Technical Specs:
In the world of 1/10 EP (electric) models, the booming popularity of the FAZER Mk2 is driven by the combination of its exceptional performance and handling, whether for beginners with the pre-assembled Readyset or the easy to assemble kit. Now the FAZER Mk2 adds a rally weapon in the form of the FZ02-R to its lineup. The suspension system is the foundation of rally performance, and the FZ02-R features front and rear shock stays developed to support oil shocks with newly designed pistons and cases that deliver plenty of suspension stroke and exceptional running performance both on road and over the roughest surfaces. Shaft-type 4WD produces superior traction control and works optimally with new rally tires to transfer motor power efficiently to the road surface. Front bumper skid protects the front part of the chassis from impact before and after jumps, and a chassis cover protects the R/C units from dirt, sand, and stones. Included in the kit is Kyosho’s ultra-scale body reproduction of the Subaru Impreza WRC2002 made famous by Tommi Mäkinen in winning the first round Rally Monte Carlo four times in a row. An optional LED light unit recreated using the actual design data and materials of the original vehicle can also be attached to the body. This easy to finish Readyset features Subaru’s signature blue tone with 6-star logo and 15-spoke gold wheels to recreate the performance and experience of Subaru’s golden age of rally dominance in full throttle.
●Readyset includes fully assembled chassis and body with pistol-grip transmitter.
●Ultra-scale Impreza WRC2002 body captures the heart and soul of rally driving.
●Includes two types of wheel hubs with different offsets so tread can be changed according to the body width.
●Shaft 4WD system produces exceptional control and reliability.
●Suspension system features newly designed shock case, piston, shock stay, and front bumper.
●Completely sealed gearboxes are equipped with proven bevel-type differential gears on front and rear.
●Equipped with chassis cover that protects the R/C units and drive system from dirt and other elements.
●Features full ball bearing specifications for optimal drive efficiency.
●Hex head socket screws enable easy and efficient maintenance.
●Syncro KT-231P+ pistol-grip transmitter included and provides various setting options.
●Add your own batteries for chassis, transmitter and battery charger, and you are ready to run!
●Compatible with existing FAZER Mk2 optional parts so you can enjoy tuning and upgrading your machine.
Fazer Mk2 FZ02-R chassis has been specially developed for rally models. Shaft 4WD system produces exceptional control and reliability, ideal for both on and off-road rally driving.
Features oil shocks with big bore cases and pistons designed for hard-core off-road driving. Newly developed springs reproduce true rally car driving characteristics.
New shock stays developed in conjunction with the new oil shocks. Mounting angle can be changed in three stages to optimize settings.
Newly designed steering hub arms and tie rods reduce bump steer, and changes in the Ackermann ratio create mild steering characteristics for easier control.

Ah, man, can't wait to get this one. I'm all about RC rallying, so this one is a must! Not such a fan for the non-adjustable arms (toe, camber...), or the way the wheels are attached (nothing wrong with the usual 4mm nut).
Mk2 vs TT02 series would be awesome! Especially tested on different surfaces to see the strengths and shortcomings of each, and with a few upgrade parts on similar scenarios on subsequent vids.
Fil, the vids are definitely stepping up on quality (content and reviews that you're putting out). No wonder the channel is growing. I'm enjoying your releases more and more every time. Thanks for the great effort!
Thanks for the killer feedback, Yoshimura53! I've been blessed with the opportunity to spend more time on my videos, which I'm so grateful for, and has resulted in better content for the viewers.
I'm focusing all my energy on building this channel to a sustainable level for me, my family, and my viewers. I'm confident we're gonna get there!
Thanks for all the support, and feedback. It means a ton! 👊🏼
I think Kyosho are making some of the best looking bodies right now. It looks absolutely awesome.
Agreed 100%! - Their lexan bodies are seriously next-level. And I don't think they're getting the credit they deserve. 👍🏻
Brilliant unboxing my most excellent friend!!
I've got a lot of love for the Fazer mk2 platform...... owned a couple for a few years now, albeit the road car version.
