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!

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! 👍 👍 👍
@poorboysrc7 ай бұрын
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!

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.

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.

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.

I love the way it looks, but the chassis doesn't seem like the right design for a pickup.

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
@poorboysrc7 ай бұрын
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. 👍🏻
@adrianharrison52087 ай бұрын
@@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.

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

Why people buy expensive rc smaller and slower then the Maverick QuantumRX 1/8 for less money. I love the body of the Fazer, the scale of the Carisma M48S but i asked why buy more for a less car. I might go for the QuantumRX!

@ricardopires4713 I've never heard of the Quantum RX. Brands like Kyosho have been around a long time, and guys like myself trust the brand, their products, and are happy to support them. 😊

@@poorboysrc My problem is that, as you said, many people don't know about this car because trendy KZbinrs don't talk about it much. The QuantumRC belongs to the well-known HPI, which at the moment in my opinion has the best rally car, the Subaru Flux WR8. With that said, I think the Kyosho Fazer MK2-R is a magnificent car and I love your videos, but I find it strange how little popularity there is for a 1/8 car capable of 4s and with such quality for the price, of course.

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

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. 🤗
