The delay is because of the spectrum stx2 radio that the new Arrma's come with. Look on the Arrma forum there are lots of people who have had issues with it.
Before you do too much, check the slipper and see if it needs tightened. My buddies was like 2.5 turns out and had no go. If that doesn't help, I would totally swap out their radio system for another one you know doesnt have the lag.. Ive noticed with both my buddie's arrma and another buddies losi tenacity that theres like a "dead/weak" spot and just all in all laggy. I threw my DX3S on the tenacity and damn did it make a huge difference!
I lawn darted my kraton till I changed the transmitter ... suddenly no hesitation any more! seriously that new controller is junk ! such a shame as I love the trucks! great video as always :) oh and yes I agree the steering needs alloy base and better servo day 1 !
nice video kev. I thew in a Max 10 in my Granite and night and day. Delay was gone. The tactic radio may also help or maybe use your DX5...Can't wait to see more videos. Glad you and Pat are such good friends. It's nice to see you guys enjoying the hobby. Cheers
I'll be watching for your follow-up videos on the Outcast since you didn't give any final conclusions at the end of this video. I'd like to know your first impressions of it since this was it's first outting, PLUS, I know you're a big Traxxxs fan! BTW, Super great job of editing this video to the music, I LOVED IT!!! (one of your best ever!) I'm a retired DJ, audio/video editor and producer, RUclipsr and r/c hobbyist as well. I know first hand how much work and how many hours (a 5 min. video can accumulate over 10-12 hours of work) that it takes to produce videos such as the ones you do. I love your channel dude, you're doing a great job and you're a hard worker, keep it up! -djsoulforce!
I broke a rear A Arm first time out. Luckily (?) it was before parts became backordered. Differential yoke melted around a bearing within two weeks. Also the plastic differential case and input drive needed replacing. Swapped out the bearings but still had a second input drive wear enough to need replacing. Hoping Horizon will respond with warranty replacement on those parts. A Arms... not sure they'll replace :)
I just got a v4 notorious and the radio was junk had no power at all wanted to run away 3 times I had to change it right away I didn't dare to run the truck a second time with it I would definitely recommend getting rid of it but great video guys
The delays you are talking about, is their at all the Arrma 1/8 scales as well... it's the dummed down arrma firmware in the rebranded hobbywing esc-s. I had the same issue with all my 8scalers from the Typhon to the Nero. I couldn't get used to it, and in air throttle control suffered. only solution for me was a genuine HB esc, the lag dissapeared. Lovely vid mate, keep it up
RPM rear trailing arms for one. RPM front arms as well. Replace the front driveshaft with a steel variant. Other than those, you shouldn't have many issues other than with electronics. One other thing to keep in mind. Tires for it are pretty pricey so you might be better off buying spares when you can afford them.
Now let's find a new servo! Can't wait to see that video cuz I know mine needs one. I don't know if it's because it's so boxy and why but the turning radius is terrible worse than my Outcast 6s but the same servo.
Great run Kevin 👊!!!! The Outcast 4s looks like a Blast 😍. Probably an ideal skatepark basher. Bummer on the breakage, but that was a Nasty hit. I'm wondering if that delay is the darn STX2 controller👀. Just couldn't keep using mine. Felt like a stiff turd in the hand.🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Yeh I think its the radio. Maybe esc also to save the plastic diff gears? I'll change the radio and if it still does it ill change the esc also Other than that it's seam epic so far. Cheers!
Watch out people may call you a fanboy for defending Arrma!! All joking aside your videos are freaking insane!! Hope you both keep up with the awesome videos
@@KevinTalbotTV glad you're digging it Brother 👊. I'm pretty certain the radio is the problem. Can't recall if I mentioned it to Pat 🤔, but the slipper and rear input bearings foul easily in dirt or water 👀. Traxxas 5119 rubber shielded bearings are an easy available alternative. Several guys have munted their rear diff case by not paying attention to this detail 😱. Bearing kits are cheaper of course, but just throwing this out there👍
So I'm just getting into RC cars. I'm not looking to race or get in any serious competition. But the last time I was playing with electric RC cars, the only thing I had was the Walmart versions that could barely Drive in gravel, you couldn't get wet and driving in Grass no matter how short was out of the question. Now I'm all grown up, make my own money and discovered that electric RC cars have come a long way. Recently got me a Traxxas 1/16 e-revo. It's awesome I'm having a blast with it. But like I said I haven't been playing with RC cars for a long time and it's new territory to me. My question is about the batteries. What is the difference between a lipo and nimh? While I'm reading the instruction manual for my RC car it's got warnings about using lipo batteries, but every RUclips video I watch if anyone driving electric RC cars that's what they're using. So what's the difference? What's the warnings about driving on low voltage about question mark does one have an advantage over the other?
Hey Keven- PLEASE make a video on rustler 4x4 realistic upgrades and another video on an 8s rustler 4x4, you’ve talked about doing it and I really want to see it
What a save!!!! LOL!!! It’s that “Arrma delay” yeah it’s fast but just give it a second? Right so I’ll put a mark on my calendar @ 5-6weeks cause that’s when you’ll be getting the part to fix it! LOL!!!! Kidding bro...... sort of?.....
I mean.. My 2wd slash had m3's (so I overkilled it with vanquish links) and weighs a lot less than these 4s models, especially with batterys.. I dont know exactly what will be the best fix, but m4's would be a start.
The end points need to be set out the box to stop the delay..Most RC guys know this..Parts do not take weeks..only days..stop being a Traxxas fan boy by hating on Arrma
@Philly Cheese: No body hated on anything? I don’t own a Traxxas ether. I made a joke that wasn’t meant for you anyways? So how bout you stop hating on people that are having a joke with someone? Stop being so sensitive about a brand man and laugh once n a wile? We’re all just having fun!
@@rcwreck-creation don't speak on shit you don't know about then,Fool..I'm not sensitive I could give a fuck less about you i just don't like haters that have no idea what they are talking about but when called out they always say.."I was just joking man" ..you can eat shit for all i care.
Kev if you had only 500.00 to spend on a basher what would you buy? I’m looking and can’t decide I like the erevo,outcast,Kraton, rustler 4x4 what would be the best bang for the buck
Great video! I've been waiting for this vid since I saw Pat smash his Granite at the same park... wanted to see how long it took before you broke it. Lol That delay is the crap reciever transmitter combo. Mine had the same issue fresh out the box. And there is no reason for it. I don't know why they thought it would be a good idea to put the cheapest Spektrum combo in it... it's the same garbage combo I got with the ECX Ruckus and Buggy. I swapped it out for a spare Spektrum DX2e combo I had laying around after my third jump with it... no more issues. Wish they had stuck with the Tactic combo, or used the DX2e. Maybe they want to sell more spare parts?? Anyways, Cheers Mate!
Hey Kev ! Really Nice video again, I really enjoy your editing and mindset !! Real entertainment ! Which one is the more fun/reliable to you, e-revo or outcast ?
e revo doesn't have the delay but the rear links are awful and the servo is much worse than arrma and it's full lock is about 10° (this is just what I know from kev)
The delay is because of the spectrum stx2 radio that the new Arrma's come with.
Look on the Arrma forum there are lots of people who have had issues with it.
It as there with the Tactics as well. it's the esc-s firmware, not the radio.
@@bananasstuff3344 mine didn't come with the stx2 radio. came with the dx2e. the esc firmware is dummed down on the older models.
Please get the latrax prerunner
Kevin, you need to strike up some RC advertising deals: "Tested Talbot Tough!" Could be worth another Lambo or 2.
i will be early to one of his videos and i will say this
Before you do too much, check the slipper and see if it needs tightened. My buddies was like 2.5 turns out and had no go.

