Kyosho 1970 Dodge Charger - FAMILY

[@robsadler7094]

Looks great, kyosho just needs to come up with their own come hither mounting system and ditch the body posts.

[@just.jose.youtube]

Totally agree. Nothing says "lexan-body-toy" like a good set of body posts and clips! 😋

[@jeeplivion]

You'd think that they would have been the first to figure something like that out 🤔

[@_The_Worst_]

Yeah, it looks pretty epic...🤘🏼💯✔️

[@Tookie-2014]

This is a must own for me, my step dad has a 68 & 69 and I had a 70 dodge charger original plump crazy purple

[@BlindGuyRc]

Yeah I definitely want this haha. Fell in love with the full size as a kid. Dukes of hazard then fast and the furious. Got my photo with the original car at Universal when I was 12. Still have that photo. Been almost 20 years haha. This rc looks great. Only thing I say chassis wise.... Needs to be rear wheel drive. Keep it pure... Hahaha. Interior would be cool to. But man.... they killed it. I love the skyline to. But it's not a charger. I mean the hidden headlights sells the car.... plus a working blower.. That thang got a HEMI. Haha. Great video man. Family!

[@andrewdecavia7553]

Charger every time! When you were talking about upgrades and making it “fast as possible” I was waiting for you to say and as furious as possible! Family!!

[@johngookinsable]

Sweet ride! "By an inch or by a mile. Winning is winning!"

[@twisterzman]

The hideaways do it. Big chuff... I can't choose, Matt. That's like Sophie's choice! And, yes.. more like this. It is "scale", which fits the channel. Now, time for that scale interior!

[@thman6453]

Man what a cool kit👍

[@rossgross7497]

Dodge all day.. great looking car.

[@scalebuildersguild]

No doubt! Thanks for watching!

[@norsefalconer]

Amazing. They went through all that trouble to make a spectacular body, then failed to use a magnet mount?!?! 🤦. That said, I think one of those will be coming home once I can get one (I'm sure they'll sell out quickly).

[@norsefalconer]

For those interested, the Charger (based on current exchange rates and Japan pricing) is about $464 USD, the Nissan $329 USD.

[@mattymoe2239]

I agree, body clips totally ruin a beautiful body. Especially at that price point.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Exactly!

[@scalebuildersguild]

I don't think it's a straight exchange like you're suggesting. We'll see pricing soon though!

[@Rokstardad82]

Kyosho is killing it with scale on road

[@But-its-Broken]

I ordered the SSD locking hub kit for my SCX10. I cant wait for it to get here.

[@angrymelon]

For anyone looking to pick up this car or body, just remember this is the longer wheelbase FZ02L chassis. Essentially this body's wheelbase won't match that of a more traditional touring car at 257mm. Great first impression, can't wait to see it run!

[@scottnorton6834]

Charger of Skyline? Yes please. And that is exactly why I ordered both

[@michaelavery4427]

I'd take the Charger, Duster, Chevelle, GTO, Lemans, Challenger or the almighty Super-Bird or my personal favorite Mopar the Barricuda. I'm sure I'm forgetting some others but u can't go wrong with any of the classic American (2-door V8) muscle cars. Sadly tho most RC Companys can't seem to realize this (with the exception of NO Prep,) or maybe they do but just don't want to pay for the licenses. But but they would probably make them all-wheel drive anyways. I've been eye ballin the Fazer line for for my first RC car and this seals the deal for me. Thx Matt!!

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Kyosho has become one of my favorite brands. Especially the fazer lineup. My mad van VE is a favorite and my GTO is absolutely stunning. For less than $250. Fantastic!

[@crawlerballer]

That Kyosho is fantastic! nice video homie

[@rickweeks6513]

Looks great wish you did a pic of the skyline

[@chrisquigley2580]

I'd go for the charger all the way and i agree with you on the yellow lettering. I always thought it looks tough too.

[@Ocd_rc]

I’m on board for a nice scale on road car! Nice job from Kyosho.

[@kevinbreaker2683]

That's awesome Looks like Richard petty could climb out of thing,,, Very slick,,,,,,, When I see that then I think Nascar,, Or the fast and furious

[@mk6_csg978]

I’ll have to go for both. Kyosho makes some awesome body’s and I already own 3 of them, it wouldn’t hurt to own two more 😎 lol

[@cookeemon67]

gosh dang that car looks like a million bucks! definitely interested in it and seeing more like this on the channel! i started out hard with the crawlers but after a while it is fun to explore some other aspects of the hobby

[@norsevikingsir4932]

You need a micro servo to open the luvers on the carb when you hit the throttle.

[@boy6named6zoen6]

Got my first 1/10 crawler today. The Element Enduro Sendero HD. First decals that I put on the body was the SBG one. I liked this review.. something different but still scale.

[@raymonde.tanneratomic-rc9370]

Looking awesome

[@timpowers9429]

Really dig those hideaway headlights and the fact that the butterflies move. First car that has made me want to get into some street driving. Great vid, thanks for posting 🤙

[@scalebuildersguild]

Right on!

[@RCRitterFPV]

great look at a really nice looking rig.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad you like it and thanks for watching!

[@WestSidewaysRcDrift]

the detail on this body looks extremely good, so good that i wouldnt play that rig outside i would keep is on my desk, would be pleased if the chassis would follow the quality of the boddy also..

[@brandaneakright6082]

They’re actually really good quality and pretty durable, I had the 70 chevelle from them and it was a nice piece. I got rid of it though and got a traxxas 4tec 2.0, if that Charger didn’t have the blower sticking out of the hood I’d like it better but other then that it’s a nice piece. It’s nice that it’s got a brushless system in it finally, that’s why I got the traxxas to be honest.

