You're a ⭐️ tomley
- amazing content creator
- consistent content
- honest reviews
- top block all around
Never had the pleasure of meeting you in person due to distance and such but very avid within the community space and attends mutiple events as and when he can
Kevin Talbot Is a good lad too just has a very expensive taste in rigs for my liking 👍 always thought tomley gave a better option due to him making reviews on lesser known brands/up and coming models
Cheers Max, appreciate it
See Phil, this is why you're the only RC channel I follow. You're still just a bloke who loves RC's, not some kind of content mill. This is even prime journalism and gives your reviews even higer credibility.
Yes, I do love the hobby… and I’m very lucky to be able to do it full time. I’m glad people do still realise that I’m am just a normal guy having fun 👌
@@TomleyRC Yeah mate you are, and you're doing a bang-up job, keeping it real and fun. I enjoy that you show that you don't have to pay premium to have a premium experience. The advent calendar is a great case of point.
Tomley truely is one of the best RUclipsrs out there, he listens to his fans, hosts giveaways and tells us which rc cars we should and shouldn’t buy!😂
He promotes a lot of cheap Chinese crap that he gets for free. Most of which he only uses a couple of times so has no real idea about its quality .. Just take most of the recommendations with a huge grain of salt and enjoy the channel for what it really is entertainment , not honest reviews of quality equipment.
@@roblapouple7552agree100%.
Awesome run Phil. Our MK2 is still going 4 yrs strong now. It’s now a General Lee. We jump it and run off road and everything. All we had to do so far is replace the bearings after running on salty winter roads. Glad you offered this some redemption! Good luck to all who entered! 👊🏼😎
Nothing takes the sadness away like our beloved rc vehicles us big adult kids enjoy and can't get enough of, it's just limitless to the direction of fun one can go in, so I say again thank you for giving us what we can't get enough of...
Awesome video... Inhave a few tt02 cars and 2 of the Fazer cars, the skyline in this video and one built up from the chassis kit.
This video makes me even more a fan of your channel.... I think i was one of the folks who commented on the shootout video. Glad to see youve revisited this chassis, it really is a joy, and steers a decent bit better stock than my modified tt02 cars ...
Cheers
Thanks for giving it another chance. Mine is absolutely ballistic on 3s with 4,000kv. I did put the metal center shaft in and the upgraded motor mount, but that's all. It will absolutely shred those tires, though, lol. Sometimes, the simple approach Kyosho takes on these chassis just works.
Fantastic mod, Phil! 😃
"It's alive!!!"
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
And happy holidays!
My favorite rc vids are usually comparing many rcs at once like on the board (that vid) you had there👍
I feel these MK2's are underrated. Have had the original brushed Mad Van converted to brushless and it's been great fun to bash around.
Nice to see humility in RUclips land. Cool video nice car and loving that retro Casio dude!
My dad has a Vintage Kyosho Wild Dodge Ram from 1997, still ran until like 8 years ago when we rolled it and the old D-battery pack shattered from being so old lmfao(it was the slowest roll ever, just barely rolled). Everything else is still working and good condition. It even has a set of brand new tires that still have yet to be mounted on rims! I forgot Kyosho even existed, awesome video!
Thanks for saying sorry. The faser chassis is really well made, especially compared to some of the others you tested.
I mean, Phil wasn’t far off with his quality assessment! Plastic push on pinion? That’s horrible! Even a cheapo TT02 has a metal one with a grub screw (every other component IS plastic though…..) 😂😂
Another great video. Are you going to review the Arrma Mojave 4s? Most people seem to love it but I'm super curious of your thoughts.
Nice work as always. I snagged me one of those brushless sensored combo's about a week ago. They are really good, very smooth, and a good price.
Yeah, seems a good combo. I may get another for one of my FTX's
Not many youtubers would have the courage to apologise to a whole company! 😂❤
Haha, I also have the balls to call a whole company out 😅
Some only apologize because they get paid..