I've been very Tempted on many occasions to buy the rally conversion kit, but now you can get it straight out of the box!
The Fazer chassis is shockingly similar to the TTO2, only ten times better!
Really nice oil dampers, tougher flexible plastics, fully ball raced etc.
And that 14 turn 550 brushed motor goes like s**t off a shovel.... mine will hit 30mph on 2s,with loads of torque to!
Like you say, the hand set is very good and well designed.... and fits big hands well.
Kyosho used to be way behind Tamiya on body detail back in the day, but they have really upped their game on the Fazer series.
Stunning detail, very nicely painted, and extremely tough lexan that really holds up!
I've beaten the snot out of my General Lee Fazer for two years now-
Racing on and off road, jumping as if I were Bo and Luke, crashing into Kurbs and shopping trolleys, and chasing full scale cars up the road on 3s..... and I've yet to brake anything!
A few negatives-
Its already built,the brushed motor gets VERY hot and the rebranded hobby wing ESC does struggle a bit.... mine often goes into limp mode especially on hot days.
The front steering is not adjustable, and does get a little sloppy after lots of use.
Stones and gravel tend to jam up between the brake discs and the insides of the wheels preventing drive, they also jam up in the motor fan which stops it rotating.
Gravel also jams up the steering servo and prop shaft..... which then cuts through the plastic shaft as it rotates! Hopefully, the lexan cover may prevent some of this..... but I'm pretty sure you will still get some in there as these wheels chuck it everywhere!
As with the TTO2, I would strongly recommend upgrading the prop shaft and loose the plastic one.
Finally, it's loud.... 'kin loud Infact!
The gearbox screams like a banshee!
It's perfectly normal..... I actually had the diffs apart very early on as I thought the mesh was off, but it wasn't! My diffs were not heavily greased from new, so I added more which certainly helped make it a bit quieter!
Overall, it's a superb platform, and looks like the rally upgrades have just made it even better..... you're going to have a blast with this mate, they fly! (fair bit of torque steer though, just like the TTO2)
Can't wait to see the running footage dude, and 'yes' would love a duel between the Tamiya and Kyosho rivals!
👍 👍 👍
Thanks for all the tips, my man! I would have been worried after checking motor temps and hearing the loud volume of the gears. I don't always trust RTR's, haha. "Ready to Rebuild" we used to say back in the day... Lol!
It's good to hear that your Mk2 has lasted as long as it has. The plastics look really stout to me, and my initial feeling (after opening the MB-01 and BT-01) is that the Mk2 seemed much tighter, and more "finished" than the others mentioned. It's not perfect, but for an RTR, it's pretty solid.
Stay excellent, my friend!
It is a sweet looking car and it definitely has the suspension travel advantage over the Tamiya kits. Looking forward to seeing it run!
And it feels so nice and smooth! I think this chassis is going to work really well. Thanks for the comment, Addam! 👊🏼
Amazing video again Fil!! I am super impressed by the travel on that suspension bud! The body looks amazing. Can’t wait to see how that ground clearance works out on the stages 🙌🏻
Craig, the body is near perfect. It really does drop the jaw when you open the package. I'd love to see it on the OR! 🤗
Awesome a rallye car without 1000 of hours putting stickers on.😂
Kyoshos're great and use value parts. The cars're fast out of the box. But I wish they do optional kits or put in clear bodaies for customization.
Thanks for showing Fil.
