Drive A Dream Muscle Car! In 1/10-Scale. Kyosho 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28 Fazer Mk2 Review | RC Driver

There are plenty of muscle car fans out there, but many of us simply can’t afford to buy one or have the time to restore one of the classics. This holds true for Greg, his dream muscle car to own is the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, but getting one into his garage isn’t so simple. So when the opportunity popped up to review the Kyosho 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28 Fazer Mk2 FZ-02L ready to run 1/10 electric on-road RC car, he jumped right on it. Kyosho has done another amazing job adding the licensed Chevy Camro to their line of ultra scale on-road cars. The detail and styling of the body is absolutely stunning. But it doesn’t end there, they mounted the body to their well designed 4wd Fazer FZ-02L chassis which is pretty impressive for a basher style set-up. Rounding out the package is some worthy electronics that are sure to bump up the fun factor of driving this RC muscle car. Get all the details you need in our full review!

You can never beat Kyosho & Tamiya when it comes to real looking 1:10 Cars !!! 👍😉

Wow! I guess I know what RC I'm saving for next!

Perfect for the street and looks awesome on the shelf LOL

[@FatBlokeDoingStuff]

@@rcdriver I have one plane that's a shelf queen but that's only because I need more time behind the sticks. I don't buy anything RC to keep on the shelf. For me the hobby is about using and having fun with RC vehicles, not keeping them on a shelf to look at.

[@FatBlokeDoingStuff]

@rcandminilover I have a few, flysky, spektrum and traxxas.

Kyosho makes great products, & Good info 👍 ………🏎💨

My all time favorite car is the 1969 Camaro. Fantastic RC and fantastic video.

[@stephenlozano2816]

I just ordered this RC after seeing this video! Looks beautiful!!

[@hobbycow5346]

Really a great video! Very well done!! I have one on order from a hobby shop that still has blue ones. I felt lucky to find one! I’m going to install an ESS One sound module, as I have several RC cars with it installed, and they sound awesome! Every RC truck/car I have, I upgraded to brushless (except my crawlers) but may leave this stock brushed. The reason being, I have a brushless Traxxas 4tec, and it’s a screaming handful without the included gyro stabilization. Without the gyro, it’s a squirrely mess. Running this stock is good enough for some relaxing driveway runs.

[@tantebuggabugga]

thanks for the great video. I am totally enthusiastic about Kyosho FAZER MK2 Chevy Camaro Z28 1969 And the fact that you can also install LEDs makes it even more beautiful. greetings from Germany

[@zencraft3676]

Got one of these from RPM and....just wow. This body looks even better live than it does in the video. Just a magnificent job on the paint! The transmitter is much more comfortable than my $300 Spektrum and the off-set steering wheel is a nice touch that actually does add to the ergonomics of the controller. I bought the GTO as well and ,,,I,,,I...(speechless). The GTO is bigger and just as beautiful. Just FYI...the Camaro is a standard 260mm wheelbase so any 1/10 on-road body should fit. The GTO is bigger...with a wheelbase of 275mm...so finding a different body for the Pontiac could be difficult.

[@robertless6404]

Sweet body ! Very realistic !

[@rcdriver]

Yup! They did a really nice job on the body details.

[@alanq64]

Recently bought the green 69 Camaro. Was trying to decide between the Kyosho and a Losi. The selling point, besides the Kyosho being on sale, was the better ground clearance the Kyosho has. Haven't even received it yet and I'm already collecting upgrades.ha

[@mikeyfourbarrel8473]

Gorgeous looking body! I like this one almost as much as the Charger and Chevelle...not to nitpick the amazing level of detail but those headlights look off. It’s like they used a lens that was too small and made up for it with the bezels. It doesn’t bother me that much but it’s worth noting.

[@crimsonfancy]

Great vehicle for the cost and Kyosho offers plenty upgrades to keep us busy. Easily swap to brushless with aluminum driveshafts in stock and available. This is the one in my mind lately but the lwb Chevelle will be my choice.

[@paulpadilla5288]

You should make a touring car masters racer out of it. They are so cool to watch.....All old school cars.....that would be awesome!👍

But then I found out about this monster which has a nice blue finish which is my favorite color and it’s my second favorite Camaro model first is 67 but I hope I get one of these some day.*

[@joehayes6354]

I was in my senior year of high school when this car came out. Loved it back then and love this now. To get rid of body pins, could they shorten the post, put a small flat platform on top of pins and then heavy duty velcro on it and then a matching velcro patch on inside of body. Also a similar velcro attachments on side of frame and matching ones on inside body. Just a thought.

[@xxSuperDave]

Probably better off using rare Earth magnets

[@sylvainster30]

Damn, I literally just finished off the 70 Chevelle version with a head and tail light kit! Now I gotta pick this sucker up, lol! The chassis and the body Kyosho is putting out is really great and fun to use! Great video like usual! 😁

[@stephenlozano2816]

Chris Corrado does Kyosho make a headlight kit for these cars? Where can I find it if they do?