@@dieseldabz7104 yes maybe…. but I can assure you, I’m not the type to get ‘bought’ 👍
@@TomleyRC 😂
I enjoy your reviews and videos and love that your a Top Gear fan. Keep doing what your doing your doing awesome 😎
Love the Fazer..... buddy ran into a curb at 30 m.p.h......and only bent the aluminum center shaft.....great car.....tough.....excellent details....😎👍
Even Tamiya gives you a metal pinion gear... But definitely knocks it down on the quality department plastic pionion
You are giving someone a very good deal.
I hope a deserving person gets them.
What does the turbo timing do? Great vid as always i agree with you on build quality, plastic pinion plastic drive shafts👍
I share your same sentiment with the Fazer and it’s cheap looking plastics, but it’s actually quite good and solid. Kyosho upgrades for the Fazer are premium parts and the cost is insane. I have added nearly every part available to one of my two Fazers and it’s amazing but it just makes that ugly plastic chassis stick out all the more. :)
You can run Traxxas 4tec spur and get some serious speed or a Kimbrough 32dp for some strength. In terms of diffs, Kyosho list parts for sealed diff cases and 4 gear diffs, so you can properly tune them.
Drivetrain noise is because the diff ring gear isn't properly meshed, add a 0.2mm shim under the bearing and it'll be loads better.
Another quality video 👍🏻 please can I ask how you mount the sky rc gps to your cars? Thanks
HW Quicrun 10BL120 would have been perfect for this, is not waterproof, but so much smaller, I think the chassis could have stayed intact.
To me the bad part about Kyosho is the parts availability..
I did this motor upgrade in my mk2. Crashed the car into a curb because the tire ballooned and popped. Only thing that broke was the battery strap and that was already about to break. Great car and with the motor upgrade it is the best rc i have rn
This thing would look sick with a taxi paint job. Great video! Thank you!
Great update! Are you going to get the rally car version that's coming out soon?
I've got one that I just mashed a Castle 1410 and a Hobbywing Quicrun 120A setup in. The Quicrun 120 fits in the stock location surprisingly enough
We run these for our parking lot race. The class is "Novice Brushed". I have run mine for 2 seasons and have not done anything to it except tires and added a motor fan. I have other more expensive 4wd touring cars that seem to break stuff every other race.
Thank You for coming around❤😎
One of your best qualities mate... honesty. Great video buddy.
I have been beating the absolute piss out of my fzo2 custom rally on 3s and a 6800kv brushless system, I've had a LOT of 40-50mph crashes, curv slides, and rolls, and the only things ive broken have been spur gears, which i dont mind as they're a cheap part and a good failpoint to have. And that's been mostly down to me driving like a child
This is why I love your channel. 😍
Hi Tom, I saw your post about the E maxx A few days back and just wondering when you’re going to get that beast of a truck and when your going to do a video on it ?
I race a rtr fazer mk2, and for a long term Tamiya fan it's hard to admit it's kind of becoming my favourite on road chassis 😢😮
Noice 👌
What do you use to stick the gnss?
Awesome video Phil! Good luck to all who enter the raffle.
That is really a ripper now. I would love to get hold of one of those cars. I can say to anyone who doubts the raffle, this is the real deal and Phil is a stand up guy.
I have the Kyosho Fazer Mk2 GTR and the Kyosho Outlaw Rampage Pro and both are so durable. They are the only two rc cars that I haven't replaced parts for. They are fun cars.
Would Tamiya M chassis wheels and tyres fit. That would give you options of stock kit tyres, M grips or S grips.
"cuz i dont want to destroy anything" love that tomley ❤
I have this exact fazer and ive gotten it to 65 MPH / 104 KPH with a Castle Mamba X and a 1406-7700kv. Did change the drive shaft to metal and different tires and wheels. But its a GREAT car and I have one set up with drift tires that is endless fun
The plastics are probably good, since Kyosho knows how to make decent quality materials, but it does seem like the molds used to make these parts are getting somewhat worn out, hence the amount of flash on the parts.
Good move doing this :) I agreed with your comparison except for the Kyosho stuff. I had the same issue with the ESC being too big so I made the Chevy Bel Air brushless instead. Love your content, I've bought a few cars based on your recommendations, thank you!
