Kyosho | FAZER D2 FZD2 Drift Car Series, Toyota 86

Kyosho's new series 1/10 2WD FAZER D2 FZD2 Drift Car introduces a second model, featuring the Toyota 86 GT body that was developed in collaboration with Toyota and Subaru!

The previously launched FAZER D2 FZD2, paired with the Toyota SPRINTER TRUENO AE86 body, sold out immediately upon release, sparking a new wave of RC drifting craze.

The second new model, the Toyota 86 GT, is expected to ignite another wave of excitement. rcMart is now accepting pre-orders, with arrival expected in mid-June. Be sure to pre-order in advance to secure your purchase!

This model features Kyosho's newly designed rear-wheel-drive (RWD) chassis specially made for drifting. It comes pre-installed with an electronic system and a receiver with a built-in gyroscope. The suspension system and motor placement are tailored specifically for drifting performance. The "86" carries on the legacy of the popular AE86 from the 1980s and is Toyota's rear-wheel-drive sports coupe introduced in 2012, known as the GT86 in Europe.

This version is based on the GT86, upgraded with a carbon-fibre hood and an aerodynamic kit including a rear wing, giving it a more aggressive and battle-ready appearance.

In terms of exterior details, it uses the highly popular RAYS TE37V wheels, faithfully replicating the real car's design. The front suspension system adopts a long-travel double-wishbone structure, providing ample steering angle. It also supports adjustments for caster and roll centre geometry, enhancing handling performance.

Kyosho All-New FAZER D2 FZD2 Drift Car Series

This is a new performance drift platform, equipped with a newly designed electronic device, setting a new benchmark for RC drift cars. This easy-to-learn RWD model uses a chassis designed specifically for drifting, equipped with a gyroscope system for easy drift control, and also features Kyosho's highly simulated ULTRA SCALE BODY (ultra-realistic shell). The chassis supports adjustments to the wheelbase and track width and is compatible with various shell styles. A variety of settings and tuning options allow you to explore the joys of drift control, and the Readyset kit makes it easy for beginners to get started.

Kyosho's meticulously crafted ULTRA SCALE BODY shell faithfully reproduces every detail of the body, including the AE86's iconic opening headlights, bumpers, and mirrors, presenting a realistic display-level model appearance. The ULTRA SCALE BODY PLUS goes a step further, eliminating external mounting holes (shell clips) on the shell, making the appearance even more realistic. The classic Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno, released in 1983, has been loved for nearly 40 years.

Features

Plastic drift tires: Standard drift tires provide the best balance between drift sliding and control.
Brake details: The rims are equipped with virtual brake callipers and brake discs, significantly enhancing the simulation.
Spool Axle: The rear wheels use a rigid spool axle with no differential function to ensure smooth drifting.
Hidden headlights: Supports optional Micro Servo (ON-MS18), LED light set (97054-4HR), and supercharger kit (FAB707-01SMB).
Hidden shell mounting design: The newly designed hidden mounting bracket eliminates exposed mounting posts and clips, ensuring the integrity of the ultra-realistic shell appearance.
Adjustable wheelbase: The resin chassis is divided into two parts, front and rear, and the wheelbase can be changed by adjusting the connection points, compatible with various shell styles.
Battery tray: Compatible with various sizes of battery packs, supporting most RC batteries on the market.
Front suspension: The long-span double A-arm suspension provides ample turning angles and supports adjustable camber, roll centre, and geometry.
Motor mount: No complex gear meshing adjustments are required. Kyosho's 48P 16-37T gears allow easy gear ratio changes.

Drift Performance

Four-Gear Design: Utilizing the motor's counter-torque maximizes rear wheel traction and grip.
Tire Grip adjustment: Adjusting the motor position affects the body's roll characteristics, optimizing rear wheel grip.
Optional differential: Supports Kyosho 2WD racing off-road car gear differential and ball differential to adjust rear wheel grip (requires separately sold universal joint shaft No. FAW305).
Oil Shock: Standard red anodized shock cover optimizes chassis roll performance.
Gear Guard: Installing a gear guard can prevent damage to gears from gravel and other foreign objects during parking lot driving.
Full Bearing Drive System: Standard 16 bearings ensure smooth and efficient transmission.
Built-in Gyroscope Receiver: The newly developed KRG-331D receiver integrates a gyroscope unit optimized for drifting, which can adjust the steering wheel and throttle. Sensitivity can be easily adjusted via the dial.
60A Electronic Speed Controller: KYOSHO SPEED HOUSE ESC (super plug connector) supports three modes: forward/brake/reverse (default), forward/brake, and forward/reverse. The ESC is installed at the rear of the car, optimizing weight distribution during drifting, and can be easily disassembled and maintained with a single screw.
High-Performance Servo: The new KS4072-06W servo provides ideal drift steering characteristics and works in conjunction with the newly developed gyroscope unit to ensure precise counter-steering control. The servo is also very easy to replace.
540 specification motor: Equipped with a G22 brushed motor, the power is easy to control, and suitable for drift beginners and advanced control.