Clear bodies would definitely be nice, Dirk! They're so nicely done, I'm sure enthusiasts would love to customize one. 👍🏻
Hi there Fil, woah that's a wicked looking Subaru you got there! As well as an awesome body, the chassis looks very well thought out, too. I think with that massive suspension articulation it will be a demon off road! Hell yeah I'd love to see a comparison and review against a TT02, say the 1999 WRC Subaru version? Looks very similar! But I have another idea for you - I don't think you have a TT02 Type-S? They are only a few dollars more than a TT02 over here, but you need to buy a body set separately. But what you do get is something more comparable with the Fazer (and still a lot cheaper) The suspension is very like the XV01, fully adjustable for camber and toe, CVA's, bearings, metal driveshafts, carbon shock towers, and most importantly, none of those blooming suspension balls we all hate!!!! Also, if you haven't got one it would be something new and good for the channel. Plus I know you will love it!!! But will it beat the Fazer?!?!? Cheers bro! 😎👊👍
Aha, very interesting Mark. I don't own a TT02 Type S, nor was I aware that they existed. You've piqued my curiosity, sir. I'm going down the rabbit hole with this info! Haha. I think the Fazer Mk2 was designed to be a direct competitor to the TT02, so having a rally spec version to put head to head with the Mk2 would be ideal. Cheers pal! 🍻 👊🏼
I have the 2007 body on the TT02S chassis it's awesome rolls about as you drive it just like the real thing. Love it.😊😊😊😊😊
@@allanritchie1539 Great to hear, Allan, i love mine too! I knew it wouldn't be just me! 🤗🤗👍👍
That depends what motor you run in it. I got a 3660kv motor in mine and a 120amp esc, goes like stink on 3s.
Very ‘nice’ machine. Now I’ve had to add another RC to the maybe list. No new purchases until I finish getting my HG801 back together. 😊
Looking forward to the running video.
Nice! Hahaha! I think this is a good kit to add to the must-have list, Trey. The combination of super scale body, and big suspension makes this kit quite... Nice. 🤣🤣🤣
This car look awesome!! I think a comparison with an XV-01/02 is more appropriate on price terms, as TT-02 is way less than half the cost in the UK of the Fazer. But who doesn’t love a race and maybe a TT-02 with hop ups to the equivalent value might also be a fun matchup!! Keep up the great work 😊
Yeah you're right, a comparison to the XV's would be a little more appropriate, seeing how the FZ0R is a rally spec RC. 👊🏼
@@poorboysrc Did anybody say Tamiya TT02 hopped up + XV01/02 vs Fazer? 😏😏😏
By the time a TT-02 is painted, and a transmitter, and bearings purchased, you'd probably have spent more on a TT-02 and you'd still have a slower car. Speaking from experience, I've got an old TT02 RSR kit upgraded somewhat, and my son has a Fazer mkII with a really nice Hellcat body, and his car is equal to or faster than the Tamiya kit.
The only upside I see to the kit is that I take a lot of satisfaction out of building a car vs buying an RTR.. Which is something that isn't really for everyone.
@@vincenewbaker3206 I agree 100%! - After cleaning up the slop, adding electronics, paint, foams, bearings, etc... you're going to spend as much, if not more, on a TT-02 as you would on the Mk2. Add even more $$$ if you want to compare to an XV-01/2.
And while Tamiya bodies are nice, the Kyosho ultra scale bodies are a step better in every way. 👌
@@YoShImUrA53 I like how you're thinking... :)
Dude lets get it together with my xv’s.
Tt-02 base is the lowest of the low. The price says it all.
These fazers cost significantly more so its hard to compare how much fun/capability you get at the price you pay.
Tt-02 here is $120Cad, the fazer is $400…..big huge massive gigantic difference
Yeah I'd be down for a little XV v.s. Mk2 action! You're in Canada as well, right? I'm in B.C., and it looks like you're in... Ontario??? 🤔
I love the TT02, but the costs are pretty comparable.
The MK2 RTR runs about $250+$30 lipo = $280. Thats everything.
The TT02 is a kit with a brushed motor and esc. So the breakdown is $120 (chassis+esc+motor) + $50 TX/RX + $30 servo + $30 lipo + $20 paint (and the time needed to paint it). This is $250 (with roughly the cheapest build).
The TT02 is my favorite RC car of all time. I have four of them (2 buggies 2 touring), but the cost is closer to the Fazer than you think.
