Never heard of it, sounds like a knock off company. Most are turds. It's best to stick with a reputable brand that you know you can get parts for reasonably.

i think its kyosho fazer

Any pics? I like what scrogg said though. Never can be too careful...

 

[Scrogg]

Kyosho parts are expensive and are sometimes hard to come by. I own a Kyosho...

 

[harry]

these pics are from google but it looks the same

if you are from the uk harry, or if NI means northern ireland then the modelsport.co.uk are the company to search for parts for the fazer, they used to supply this car.

there are 2 fazers also, one electric and one nitro....

thnx mehx20 but I'm not sure r I'm going to buy the car as i dont know r they any good.

Kyosho is a large brand with lots of after market support....not sure about the fazor though but just check with where ever you buy rc parts from, online or in person, and see how many parts are available for them. Thank of everything too, screws, nuts, links, replacement gears for everything and so on.

 

[harry]

ok thanks slowngreen

 

[harry]

but is the car worth £70 ?

 

[slowngreen]

How much are they new there? Its always kind of a gamble buying a used nitro unless you know for sure how its been taken care of and maintained, so saying yes its for sure worth it is not an answer you will easily get.

 

[harry]

i think they're around £160-£190 new

but the good thing is that he only had the car out a few times so its like new.

 

[slowngreen]

I hopped on ebay and didnt see hardly any replacement parts, not to say that you can't get them else where but I didnt see much so I wouldnt get it.....maybe a nitro guru will chime in though on this....

 

[harry]

ok i have enough time cause I'm only gona meet the man on tuesday so i still have time to think about it.
slowngreen thnx for all your help

Are you in Northern Ireland Harry ? If so, do you know of any shops / suppliers of fuel or clubs?

Hey Lad, you might want to see if he's posted his email since he hasn't been here in a year.
