dazp1976 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 They're 3.8s - bigger than 3.8 Badlands, but smaller than the bigger, Badlands mtx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Cheaper to buy a Kraton/Talion and make one using the Typhon chassis and rear centre shaft! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited November 16, 2016 by mydoddy69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turok007 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I think they have been looking at the way traxxas price things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Unless the Outcast drops below £400 like everything else using the buggy/truggy platform, i'll be having a Kraton... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnie Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) 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 Edited November 16, 2016 by mydoddy69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean-vrs Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) 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?