@@kuyamik3y I agree 100%! I was thinking they were pretty much on par (in terms of pricing), and I'm glad you're on the same page. Once you factor in all the bits and pieces you get with the Mk2, if you built a comparable TT-02, you're going to be in the same ballpark, price-wise. 👊🏼
@@kuyamik3y true
@@poorboysrc jeeez. I thought you were much closer for some reason 🤦🏻♂️
Yes this is the legendary “Bugeye”
Right on, I remembered it correctly! 😉👊🏼
Nice ! Sweet shells on those kits! Look at that handsome cat!!
I dropped a few extra Gary clips in there for ya, pal. I know that you, and a few other viewers love 'em! Haha! 🐈 😻
Ohh my eyeballs were scoping this one out for a while now.... Nice review!
Thanks Mauzy! I think it's going to be a winner, it looks and feels really good! 💪
Seems like a homerun from Kyosho 👌 I like that radio, very responsive, and feel great in the hands 😀 I think you will make an awesome running video, and I'm looking forward to it 😀
Yeah I think this car deserves a good running video. Time to get the GoPros charged up! 😉👊🏼
That's a fun rc car to have. I have the Phazer monster van. Excellent vid Fil!
Ah sweet! I've had my eye on that van for some time, they look like so much fun! 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc yeah the first version is what I have. For some reason the brownish/copper paint job is the best looking i think.
I got one earlier this year and have been driving the heck out of it. This is the one car to have if you can only have one.
Nice dude, good to hear. It seems like a great platform!
@@poorboysrc and just fyi, I got it directly from Kyosho that the shocks have 100 cst shock oil and medium strength springs. Hence the sweet body roll.
@@mikeruhl it is sweet, isn't it? It looks so perfect! 😍
Wow, I was in the midst of ordering the Craten T410 Rally, but this looks like another viable option as well. Great video.
Yeah I think this is going to be a contender in the 1/10 rally car world. It checks all the boxes, and even has an ultra realistic body. It's worth looking into! 👌
Great video Fil 👍
Thanks, brother! Appreciate you! 👊🏼
Great video dude. I have 6 Fazers, I feel they offer the best balance between scale realism and performance. Easy to work on and upgrade too. I have the rally Subaru, the shroud is great but during long sessions will build up lots of heat. I did a brushless conversion and had to revert back to my double lined mosquito net. Subbed!
Right on, thanks for the sub! I'm totally loving this Mk2 FZO2 chassis, it's incredible! I released a running video today that you might like! 👊🏼
Looks nice, what they cost a little dearer than the TT02 with the electrics here. But the better motor, should be quick. I think set your TT02 to stock and show the difference.
It's pretty quick for a brushed motor. Comes with a 29t pinion too.
Yes you're right, the price is a little steeper, bit you get some nice option parts and an incredibly well done body with the Mk2. A comparison head to head would be good. 👍🏻
That's funny that a few companies are making the Subaru rally car. I had the HPI WR8 1/8 scale Subaru, and it was a beast out the box. Looking forward to seeing it run.
It's pretty much the quintessential rally car, definitely one of the most recognized body styles for a rally car, anyway. I prefer the boxy rally cars of the 80's and 90's, but as an RC, Kyosho nailed it with this one! 👌
Nice video. I don't have a Fazer yet. This may have to be my 1st. I always loved the Impreza.
Kyosho knocked it out of the park with this kit. You won't regret buying it, guaranteed! 👌
ooh nice 😜 The body looks amazing and you can imagine how much effort would be involved to get one painted and stickered up like that. I had this chassis on my Mad Van and is is decent and on a rally car it will be under far less strain than it is as a monster van. I would say that the chassis is more bendy than a TT-02 but less steering slop like you say. Yes it would be interesting to see a head to head. Nice work on a nice video so nice one Fil 😁
Niccceeee, Pete! Haha! Glad you enjoyed the nice video. Hopefully you had a nice pint in your nice hand. 🤣
It's shaping up to be an interesting contest between the two platforms. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your Mad Van. I've always liked the look of that rig. Cheers pal! 🍻
Great vid mate
Thanks brother! 👊🏼
Digging the lime tee!
