Carson RC Bus Mercedes-Benz O 302 DB 1/87 RTR 2.4 GHz red - 500507175

The Carson Mercedes-Benz O 302 DB ref. 500504175 is a miniature radio-controlled bus at 1/87 scale, a format that matches the H0 model railway world. Licensed Mercedes-Benz, this reproduction highlights the distinctive lines of the famous O 302 coach in a raspberry-red livery. Supplied in 100% RTR configuration, the model is ready to run with the elements required for use.

The Mercedes-Benz O 302 is a classic bus well suited for creating realistic road scenes on a miniature train network, an H0 diorama, or an urban layout. This RC bus brings motion to a scale model thanks to precise driving and its reduced footprint.

The 2.4 GHz 3-channel radio system provides interference-free control with an advertised range of up to 50 metres. Steering and speed are fully proportional, allowing the driver to smoothly modulate both the steering angle and the bus’s pace, rather than relying on simple on/off control. This technology is particularly valuable at 1/87 scale, where driving precision matters for navigating narrow streets and creating neat stops.

The model uses 2WD rear-wheel propulsion. Its very tight turning radius makes it easy to manoeuvre in confined spaces—on a diorama road, around a station, or within an H0 model railway setting. Functional LED lighting at the front and rear enhances the bus’s visual presence during staging.

The Li-Ion 3.7 V 75 mAh drive battery is integrated into the vehicle. Carson states a runtime of up to 60 minutes. Charging is done directly via the transmitter and takes about 45 minutes. This design makes it simple to recharge the bus between two driving sessions or during demonstrations on a miniature layout.

The Carson O 302 DB is offered with a detailed body shell and a raspberry-red finish. The RTR box set includes the assembled model, the 2.4 GHz radio controller, batteries for the transmitter, the lithium drive battery, an instruction manual, and a display/storage case. The case protects and showcases the bus when it is not running on the layout or diorama.