I remember you and pat talking about the 4s outcast crash when he uploaded his bash on the granite
Thank you Kevin for all your informative honest videos
It's either the motor of the ESC keV. I swapped mine out for a hobbywing sc120 combo and it's sorted the delay you're getting.
Kevin get a 1.16 scale e Revo they are really daraboll
Good Job pat on the filming kept that rc in frame. Nice work.
Kev, this is your best edit yet. The filters, Slow mo shots and music choice blend well 👍
I lawn darted my kraton till I changed the transmitter ... suddenly no hesitation any more!
seriously that new controller is junk !
such a shame as I love the trucks!
great video as always :)
oh and yes I agree the steering needs alloy base and better servo day 1 !
Agreed! The transmitter is useless. God knows what they were thinking
@@russellparker4568 yeah I upgraded my tx on my granite blx and it's much much better.
Look like a nice little bash location!
Kevin that Outcast 4S is ridiculous thanks for the awesome video
@3:14 sickest flip ever! 💯
I'd love to see you do some Redcat durability tests. The Gen 8 and the Landslide especially! Anyway love the vids man from Dallas Texas!
Arrma Nero was hands down the best one in my opinion that they produced. the Kraton , outcast , typhon and the rest are just foreplay.
Kev the delay is the crappy transmitter not the esc
nice video kev. I thew in a Max 10 in my Granite and night and day. Delay was gone. The tactic radio may also help or maybe use your DX5...Can't wait to see more videos. Glad you and Pat are such good friends. It's nice to see you guys enjoying the hobby. Cheers
This is my start point in to this hobby.....
Great shots. That was a hard landing.

