized tools required. The motor mount is thoughtfully designed with pre-set mounting holes aligned with the pinion gear, eliminating the need for tedious backlash adjustments and supporting pinion gears from 29T to 37T. For those seeking to push performance even further, a wide range of optional parts are available, allowing for extensive customization and performance upgrades.
