mydoddy69 Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 Been waiting on this one for a while think it will be a lot of fun yet to see any U.K. pricing but I’m guessing it will be in line with the Kraton. Hoping to get one but will see 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll wait for the price drop or just won’t bother can’t pay more for a smaller version that’s just crazy even if it is just a tenner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-racing Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 This will have strong chassie, because it it shorter than the Kraton 8s. Insane jumps will be no problems. RPM A-Arms is needed, All these Arrma 8s stock A-Arms sucks 1100kv Hobbywing with MAX 5 will be nice to this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Well.. I always babbled on how i'd have bought an Outcast 8s EXB in a heartbeat, so i guess i have to put my money where my mouth is. Though, for safety, i'll wait for a few reviews. If it's everything i wished for, this is my next RC, this time a bit more sensible as opposed to my Kraton EXB - no castle shenannigans, just a Max5 combo, either, uhm.. well, 1100 or 800kv, gotta read into that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-racing Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Hobbywing MAX 5 800kv or 1100kv are both very nice combos. Easy tune with programcard. Half price to Mamba. Mamba is way to Overpriced outside US sadly. i will buy this one coming Autumn, got alot other things going on with 1/8 rigs and projects. Im waiting for TALION EXB 6s when will this come? I like snow bashing alot winter time. These Heavy 8s Arrma rigs with RPM A arms must be best in snow ? All Others weight too little . Here is a nice Unbox video OUTCAST EXB 8S Look at that Cool looking new body Almost Total Matte-Black Amazing Edited June 5, 2021 by m-racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 Well found a price I’m extremely happy with so this is looking like it will go ahead now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydoddy69 Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 Found them in Germany for £584 shipped so do I take the gamble on fees being added ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logie Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I believe VAT gets put on, not sure on import or anything. But with VAT thats £700 so same as the shops in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I don't think they can just ship anymore, they'll have to charge you UK VAT, then ship it. I bought a drill this way, cost me a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay the VAT at the checkout. Nothing “slips through”, as its paid when you checkout. Its all auto calculated. Doesnt matter where its from Ive paid tax on a $65 order from Jennys ($10ish at checkout) and even on the Vitavon Servo mount I brought off eBay which came from China, 99.99% that wouldve got through no fee’s this time last year. Things do seem quicker getting here though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things do seem quicker getting here though Looked into it, this company take 19% off before shipping to the U.K. but when it lands you get hit with 3 extra payments duty, vat, and a handling fee which sucks and no chance of getting it slipped under the radar lol Don’t even work out cheaper if your mate bought it and carried it back in his suitcase as you don’t then get to loose the 19% off Brexit well and truly done us on this one 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just not worth taking the risk on such a big item in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
