If they ain't got one, you could try cml distribution. You can't set the mesh on the outlaw. The motor plate's non adjustable. I ain't got a clue why it's made that way Would that mean that when I pop the motor and the spur in, the mesh will be perfectly set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I've been running mine on 2s for & brushless for a while. Not stripped a spur yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyno Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) Hell fellow owners, Today, I lost the screw of my rear upgraded Rear Central driveshaft (#FTX8372) holding the piece on the rear transmission pin (even though I used some blue lactate...) . I would like to order some replacement but I am not sure to have selected the right one from FTX FTX8583: http://ftx-rc.com/ftx-grub-screws-3x10mm?search=grub screw or maybe it should be those FTX7775 http://ftx-rc.com/ftx-futura-hex-grub-screws-3x10mm-12?search=grub screw I took some measurements and it looks ok ( I measured 3mm wide and 12mm long). Does someone already replaced this little screw? Thks in advance for your help!! Valyno Edited April 24, 2018 by Valyno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bieomax Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 EDIT: I called CML yesterday and found that there was a misprint in the manual. The part is actually FTX6513, if any of you want to know. bieomax, how did you make the hole into that shape? I took general shape measurements from my original plastic one and just created one in designspark mechanical ( free 3d software ) Then uploaded that file to a online 3d printers who can do metal.Ive used a plastic printer at work, but the with this design there isn't enough plastic above the slotted area to handle the heat/forces applied by a motor, which is why it ended up in a metal material.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I must have been lucky. I pull wheelies & rolling stoppies with mine. I don't do speed runs though. These ain't built for doing 30 mph for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickarla Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The only reason I strip a spur is if a stone gets lodged. No issues due to power at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Any tips on keeping the spur unstripped, anything I can do to the transmission?You can convert it to a metal spur, that's what I have done and no more strippy strippy for me.Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ftx vary massively in quality. My viper shattered if you farted in its direction. But the outlaw's had some top speed crashes without breaking.

No, I just drive around, do the very very occasional speed run, but every run I do I strip a spur. The motor and spur are in their normal positions, I don’t have a clue.

rct Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I would love to do that, but where did ya get the metal spur from? Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202274144814 this is what you will need but it will need modifying, you need to redrill the main shaft for the pin, add some washers as spacers and then shave down the inside of the plastic housings.Once thats done it will work fine, well mine has so far and i have been running a 3650 3100kv at 3s on a 3kg custom truggy that i have built.If you want to know more just ask.

NOFX Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 There are literally bubbles in the plastic of my ftx viper. Awful argos grade buggy. But the outlaw's crashed at full pelt & not failed. Only a bent shock shaft & snapped body post so far . They should have a word with qc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Can someone help me something ? On the front swaybar kit what's the bits called that attach to the lower arms that the rod of the swaybar get screwed on/in to ? If everyone can make sense of that can you buy them bits separate so I can make my own for the rear like in that video posted a couple pages back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I was gonna suggest that. The front end's same. It might impede crawling though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