[@linc131313]

@@stephenlozano2816 I believe that they do, but to be completely honest with you, you can find light kits cheap online through Amazon, Ebay, etc. The light kits really add to that scale realism. I threw some #14 and sponsore decals on mine as well and it came out killer. My roommate, his father and his brother now want one, lol!

Adjusting the height of the body is easy, no need to change shock parts. Allnyou have to do is raise the body posts. Super easy. I raise up to go hoon, lower it back to sit on the shelf!

[@TralfazConstruction]

My friend had the full-sized '69 Camaro similar to this circa 1975 or so. At _least_ once a day he would get offers to buy it right out from underneath him. The color, if memory will serve, was more of a deeper, carbon paper blue though.

[@blueterror2276]

I ordered the re-release javilen from Kyosho not long ago Might get one of these next

[@cwatson42785]

Greg I love the wheels on your infraction! I like the yellow but think in white with the brown would look insane! I have similar wheels like that on my Audi s4

[@stephenlozano2816]

Where can I get new tires for this thing? I’m Gonna burn through this first set pretty damn quick.

[@zoominnboomin]

I love it!! I would put a brushless motor in it just for acceleration not top speed, so it would be a smaller motor. I just love torque and acceleration!! My local hobby shop has this car and the charger and the chevelle. Edit: hmm i just saw that the gears are plastic, so I dont know if brushless would be the smartest thing to do. Is there metal pinion gears i could put in this? I'm about to go buy the chevelle. Thanks! Awesome video and great detail.

[@rcdriver]

The stock pinion is composite. Robinson Racing has metal pinions that will fit it.

[@zoominnboomin]

@@rcdriver thanks!!

[@chrisfigiel9547]

I have the Chevelle and it is beautiful. I cringed when you caught big air and then nose dived. They are pretty fast. I put some black wheels/tires from Amazon on my Chevelle and it spun the rubber off the back wheels. I will redo the glue because the black wheels go nicely with the black stripes.

[@PhoenixRCCrawler]

I like the look of it. I wonder how it would handle without the front wheel drive part. Just remove the out drives and the drive shaft and run it that way maybe? Make a cheaper version with out the front drive would be pretty awesome

[@mikej8832]

As long as it doesn't have a center differential it should work just fine. Nice idea....

[@NBC_NCO]

Can you get wider tires for the rear to complete that look?

[@yrusonoz5574]

Man this thing is awesome and price is good too...definitely in the plans to get this just to be a shelf queen lol

[@2dblefistn265]

How's the material quality hope it's not similar to the tamiya's low cost models. I had a tto1e kit and nearly half the screws stripped with me barely torquing them down. Also not too sure with screw in wheels, reminds me of my buddy's hpi e10 and they'd always come out while driving. Fixed it with blue loctite but having to put some on every time you put the wheels back on is inconvenient.

[@jimmccabe801]

I have a real 69 z/28. Lemans blue with white stripes. I gotta get one of these. Just have to.

[@HobbyPerfeXion]

Pretty cool but I agree that they should find a way to do away with the body pins. Also would love to see it a 2WD instead of 4WD to keep it more realistic. Sure it handles better with 4WD, but I would opt for a 2WD version.

[@classicmann1199]

Can you do a video on the remote?..I own the same 1 and kinda dont understand it

[@zhuyufan1186]

If you ain't scratching it & cracking the bumper you ain't having fun & I just got mine not even 5 hours ago & looks 2 be 2 years old & needs a new body already & I know I'm having fun with & I ain't disappointed in its speed thats 4 sure.

[@tempestfury8324]

It's nice but I wish they would have used magnets or something other than those huge body clips. The "chrome" headlight bezels throw off the entire look of the grill.

[@DJayFreeDoo]

looks great on the outside, looks durable on the inside. But the driveline looks a bit weak in case of brushless upgrades with that plastic center driveshaft and what else might be inside it. I feel like it might be more worth it to slap those wheels and the body on to a more comptetition style chassis. or perhaps the 4tec at least.

[@joecastelli7934]

They need to stop using those what I call skateboard Chassis for these scale cars.... I mean yeah it's a pretty straightforward chassis. But what about using a frame chassis like a real car.... Like our trail trucks use... If they make a tube chassis or some kinda square metal chassis use the same style rear axle a element Enduro Trail walker uses or axial uses and run a metal axle to a scale trans and make it front motor and use short A-Arms up front.... How hard would that be??? Prob not to hard considering we got extremely realistic looking and trucks that work almost 90% as a real 1/1 pickup blazer ect works.. now that's what I wanna see. Only true super scale cars iv seen are ones ppl have built from the ground up or tore down a axial and lowered it ect
