Honest Review After the Beating: Kyosho MK2 2002 Subaru WRC

[@angrymelon]

I have one. Love it! Did the metal center drive shaft, motor mount, front CVDs, motor heatsink, and sway bars. I also have a TT02 rally, and its great but the Fazer is better. Especially out of the box.

[@bigbristv]

I love this! Thank you, especially since now I don't have to buy a TT02 to compare 😁

[@charl12]

I have this just used it on polished concrete in apartment garage, your right drifts crazy… mine is just stock though. Cool to see your one turned up to 11.

[@bigbristv]

Thanks bro! Who needs "drift tires"? 😂👍

[@HassanAnge]

I ordered one today and planning already some mods 💪🏼 Thanks for the video and keep up the good work man 👍🏼

[@bigbristv]

Thanks man and welcome to the channel!

[@Dreiviertel]

Additional con, it will start to rust in the wet. After I drove in wet dirt every screw that was in contact with the dirt started to rust. Body pins, steering ballheads etc. were rusty. I also had to rebuild the rear right bearing, because it was only moving with some force. Btw. I run mine with a 3000kv brushless combo. It rips with 2s and with 3s it is almost too much - if you're going to drive it Rally style and don't want to go for top speeds.

[@bigbristv]

I really appreciate the info. Just came from ripping it on 3s in the street. Does 48mph easy and shreds tires. On my second set. Planning on keeping her dry, but when she does get "a wash" I do make sure to dry then lube everything. So much fun once you get used to driving it. 😁

[@Dreiviertel]

It is definitely fun, especially with a gyro. I use a Radiolink R7FG receiver with a build in gyro.

[@bigbristv]

@@Dreiviertel isn't it amazing how a little help from a gyro make driving this thing that much more fun? I wasn't having a great time with it in the beginning because I like driving full throttle all the time 🙃

[@joseRios-ck6sh]

I bought my kyosho subaru and it is a blast it out beats al my other rc from on road to off road!

[@bigbristv]

That thing is so much fun, even more so with 3s power and road wheels!

[@cwrcwr7432]

Nothing like coming home from a long day at work and chilling out with another drop from bigbris. Cool car my man, keep it and keep running it thru the meat grinder. :)

[@bigbristv]

😂🤣👍

[@haywirerc]

Cool little guy! Fricking sweet!

[@bigbristv]

Sweet indeed.

[@chrisginoc]

Would you choose this Kyosho MKII Fazer over the HPI WR8 Flux?

[@bigbristv]

I only have experience with one, sorry I couldn't help more.

[@ItBetterBeFast]

Get the flux.

[@shafiqjan1474]

I gonna install a Reef's gyro soon, check out Jetko tires for better rubber. I run them on both my Fazers, dirt and tarmac Rally cars

[@bigbristv]

😎 thanks!

[@shafiqjan1474]

@@bigbristv my pleasure, power hobbies stocks them under their name so if you find the rally tires in stock order and you get them next day on regular shipping in the BRX. You should get the tarmac tires 1st and maybe the chunkier dirt ones too.

[@bigbristv]

@shafiqjan1474 good to know. BTW I just came up from running mine on these and boy what a difference! www.ebay.com/itm/203034649999?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=XPFMXGPQSSa&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=CDZ7EHayQkm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@bigbristv Tires are the most important piece of the suspension puzzle to solve. I am a MTN biker too, it's all about the tires. If they aren't correct you're F'ed and things won't be fun. As an RC racer off and on road I know it all too well.

[@electricnitrorc]

Great video and a great car. Will check on your other videos when I got the time. Just found your channel 😊

[@bigbristv]

Welcome! Let me know how you like em 😄

[@NoodlesNJ1]

Comes with servo or are you using the Dumbo?

[@bigbristv]

Not sure what you mean 🤔

[@NoodlesNJ1]

For the Gyro

[@bigbristv]

@NoodlesNJ1 oh yeah, I use these on all of my rigs. Makes a huge difference when you drive fast and crazy 🤪 amzn.to/4e1SDSl

[@NoodlesNJ1]

So do I ​@@bigbristv

[@OneKebabPlease]

What pinion you use and what is the stock spur gear ? Please reply I need help

[@bigbristv]

I'm using a 35t pinion. Stock spur is 68t I believe.

[@MauzyrockRC]

Looks so plush! I am so tempted. As for the TT-02. It is a great platform to tweak. So many after market parts. But if you want something in the similar quality bracket, I would skip the TTs and go XVs. Night and day. Cheers!

[@bigbristv]

I appreciate this! I'll have a look. Thanks!

[@NoodlesNJ1]

3 wire steering servo?

[@bigbristv]

Yes

[@rexrcs]

“Handleable” lmao 🤘 . Thanks for the thoughts, Ive been looking for thoughts videos but nobody has talked about it like you have. Throttle control training is a must when trying to drift. Looking forward to more videos! Heavier oil will make it slide out easier on loose surfaces, softer oil will give more grip. Does the sway bar kit come with options like soft medium hard?

[@bigbristv]

Yes, yes, and yes 😅 I really appreciate your saying this man. Drifting a 4wd/AWD does take serious throttle control, especially w/o gyro assistance. Also, the sway bar kit comes with 3 levels. I show it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJu5opykbt2Mqcksi=cHHZgP8SDDSTIEdg

[@rcplaytime]

it is a cool car, pretty tough also, i have something similar, hpi wr8 subaru, its awesome 👍👍😃

[@bigbristv]

That HPI, is that the 8th scale model?

[@rcplaytime]

​@bigbristv yes 8th scale 😀👍👍

[@Rev792]

I wish it came with a clear shell

[@bigbristv]

What color would you go with? There are clear shells available.

[@Rev792]

@@bigbristv I’d go with something funky I have a habit of personalizing things, putting my own spin on things

[@bigbristv]

That, my friend, is what it's all about. I think my Mojave is the only rig I haven't altered drastically as yet. And this one 🤔

[@scaleworksRC]

Definitely worth the money 💯

[@bigbristv]

Perhaps. 🫣 Yeah, it is 😂

[@tjcben1]

Nice rally car, but I think XV01 or XV02 would be better imo.

[@bigbristv]

Thanks

Love the video bro earned a sub from me!