So far I love it but needs the delay sorting out, apparently its the radio. and it needs a better servo too. cheers
by the way i'm not a traxxas fan I'm an RC fan, but i am a fan of some of their cars like udr, trx4 and xmaxx:)
TRAXXAS FANBOY, LOL
ARRMAGINI FANBOI

im am loving the vidieos,been there since day one
My Kraton had that same problem until Clair's video cleared up the problem
Hi it's Pete from RC Bros, it was a great test. There has been complaints about the radio system. Others have changed it out.
That is one hell of a video!!! Awesome Kev! Love the video. Keep making you're viewers smile and you're haters ignored!
Don't let them bring you down!
Great channel, Kevin! Stumbled upon it yesterday, and will be watching more, one of my favorite RC channnels already. Cheers!
I just got a v4 notorious and the radio was junk had no power at all wanted to run away 3 times I had to change it right away I didn't dare to run the truck a second time with it I would definitely recommend getting rid of it but great video guys
What’s a better basher, and overall. This, or the Traxxas Rustler vxl?
5:15 at 0.25 for all the arrma lovers
Great video Love the skatepark

Thanks dude :)
You’ve gotten really good at editing kev!
Kevin get a 1.16 scale e Revo they are really fun and deraboll
Hey kev could you make some tomble womble shirts with maybe and xmax upside down!
Take the x Maxx and put RC airplane wings on it and see if it will fly by driving fast enough
womble shirts? Anyone from the 70's remember the wombles?
I am from Saudi Arabia, frankly, you have a sweet, fun, and honest person who has information about cars
Thanks dude :)
Nice rc Kev really enjoying your vids
Nice video kev keep up the good work
Arrma have the best looking shells
Kevin needs to make a RC movie
I really love your background music dude!
Always love these kind of vids
is this a good second RC car?
I put the HD Power servo you use in my outcast 6s. It's perfect for it. I'm sure you have one of those hanging around.
2:44 and/or 2:45 Jesus, what the hell was that noise? LOL!
Loving the vids as always, Kev!
Cool Video again Kev😍😍
What upgrades for the udr should I get ( no electronic stuff or aluminum parts)
RPM rear trailing arms for one. RPM front arms as well. Replace the front driveshaft with a steel variant. Other than those, you shouldn't have many issues other than with electronics. One other thing to keep in mind. Tires for it are pretty pricey so you might be better off buying spares when you can afford them.
Hi, I have a question if I could ask for links to aluminum parts that you have in Strada TC
Now let's find a new servo! Can't wait to see that video cuz I know mine needs one. I don't know if it's because it's so boxy and why but the turning radius is terrible worse than my Outcast 6s but the same servo.
The slipper clutch is an issue its too loose out of the box tight it up more
Cool new skatepark Kev! You should go to the one with massive jumps soon.
I keep loving the soundtrack you using. What is it?
3 ' o'clock zombies are the most dangerous and aggressive type. Awesome montage!
haha yes!
Is the 4s outcast able to hydroplane?
can you make a video on how you clean the cars
When are you going to finish building the old manta Ray
Kev would say "soon"...
haha soon could be a year or 2 lol
SOON
Yay I have been waiting for this video!!! I love it!
lol!! this may as well be an official arrma video. good shots!
What should i buy? Its either the notorious 6s the outcast 4s or the outcast 6s
depends how much you wanna spend, 6s need lots of money spending to make strong 4s good out the box
Hey Kev You should get a Losi super rock Rey 1/6 rc car
Love what you do, the video's are excellent
Easy fix for the esc delay. Replace to with the Hobbywing max10 sct
Great run Kevin 👊!!!! The Outcast 4s looks like a Blast 😍. Probably an ideal skatepark basher. Bummer on the breakage, but that was a Nasty hit. I'm wondering if that delay is the darn STX2 controller👀. Just couldn't keep using mine. Felt like a stiff turd in the hand.🤘🤘😎💪👊👊

