Kyosho Fazer Mk2 FZ02L 1/10 1969 Chevy El Camino SS396 4WD RC Touring Car RTR – Cortez Silver

The Kyosho EP Fazer Mk2 FZ02L 1969 Chevy El Camino SS396 Ready-to-Run RC Car replicates the iconic 1969 Chevy El Camino SS396, blending scale realism with robust performance. Built on the FZ02L 4WD touring chassis, it features a G15 brushed motor, oil-filled shocks, and an Ultra Scale body for detailed authenticity. This RC on-road car delivers responsive handling for enthusiasts of scale RC cars and touring car racing.

Performance

The Fazer Mk2 FZ02L chassis, powered by a G15 brushed motor and KS4031-06W ESC, supports 2S–3S LiPo or 6–7-cell NiMH batteries, achieving speeds up to ~30 mph on 3S. The shaft-driven 4WD system with grease-filled gear differentials ensures smooth power delivery, while the slipper clutch protects the drivetrain during high-torque runs. Oil-filled shocks and a symmetrical chassis design provide balanced handling on pavement or light off-road surfaces. Some users note motor heat during extended runs, manageable with cooldowns. Traction may be limited on slick surfaces without tire upgrades, and the plastic gears may wear under aggressive driving, though metal upgrades are available.

Design and Features

The Cortez Silver polycarbonate Ultra Scale body captures the El Camino’s sleek lines, with detailed decals, molded mirrors, and wipers for enhanced realism. Brake disc wheel hubs with 0mm and +5mm offsets support 190mm or 200mm body widths, and the wheelbase is adjustable to 260mm with optional parts for other 1/10 scale bodies. The body may scratch during rough handling, and no LED lights are included, though aftermarket kits are compatible. Full ball bearings and large dog bones enhance durability, with a belt-mounted battery compartment accommodating various battery types. Aftermarket support includes suspension and drivetrain upgrades.

Ease of Use and Maintenance

The Syncro KT-231P+ 2.4GHz radio with a KS202W waterproof servo offers reliable control over a 50-meter range, suitable for beginners and advanced users. The truck requires a 2S/3S LiPo or 6–7-cell NiMH battery and charger (not included), providing 15–25-minute runtimes and 60–90-minute charging. The simplified chassis with fewer screws eases maintenance, though small screws may strip over time. The sealed drivetrain ensures reliable performance on dusty surfaces.

Special Notes: This is a Ready-to-Run model, fully assembled with a pre-painted Cortez Silver body and four AA transmitter batteries included. Requires a 2S/3S LiPo or 6–7-cell NiMH battery and charger. Suitable for ages 14+ with aftermarket tuning options.
