SO CLOSE, BROTHER!!! 😮🎉 This was so much fun to do, I'm so glad we decided to do this shootout! Great to be able to share a bit of footage too. It's amazing how we both ended up Changing our driving styles to achieve our best times! Freaky! 😅 So now we'll move on to some off road challenges and like you say, it's all to play for and the Fazer may yet have its day! Brilliant edit my friend, top job. Now bring it on! Cheers! 😎🍻👊👍
Yeah dude, I still find it unreal that we both hit a 9.10, that's crazy! Not gonna lie, I really thought the Mk2 would have dominated here. So I stand before you all humbled, and ready for the next challenge! This has been a ton of fun, can't wait for the next round!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS type of competition series!! Most guys build and don’t use the cars/buggies! It would be really fun to also do it with some re-re’s! Looking forward to this. Hey better yet also challenge Mick over at RC hobby shed! He’s a mad man as well! Love it man! So much fun! Thanks
Awesome dude, so happy to hear you're enjoying the series! Agreed, some re-re's would be great to include down the line. And adding Mick in? That'd be wicked! He's such a great dude!
As a TAMIYA TT02 Fan Boy, I love this competition. Well done to you and Mark, it made me laugh out loud whilst I watched the video this afternoon. An excellent start to the weekend 👏🏻👏🏻
That's great to hear, Paul. The goal is to get some great RC action in and get you guys to have a few solid laughs along the way. I'm glad you're enjoying the competition. Even if Team Kyosho did lose... Haha. Cheers pal, have a great weekend.
the power of the internet..CZcams..and 2 buddies that really enjoy the hobby both on different continents and different time zones..awesome and excellent at the same time! cheers to both of you and can't wait to see the next challenge!
You guys won this round, Paul. But Team Kyosho is fierce, mean, and now practicing "Eagle Fang" Karate. With our new moves, Team Tamiya doesn't stand a chance!
Awesome! I'm glad you're enjoying it, Paul. We're not done yet, there's going to be plenty more action to come! It's just a little slow, as we have about 4800 miles between us, it takes some time to organize everything and make it work. But it's a ton of fun putting it all together, and I think this series will be great for viewers. Thanks for commenting!
Scottish and Canadian weather is pretty similar and so is the landscape so it should be a fair enough test for a close race. Good luck boys, may the best car win or driver.😊😊😊😊😊
That was a very close challenge Phil, pity you lost that one by 1/2 a second not much in the grand scheme of things given the different circumstances you are playing in. Nice job from both of you, awesome challenges still to come. BRING IT ON BOYS.😊😊😊
Thanks brother! It was SO close! And Mark and I are about 4800 miles away from one another, which I think really accentuates the similarities between these platforms. No tomfoolery here, just Tamiya v.s. Kyosho. 😉😁👊🏼
Hey I enjoyed that Fil. I like how you had Fil on the camera 🤣 You need to learn how to say Hiya like Rob 😁 Anyway it seems that slow and steady wins the race but fast and slidey is the most fun. Great stuff my friend 😁👍👍
I've got to work on my accent, lol! I did try to do my best Rob impression, but it needs some polishing. Haha. Glad you're enjoying the series, Pete. Have a great weekend dude! 👊🏼
Soooo close! And we both nailed 9.10 exactly! How crazy is that?!?! 🤯 And thanks for the compliment on the car. She's an oldie, but a goodie. I'm a sucker for V8, RWD cars. I'm hoping to get her on the track this summer! 🙏
Very cool stage you guys! I found with the stock motor, tires and gearing, the Fazer slides out nice on pavement once you get used to how the car handles. Congrats to team Tamiya on this one! 🎉..Off-road though, you're going down Mark! 😁
@@poorboysrc if it wasn't so hard to synchronise the courses. The way they did rallye in Eastern Europe (running behind the car), would make your both viewers scream for fun.😉😁
Excellent, Fil! This is great entertainment, I love all these shootouts, and you guys took it to the next level, this cross-continental Subaru challenge, it's great! Of course you got beat this time, I already watched Mark's video. This is great, looking forward to see some more of this! Have a great weekend there, dude!
Slow it down for sharper turns and more control. Makes total sense. Good fun and amazing how close the buggies are, pretty much a tie but great entertainment 👍🏻
G'day mate🤠🙋♀️, New Car!! 😀 The steering wheels on the wrong side😂. Nice run Fil👌, the slow down to go faster looks like it's the go👍. I can't believe how close this challenge is mate!, nothing in it. We reckon Mark might hake sped his video up a bit but don't tell him we said so🤫🤣. Thanks for sharing your slalom run mate, heaps of fun to come too👊🦘🇦🇺