Yeah, didn’t want to cut the chassis.. but needs must!
Nice job tho! I use mosquito door netting cut to size for my Kyoshos as they do like to collect the scenery, 99% stays out now. There's a plastic shroud included in their upcoming Subaru FZ02 - R tho.
I'd like to know how much twist the is in the drive shaft. A small amount of twist might take some strain out of the front diff, but it's still plastic. 🤔
Thats better. Tbh the only 2 that I’d have are the kyosho and the stinger
What Camera are you using to record these clips? 6:42 6:48
I love your channel, but I'm a bit of a newbie. Could you explain some of the jargon as you go, sometimes? What do you mean by sensored setup, or turbo timing? When you describe a battery as 3S, what does that actually mean? 3 cells in series?
Brushless FTW. great to see humble Phil showing the haters why you're the best.
It really irks me that they don't have clipless mounting on these beautiful body shells.
Nice shots I want to see the camera gear that goes into making a video.
You had right from the start about the plastic its horrible! Its just the bumber that saves the on road tracks. I got Mad Wan with no foam bumper it breaks as sone the big wheels hits any horrible.
Good job on being humble Tommy Boy!!!
Man I love that Datsun, I want one so bad now
Your initial review did highlight the performance desert that is 10th scale street cars. It seems like the industry standard for these cars is brushed and slow as hell. I wanted one last year and after pricing all the hop-ups I thought required and a nice brushless setup I was quickly approaching WR8 price tag. So I bought a WR8 instead. Not a single regret...
Yeah wr8 is awesome
Hey guys.. maybe someone know where to get Audi A4 B6 Avant Body shell 1/10 scale? Or there is some shop who can make costum shell for me?
I did this brushless upgrade in mine nissan, I also added metal driveshaft and metal gears.
Noice! I put the 3300kv similar Max 10 in my XV-02. I don't quite understand the "turbo timing" though. Cheers
When you hit full throttle it gives the motor a little more RPM
Always had a bit of a soft spot for Kyosho.
Parts availability is a bit of hit or miss… even in Japan :-(
Yeah, me2
@@G_de_Coligny I have an old Nitro Ultima RB I never use because I know how difficult it would be to find parts after I crash it. Real shame.
Honestly, I think the thing with Kyosho plastics is that the actual plastic itself is really good, but they have a lot of small issues with mold quality which results in flash and slight deformities. Maybe their injection molding machines are old?
I love this channel🙏🏿. Keep it up brotha!
Thanks Kendrick 🤘
Hello chap. HOWS IT GOING YALL....THATS A KILLER BODY
Cracking video pal. Lovely little car this, and with the new EZRun upgrade a cracking prize to be won.....Tickets purchased 😎👌🏼
That’s what the Kyosho needed. Great upgrade. Good luck to all of those in the raffle. Enjoy the rest of your day!
The lower score is better. Are we playing golf now?
The Kyosho fazer chassis is quite durable. Their bodies, however, are not. They're expensive and damn near made of glass. Beauty comes at a price. $$$ and durability. I have the 67 GTO and took it to my local indoor street track. A couple minor bumps in the barrier and the front end looks like it was hit by a truck.
I put it jack stands under it on a shelf. Looks cool.... lol
without knowing i went for a absima touring and then realized the chassis is a more than proved hsp 94123 with thousands of parts and upgrades available for very cheap. Already went brushless. Fazer bodies are so good i would feel terrible crashing them.
I think it's great that you read the comments and re-evaluated your opinion. Some Youubers have a huge ego and would never admit a mistake.
Yes, I agree… lots of egos out there haha. I am always happy to see other opinions. When it’s just one or 2 then I don’t really look in to it. But there were multiple ones on the video, so felt I may have been harsh on my initial assessment.
Good morning Phil. Hope you had a great black Friday. Please consider building or revamping a class1,2, and 3 scale truck for 2024 East Coast Crawling at Cherokee Rock Village in Alabama. They have the world's greatest rocks. And it is an Epic RC event. Then us blokes from the other side of the pond can meet you.