Sure rotates in the air not sure if I’d like that or not.
Love the vids. Arrma tough baby.👍
so what is the difference between the outcast and the notorious?
So I'm just getting into RC cars. I'm not looking to race or get in any serious competition.

The delay is because you need to set up the end points
You should use your new boat and try to drop it into a pond with s drone
Kevin to do flips traxxas recommend dubble 2 cell lipo battery but how do i connect 2 cell lipo batteri? For 1/6E REVO VXL
I just wish he could do the arrma senton brushless.
Kev i think that chevy c10 would fit on trx4
I am gonna buy it tommorow is it worth the money
Kev make a vid of arrma infraction.
Hey Keven- PLEASE make a video on rustler 4x4 realistic upgrades and another video on an 8s rustler 4x4, you’ve talked about doing it and I really want to see it
He gave. Up on rustlers 😃
Can the Arrma do 6s
4s
1:26 You gotta love the confidence Kevin has in the brand! LOL
about how strong they are wouldn't be surprised if you had a arma and broke it taking it out of a car
What a save!!!! LOL!!! It’s that “Arrma delay” yeah it’s fast but just give it a second? Right so I’ll put a mark on my calendar @ 5-6weeks cause that’s when you’ll be getting the part to fix it! LOL!!!! Kidding bro...... sort of?.....
Seems to me that the links are a weak part of this truck.. If it was mine, id be looking into something a lil beefier. Like say some titanium links
I mean.. My 2wd slash had m3's (so I overkilled it with vanquish links) and weighs a lot less than these 4s models, especially with batterys.. I dont know exactly what will be the best fix, but m4's would be a start.

Hay kev do you have a link to the 4s batterys you use in the outcast ? Cheers bud
I wanna know. You vote for traxxas or arrma?
Nice job, video is grate!
Where did you buy that from
Have you given up on the monster truck?
Kev if you had only 500.00 to spend on a basher what would you buy? I’m looking and can’t decide I like the erevo,outcast,Kraton, rustler 4x4 what would be the best bang for the buck
Are you looking at the 4s or 6s outcast
Felix Laing 6s
Kev motivated me to get an rc truck
Lambo vs rc car drag race!? 😎😎😎
Great video Kev! Love the editing!
Rcfam4life ‼️🤜🤛‼️
Great video! I've been waiting for this vid since I saw Pat smash his Granite at the same park... wanted to see how long it took before you broke it. Lol

Could you send a link for our charger for 4s batteries
Hey Kev ! Really Nice video again, I really enjoy your editing and mindset !! Real entertainment ! Which one is the more fun/reliable to you, e-revo or outcast ?
e revo doesn't have the delay but the rear links are awful and the servo is much worse than arrma and it's full lock is about 10° (this is just what I know from kev)
Love your vids dude also will you get a traxxas spartan
Can you tell the wheelbase of the shell plz .
What’s the song had Kev? Good tune
Kev it’s the transmitter that’s giving that delay everybody complains about that problem
Just change the remote and receiver and you’ll be good to go
Thanks dude :)
Make it a traxxas receiver
u need to buy and test Team Magic e5!! its really durable!!
Use the tactic radio and receiver from the v3 6s range it's much better. And I agree the servo is weak as cheese.
Play with the breaking value im running with punch 4 50% breaks and i control mine smoothly even with the bad radio
Song in the montage?
How is this outcast 4s vs maxx 4s?