Haha thanks dude! I figured a little more neon would help us feel a little more of that 80's/90's vibe. 🤣👊🏼
A shoot out would be good to see I am a big fan of the kyosho especially because I had cutting and painting bodies so it's a win for me.
Yeah I'm working on a little side by side comparison/shootout video idea. I think there's value in that. And I hear ya with the bodies... I'm 50/50, I like to do some myself, but there's something nice about opening the box, and the body is already perfect! 👌😁
@poorboysrc I love building and use to love painting but since my move for my new job I had to give away my paint. So now it's just an extra cost I don't want though done so.e nice paint jobs in the past.
i had the chevy z28 blue road car. and man it ripped. the kyoshos body are top drawer.
i actually use kyosho controllers on most of my kits.
Oh man, that Camaro body is so sweet!!! Glad you enjoyed your Mk2 Fazer as well pal! 👌
@@poorboysrc yeah real nice but the chrome front bumper broke alas!
Very nice review of a very nice car; compared to a nice TT02 RTR, not sure the latter is cheaper and usually lack nice shocks and nice bearings. Have a nice day and a nice run with it (have I put enough nice ? 😂) 🤝
Niiiiiice! 🤣🤣🤣 -- Why the heck did I say "nice" so many times? I think it was a nice day, and I got caught up in all the niceness. Lol! 🤦
This is undeniably better than the TT-02 in pretty much every regard, but at £280 in the UK I think a fairer comparison is between this and the XV-01 where the differences are largely subjective preference.
That is a more fair comparison. Especially when comparing apples to apples, or, rally v.s. rally. The XV lineup is pretty awesome! But the Kyosho bodies are a step ahead. 👊🏼
I wish they would follow the scale truck market and add wheel wells and interior to these. It does look good though.
I see Tamiya just dis that with the new M-chassis Pro that was revealed at the Nuremberg toy fair. Perhaps this is a trend we'll see in rally cars down the line?
really nice looking car, looks like the same esc that came with my tt02
Yeah I'm happy to see these big manufacturers including the 1060, it's a great esc! 👍🏻
@poorboysrc I didn't get any paper work with it so I really wasn't sure what it was lol, definitely good to know
What is the height of the clearance under the chassis ? lovely looking car. I have the Fazer MK2 Alpine GT4 which is stock & the Mad Van that I converted to brushless. It is crazy fast on 3s, but a lot of fun.
Hi there, I totally missed this message! Buried in the depths of TH-cam comments. Lol!
Dodgy you get your answer yet? If not, I'll check as soon as I get home. 👊🏼
Fazer is a great platform. I’ve got the mad van which is the fazer with different arms and bigger wheels. It’s great
The Mad Van is so cool! I bet you guys have a blast with it! 👍🏻
Im loving it 👌 the suspension moves it above the tt02 for offroad use. But look forward to your shoot out. The layout reminds me of the lazer zx5 a bit 🤔 i can see me getting one of these now 😂
Yeah not exactly comparing apples to apples in an Mk2 v.s. TT02, but put some bigger suspension on the TT02, and we're pretty much there. 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc i love the fact its cut out, painted and stickerd 😁 but do miss out on building it mind.
@@lo2713 I couldn't agree more, pal. I love building, but hate cutting and painting. 😉
Ha ha, you called it a buggy, you should be fed to the cat! 😄
Yeah, it's a cool chassis, I would love if you could do a shootout with the old TT-02, and I agree, this one is probably better, and as far as I know, also a good bit more expensive... Looking forward to see your run with it, I am sure you will create something really nice to watch!
Apparently I had an issue speaking during this video, lol! You ever get those days? Just verbal diarrhea all day! 🤣🤦
@@poorboysrc he he, yeah, every day, not just on video, ha ha!
@@madsrcbuggy I promise, I'm a reasonably articulate fellow. Just not always on video! (When I need to be!). All these years of TH-cam and I still act weird when talking to a camera alone in my hobby room. 🤷♂️
How different is this chassis and drivetrain compared to taking a stock kit and installing the official rally conversion kit?? I combined the rolling chassis and rally upgrade kit, and then put in a brushless set up. It is insane fast. I am currently running on Tamiya rally tires and rims but want to upgrade tires to something softer. I have the “Killer Bodies” Lancia Delta Martini Racing body and looks amazing!!!
