Iain .R Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Well I got my outlaw today .so iv been charging up the battery . And easily going over the car . . I see there a few upgrades I want to get . Also. I have to bind the reciver and failsafe as it's new. Iv looked on you tube looks easy enough. Once the battery charged I'll bind it . Cant wait to get this out side to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT IT WAS ALL READY DONE . So leave the instructions alone. Lol . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain .R Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Well the car went out today I stayed in lol it's faster than my carnage and bit wide bounching about over bumps well I got a bit distracted and crashed it yea yea (only a wee bump) only then I noticed that the body over laps the front bumper which if it was a full on crash I'm thinking that the body which is fixed to the roll cage will move back which the roll cage is sitting.on the shock tower the VERY thing posts will.snap . So I'm.asking has anyone done this had a crash and snapped these if so I guess alloy ones as replacements Is there any way of extending the bumps on the ftx outlaw forward so the body sits behind the bumper NOT in front of it cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was when our little un drove it off a 80ft rock strewn drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azibux1 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Does anyone know what might be causing this? Sat still, with its own weight on it, the car won't steer fully. I have a friend who has an Outlaw and his does the opposite, steers completely left to right without issue when sat still. Mine seems to be "struggling" Steers fine if the car is moving or if the car has no weight on it VID-20210112-WA0133.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the bar from the servo might need to be shorter so when it pulls back it dont travel so far then pulling the steering quicker. (Just a guess ) I'm sure some RC guys will know .

So almost as if it's all correct but it's just struggling hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servo saver cant be tightend, you might be able to shims / washers to stiffen the spring. Edited January 12, 2021 by Redback 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I remember where I last saw it? Of course not! haha The only purpose is to stiffen the spring? If so I'll try a washer or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need a longer screw through the suspension tower to go into the bumper. The bottom fixings on the chassis are the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azibux1 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Yeah sounds cool but pics aren't working haha Where did you source the right screw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAL3D Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Ah, sorry - will try again: I secured it by using the upper suspension arm location and a longer screw - 20mm I think. (Whatever is in there; add about 4-6mm) I got them out my toolbox but can get them from ebay or amazon for a couple of quid. Bottom is the same fixing as the little bumper. Mines been on for a while now and holding up well. I did put a couple of nuts on the top side of the bumper / chassis point so it wasn't only the plastic bumper threads doing all the securing.
