In this latest offering from Kyosho, the Scale Builder's Guild takes a close look at the Phaser D2 drift car. With a keen eye for detail, the team dives into the car's impressive scale features, praising Kyosho's commitment to authenticity in their designs. From the functional retractable headlights to the classic Watanabe wheels, every aspect of the car exudes a sense of craftsmanship that sets it apart in the world of ready-to-run drift cars. But it's not all about looks - the Phaser D2 also packs a punch with its adjustable wheelbase and locked rear differential, promising an exciting ride for enthusiasts.

However, as the team delves deeper into the car's performance, they uncover a few quirks that may give seasoned drifters pause. The steering gain and throttle gain settings, while intended to aid in maintaining control during drifts, may actually limit the driver's ability to maneuver the car with precision. This trade-off between stability and responsiveness could be a sticking point for those looking to push the car to its limits on the track. Despite these challenges, the Phaser D2 remains a solid choice for newcomers to the drift scene, offering a blend of style and functionality at an accessible price point.

As the team puts the car through its paces at the track, they find that while the Phaser D2 may not cater to every driver's preferences out of the box, its potential for upgrades and customization provides a clear path for improvement as skills develop. With its sturdy construction and attention to detail, the Kyosho Phaser D2 drift car presents a compelling option for those looking to dip their toes into the world of drift racing.