I wish I knew. This is my first Mk2 chassis, bit I know it won't be my last. I'm very impressed by it, in nearly every way you'd want to be impressed by a chassis.
I bet yours hauls with that bl setup! The stock 14t on 2S was plenty of power for me. I was quite surprised at the torque it has, too! 👌
do you have an official Facebook page when I look up poor boys RC there’s a lot of people using that name
@@shannonnufer You bet I do. Here's a link to the group: facebook.com/groups/1792386754549662
Joined and sent invites thank you when I find the opportunity in the right spot. I will post pics of my two Fazers
This looks like a very nice kit. New rally speed challenge?
Haha, possibly, Joe! 😉👊🏼
The MK2 Fazer is night and day compared to a TT02. The only issue with this car is Kyosho’s parts, they are always out of stock.
Yeah they can be tough to get your hands on, but ya, the Mk2 is a different level than the TT02 in my opinion.
Nice Video, i had a Kyosho Datsun 240Z mark2 , just wonder can i use this Subura Body?
Mmmm, great question! I wish I had the answer for ya pal, this is my first time trying out this platform, so it's still quite new to me and I don't want to mislead you. Might be a good question for the Kyosho fb groups? 🤔
''ah yes its so big'' 🤣
Wait, what are we talking about? 😉
Great review, but RTR is just nooooo. You can't compare a beginners kit with an RTR (a pricey one too)
I thought it was a kit before i started the video. I was hoping for a build review 😂
Your cat 🐱certainly likes the Subaru body 😆
I think the price on the Mk2 is actually quite fair. $360 CAD all-in isn't too far off what you'd pay for an equally equipped TT-02 or XV-01.
I certainly prefer building my kits, but on occasion, I'll have to go RTR to try something different. 👍🏻
Nice!
Thanks Derek! 👊🏼
No comparison. The money is different. The build enjoyment isn't there but the performance is way better. They are just 2 totally different rcs even though they seem to b the same
Yeah they do look very similar at a glance, but the Kyosho will cost a few more bucks! 😳
i cannot wait to see the shoot out of xv02 vs this one, xv01 vs this one, tt02 vs this one.
I'm working on rally specing out my TT02 as we speak. I don't have an XV01/2 though... 😭
@@poorboysrc i have xv02 and xv01. the body roll of the kyosho here reminds me of xv02. since there is an easter sale going on at the WebEliminator RC shop, i am really trying my best not to get any more RC car. this one and mad van are just too tempting to buy.
sooo tempted! :P
Hahaha, it would look nice along those legend series cars of yours... 😉
if only they had the body clear, so i could paint it black :P@@poorboysrc
@@tm_vis-rc I bet you could use a clear body from TBG... Just a thought?
hmmmmm :P never thought of that..they have it?@@poorboysrc
@@tm_vis-rc I haven't checked, but I'm sure they'd have a suitable body. Might not be the ultra scale series, perhaps another brand. 🤔
It definitely looks on par with TT02 however the fact that it's an rtr and not a build kit is a major loss for me. Building and customizing is a large portion of the fun in these kits. Tuning, painting etc is just too good to ignore. Nice kit though. A few key mods make the tt02 a serious road car and infinitely customizable.
cheers.
Yeah I feel ya there, I also really enjoy the build experience. It's nice to get an RTR every now and again, but building is definitely where it's at. 👊🏼
There's nothing like a self built car, you can work out what's wrong with it before you strip it down. BONUS 😊😊😊😊
i think you got the last one or one of the last ones from that store. lol. i was eyeing on it but it was a bit pricy. definitely a nice car.
Oh, no way! I'd been eye-balling it for some time, and I'm happy I finally pulled the trigger! It's very well done! 👍🏻
I got mine from Amain for around $250 in the US. It's a little on the slow side. But its fun to drive. The xv02 is better in every way....but i think with the electronics and upgrades I have on my xv02 its pushing $500😅.
