John Think i need to get myself some 2s, I first ran mine on a brushless 8.5t with 3s and it was just stupidly fast, I've just fitted the 13.5t Turnigy trackstar (ROAR) approved sensored brushless system but dare not run it on 3s as the last test run was barely controllable just wheelies everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 I took the "mild" approach as I was after something that would be a good all rounder. It has OK top speed but is great at slow speed. Also is running the Chinese Irok clone tyres. Stock tyres balloon like crazy and do lead to a lot of rolling over. With the clones it can be slid sideways on tarmac without rolling over. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6ft4Crawler Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I've got the standard tires mounted onalloy beadlocks with proline 2 stage foam inserts to eliminate the ballooning that I got on the standard wheels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bieomax Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Anyone got any videos of there outlaw running a 13.5t sensored brushless ?When i get mine back together i'll stick one up, only running 2s at the momentSent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just rolling Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 i find it enough on 2s, expect it to be a bit too mental on 3s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bieomax Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Aye when i had that 3800kv 3660 motor in it and the 21pinion she went like a scolded cat but it was just the cogging and slow speed control which pained me more to go for a sensored setup.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADH66 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 So, finally got some time and all the parts to fettle the new Ares sensored motor and Hobbywing ESC.Took a few attempts because once assembled the drive train just appeared to lock up. Strip it back, and everything worked in isolation.Culprit? Using the slightly longer screws to screw the top plate into the gearbox housing. The screw ends where catching the spur leaving the two indents and jamming it.Thankfully I carry 4 spur and pinions now in my spares box.Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADH66 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Here the first test run, no cogging and real smooth. Reverse is a bit severe but tuning with the prog card and tx is yet to be done. And the slightly damaged spur is still in there for the testing runs so there's a little extra noise which should go in due course. She's back on stock wheels because it'll be crawling first of all, and the Bugsta wheels ain't great for that. Main changes are Ares 13.5T Pro sensored brushless motorHobbywing 10BL60 ESCTurnigy 1501 17kg servoAbsima R3FS RX and their 4 channel Tx.Ally upgrade motor mount Steel rear prop shaft Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) Been there, done it and finally realised I'd used long screws to fasten down the top plate.

[emoji3] Awiting report on your our first run with the new combo. JohnIt was a relief to realise it was an easy fix. Just got to get over the shame.....Thanks for your input on all this John. It seems a much more "mature" animal now, not the crazy puppy of old.Hopefully I have managed to cure the appetite for spurs too.Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete D Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Finally got mine looking almost like I wanted to. The hole in the side is next to the on/off switch so saves taking the body off Now I just need to give it a good run lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just rolling Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 been out and had a great time, really good for woods etc but a rookie mistake left it rear wheel drive only, front bloody drive cup screw loose, threadlock time, anyone tried a diff locker in rear? think it would help for having fun in the woods and a bit climb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry's Bugsta is so much stronger a vehicle than my Outlaw so it's going to become more of a fast trail beast to accompany my project scx10.2 build.Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk There is a small problem when zooming through the woods, or at least mine, for some bloody reason odd bits of bricks seem to attract to the bloody outlaw. Just had castle esc plugged in for tuning, going to try it with 20% drag brake as it bloody freewheeled a fair old distance with no drag brake, also seems to dip front down a touch when jumping / dropping off stuff so applied a touch of throttle to land it good, bloody bargain though and really impressed with the brand FTX on both this and my outback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
