Most RC cars you find online are plastic shells with a remote. These two are different. The 1:24 Benz AMG G63-style and the 1:24 BMW XM-style are metal alloy diecast RC cars with real detail, doors, hood and trunk that open, sound effects, working lights and a smoke effect, and both just landed at Project M Shop. If you want a premium RC car in India that looks as good on a shelf as it does on the road, here is how the two compare.

1:24 Benz AMG G63 diecast RC car: the one with attitude
The G-Class has one of the most recognisable shapes on the road, and this model keeps that boxy, confident look at 1:24 scale. Its metal alloy diecast body feels solid in the hand.
What sets it apart is the full effects package:
- Smoke effect: fill the tank with the included water filler and the car puffs smoke as it moves.
- Sound effects: a more lifelike drive than a silent toy car.
- Working lights: they look best in the evening or in a dim room.
- Opening doors, hood and trunk: take a close look at the detail before you drive.
One thing to know before you order: the car battery and charging cable are in the box, but the remote needs its own batteries, which are not included. Keep a set ready so you can start right away.

1:24 BMW XM diecast RC car: the one that's ready out of the box
The BMW XM-style model is the sleek show car of the two. Its metal alloy body has doors, hood and trunk that actually open, so you can look at the detail up close before you take it for a run.
- Opening doors, hood and trunk: great for display and photos.
- Smoke, sound and lights: fill the tank with water using the included filler.
- Ready to go: batteries for both the car and the remote are included, along with the charging cable.
Which one should you buy?
- Pick the Benz G63 if you want the bold, boxy G-Class look and a slightly longer remote range (about 30 metres).
- Pick the BMW XM if you want the BMW look and batteries for the remote included, so it works out of the box. It also costs โน94 less.
- Buying as a gift? Both suit car lovers, collectors and RC fans aged 8 and above. For a gift, the BMW XM is the easier surprise because nothing extra is needed.
Tips to get the most out of your diecast RC car
- Charge fully before the first run. It takes about 2-3 hours.
- Use clean water in the smoke tank and follow the instructions that come in the box.
- Drive on a smooth, dry surface. Indoors on a clean floor or on a flat, dry patch outside works best.
- Do not leave the car charging unattended, and let it cool down between long runs.
- Display it between runs. The detail is part of the fun, so keep it on a shelf.
