Reviewing the 2020 Mercedes AMG GT3 Kyosho Fazer Mk2 (& 3S conversion) 

THE MERCEDES WAS READY TO FLY WITH THAT BRUSHLESS SET UP. 🔥🔥🔥

Great review. You guys cover EVERYTHING! I know people have run it on 3s because I watched OMG RC convert his to 3s brushless and run it but I just naturally assumed this would be much better on 2s until you said people are converting it to 3s and they're not breaking! That is awesome that the differentials can handle that much power. I'm guessing just an aluminum center driveshaft may be the only essential upgrade with that much brushless power.

The noise was not a rock, it was the driveshaft

3800kv... LOVE IT!!! Have that in my 2wd slash, can't imagine in that thing. Haha. That's sweet. Well done!

Great review. Nice RC car... Brushless system! ❤️

Awesome video like always, keep up with the awesome content 😎💯👍

Loving this one thanks for sharing lol the closest to the real thing putting my order now 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪

If they sold this with a Porsche 911 RSR body, I'd buy it instantly. The AMG body looks great though.

It hurts that he said it was a sedan. Besides the mistake, still a cool video

Hi Brett, that’s a beautiful looking body, exactly like the 1/1 real car. Those Kyosho MK2 kits are awesome, great chassis with amazing bodies. Great video Brett. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧

Great video as always. Thanks guys

Excellent review and demo.

I think you've sold me. I wanted one, the roller, to put my own guts in, and I wanted 3S power, so you answered all my questions. Still room for more top end with the brushless system as well VIA a gearing changeup.

No doubt, brushless is definitely the way to go! 👍 Great looking ride, nailed it, even how the wing is mounted!

Sedan is a class of rc car y’all. He’s referring to that (most likely) rather than calling the amg GT a sedan

great video, well done!!

My Fazers are my favorite cars. I bought them as the chassis kits and the first one I put a Spektrum 3300/85Amp combo in and i run it on 3s. I got a fan on it and it stays coolish. It is fast. We bash/race them around behind work in the lot. The surface is not exactly clean, smooth, or even consistent. Hard slicks (been using the Rush 36) are a must. The stock tires didn't last two packs. I have added sway bars and the aluminum steering. The sway bars made a huge difference. I go through more bodies than tires now. I also have two running HW Just Stock combos, one 13.5 and one 17.5. They are both 2s but the 13.5 is a little beast. They will all swing around a corner and then burn straight off very controllably (3s is more of a suggestion than control). These are tough cars too. I've hit cars, pallets, curbs, rocks, pebbles,,,, I do have the cups pop of the balls when the steering takes a hit sometimes. Seriously, I have cartwheeled, rolled, slammed, slid. It drove itself into a pallet once and got wedged in. Body mounts were bent and the body got a sunroof, but after digging it out, kept bashing. I got a tt02r, and it doesn't handle nearly as nice, and cost more.

Looks awesome. I’ll take the Castle powered one.

I have the brushless version of the Camaro and it flies!

Very cool video👍🏼

AWESOME!!!

I have have one on preorder but I still think the new roller kit for $135.00 is a way better deal. You can install your own electronics and install this body later whenever becomes available.

Very nice

Can't wait to get this one! 3s Can run on the Stock 14t brushed motor and Esc = You will get at least 36mph. I have NOT seen one fail yet running stock motor and esc running 3s. You will need the aluminum driveshaft ($8-10) upgrade if you go brushless, the stock plastic driveshaft will rattle loudly.

Nice RC car 👍 I wish I could have one 👍

This is a beautiful car. Just a few upgrades and a brushless systm this would be nice at 35-38 mph.

Nice!

Looks good, but the Kyosho Fazer chassis, needs the Alloy Center Shaft for brushless power. Edit: The standard plastic center shaft doesn’t hold up for long, unfortunately. Like the Tamiya TT01 & TT02 chassis, same problem.

Love Kyosho. Japan always make fire RC's.

By the way check out OMG RC, he has just fitted a 550 - 4400 kv brushless motor & 80a esc & 3s into the Kyosho AMG GT3 & got 60 mph.

Brett is the best! 😊😊😊

Wow!!! 49mph!!

Nice

if i have that Amg yes i will put brushless but run on 4s, use JB to lock the diff, change the servo, better oil for the shock and a change of tires a good set of Duratrax will do the job, if you think im out of my mind yes im out of my mind

10:30 That sound is the plastic driveshaft warping andnmaking contact with the chassis. Kyosho makes an aluminum driveshaft to fix that

I hope those tires last longer than the '69 Camaro's tires. I run mine on asphalt, and the original tires lasted for only two 2s lipo batteries. The Protoform VTA Trans Am tires and wheels are the way to go for asphalt. I also run a 3s lipo on the brushed motor. You have to be careful you don't overheat it on 3s, so I hooked up an auxiliary motor fan. I also installed the aluminum driveshaft and steel driveshaft end cups. Another good upgrade for this chassis is the carbon fiber bumper support. Next upgrade is a brushless conversion.

