Kyosho Mk2 Fazer FZ02 R First Look

[@scaleworksRC]

"We've got clearance, Clarence" Love those 2 beauties. Probably my 2 favorites.

[@ReadySetRC]

@scaleworksRC 😆🤣

[@scaleworksRC]

@@ReadySetRC hehe, you know the movie ✈(propeller sounds)

[@FarmerFpv]

That looks sick. I'm a sucker for Rally-type RC cars. I only own 1 Kyosho, it's the USA 1 Monster Truck. I have the HPI Racing WR8 Nitro 3.0 2001 WRC Subaru 1/8 4WD rally car. It is so much fun to drive and a mouthful to say. 😂

[@ReadySetRC]

@FarmerFpv 😆🤣

[@laserbeam1620]

Lmao!! 😂😂😂

[@shafiqjan1474]

I got the older Subaru then the Rally conversion kit was released. Got a Fazer chassis and the Rally kit so I now have a tarmac and dirt car and they are both so sweet to drive. My street is quiet so I often swap on drift tires and head out front for some fun...

[@takalakjones3248]

This is my first fazer. I’m loving it. The Bugeye is beautiful and the rally suspension is dreamy. Was planning on getting the LC racing chassis next. I would love a 1/10 rally shootout.

[@ReadySetRC]

@takalakjones3248 Congrats on the Fazer👍 That's 3.

[@YoShImUrA53]

You should really do a 1/10th comparison test. But I think you're missing the two Tamiya chassis to compare these with, the XV01 and XV02 (PRO, not the RS). I own a few of both with different specs as well as the LC Racing, but the kit version, rather than the roller (PTG2R, which comes wirh a few upgrades). I personally prefer the LC Racing above them all, but I'm very intrigued by the Kyosho. It looks amazing, both suspension wise as well as the body. The Fazer is a solid platform. So, curious to see how it drives in comparison with the others.

[@ReadySetRC]

@YoShImUrA53 That's 1!

[@YoShImUrA53]

Sorry, I missed what you mean there. ​@@ReadySetRC

[@ReadySetRC]

@@YoShImUrA53 You were the first one to request the shootout. I'm putting a counter in the comments.

[@Glowingtomato]

I like how it's more modified for rally than the TT02 rally versions were. It's a little too similar (because of the livery) to my '99 Impreza from Tamiya so I'll be waiting for another body option or a kit like the base Fazer

[@rocktheusa]

Have you seen the Datsun rally model they have? Picked it up it's sick

[@GreatLakesRC]

Kyosho nailed this body 🤩🤩 the brushless Challenger is so good there is no need for brushed. Come on Kyosho!

[@ReadySetRC]

@GreatLakesRC Hey Aaron! You know I don't mind the brushed system. It's like when folks like the brushed mad Van more than the brushless, also the durability. I want to see with all the suspension differences how it's going to perform with the brushed setup. You know, never ruling out brushless though😊

[@nc2827]

The only thing that sucks about this car is the wheelbase. It’s 260mm when most other 1/10 TCs are around 257. Dosnt sound like much but in actuality it really limits the bodies you can fit, if you want it to be right, as I do. I like the platform so much, way higher quality than a Tamiya IMO. so I modified the wheelbase. Trimmed some of the rear lower a arm mount and some of the top arm to move the rear wheels up 3-4mm. I just used 3mm washers to make up the space. Now I can fit basically any 1/10 body without issue, and if I wanna use the cool body it comes with (and I won’t cause it’s so nice) then I can simply move the washers to the front and re extend the wheelbase to stock. One thing to note is moving the WB up you will have to screw through the rear little lip bumper with the heads facing in, that way your rear hinge pins still have something to hit and won’t slide out. Love the car in every way, just wish it was 3mm shorter for body mods.

[@ReadySetRC]

@nc2827 Great tip👍

[@anglerfishtanking]

You happen to have resources on how to do that?

[@nc2827]

@@anglerfishtanking I can make a video, but its pretty simple. Take the rear arms off, use a dremmel to shorten the front of them by a few mm, top and bottom arms, and then fill the extra space with some 3mm washers. takes some trial and error but the result is worth it. The rear axles will be shifted forward ever so slightly but wont bind or effect performance.

