3D metal printing wow that's so cool

added the alloy rear roll bar links today defo a good upgrade, the plastic ones wouldn't grip as the screw stripped strait away in it so much less body roll now (I have carnage front anti roll bar fitted too)

just a note for all you upgrade nuts Fastrax M4 flanged nylock nuts, the thread on the drive shafts are not long enough to reach the nylon in the lock nut (so not suitable) Tried a set of the Fastrax hard springs (reds) they don't fit , diameter is to small (not suitable)

New wheels from an ftx spider, very soft so filled them with memory foam

I mounted mine on the roof but its a bit vulnerable there, there a bit to easy to roll. I'm going to take out the driver n mount an aluminium plate there to mount my cam (before I break it lol) Driving fpv is a blast

made this today. 2.5mm aluminium chassis , should I cancel the one I have on order ?

@johninderby That is looking very nice. need to get some wheels for mine.

I broke my prop the day I fitted my brushless motor too steel prop fitted now but I do have 2 1/2 spare plastic props now, the steel prop was on back-order so I ordered two plastic props and put the steel one on order. the plastic props came the following Monday followed two days latter by the steel prop !!!!!

Some up grades to the outlaw Still waiting for the main chassis plate, its on backorder at mo Trailing arm holders, link holders on the axle, rear frames, battery box supports, steel prop shaft, motor mount (17T) and Radient Reaktor 3500kv brushless motor and waterproof esc. This thing fly's on a 5000mah 2s Carbon shock tower, Carnage front anti roll bar, steering knuckles, uprights, hinge pin holders and wheel adaptors on the front. Lot less body roll now.

+1 for the Hobbywing Quicrun 1060 esc got one in my NeXXt 3s and waterproof (for brushed motor) I went brushless in mine . Cost me 55quid for a motor/ESC combo (3s and waterproof) Supper quick now n wheelys like a mad thing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RADIENT-Reaktor-ESC-and-Motor-Combo-Set-3500kv-Sensorless-540-Size-1-10th-Scale-/262720335180?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368 this is what I put in mine

Anyone out there in Rc land come across alloy shock towers for the Vantage or Carnage ?

I'm curious, why would you go for that esc? Its not water proof I think the load rating is somewhat hope-full, bearing in mind the gauge of wire used (14 awg) I would think maybe 35A 320A mite be a peak for a few seconds Better to spend a couple of quid more on a branded waterproof esc if you ask me

No its still as it came in the box. seems to soak up the bumps pretty well as is

thanks @hamradioguy Only prob with fpv (that I have found with my quads) is its very hard to go back to line of site after, its like being a nube again lol and not as much fun fpv is a rush Gota say this Outlaw is fast becoming my favorite toy, It handles the ruff stuff n jumps so well and as you can see there big jumps

You should try it with fpv goggles on. its completely emersive to the point that if your not sat down or leaning against something you will most likely fall over

i will bear that in mind. I too have only had good experiences with modelsport both on line and over the phone In future I will be calling before I order to confirm stock though It was neither I have had a reply and a refund from one of the companys this evening (within 20 mins of mailing them) they wont get a bad review or go on my blacklist the second company has till 5pm Monday before I start throwing mud On a lighter note, for anyone who has wondered what it would be like to actually drive there outlaw around a bmx track heres a video driving mine Fpv enjoy I did

To be honest what really pisses me off is one of the parts was the steel propshaft to replace my broken plastic one so now I cant use my Outlaw this weekend I could have ordered a plastic prop for the weekend had I been informed sooner

Well I ordered a hole load of up-grade parts for the Outlaw, all showing in stock (two different shops) both orders for next day delivery (Tuesday) its now Friday and no parts. I wont name and shame yet as I am waiting on replies from both shops to the emails I have sent them this evening. I find it a very disappointing state of affairs as both of these shops websites are still showing the parts as available (when clearly they are not) The total of my orders is just over £180 Needless to say it is unlikely that I will use either of these shops again. They both have actual stores, not just online retailers. And they wonder why we don't support them more!

did a few upgrades on my FTX Vantage Fitted ally chassis plate, front and rear anti roll bar kit, ally rear hubs Carnage wheels, Carnage front bumper and a 17t pinion (going to run it 3s)

My next lot of upgades are on there way, ally chassis and all the chassis mounted upgrades plus the steel prop. @hamradioguy I have been running my cars FPV (great fun) I use an all in one camera/DVR transmitter I got from hobbyking. 400mw so gives good range and recorded image is very good too, Works perfectly with my fatsharks. Skyzone SKY-H01 HD FPV/Action Camera and 400mW 40 Channel Transmitter for under 50 quid its pretty good n gets the job done (not water proof though) Had a few big rolls and tumbles with it on the roof.

New member Hi All Got The Outlaw from a local model shop just before Christmass. Found this forum yesterday. Upgraded the motor to a brushless combo this morning and have fitted an Etronix metal geared waterproof steering servo. Broke the rear prop this afternoon. First blood LOL anyway here is a vid of the truck after the motor upgrade and one from a session at the local BMX track from a few weeks ago. The truck is being driven first person view with my fatshark goggles. If you haven't tried driving FPV you should. its a blast

FTX Outlaw Upgraded the motor on my brushed FTX Outlaw to a Brushless
