bieomax Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Would anyone happen to know if a 12t 550 motor (from brushed stampede) will fit in outlaw? I have a new 12t motor and esc from brushed stampede laying around and was gonna buy a rolling chassis and chuck them in itI'd say yes as the standard is a 550 brushed can. Its only the sensored brushless 550/3660's which are a touch tight as they start getting abit close to the steering.Off the top of my head i think its about 65mm clearance between gearbox and the steering assembly.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC4WD fan Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Chassis and trailing arms ordered from Wheelspin models not had much luck with them in the past so I'm waiting to see if it get dispatched today or not even though it says the bits are in stock and not shadow stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Wheelspin have often let me down. The site says "in stock", I order, then the next day the site says "on order with supplier". 3 weeks later i get the parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder it was broke if ya looked at it funny Speaking of braces what other parts is there to brace on the outlaw I've done the real shock/battery holder any other ? and rang up Wheelspin and bits are due to be dispatched today so must have got the last ones I'm looking forward to the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Fair play in getting the parts . The rear of mine feels pretty solid with a brace at the back & one at the top of the rear shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 New removable rear anti roll bar.Got bored today and had a fiddle, made some new removable rear anti roll bar will need to test it as soon as I can.Don't mind the rear trailing arms, my original ones broke and I am awaiting new stock from wheelspin models.Just needed to make something to mock things up and this seemed to work, have also been welding up a new roll cage for my outlaw today as well, not quite finished yet but will post some pics when it's finished and powder coated.Anyway hope this works and I will let you know.Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 New shiny bits arrived but carn't be bothered to fit them all so dose anyone know the length of the rear drive/prop shaft ? I'm not sure I'm measuring mine right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackathon Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 hello fellow outlaw owners, after reading this thread and putting a brushless motor in my outlaw I have noticed what other people have with the torque steer and am looking into adding the front anti roll bar which part number was it again? because I can't remember which page it was on.

AmericanBullDog Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The sway bar holders I linked to won't work for the mod. shown in the youtube videos, the ends of the holder don't rotate so that they point in different directions as the black plastic part of the holder is one piece. The ends always sit just as you see them in the product pictures. I was thinking of doing the same thing but after getting them in hand I found out they are a different type than what is used in the video. I think you could pop the metal swivel part that holds the sway bar out of the plastic holder, ditch the plastic holder, put the metal swivel piece in a regular rod end and match that to another rod end with both rod ends fitted to a section of threaded rod and make up the equivalent of what is used in the video. I hope that made sense to you...it's hard for me to explain what I'm thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's just me or not but the blue seems to be a different shade to the shocks not so light and much more my kinda blue will hopefully be ordering the new body next week depending on the damage if any from tomorrow Edited March 31, 2018 by RC4WD fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