[@rcjoe406]

After my experience with the mad van this rally is definitely on my list the shock tower setup reminds my of the MV 😊

[@ReadySetRC]

@rcjoe406 A lot of folks mixed on the MV. I love mine. Expectations right! Detail is right there with the MV, maybe more.

[@skylar1112]

Looks nice a nice kit! I go to willis hobbies sometimes. I've bought paint and train items there. I thought they were heavy on arrma, Traxxas and Losis, i didn't see any kyosho. I'll have to pop in again

[@ReadySetRC]

@skylar1112 You got to look at the wall behind the front window. I special ordered it. Just ask Jay, most stuff you don't see he can try to special order.

[@1972bmac]

Nice vid , the on rally edition all 4 shocks are the same length?

[@RallyandTrail]

Absolutely beautiful 🤩 I have one but not had the chance to run it . Awesome channel man 😎👍🏁

[@ReadySetRC]

@RallyandTrail Right! A thing of beauty🥰 Thanks for the support.

[@NoodlesNJ1]

Mine came out of the box with the extended hubs already installed which caused it to rub on body right out of the box. I had to put the standard hex hubs on, which I think is how it should have arrived new in the box.

[@MrGoldmember2]

Would love to see your comparison thoughts on the two 1/10 rally’s!

[@ReadySetRC]

@MrGoldmember2 That's 2!

[@joseespinosa5663]

I concur

[@ReadySetRC]

@@joseespinosa5663 That's 6

[@workingclassperson2124]

I got the Buick riviera I raised it up using the different mountings available and used the wheels and tires from the hbx Bomber truck that came out not to long ago no issues at all and I put the kyosho tires on the bomber cause why not. I’ll probably get this Subaru so I can keep the Buick on road. Oh I even got plastic drift wheels for the Buick that’s fun to see a classic car drift ( carefully of course”) kyosho is just awesome in everything they do. I wanna try the supercharged ones but I’d hate to flip it at top speed and doing a body swap just would kill the look imo. Rock on 🤘🏼

[@ReadySetRC]

@workingclassperson2124 I wanted to get the Buick but went on a Kyosho strike at the time😆 Drift would be sweet!

[@khalid-7653]

Hi ... so this one no need the purchase the kyosho rally convention kit ? Only u need to upgraded the shafts?

[@ReadySetRC]

@khalid-7653 no to the kit, yes to the shaft.

[@khalid-7653]

Thanks your video is much needful ​@ReadySetRC

[@bapojean5981]

A link would be appreciated. I am not super familiar with this line and want to be sure I get this exact model.

[@ReadySetRC]

@bapojean5981 My guess you did not see the description. I bought it from my local hobby store. You can call them up if you want to pick it up from them but this was purchased the old school way😊

[@rcplaytime]

beautiful rally cars dude 👌😀👍👍😎😎

[@ReadySetRC]

@rcplaytime Kyosho killed it. Now time for them to get rid of the body mounts😆

[@MauzyrockRC]

Dude it was the next logical step. 🤘😂🤘

[@fogcityrc4874]

As usual great stuff. I have the LC rally with the same body. I love that car. Yes do a shootout plz. Also check out Firebrand RC for some good rally tire/wheel options.

[@ReadySetRC]

@fogcityrc4874 John, that video you did with the LC racing is amazing. FOLKS IF YOU HAVE NOT GONE TO JOHN'S CHANNEL AND CHECKED OUT HIS VIDS AND/OR GIVEN HIM A SUB, PLEASE DO. HE HAS SOME GREAT CONTENT. That's 4.

[@ianrichardson2691]

+1 for the 1/10 rally shoot out although I must say that you should consider getting a Tamiya xv-01 or xv-02 in there. The xv is a brilliant rally chassis. Are you going to get the new Traxxas Rally? Mine is coming tomorrow and I am buzzing 😅

[@ReadySetRC]

@ianrichardson2691 I'm really trying to curb my additions to the collection this year😊 Plus I have a few kit's to build one of them being a Tamiya, so unfortunate it won't make the short list. As for the Traxxas Rally, I'm waiting to see if they drop a new shell. Short of the clipless system and the HD parts, I have a more hopped up Traxxas Rally than the new VXL. But I do love it(the new one)!