[@TheWright1]

I think kyosho is underrated in the RC world but I think there products are awesome. The Fazer chassis is amazing! I do not have one of there on road but I have the Mad Van and it is one of my favorite bashers to drive. I would love for you do do a upgrade series on this car and show kyosho some love. Haha.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I definitely agree that Kyosho is underrated. So many amazing vehicles, but until I drive it, I can't really say if I'd upgrade it. Thanks for watching!

[@ReadySetRC]

Superb first look👍 This RC looks amazing. Kyosho knocked out of the park again. Dodge or Nissan....ummm I'll take both please😊

[@JusRc]

Nice car, Great review, I run my on road cars in underground parking lots in the winter.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Nice to have that option!

[@hmisay4976]

I've got the brushed Challenger in blue that I've been wanting to drop a brushless system in. I may just toss that one on a marketplace and use the funds to finance one of these beauties. Muscle Cars are far too rare in the RC world so it's always good to see more of them.

[@jerrodarndt4012]

Dodge, hands down! Now I want one!

[@johnpeter1917]

Cool car looks great. Another great vid from SBG. My opinion I think I'd go for the 2000GTR. It's just so beautiful.

[@PachezZ]

One of few on road RCs I'd like to have... good job with video, as always :)

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks! 👍

[@bamabiker750]

So happy you like this. I discovered the Fazer line when I got Kyosho's Chevelle SS a couple years ago. I have a few on-road RTR's from other manufacturers as well and the Fazer is vastly superior to those. Anyway, the Chevelle is fast, handles great and is tremendous fun to drive. Can't wait to see yours on the road someday soon - when the snow clears of course.👍

[@Jimmy2Horses]

It's begging for a sound unit and a micro-servo on the butterflies. #family

[@bimmaboy]

Nice to see Kyosho love :) Would be nice given the weather if you have another vid on the mini z 4runner. It's got some decent upgrades and the body is just gorgeous! Keep it in the "family"

[@jamesmower1852]

Love the headlights need some LEDs in the buckets though that would be so cool to see them open and actually have lights that were on behind them

[@scalebuildersguild]

All you have to do is add them!

[@jamesmower1852]

@@scalebuildersguild yeah I figured there were light buckets in it just thought it would look so cool to see those open and lights actually shine through very cool

Dang it, I knew I was going to see this video and I was going to buy one, and look at me now, I ordered it

[@ScaleCustomCrawlers-SCC]

Great looking car!!!

[@jrodri805]

One of the most anticipated releases from Kyosho. Thanks for your review! Kyosho has continued to dominate the American On road classic car market where HPI and Vaterra/ Losi dropped off. This one takes the cake though with all of the additional features. Street price will be around 329.00 US. New to this release also are the molded wiper blades, a first for Kyosho. I’m surprised they stopped there and did not include molded door handles. I’m interested to try out the new motor/ esc, top speed about 44 mph on this one out of the box with adding a 2s lipo. Can’t wait!

[@scalebuildersguild]

They keep getting better and better, so who knows what's next!?

[@downwiththesicknessrc7783]

The Dodge! I just wish it was a '69 RT/SE. The '70's open element front grill has always left it wanting, in my opinion.

[@713Ace529]

Man!, just what I was hoping, somethings do come true!!. Now I can make my General Lee lights come to life. I used one of these 1st bodies and turned it into a General lee and now I can use the headlights which I had planned but now much easier. CooooL. Nice to know you love these bodies too Matt. had no idea bro. cool

[@scalebuildersguild]

The General Lee is a pretty cool car, just not crazy about the Confederate Flag. Thanks for watching!

[@TheTonester2312]

Dang! So cool!!!

[@SwampersRC]

Definitely would pick the Charger over the Nissan. The headlight covers are a really nice touch. The "wings" by the back window are a nice detail as well. The aluminum center shaft is absolutely necessary IMO and with some run time the plastic shafts at the wheels would probably have to be replaced. I would like to see it next to a TF2, for scale reference. Body posts, AARGHH!

[@voodootrucker]

She looks badass Matt. I have the fazer Camaro, Chevelle and El Camino and it’s a real fun platform. It’s time to add this Mopar to the stable 👍🏻

[@norsefalconer]

I wish we could get the Red Chevelle, or at least the body, Stateside.

[@shafiqjan1474]

Kyosho nailed the Charger, they are good about not painting windows on their RTRs.

[@Axial_Andrew]

I would pick the Dodge... Because family!!! 🤠

[@peterrcbasher]

FAMILY ✨🕊

[@BlueDually4x4]

Its awd, so its good for snow... At least all that's what everyone with a Subaru say. Kyosho has done some awesome bodies on the Fazor platform.

[@Coltron_Actual]

If the Charger didn't have the blower it would be the easy choice. The clean lines of the Skyline make it tempting. I'm sure I'll have to get one or the other.

They built it on a proven platform. If you're that much of a purist, by all means, disconnect the driveshaft and go RWD!

Fun SBG review video, enthusiastically and dilligently covering all important fine details. How about bringing the Charger with you to Alabama? And perhaps coincidental or on purpose, you are so right: family. In this case, our worldwide RC family. A great theme as far as I am concerned for season 2022. Thank you, bring on tyre smoke!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Excellent point, and one that is definitely worth pursuing for 2022!

This is the first time seeing a Kyosho RC car, that body looks sweet, how will it fare against a table leg? what's the cost on a replacement body? Thanks for sharing

[@scalebuildersguild]

Not sure yet, but I'm sure they'll offer a replacement.

[@jms493]

Will this eventually show up on the Kyosho America site? What will the price be in USD...$460? The link you provided does not appear to be a US site.

Don't brake your fazer. You might not get it fixed soon, or ever if your not constantly looking for the parts you need when they become available.
