Kyosho Phaser D2: Visual Masterpiece with Beginner-Friendly Drifting Experience

Introducing the Kyosho Phaser D2, a new contender in the world of RC drifting. Unboxing this machine reveals a plethora of accessories, including a hefty synchro controller and a manual thicker than a steak at a Texas barbecue joint. The initial D-inspired body design is a stroke of genius, with attention to detail that would make a Swiss watchmaker blush. From the windshield wipers to the LED-ready setup, Kyosho has left no stone unturned in creating a visual masterpiece.

Under the hood, the Phaser D2 boasts oil-filled shocks and a gyro-equipped receiver, promising precise control on the drift track. However, concerns arise over the plastic shock bodies and drive shafts, hinting at potential upgrades in the future. The real game-changer here is the extendable chassis, a feature that opens up a world of possibilities for customization and body compatibility. It's like having a Transformer in your hands, ready to morph into whatever shape you desire.

Initial test runs reveal a mixed bag of performance, with the throttle gyro causing some headaches in the drift department. Adjustments are made, and the car starts to show its true colors, albeit with some quirks that need ironing out. While the Phaser D2 may not be the ultimate choice for hardcore racers seeking adjustability and performance tweaks, it shines as a beginner-friendly option with a stunning visual appeal. Kyosho has crafted a machine that not only looks the part but also delivers a solid out-of-the-box drifting experience for enthusiasts of all levels.