[@ReadySetRC]

@ianrichardson2691 That's 5.

[@sparetimerc]

That is a nice looking Fazer02. The body is so realistic, 90% of my RC are bashers on that could be a track, two on road, now watching your shoot-out series and seeing your Rally car collection I really am looking at the Rally cars. Would be awesome rip it around the corners on the track. So question for you. If you was going to give advise to a friend on one 8th scale and one 10th scale what would you recommend? Thanks for sharing the new Kyosho Fazer02. Take care and stay safe

[@ReadySetRC]

@sparetimerc Man that list is really getting long😆 Because of the rough areas I run, the bigger cars tend to do better. I will say the smaller ones are super scale but at the end of the day they are not shelf queens so I will always lean to the larger cars.

[@sparetimerc]

@@ReadySetRC Thank you, again looking at getting a couple of Rally cars and since I know you are a Rally person I will take your advice.

[@matusknives]

I would absolutely love to see a rally shootout in 1/10 scale! Especially since I am considering the Pro kit version of the Rally Chassis by LC Racing.

[@ReadySetRC]

@matusknives My math maybe wrong but that makes 8 for the shootout😊

[@matusknives]

@@ReadySetRC I am up for your challenge 😁👍

[@JonnyJetson754]

Wow man super neat Rides

[@ReadySetRC]

@JonnyJetson754 Outside Tamiya, these are some of the most scale 10th scales I've seen.

[@derekc6425]

Nice video buddy! I've been eyeing this car! Where did u get the light kit? Can u provide the link? Thanks!😁

[@ReadySetRC]

@derekc6425 Thanks man! I strongly would not recommend it. It was suppose to be 4 white and 4 red. I got 5 white and 3 red. I've purchased them before, they're off Amazon, Sharegoo, they are 5mm LED's but they are not a direct fit. I would not suggest them at all. I've used RC-Lighthouse in the past. They will customize for you too. They are off FB. When I replace these lights that's where I'm going.

[@spenn2007]

These are shelf queens to compete in the Tamiya market. I just can't bring myself to invest in anything brushed, this bad boy would be sitting pretty right on my desk shelf to be stared at and showed off.

[@ReadySetRC]

@spenn2007 Oh no! Got to run it. Surprising enough the Kyosho brushed RC's are not bad on speed.

[@joshuajkoplin]

What I’m the hell are you talking about. There were fast brushed RC cars long before brushless was ever invented. These cars are made to be driven. Kyosho doesn’t make toys. Tamiya is not if the level that Kyosho is at. Ever heard of the Kyosho Inferno? 90% of RC cars today are based on the designs of the original Kyosho Burns and Infernos.

[@MusicRCBicyclesCoffee]

I want to try this chassis as well. Thanks for the review on this one. :)

[@ReadySetRC]

@MusicRCBicyclesCoffee Thanks for stopping by to check it out👍

[@enricomiceli5517]

I really love this kit but , if u really want a rally chassis, just go for the xv01. It is a nice kyosho but , comparet to the tamiya, has just longer shocks amd higher shock towers but not adjustability whatsoever

[@ReadySetRC]

@enricomiceli5517 Problem with most you are going to lose them with an RTR. I've built my fair share of Tamiya's it's how I started off 20+ years ago. Also bad content creator, this has adjustability with the shock mounts and a few hop ups that give you more adjustments.

[@Rev792]

Shot out with the xvo2 as well

[@ReadySetRC]

@Rev792 That's on my wish list, probably won't happen before this shootout.

[@deltazero3796]

All of the rally rc cars suffer from one thing: ground clearance and suspension work. Tamiya, Kyosho, every single rally/rx rc car, ground cleance SUCKS.

[@deltazero3796]

This should be also a kit version.

[@ReadySetRC]

@deltazero3796 There is a kit, a two part kit😆

[@ll.7927]

Yea I wish they found a way to make them handle like buggys. Would love to take these to a 1/10th big track n rip these
