ADH66 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 [/url] Had a bit of fun tonight with the little fellow (not that little fellow [emoji14] ) but its really making some clicking noises now and it getting worse....performance doesn't seem to be affected though...sounds likes it coming from the front.. I had that, it was the grub screw on the front drive shalf cup (otherside of trans casing) unscrewing and hitting the motor casing. I'm also wearing the cup at the front diff end of the prop shaft which clicks too i suspect. One half of AnT R/C on youtube, see my SCX10II in action there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Looks like you've bought one of those "professional race buggies". Well, that's what it normally says on the box.? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeypaws Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hello, first time posting. Bought an Outlaw for my son to come out and get into a little bashing with my Yeti and have to say it has been amazing. When you look at the money thrown at the Yeti have to say that out of the box the Outlaw has held its own. Quite often find myself handing the Yeti over to my son and having a go with it, there is something about it that dares you to give it the beans. The one problem we have had, which seems to have come up here a few times is occasionally stripping out the spur gear, esp now on 2S. Looked and looked for something to replace it with, was there another model/make with a compatable metal replacement but all searhing drew a blank. I then came across a chap based in the US on ebay who had made some rather good looking spur gear replacements in aluminium and steel. Emailed him with the tech specs of the Outlaw gear to see if he would be able to make one up. Turns out he had had a few other enquires and was in the process of making a batch. They are a direct replacement of stock gear, same tooth count and pitch but has made them in steel and if you are interested they are at https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132731309667 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetoR Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Great first post, Monkeypaws. Thanks for sharing! I won't get one right now, but I've saved the seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeypaws Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 No problem, having a yeti you are so spoiled for hop up parts and while the Outlaw is better than some, this was just one of the things that irked me, seemed so odd not that they didn't offer it. The chap was brilliant, exchanging emails through the process to ensure it was just right. He has only made 6 so far but is making another batch this week. Plus, now he has the template, am sure he would always be open for a short run if there are none available. Will post an update once it arrives to review how it fits in.

steephill Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Has anyone had any experience of the carbon chassis? I have broken two plastic chassis plates. Both in the same place. And there seems to be no stock off the aluminium chassis. Edited August 7, 2018 by steephill Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dubious about the carbon, even though it'll look a lot nicer than that garish blue aluminium one! I'm just going to wait... unless it's going to take months!

steephill Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Ordered a carbon chassis. I'll just have to drive it like I normally do and see what happens. The other plastic chassis's I have broken are the usual landing awkwardly on one wheel on a hard surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The carbon chassis turned up today, thanks modelsport ?. Certainly looks nicer than the anodized blue aluminium chassis. But there doesn't seem to be much meat (or carbon in this case) around the mounting bracket for the rear arms. I will get it built and see what happens.

Yeah, that was my concern. Best of luck with it. Hope it holds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
