t2boats Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Shame, there's a supplier issue somewhere along the lines.. have these ever been sold before? Perhaps I'm behind the times but I've only stumbled across them this last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the delay is just a supply niggle along the lines of a late delivery, and nothing more serious. The couple of places I've spoken to expected the brushed ones to sell very well for Xmas - drones and quads may be all the rage but beyond a basic quad there's little comparison in value for money at this price point.

t2boats Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 From looking at the outlaw - it's terrific value! Have had a few ftx models before and been very impressed, so I'm hoping this new release will keep that familiar trend going. I was originally tempted with the Yeti XL kit, but the price (and how much I'd be able to use it due to my job) has put a dent in that idea and so I can't justify it. Then I came across this beauty, noticed there's a brushed version for a brilliant price and it was sold with me straight away. I've got some brushless gear which can go in (120a esc, 3660 3800kv motor, use either 2 or 3S), not too fussed in losing the waterproof esc as I don't intend on seeing if it can swim so yeah, let's hope they're not delayed beyond the 12th, or there'll be some sad faces come xmas (me being one of them, ha!)

johninderby Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 So tempted. Just may get one. Been so impressed with the Outback that if they've done as good a job on the Outlaw it should be very good indeed. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t2boats Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 There's a vid on YouTube of a review of our outbacks, and the chap mentions the outlaw - and just how good it is... I'm glad I've ordered mine anyway, they could sell like hot cakes. it'll be delivered (hopefully!) when I'm just about to return home from sea. My early xmas present to myself I've got to admit, I love the look and appeal of it. Yet again, FTX have offered a competitive rc at such an affordable price. Going by how well my viper and hooligan have performed, if they're anything to go by then I'm sure the outlaw will be just as good. Go on John, you know you want to!!

t2boats Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) It came with the suspension compressed with a zip-tie so it can fit inside the box, it feels a solid rc. Suspension is really supple too. Front could do with some attention cos it's a bit on the soft side.. tyres feel like a nice soft compound and grippy. And the suspension articulation on the rear axle is terrific! Sorry folks but that's about as far as I've gone with looking at it, mad busy getting ready for xmas! I'll have a better look on Monday hopefully.. will start a thread up in the errrrr buggy section??

John Im sure it will to be honest, from holding it I can tell it's a decent girth and the makeup of it feels tip top! I'll give it the thorough once over when I've finished doing what needs doing before for xmas, I'm sure we won't be dissapointed.. ??
