Pistonhead Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Fitted my Über RC air filter kit to the X2 - only just fits under the cage, but it looks to be the least restrictive of the relocate kits i've seen for the dbxl/5ive/x2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you would think something on that rear wheel would have broke but it was still in one piece, just broke a body post but no biggie. We plan on making the jump higher if possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need the bonnet on the inside and it's incredibly difficult to do, I used two A4 sheets trying to do it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t2boats Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Today I changed the shock oil in all shocks on the outlaw to 30wt oil, nice and plush now! Also fitted the 3800kv motor and 23t pinion, and replaced the steel screws on the gearbox with stainless. Just need to solder some connections on the esc and add the strut brace then it's ready to go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t2boats Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) It'll be just a piece of stud bar with lock nuts which'll go between the rear shock towers and one on either of the outsides. Simple enough and will help strengthen that bit up hopefully. Was quite chuffed at the shocks actually too, opening them for the first time they were all full and the cap and seal ends were tight Edited January 30, 2017 by t2boats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Almost a runner, just needs shocks rebuilding (awaiting o-rings, HPI ones) Also lights on the Ascender (with indicators, work when you steer L / R) Edited January 31, 2017 by ostewart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Went around to the in-laws this evening to help my nephews identify and order the correct parts to fix their RCs after last weekend's race meet. Younger nephew didn't need much, just a new wing. Older nephew on the other hand needed almost a whole new car - £60 odd in spares. To be fair though, his car was very well used before he took it racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t2boats Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I began converting my other Outlaw last night to an SCT. Fitted FTX ali upgrade front hubs/castors etc, added a GoolRC 4300kv 3650 motor with 120a esc. Opened up all the shocks (which were full from the factory) and put 30wt in the fronts, 25wt in the rears. Lowered the rear suspension to allow the SCT body to sit nicely on top. Oh and fitted a 13kg metal geared steering servo. All that's needed now is to fit higher body posts on the rear end, rear strut brace, and order some ali rear hubs, steel prop shaft, and the two ali motor mounts (17t and 23t).. find a decent bumper from somewhere which would suit the mounting positions on an Outlaw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
