You absolutely made the right choice....I got one a couple weeks ago and she's a monster. Unbelievably fast with the 30 tooth pinion. I did switch out the esc and motor to a max 5 and a 840 kv motor and it's amazing. Thing is tough as hell haven't had anything break.. take it easy bro. Great video.
I for one really do understand exactly what you mean with traxxas.... there awesome looking and preform great AFTER you upgrade..... and at the price you have to pay for one new and then almost immediately start buying an upgraded gear..... no way buddy..... no way... if they're cheeping out on something as simple as that what's that say about the rest of it. This outcast will 💯 be my next purchase. What a great rig bro can't wait to get mine.😊
I cannot decide whether to get an Outcast, Kraton, Xmaxx, XRT, but this video is made an excellent case for the Outcast. I'm heavily leaning towards the outcast after this excellent video. Thank you for helping me decide.
I had an exb kraton roller in 2022 with a Castle 800kv and esc brand-new ran it like 3 times put away and sold it. Bought my first outcast v2 exb today rtr
Hello fellow Canuck ! Loving my XMaxx but did alot to it to get it decent. Got the xrt this year... servo and steering crapped out on me 1st 2nd and 3rd run so building it up also. Have the kraton 6s and did the total upgrading (like you did actually). The new 8s Kraton is my next one but i think the Outcast might be tougher with that shorter wheelbase. Enjoy
The customer service is definitely un matched. I bought a kraton 6S v5 and it came with a warped motor mount. I ran it the first time I didn't know that it was warped and it messed up the motor poll. I emailed them and within a day I had an answer and I took pictures of the motor mount and sent it to them within two weeks I already had the new parts
I used to love traxxas trucks when they were the only commonly available and supported option for basher. Now that they have competition I buy arrma instead. I find my bone stock arrma trucks are as durable as a traxxas that’s been rebuilt with all the RPM parts. I’ve only found need to upgrade a couple parts on the arrma trucks, servo on the granite 4x4, servo mount on the 6s Outcast, shock rod ends on thr 6s outcast (I have the V2. v3 and up don’t need that upgrade), versus having to upgrade all 8 suspension arms, hinge pins, hub/knuckles, entire shock, body mounts, rear bumpers, and keep a healthy supply of the plastic axles for when they break every couple hours of run time, because the metal upgrades just bend, on the traxxas trucks. I have had 4 of each brand, and I’m down to 3 of each brand now. Guess which ones are collecting dust in the garage….
Amazing dude, I wish i waited for the V2 RTR's to come out but i ended up falling for the sale they did the month earlier so i have the original Outcast 8s EXB roller. But i don't want to sell mine to get one of these. I plan to put a Hobbywing Max 5 G2 with 5690SD G2 1,250KV brushless combo or maybe a Spektrum Firma 160A\1,100KV combo for mine early next year. Update: I feel the same as you do with Traxxas vs Arrma i want to get either a 4-Tec 2.0 VXL or a Vendetta and i feel the Vendetta is a better deal and it doesn't need anything to me vs the 4-Tec which needs a motor fan and heatsink also a esc fan.
I love 8s rigges I have 2 outcast 8s exb and v2 I have a x maxx but it just keeps eating gears I think arrma trucks look really good and traxxas looks like more toyish but I do like it when I keep it running the x maxx is grate.I think 1/5th scale is great I've got 6 and still want more lol keep up the good work 👍
Fanboy lol I'm pretty sure that title goes to me haha Love the honesty, and damn thats so true about the views for traxass. I don't see anything they make that interests me, I only would do a video w/ one as an out of the box heads up rip. End of the day, it's just a solid truck! My all around favorite, I always take one with.
I believe Duperbash mentioned in one of his videos. For $1k... EXB Arrma with an XMaxx. Just looking at the parts you get with them. the aluminum parts you get doesn't even compare with XMaxx. Dollar for dollar the outcast has a much better platform and gets so much more. And I totally agree with him. If that makes sense. Have Fun
I have this truck and the xrt. I am Sure your opinion has changed about how tough it is right? I don’t bash I do speed runs but I feel that if this thing flips it will break parts! My xrt feels like a basher but it did catch fire lol, so there is that.
I was going to Buy the 5th Scale Kraton EXB buuut I may just take your word for this & go with the Outcast does the Outcast just feel more nimble vs the Kraton?
Interesting different people have different experiences. I find the XRT pretty durable. My Outcast 8S EXB I find a bit easy to break, but I am sending it 30 ft high. so... 🤷♂
Dude I had my esc go and had to be sent back, receiver was very glitchy, 2 holes in the chassis, chips out of the skid plate, stock pinion and spur chipped, and my wing mount broke just ripping along the grass. I really enjoyed that truck on the first few drives until I started jumping it.
@@JasonPerrinRCVlogs Yeah, I hear you, the wing mount is garbage, I've snapped ears off the servo, the skid plate has to be replaced every 20 packs or so, Traxxas electronics are pretty iffy, I think I broke a spur or idler gear too, I can't remember.
I just bought this truck today and I just put the wheels on. I just use the included tool and I put them on as tight as I can. The two back wheels look like they are slanted a little bit in words. Is that normal?
Hello I am wanting to buy this truck and want the version 2. How do I know if it's the right one? On the Horizon site it doesn't say. Thanks in advance.
ARRMA outcast fan man .hands down and heads to bow down to the king of bash the f@#$in OUTCAST. don't matter if it's 4s,6s,8s my favorite is my old orange 6s .. anyway good videos. And whatever brand makes you smile is good even if it's Traxxas 😁 jk
so what your saying is it doesn't wheelie as much as the 6s outcast cause of the weight of it just got the kraton 8s rtr last week and its very nimble for such a big truck
For myself the XRT was a beast out of the box. I was a novice and didn’t have much control when i got it. I bashed the heck out of it and nothing broke. I ran into curbs, and had some hard landings on the wing mount and every where else. No breakage, your experience is your experience don’t ruin it for others by saying something is going to break out of the box. I have Arma kraton also;so don’t say i am just a traxxas fan. I just like rc vehicles and if it’s good it’s good if it’s bad then it’s bad but don’t generalize and put out stuff that may or may not be true for others that own the vehicle you’re talking about. This was not meant in anger just informative on what you put out into the world. Peace
I just cant get into the Outcast. Appearance wise i find nothing attractive about it. Especially how much of the chassis is visible under the body. But the crazy thing is i absolutely love the Infraction lol. Great video as always 💪
Had many traxxas vehicles price and quality are not there both hobby shops go to have traxxas cars in boxs for cheap turned in or on the bench brand new that need repair nie looking but just garbage.
Traxxas is cheap garbage they know there's problems they put some eye candy and call it improved and never address the problems but higher price tag esc and servos are crap at best.