Ah, is that so? I might have to pull the ol, XV01 off the shelf and see if we can compare. 👍🏻
Do I need anything that not in box to make it run ?
Just 4 aa batteries for your radio, charger and a battery for the car (lipo or nimh). 👊🏼
@@poorboysrc link ? How much more is it expensive?
Very good choice, my friend! You're gonna love it!
*you might want to raise the body posts by one notch so it doesn't rub on your maiden.
I think so, I'm really looking forward to ripping it up! Thanks for the tip with the body posts! 👍🏻
@@poorboysrcYup o7 ..looking forward to the run video.. I know it'll be good!
Really nice model from kyosho as usual but, if you want to put that up against the TT02 you really should be using the TT02 SR from a price point.
Really not a fan of the RTR kits ao that put me of
Agreed, a stock TT-02 isn't going to compare. But like Mark Bryan suggested, the TT-02S (which I didn't even know existed) would be a more comparable kit. 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc I was supposed to add the S version like Mark suggested, just seen his comment. to be honest it would make a better comparison.
That longer travel suspension may be too much for the TT02 chassis, the motor definitely.
Send it to the Moon!!
Haha, you got it pal! 👍🏻
I want Kyosho's Tacoma, but i can't justify at this time.
I love the way it looks, but the chassis doesn't seem like the right design for a pickup.
@poorboysrc I agree. I would like to get the body and put it on a Squash Van.
@@PsychoticBovine now that would be cool!
@@poorboysrc the body set is crazy expensive, though.
@@PsychoticBovine beautifully detailed for what it is, though. 🤩
You say nice 23x because.......it's nice.
I read that in a Pee-Wee Herman voice after seeing your avatar, and now it all comes together in magnificent glory! 🤣🤣🤣
Dun compare price but this looks more like tt02b chassis with abit shorter control arm. I might be wrong as i am new to the hobby
Yeah this style of chassis is very common these days. Definitely giving some TT02 vibes. 👍🏻
Anyone here from the midwest who would like to get together and run rc cars?😅
Oh man, sounds like someone wants another speed run challenge! 🤣👊🏼
This is way better than TT02. Would love to get one of these. Hmm better start saving. Thanks for sharing Fil, great detail review👍🏼
For an RYR with an ultra detailed body, bearings, nice radio, etc. this kit is a great bang for the buck! The prices listed in the video were Canadian dollars, which are basically worth nothing these days. 😭🇨🇦
Looks nice😂 but dam that's pricy for a brushed car.
Keep in mind, those are Canadian dollars, which are basically worthless in the rest of the world! 🤣🤣🤣
@@poorboysrc oh Shit I didn't realize that. Just saw the price and clicked off
@@pugs1377 yeah these RYR's are closer to about $260 USD, which is a lot better than $350! Once you add it all up, it's not far off from a TT02, or XV01.
Fazer is definitely better than the tt02 in so many ways, including that you can get chevelle, gto, and Camaro bodies along with many other options
Those muscle car bodies they have are ridiculously nice! 🤩
Kopropo
Kyosho?
Anything is better than a TT02 it must be the worst chassis ever
Yeah it needs a lot of work to get dialed in, doesn't it?
11 minutes of Talk…. No driving demo? 😤
Not all my videos are going to have reviews and testing in the same video. I dropped a running video today. 😉
@@poorboysrc im sorry. In hindsight. My previous reads a little. Snarky… 😇.
@@danielgalusha all good dude. The emoji gave me a good chuckle. 😂
Have an excellent Sunday! 👊🏼
One other thing that is good about the fazer mk2 chassis is that there is a roller chassis that has a pile of hop up parts already included.. just missing electronic stuff and a body..
There is also a Mercedes AMG GT3 version. Unpainted body. That the roller kit comes with it. Not sure if kyosho still has this version available..
Yeah I think I saw that roller on sale at Eliminator-RC. Combine one of their super sweet bodies, and you're in business. 🤗