Kicks my OCD off knowing the front badge is crooked! 1:46

I love kyosho, but the parts are not available in my country

This is a great car, cant wait to get mine. When you go brushless you deff need to change out the plastic center shaft to the HD aluminium upgrade shaft. At higher rpm even if you do some speed runs with the stock brushed motor on 3s the plastic center shaft whips like crazy with a loud sound. A more powerfull brushless system on 3s is even worse with the stock plastic shaft.

I run a 3s battery on mine it runs fine

It's to bad they didn't use a plastic grill. That would set it over the the top. Ther bodies are amazing, as well as rear defuser

I got an onyx ESC and 4000kv motor combo, way too powerful to control on a 3s and have yet to do a proper speed test

Definitely at the very least add the upgraded HD driveshaft if you go brushless 3S. Note, Amain seems to only sell the driveshaft for the fz02L (long) chassis part KYOFAW210 and mistakenly shows it as the part needed for these. These one's need the FAW209 part for the FZ02 body.

I fit a castle 4600 kv motor and mamba x esc in mine. Might be a little too much. Even with a metal drive shaft in it the drive shaft wobbles like crazy. Mostly run it 2s to be safe now. I did have a drive shaft bend on 3s and the esc caught on fire. Kind of scary.

10:30 thats prob the centerdrive shaft as it is uneven and unstable I have a brushless swapped fazer

I preordered mine and am wondering what 2s battery to get should I get a 50c or a 50-100c burst.. any suggestions?

And those darn curbs always jump out on me.

I so enjoy your videos and reviews! Would love to hear how you got into the hobby, do you own Amain? Maybe there’s a back story video? I appreciate the connection of knowing your story and watching some of the best reviews on RU-vid bar none!!

Big tires and a lift kit and I'd have a mad Marcedes

Great review can y'all do the same to the traxxas Rustler 2wd

I’m doing the same thing to my redcat lighting 🥴🥴

Are y'all going to get the nitro version?

1:50 You know it’s not a real Mercedes because the symbol is crooked! Dig it tho.

How to use that car and how to put battery in car pls pls pls do video😥😥😥😷

Yah, brushed are crap compared to brushless. Its just old tech. I remember when I got my first modified 17 turn brushed motor and I thought that was fast...brushless blows all that out the water.

Brett, you're the only person in the Milky Way Galaxy that calls NiMH batteries "Nim". How about saying "nickel metal" instead? :) Enjoyed the video.

what do you do with the old powertrain motor?

Is this chassis better than the tt02 and rs4?

Is this designed to go around an onroad track or just up and down. I am looking at an affordable electric to go around a track. What does Fazer have for competition from tamiya ?

I got my silver chevelle today video soon...what metal upgrades can u get for it if ne at all

Just built one, castle 3800 went 59 on 35t. Castle 5700 went 80

Dude. My tamiya subaru brat with a 27t silver can on nimh does 20 mph lol. Thats on a 35 year old chassis lol

I can't keep tires on the car with original equipment

My mk2 Fazer hellcat is up to 108mph

Hey I got a problem with the car I uploaded a video of it to c if I can help to c how I can fix this i didn't even go fast with it cuz something was wrong

Can you get this car back in stock for Christmas??

it is also available in NITRO don't they? 8th scale nitro..

Do i need a esc or can i skip ecs and buy a castle bl motor

What is the best brand of led for the mk2

Brett it's EMBlem not elboum lol must be a Cali thing

Obviously it looks like a dodge viper. Missed that car tho. :'(

N what light kit can I get for it that flashes n stuff n thats for the kyosho chevelle

Sedan?

Where's the nitro?

Hi. what wheelbase has the car?

Is there a nitro version?

but the canards become stickers

Brett "...and maybe, maybe we will go full speed" Amain hobbies parking lot curb "Please dont"

Sedan???????

26mph is so slow for how much this costs. I'd want atleast 55mph out of it

Elblum?

Where can I get that in a clear body

Yay!!! more sun simulator headlights.... awesome ppptttpppptttt... My eyes.. you know that song.. I wear my sun glasses at so I can .. yeah .. hi.. that's me.. my eyes are quite sensitive and I'm quite sensitive about lol!!

Is it easy to find spare parts?

can I get the body by its self

Kyosho bodies are as good as Tamiya 👍

$230 and it's brushed? What?

I’m doing a 3s install on this vehicle, I’m using a spectrum 3s motor, what pinion can work for this, the stock pinion has a.small motor shaft diameter, and the 3s arrma motor has a much larger motor shaft diameter, any ideas?

Really bothers me. It’s a coupe. Not a sedan.

What pitch gears and plastic diffs?

Do you mean Emblem? not Elblum🤣😂

Emblem....it’s emblem not elblem!🤣🤣 A kyosho I actually want

It should be $150-$165

Was you saying elblem or emblem? Lol Don’t wanna be a Karen here. Jk Sweet lookin car no doubt!

That is not a sedan. Its a coupe! Im embarrassed to post this comment.

That’s not a sedan, that’s a coupe

Kyosho same chassis different body company lol

I like the Fazer MK2’s but this Mercedes AMG is UgLy! 👀 Looks like the house in “The Little Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe”. 🤣

the nitro version is faster out the box.

Brett, since I'm a German, I'd have to punish you for the way you pronounced Mercedes. ;-)
