Arrma release sneaky pics of there new trucks

 

Looks my next purchase lol

Does look very much like a tweaked 1/8 Kraton.

The only concern I have is the tyres look like 3.2" Badlands style with the big sidewall. From past experience with 3.2's is the tendency to roll over. Much prefer 3.8" size with the lower tyre profile.

Still looks the part though.

 

They're 3.8s - bigger than 3.8 Badlands, but smaller than the bigger, Badlands mtx 

 

Just had this sent from modelsport 

 

Hello,

We have checked with supplier and the outcast is due the first week in December and going to be around the £500 mark.

 Last night it was £650 on the Arrma site today it £825 !! What a joke 

Cheaper to buy a Kraton/Talion and make one using the Typhon chassis and rear centre shaft!

How much! that's just stupid pricing......

Considering that's about all it is other than a shell and wheels oh a wheelie bar there pricing is crazy !! 

 

Mind you i suppose the new battery box plastic catches for the lipo balance leads and that extra bit of plastic to cover the spur where mighty costly to make !! 

 

Sorry Arrma but I think your losing the plot you'd have to be completely mad to buy one of these at this price when you can make your own for a heck of a lot less as well I would of thought ? 

 

Think ill just treat the swb mt4 to a new 6s motor instead lol

I think they have been looking at the way traxxas price things.

That's a little OTT. All they've done is stick a Kraton front and rear assemblies on a Typhon. The battery box is nice though, I like the balance plug holder. The side guards are nice as well. 

Unless the Outcast drops below £400 like everything else using the buggy/truggy platform, i'll be having a Kraton...

As much as I like the outcast I won't be spending 500 big ones on it. That's madness! it's definitely needs to be under £400 

Just got this from Arrma 

 

Hi Richard,

Thank you for contacting ARRMA. 

The price now shown on our website is correct at £534.99. There was an issue with the value shown not including VAT, this has now been updated.

The retail price is set by our European distributor, Revell. This price is a recommendation to the shops. Usually the price in shops is lower than this, I expect you will be able to find an OUTCAST model for less than the £534.99 advertised on the ARRMA website.

Kind regards,

ARRMA HQ

Nice truck but not worth £500+ 

Tower $399 plus $80 posted and tax. Job done if thats what you want 

#blametrump #blamebrexit

Very disappointed at the price, but if it's tough and dosnt need "upgrades" it might be worth it.

 

the Kraton is £200 cheaper surely that is a better buy?

Saves me having to take the wing off..................................

Maybe they saw all the people on internet saying they wanted one and put the price up.

 Lets hope they now see all the people saying they don't want one now at that silly price and drop it back lol but I very much doubt it !!
