Lone-wolf Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Nice run mate but i am not with you on the tyres, i found they clogged badly then just lost grip, i am back to stock for now but still looking for decent ones, would be happy to spend on small metal beadlock wheels if i could find right size 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next job is to stick some heavier shock oil in the shocks, the weight of the body is a little too much for the stock oil. That looks really good going over those obstacles, especially for a smaller model. Tempted to grab one myself for when I want to travel light and can chuck something like this in a rucksack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth picking one up, great fun and as you say ideal for throwing in a backpack 👍 New body shell versions arriving soon https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/ftx-outback-fury-xc-rtr-1-16-trail-crawler-white-1341028 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCake Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hmm decisions on which one! Love my TRX4 but sometimes it would be nice to put something like this and say a 1/14 basher in a rucksack and run both in a local woodland I tend to use. Think I might go for the blue landy unless they have made any additional changes to these new ones? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine after watching a youtube review from Tomley rc, he did break it but only after running 3s lipo in thick gloopy mud, stick with NI-MH or 2s lipo and i think it will run for ever, also nice radio with switches for lights and hazards, i just really need to find better wheels/tyres 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCake Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Anyone fitted the LED light strip to these? If so, is it easy as far as not having to make holes in the body to run the cabling and is there a spare port in the receiver? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/ftx-outback-ranger-xc-led-light-bar-1334482 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 The new wheels and tyres arrived today just the job, i was worried they might be to big but i think they fill arches just right 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Having fitted the new wheels i found the steering has rusted darn near jammed up this is after one little run in some puddles, now soaking in GT85 hope it sorts out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
