This looks to be a good honest report on the DR8

Welcome to the Outlaw club, i hope you have loads of paitence and like wrenching! They are fun, but take a while to settle in. Check out the outlaw thread, first upgrades are RW / Steel spur and steel pinion.

Have a blast!

I would have put money on it being a DR8 - that's why I don't gamble, lol.

 

Enjoy your Xmas present

How did the first few runs go Sol; is it still in one piece?

Hope you have managed to get a few decent runs with it since getting it, Although if the weather where you are has been anything like where i am its probably been too wet 🌧️

Well. Xmas day saw me plow into my own Ford Kuga tyre and damage the shell, break a bit of the roof roll cage and also damage a bumper post. After that, apart from a few roll overs, the 2s batteries I feared maybe too slow, are amazingly fast. Having gotten used to it a bit, I have repaired the bits that needed repairing and actually ordered new bits to get it back to as new.

The weather hasn't been great, but had it out now and again.

 

I have now also invested in a second hand ftx mauler. Just for when the weather is against me and there isn't necessarily the room to have the outlaw out.

cheers for asking. massive thumbs up.

That sounds promising Sol, you're clearly doing something better than me.

 

I've got a whole list of replacement bits to order for my Outlaw so all being well I'll be back up and running again.

 

The 2S produces a nice usable speed but I reckon a 3S upgrade would destroy the buggy. 

 

All the best,
