I was going to get a new shell but couldn't see a listing in the UK so asked Modelsport this was there reply, now I wonder when this happens if will see change in prices and a better parts supply in general for Arrma ? 

Our current Arrma supply does not yet list this body, and unfortunately the distribution agent for Arrma is about to change, as of yet the new agent has not been announced. This would mean that we probably will not have these bodies available for a number of weeks, sorry. 

 

 

 

For gawd sake.

This has got the HPI fiasco written all over it :doh:

I try to buy as little as possible from modelsport as prices are a joke. Would the mt410 shell fit the outcast? Be greedy and keep them both

 The mt410 has no shell its a kit you get the bare bones that's it !

 

There is a Proline shell that fits the outcast but sadly it's nowhere to be found here in the UK good old phils has them though last I checked ;)

Phil's is great with super prices for parts and delivery. What's the ESC connectors on the outcast? I'll have to make something up as all my batteries are ec5's

Cool :) 

I kept throwing wings off with plastic washers on my other 1/8. I use alloy now:

Can smash the thing around and no more wings flying off :D

Just went to change over those springs to find the front shock shafts bent :@.@: i thought i had bent them a while back but just forgot about it, oh well i ordered up some replacements but no UK stock anywhere sucks !! In the meantime i,ve removed the Arrma shocks and mounted up some Hyper shocks to keep me back out bashing.. There a much better shock as the shafts are 4.0mm instead of the 3.5mm arrma give you.. I shall not be replacing the the shafts with the soft arrma ones instead ill use the rear MT4 shafts which are super strong and almost a direct fit up front :)

So I sent Arrma a quick email about my bent shafts not for a warranty claim but to let them know of a possible weak spot there reply was brilliant 

 

Apologised and will be sending out not one but 2 sets as a goodwill gesture and there be looking at it further 

 

Heres my shafts

The 2018 spec has been upgraded with 4mm shock shafts :)

From what I read the main things are the shocks have been upgraded to 4mm shafts, stronger steering servo mount, bigger receiver box and chassis braces have been upgraded along with the bulkheads
