SGG Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hi guys I bought an Outlaw at the end of April. It's been good fun so far - nothing too major to fix, although have really only been driving around the back garden! I like a little project, so have done a few upgrades, mainly to get to know the workings of the car. I have learnt that Locktite is your friend!!!! I'm running a 2S lipo, and am planning on upgrading the ESC / converting to brushless in the near future. Hoping to get lots of advice from this forum, certainly have had some interesting reading so far! Cheers Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Welcome to the forum Steve... If you've not gone brushless yet, there is no turning back, huge increase in performance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snfu Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Drop the battery tray onto the top of the spur gear cover. That does wonders. If you go brushless, get a steel rear drive shaft ( the one that goes from the gearbox to the rear differential) & locktite EVERY screw & grubscrew. Otherwise that's the only mods that need doing 😊. & Welcome to the weird world of msuk 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the steel CVD shaft and swapped out the spur and pinion for the RW equivalents in readiness for BL. Any tips for which setup to go for though?

Nick Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 It depends on your budget and also if you wish to stick with 2s or move up to 3s Lipos (more power, more fun, more stuff breaks )? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGG Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Was going to stick to 2s at the moment and not really sure about budget, maybe something good value that works well, rather than something too serious and expensive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