Best Deal Ever. ARRMA ARMY
I just bought this truck myself. I also have an XRT. I agree with you 100%. You get more for your money with Arrma for sure.
I couldnt agree more!! Arrma knocked of out of the park!!
Arrma for life!!
It’s so amazing to know how honest you are unlike Somme that we won’t name but it’s fun to watch thanks for that, have fun…

Ive watched almost every vid on the tube about this beast. This is the Vid I've been looking for. Looking forward to seeing you run it.
I cannot decide whether to get an Outcast, Kraton, Xmaxx, XRT, but this video is made an excellent case for the Outcast. I'm heavily leaning towards the outcast after this excellent video. Thank you for helping me decide.
Man, I want one of these so bad lol. Great Video!
I’m surprised Arrma discontinued the Outcast 6s EXB. I picked one up and love it!
I had an exb kraton roller in 2022 with a Castle 800kv and esc brand-new ran it like 3 times put away and sold it. Bought my first outcast v2 exb today rtr

my local hobby shop has it for $600 brand new store display i bought it😁
I bought one I love it ! Two up grades are needed axles and aluminum differential spider gears housings
Wow awesome video, and cool rc car 👍👍💯

Good review. I’m going to invest in to the Kraton 8s v2 soon
Nice honest video, my dream car 👍
I've owned traxxas and theyre geared for the hopup market. My talion is bone stock minus rpm arms and its just fine as it is
Amazing dude, I wish i waited for the V2 RTR's to come out but i ended up falling for the sale they did the month earlier so i have the original Outcast 8s EXB roller.

Great video. I've always wanted an xmaxx but I'm really liking the look of this new outcast.

can you please add a size comparison to other arrma cars like 1/10th scale etc

Thanks for the sub!

The 30T speed pinion they included is way too overgrared. Wish they had a 26-28T included
I was going to Buy the 5th Scale Kraton EXB buuut I may just take your word for this & go with the Outcast does the Outcast just feel more nimble vs the Kraton?
Which is more fun this or the kraton 8s ?

Hello I am wanting to buy this truck and want the version 2. How do I know if it's the right one? On the Horizon site it doesn't say. Thanks in advance.
Can it do backflips easily with stock gearing and all stock setup?
No footage of it driving in this video :(
Are these any good for a newb?
This is 1/5 scale?

Does the kraton backflip easy enough?
Well defenetly not has easy
not had the balls to try yet 🙃@@tdgshadow90

It looks pissed off. Don't f*** with me look. Thanks for the video.
First!
Had many traxxas vehicles price and quality are not there both hobby shops go to have traxxas cars in boxs for cheap turned in or on the bench brand new that need repair nie looking but just garbage.
Traxxas is cheap garbage they know there's problems they put some eye candy and call it improved and never address the problems but higher price tag esc and servos are crap at best.
Now wondering how long I can hold out before buying this truck. It feels as though I have already decided this will be my next large scale RC.
I just bought this waiting for the battery to charge. 1hr is too long