Yes sir, it's almost summer, which means it's convertible season! That car turns 20 this year, but she's still in great shape. 👍🏻 I think you're right, Mark may be up to some shenanigans over there. I can tell when he and Rob are cooking up trouble. Haha. But that's OK, we'll get him on the next one! 😉
What an intro man, living the dream! 😎 So, you got it right mate- The Subaru won!! 😂 😅 🤣 Boy that was very close indeed mate, great effort. Your fazer looked quicker on camera, it certainly sounded faster with that characteristicly loud Fazer gearbox whine to! Some nice driving skills displayed, but it just wasn't to be this time mate. Well done Mark! I'm still in favour of the Fazer any day..... let's see how things go off road eh buddy?! Hugely entertaining content fella! 🙏 👍 👍 👍
Haha thanks pal! It's convertible season, so I got the old gal out for the summer! Not a bad looker for a 20 year old car, hey? 😉😎 I honestly thought the Fazer would spank the TT02 in this contest. I got cocky, didn't adjust my ride height at all, and just went for it. Man oh man, was I wrong! Game time is over, time to get Kyosho on the scoreboard, James! Have an excellent weekend pal! 🍻😁
@@poorboysrc Oh yes indeed, beautiful car man!! Personally, I won't own or drive anything younger than 20 years old, modern cars are so bland, over reliant on complicated electronics and so damn fugly!!! I currently drive a couple of vintage e36 beemas..... delightful!! I'm still backing the Fazer mate, all is not lost yet!!! 🤞 Just working on mine as we speak as it goes! Had to burn off the fused together rear prop cup and replace it with an alloy upgrade,and replace the prop shaft and prop cup bearings . To make things worse a few of the bloody hex screws stripped and I had to drill them out to get it all apart. I've replaced them all with stainless Philips screws instead which I prefer! All put back together now..... It's now 1.30 am and I need to take it out for a test run, this is not guna go down well with my neighbours! 🤭😬 Best of luck with the rest of the challenges dude, common, we can't have the mighty Fazer beaten by a TTOPOO! 💩 😂 👍 👍 👍
Wow!! Nearly got him Fil!! One run is all it took though from Mark! I think if you had stayed out there another 6 hours you might have got him!!! Pesky Mark Bryan and his good driving…. 😁
@@poorboysrc looked even better in slow mo!!! He nearly wiped out his foot though. I forgot to check though did he score that time with his “sub car”??? Are you sure it wasn’t an XV01 in disguise????
@@theoagrc well you know, Craig. I thought there may have been some tomfoolery going on there as well. Who knows? He might be running a Kyosho Fazer under that Tamiya body! 🤔 Gotta keep a close eye on that Mark Bryan! 😉😄🍻
@@theoagrc Haha 😄 great banter guys! But I did show that backup chassis and you can clearly see it was a TT02!!! I have the disguised 🥸 XV01 waiting in the wings for the next one! 🤣🤪👍
That's awesome, Tank! Keep us posted on how it goes. I'll be out of cell service range as of tomorrow but I'll get caught up on Tuesday when I get home. Have a great long weekend buddy! 👊🏼🍻
Nice one Fil. So close fella. Can I join the affray please🤣🤣😂😂😁😁? I have a video coming out of my New Buggyra Fat Fox truck over the same course as Mark but with a difference!!! All the best buddy.
I want to see them eat some dirt, can't wait. I am brainstorming on how to add some mudflaps. A couple of Rally chassis covers and other bits are due to arrive tomorrow, so I'll be wrenching. 👍🏼
Ooooh snap! What a close one indeed! How do tires figure into this scheme? I am pretty stoked about the off road sections too! Also, What distance between markers did you use? Cheers
I've got 4 of them now! Haha. 1 I used in the speed run challenge. Then the Lancia Delta Integrale Rally, and a couple TT-02B's (Dual Ridge and ??? Something else... lol!) I do really enjoy the TT-02, it's fun, inexpensive, they're a great platform. This Kyosho Fazer Mk2 is here to try and see who the master of the "versatile 4WD platform" is! 😉😁👊🏼

Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
Wow, this is such a great series and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Can't wait to see the next episode.

"We got Fil on the camera" 🖐"Hello". Got it and can't stop laughing.
Althought I like speed runs, this is the best part of the competition so far.

Yeah dude it was much quicker slowed down. Maybe the driver could use a little fine tuning. Lol! Thanks for watching pal! 👊🏼
Yeah, dude! That weather really calls for some outdoors enjoyment! Aren't cones the best to put in some good practice? Good job out there! 🤙🏻

I know, hey? There's this instinct to hammer the gas, but slower was indeed much faster.
Nice one. The "slow" method seems good. For sure, a Subaru will win 😂
Slower was faster, funny, hey! Maybe my driving skills need some sharpening! 😳
Looking forward to the dirt. High speed oval might be cool. Old school nascar style
That's a good idea! 👍🏻
That's some good driving. I would have hit every single cone and just called it a durability test.