Defo need the metal centre shaft. I've had 2 VE (brushless) Fazers & they were nice handling cars & wouldn't roll, which shows the balance & is great as the lovely bodies are kept A1. Your HW electro's would beat the standard VE gear, so job's a good 'un :)
You have the pathetic "Rage"?
@@BASSstarlet Nope, re-read my comment, no mention of the Rage which is indeed not something I'd get.
Ive smacked curbs at 50mph with mine and drove away. Ive never had to buy a replacement part for it either. Platform is a tank
I've taken some pretty hard hits with it, but killed the steering servo within the first 2 weeks
I had a spare Traxxas 2018 servo laying around, it was a decent match for the stock speed and strength
Wouldn't change a thing, the value increases with your personal touch doesn't it?......😉
Thanks for the nice video
Cheers dude
I am looking into another street ride/drifter. Maybe a rally car? Maybe this will do it. But then, really and on road have there differences to rally. Either way, in time, I'll widen my birth with different RC's.
just done 22 tickets, could do with an on road car, lets see how this goes
I see the Honda City Turbo moved to the workbench. Video soon? 👍
This car and the Arrma Felony are two of my favourite "looking" rc cars 👍🙂
I knew you were going to make this video before you did :) Because a bit of flash on plastic parts has never scared a modeler...
I saw people making 100+ km/h cars in 1/24 scale. If you can do the same with one of the model cars that would be awesome
yeah I ran a 3s setup on my fazer for a bit and even with the metal driveshaft the shaft was vibrating like crazy aaaaand I blew up both diffs to the point where they won't hold oil anymore . . .WHOOPS. going to stick to 2s . . . . unless ball diffs can handle 3s :)
Why is the Fazer so loud? It sounded like this before and after the swap so I assume the pinion/spur gear mesh has nothing to do with it...
Best of luck to the winner .
Big love to the Hakosuka.Its awesome now.
I’m far from an RC except so I have no idea if it’s any good or not
But it looks fantastic so I would buy it based on that alone even though I watched your group test vid
Kyosho are guilty of a few misgivings, and have done some shifty stuff (the brake set up on the nitro Fazer for one). But guilty of poor quality plastic probably isn't one of them. Kyosho often over engineer their stuff which adds to their over all complexity and weight,. That said the Fazer is a good unit, but it needs the upgraded centre drive shaft, and if you wanna go bling, I think there's some ally upgrades for it. Have always loved Kyosho, from the first time I stepped into a bobby shop and saw the original Ultima on display.
Couldn't you have mounted the ESC on its side? 😮
I know they’re 1/10 but for similar money you get the mjx14301 ! Brushless, metal geared, metal driveshafts, chassis and bearings. And it’s faster and handles brilliantly. I’d have my hyper-go every time. No upgrades required. Nice mod by the way nothing like hacking up a chassis 😂
Lots of better, cheaper options for sure 👌
ROFL compare crap junk to quality Japanese ... Some people really have no clue.
@@roblapouple7552 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kudos to you for revisiting the Fazer from your previous review.
Awesome cars. 3S is insane and for anyone wondering, they handle 3S fine, just make sure you upgrade the centre shaft.
Can someone explain the "turbo timing" to me TIA
Im not at RC guy (I have a Traxxas Sledge but used twice and broke it lol), but I do love your vids mate
£250 for the car and £110 I think for the replacement shell 😮 thats steep
yep that definitely woke it up a bit 👍
You can definitely run 3s on this esc. And you’d probably get around 45 mph out of it.
though I know this isn't the topic of the video, just bought a wltoys 284131, these things are so fast!!! not sure if im gonna need a brushless swap after all.
Nice '71 GTR body but still the Stinger over this all day long! Too slow out the box should've been brushless as standard.
If I win an rc I want you to sign the chassis and right rear bumper please. I love your vids keep them coming please 🎉 3:28 do not change back to normal. That’s your signature🤙 4:07
I have 2 Fazer mk 2 chassis and they have been surprisingly durable.
Im definitely going to have to get some tickets now. Damn you Phill 😂
Sorry haha.. good luck 🤞🏻
