Hi Bieomax, unfortunately that is the epa for the steering servo, not the throttle. There isn't a user settable throttle adjustment but interesting to see from your photo a couple of potentiometers on the transmitter PCB. Time to dismantle mine I think and have a tinker - if one is for a throttle epa then perhaps a strategically drilled hole in the case and a small screwdriver in my pocket may give me the field adjustment I'm hoping for. Currently I've got half an eraser on an elastic band under the throttle switch which'll beg the question from my son 'what's that for?''!

Noob question for you knowledgable Outlaw owners - I'm just back to RC after a 35 year hiatus from Tamiyas. The Outlaw is great fun for my current skill level but I want to dumb it down for my 7 year old. I'd prefer at this point to make a simple / cheap mod until I'm more sure if I want to invest in better RC/ESC etc. Following this thread I'm thinking that getting a 35turn motor may be a good option to slow it down - any thoughts or suggestions on this? My son has been watching rock crawl videos and is pretty keen on that (not many rocks round here though - just tree roots and kerbs) but I don't want to have too high a torque on the stock plastic drivetrain etc using a lathe motor. Crawler mode on the ESC just seems to enable more of a drag brake. Motors seem to be quite cheap and assuming I get the right fit, an easy swap to/from the stock 15T 550 when I want to play. Perhaps another option is a switchable ESC compatible with the existing stock transmitter. Fallback option is some rubber grommits on the throttle to limit movement but I'd rather my son had the full range to play with - just at reduced speed. Shame the stock transmitter doesn't have this option built-in - I've not opened it up yet to see if it could easily be modified. Cheers for any suggestions.
