  1. That's a big old unit can't think of nowhere I could run that thing at top speed. Would need a runway.
  2. Reminds me of my action man jeep when I was a boy...........bloody hell im old 😭😭😭😭
  3. Cheers still looking at the outcast but the new losi db pro fox edition has caught my eye as well. All alloy chassis and shocks and towers. Looks pretty sweet waiting for end of March for local hobby shop to get stock in will give them both the once over in store dont want nothing to big 3 to 4 s will do . they did have a mojave on show that is one big rc for the money. Just saying πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  4. How are the shocks holding up are they pardon my French pissing out oil everywhere
  5. Was looking for set myself and don't even own one yet . Seen some doing hot racing conversion with shocks. 40 dollers gets you alu Shock tops and you use bottoms and springs from original think you can order through e bay. You might get a custom charge but can't be too much on $40. Worth a look
  6. Oh crap looking on YouTube about the outcast 4s and on side bar saw link for the new losi tenacity db pro black fox edition. looks like a mini dbxl . oh crap there's just seems to be so many good kits out at the moment and the losi is a real looker. Love the shell end seems to. Be getting rave reviews. Getting really sidetracked looking for stunt truck........... Does anyone else set out to get one truck then seduced by another. It's only £30 quid more ........😭😭😭😭😭too much choice
  7. It Was the outcast 4s that was top of my list the leaking shocks and radio put me off little bit but doing some research and someone said the typhon shocks which are metal fit on the 4s outcast and could get fly sky gt5 for bout 50 quid which is not too bad . liked the 4x4 rustler mainly because I've got four traxxas batteries but it is basically a slash chassis with longer arms which no good as have one already. Think 6s will be overkill as long as it back flips and wheelies and lands with out crumbling like a dunked rich tea it will do me. Not looking to break any speed records.
  8. Never had to buy new radio gear how much and what type would be good upgrade. Wouldn't want to spend more than 60-70 quid on one. Knew this was a bit of issue as heard the range and reliability on outcast radio wasn't great. whats your kraton like is it more better for the track and popping wheelies than backflips. As never owned. A car that can do backflips and my boy would love that.
  9. Thanks mate the traxxas Max was on my he shortlist at first but the widemaxx upgrade put me off they went for looks rather than how the thing drives. Are the typhoon 6s shocks better than other Arrama ones than as all are ment to leak like a babies nappy. Off this week will get down to shop eventually just running through patch off unforeseen bad luck. Boys got tonsiliates so all plans for half term are shot ment to have kids driving lesson and go karting tomorrow all cancelled poor little bugger , sliced my finger quite deep yesterday trip to a&e and our new bed which expecting arrived on time but the van had whole in roof so every bed and frame was water damaged. Now sleeping on floor till Friday. 😭😭😊😊😊
  10. Cheers mate love my slash 4x4 will never get rid of it just love flinging it around the park and doing power slides. But my boy has got his mits on it now and gave me an excuse to look for new toy. Have kyosho scorpion xxl but it's 1/7 scale and still haven't done diff upgrade to turn 6s and to be honest it's to good looking in my opinion for a basher. Reminds me of the old 80s style buggies when I was a kid. Will have to go to local rc store to check out outcast but it's more aimed at rc planes and they can be a bit snooty. Went in there for paint while back and could feel them staring a hole into the back of my neck. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚they don't like strangers round there.
  11. Budget not really a concern just want the best bang for my buck and reliability. Don't mind paying bit more if it's quality I'm getting cant stand buying something and then forking out another couple of hundred quid just to make it workable. Thats why I bought a slash new it was tough and reliable basher just want something better to jump and pop some wheelies and take a rough landing. Thanks for the advice I think it's top of the list at moment just wanna have a look at it first. Do like the look of the little traxxas rustler as well. 😬😬 too many choices.
  12. What servo are you going to upgrade to and do you need to swap out remote. These are sticking point as heard people saying the car went out of range quite easy or just drove off randomly on its own. Have you experienced this or just older models. Also any breakages or is it as tough as people say. Dont want to by a car that needs a ton of upgrades as soon as . Want some fun not a bottomless pit cheers mate
  13. Cheers will have a look at that. Same as you like the traxxas as had one for a while but the slash is more of a chucking around on gravel and grass. And know how bad it is at jumping no matter what body your running. Just not Driven an arrama or seen one going in the flesh. Might take a wander to tjd models near dartford and have a look at one close up.
  14. Ok cheers a.j just bit anxious on pulling the trigger on new purchase . Not as care free with the wallet as some others on here .πŸ€‘πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  15. My gut says that but all my batteries are traxxas connectors and charger. Could get adaptors from ms for couple of quid. Have you driven and outcast are they as mental as they look. Seen you tubers batter them.
  16. Hi haven't been on here in a while ,but have been looking for something a bit silly. Want a rc that can do back flips crazy big air and on demand wheelies....you know the important stuff. Been trolling the Internet and YouTube and sort of rounded it down to a few choices. Want help ell does anyone own any of the following. And are they tough and what offers the best bang for my hard earned money. Leaning towards Arrama outcast 4s. Or the kraton 4s but not owned one before. Other options are from the evil empire that is traxxas because I have batteries and a slash 4x4 from them. The rustler 4x4 vxl and the quite expensive e revo 2.0. Seen pros and cons for both Arrama remotes are bit kack and traxxas are well you know expensive . just want a bit of fun not looking for speed runs or track performance. Any help would be great if people have owned these and advice. cheers and please don't want this thread to turn into fanboy rant on traxxas vs Arrama . Let's keep it clean.
  17. I thought postman pat was the main distributor 😝

    Rc repairs anyone

    Traxxas slash is been sitting for nearly year not sure if it's ecs put battery in just moves slow and then get red flashing light. Not great with electrics and my boys lc racing mt just stopped working. His birthday soon asking for new monster truck. Feels bit pointless buying one when got a Β£500 pound short course truck going to waste.
  19. Hi got a couple of cars that have been out of action for couple of years due to my lack of knowledge on fixing stuff. Pis there anywhere or anyone in Kent area that I would be able to take them for repair. Any help would be great thanks
  20. Congrats ???? not jealous ....really happy you won
