NOFX Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I've been watching ultra 4 for a few years. I dismissed the outlaw because of having an ftx viper that shattered if a leaf touched it. But I read through all the write ups on here & that twisted my arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTube made me get a km baja a couple years back are the wheels and tyres 1.9 or 2.2 in the outlaw ? as that's one of the things I'm changing first after the electrics Edited March 10, 2018 by RC4WD fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But be careful how deep the hex is on the wheels you decide to buy, if they're too deep they'll ground out against the axle. I've had to fit a set of 7mm hex's to keep the rim away from the axle, but then you may run out of thread on the exposed driveshaft if you go too far... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point that's something that I have to bear in mind was thinking of 1.9 wheels with big tyres as I've read that the stock tyres aren't very good with a BL system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t2boats Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I find them great, they're going to balloon doing high speeds as they're a soft tyre designed for off-road, so the moment some speed is in demand they'll deform as can be seen in the video's I've made. I'm sticking with them anyway as they grip so well and conform to the terrain I use the car on. I think they look good too. Anyone's choice really to what suits them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t realise how expensive YouTube gets! also consider the ftx mighty thunder, terrible shell but if you like to potter on there is plenty you can do with it, monster trucks are great fun, silly to drive but fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickarla Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I’ve no issue with replacing shells, in fact I don’t see it as much different to the Carnage shell which is rubbish quality and will need replacing anyway. It’s a tough call though, I like the Thunder but FTX isn’t in the same league as HPI which costs only a few more ££...but then it can also drive normally when you’re not wanting to stick it’s front paws in the air constantly.

RC4WD fan Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Outlaw arrived yesterday and the lipo and BL system today I know it's been said before but for a £125 or in my case £95 it's a really nice RC the cheapest RC I've owned and so far the one I'm most impressed with its not even sat on the work bench yet just had a look at it and put it back in the box not even going to bother with the stock electrics so hopefully will get the BL in it over the next couple of nights ready for the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
