They have the Granite 1/10th MT which won basher of the year 2  years in a row on big squid but it is only 2wd, it's just had a make over as well  

I could win basher of the year on Big Squid if I sent them enough money. Notice how they never slate a product they review in recent years, because they're all advertorials.

So it's a short wheel base Kraton and a further upgraded Nero. I bet anyone who got either the Nero or the Bigrock are kicking themselves now.

Vaz just unboxed the Outcast and Fazon

 

 

 

 

 

Love the look of both, but i really dig the Outcast

This I like

Its too similar to a Savage Flux or a E-Revo though, that have been out for what nearly a decade? Standing back flips, wheelies in a 6S 1/8th Scale Monster Truck? Isn't it a few years late for that?

And it has a WING!!! WHY!!??

 

[Pistonhead]

It uses a Typhon chassis not the Tallion like chassis the Kraton, so much shorter wheelbase - allowing it to be much more nimble in the air. 

 

I noticed the wing is part of the wheelie bar, but the spoiler can be removed. 

 

At least it's not a bigun like most others

Perhaps it will be the holy grail 6S 1/8 scale MT - doesn't need a single upgrade or aftermarket part to work.

That would be amazing, but still too late, we've moved on from 8th scale MTs?

I see the outcast is advertised as a stunt truck what can it do that others can't?

It slid on its roof pretty well, must admit !!

 The Outcast is nothing like an E Revo with its cantilever shocks or the Savage flux with its tvp chassis .. it's more like a buggy on steroids ! 

 

Its a SWB monster truck / truggy a bit like what I did to my mt4 these things are awesome fun to blast around they handle like nothing else the power to weight is fantastic and the in air control leaves you wanting for nothing .. 

 

Honestly try one your be pleasantly surprised just how much fun they are ! 

 

The bonus with this is they've done all the donkey work for you

Hopefully handle like a nat on acid like my swb mt4, that handles like nothing I've ever had the pleasure to bash with

 Why have we ? What's better than a nice 8th scale MT to blast away a few hours with ? 

[chewbacca]

But it has a WING!

[Pistonhead]

Notice the screws on the roll bar on the body of the Outcast? They're there for the sole purpose of making sparks if/when you land on the lid! 

 

Now that i like!

[bunnie]

I really like the look of the outcast. I was dead set on the senton but this has just messed up my plans 

[tomr]

ooooooh Likeing the outcast .........Likeing it a lot 

 

[sean-vrs]

I'm really liking the outcast, the wing looks mint 

 

any prices yet?

[bunnie]

Fazon £670.99

 

Outcast £446.99

 

That's off the arrma website. shop prices are normally a lot lower than that. 

[Kpowell911]

Missed the fact the out cast was 1/10th. 6s plus 1/10th is cool!

[cookie666uk]
