Very cool to see you bashing a bigger truck. Very cool that the kids are out there having fun with you. Max sending the senton over the moon outta nowhere over the Outcast was great to see. And of course, dragons are freakin' awesome.
Also, the Kraton 4s v2.5 is great too. Faster than outcast because it doesn’t backflip at full throttle. Kraton with dBoots backflip LPs (Outcast tires) for off road is AWESOME.
I got this for myself as a christmas gift as well lol. I should mention the V2.5 only came out in black and red. (The gold and blue is the older version) and I only noticed when I was helping my dad buy his when he saw mine. Issues I had so far was some rocks getting in the chassis by the servo arm and not letting the car steering one way. It was a quick fix, just had to shake the rock out. But on my 4th day out on 4s I snapped the right rear axle/driveshaft. The left rear looks like its getting close to snapping too. You should check yours, the front ones looked perfect on mine but the rear seems to have more stress on it. And it didnt help that i had it on 100% and punched it often at slower speeds. I thought I was doing pretty good on slowly applying full power but I guess 4s still carries alot of stress. My dad only runs his on 75% (4s) and they look good brand new still. Ive been out of the rc game for awhile now, last car I had was a brushed slash like 10 years ago. But thanks to you and your videos I got the mjx 16208 and outcast! Keep up the good work! Loving the hobby again!!
Dang! Well I’m sure there will be upgraded axles soon if there’s not already. Glad I helped you choose some awesome cars man! I’m wondering if they updated the old body colors too because when I clicked on the other colors it showed it had a center diff and the price was the same (previously the older v2 models were $20 more). Hopefully they are all the same now or will be soon!
Dragons are awesome😂. Re biased steering, the saver doesn’t rest at 90°. Neutral position is a couple degrees off to one side. Without being able to set separate L/R end points on stock transmitter, your epa affects one side more than the other causing steering bias. Only fix ive found is upgrade to better tx/rx with separate left/right epa. Please post what you find out re servo savers. The hot racing saver is just aluminum with same spring tension. Haven’t found a stiffer one.
I got the 8s outcast I love it, maybe the servo saver screw is loose, that was my problem. I love how how the Outcast just flys like a bird, nice killer double backflips have a great new year also dragons are awesome
I'm happy about the center diff and all but i was more excited about the red body. I ordered the red body extra to put on my 8s EXB and now can have a matching little brother. I expect a 6s EXB Outcast to be announced any day. Arrma has been killing it the last few months. They've taken more of my money since July than I'd spent on RC in the last 5 years. Aside from a trx6 and SCX6 everything I've bought this year has been Arrma.
@@sryofcrwsntme9517 it's been gone over 2 years. They never built a V5 Outcast 6s. In reality the 6s Notorious is just a slightly different body Outcast with a different name.
@boduke9428 Nope, they had just released a new Outcast 6s exb with aluminum bulk heads and much much more this year. Rich Duperbash did a video on it a few months ago saying how great it is, he couldn't believe it either, the new one was awesome, he says probably because a new upgraded model will be released soon, but I'm not so sure about that.
@@sryofcrwsntme9517 I promise they didn't. I know for sure because I don't have it. I've got the 4s, and 2 8s exb's. I've got a V4 Outcast body that I bought with plans to put on a Notorious chassis because the 6s exb roller was the last one they made and it's been out of production at least 2 years. Check that video again. I will bet my next years salary they've not made a 6s Outcast this year. They did release the v 2.5 plastic chassis 4s model at the end of last year that's in this video.
The body of the Senton helps it soar through the air. That was clearly happening, as we all could see it. But that Outcast, man, I sure want one. Looks like such a fun truck.
Yup the Senton body is like a parachute. I jumped it like 3 times when I first got it last year, but first time doing it like we usually do lol Yes this outcast is awesome!
Well I've been watching your reviews for over 2 weeks I'm a newbie but since I know my way around trucks and cars it's easy well driving them is much harder lol. Thanks for your great work on the reviews I'm glad I chose the hosim as my first because this one and the Ralaarlo are the next two get for my kids. They all need help in different areas so I can teach them different things, but I really am glad because the mudd flapps alone are an amazing upgrade, I would not be a happy camper if I missed it. "DRAGONS ARE AWESOME!"
CNHL has some of the best batteries for arrma. And they r not expensive at all. But the quality is up there with much more experience battery manufacturers.
I have been waiting for this for over 2 yrs ... now that it's out the economy is crap not getting any overtime at work .. going to take half a paycheck to buy this truck....that's what makes it so hard
Dang man.. I hear ya. I’ve been having to hold back on purchases this year a lot 😕 I don’t think this line is going away anytime soon, so maybe you can put a little away here and there and pick one up when you can.
Another great review. It appears to be one tough truck. Ithink you gave it a very through test. You let your son, which is the best test for any r/c car.
Heaviest RC you’ve bought in years! 😂 new adjustable gear mesh is NICE and it does well on 3s for sure… Suspension looks great! I had the real v1 4s Outcast and the suspension was ridiculous. Sold it as soon as I got the Kaiju.
@@BobbyS-dg3zl i love the big rock and the senton, both are extremely tough and both are a lot of fun... the vorteks belongs to my girlfriend, i'm not allowed to torture him... 😂😂😂😂
I just got a while back the bigger brother to that one the 1/5 scale 8S EXB outcast and i love it, I would say i have more fun with it than I do my X-Maxx 1/5 scale and that's saying something. I have a 1/10 scale outcast 4S and also the Traxxas Maxx widemaxx and i don't know something about the way the outcast does those wheelies just feels right and there just not easy to do with the X maxx or Maxx because the wheelie bars are JUNK. I know you can upgrade them, but I didn't have to with either of my outcasts.
Dragons are awesome and I love watching your videos, you really test the durability of the cars and that’s what I look for in a new rc. Thanks and keep up the great work
Great video! Love that rig(: looks like jr is getting pretty darn good at driving and jumping! Fun to watch y'all have fun (: oh and btw...dragons are awesome!
Holy Crap! This thing is quite a rig! The center did is a big win over the 2.0! It jumps so well, even when it lands bad! LoL! Good speed for this 3s and 4s! The Senton really impressed ms as well! What a beast that is too! Think Mad Max totally handled that thing like a pro basher if there is any such thing! 😆 Great video Evan as always brother! Hope you had a great 🎄Christmas and a blessed New year dude! 🎉⭐️🤩🙌🎊🍻
Dragons ARE awesome and anyone that says otherwise is a liar. 😁Great review and bash on the new Outcast. Love watching you launch these RCs. I don't think I've ever seen a Senton soar that far before. Great job Max!
I definitely hear ya the slipper gives full power constantly to the rear wheels so it will have a much more aggressive feel, but I’m going to tune the center diff to be the best of both worlds. Thicker fluid for more rear wheel power but still keep the benefits of the center diff. It will probably do standing backers afterwards.
Well of course dragons are awesome! I'm on the hunt for something to have some fun with,watched almost all your videos and I'm trying to get down to about 5 to choose from,little make a change from the trucks I'm doing at the mo! Hoping you have a great year ahead! And your boy is more pilot than driver!! Del in the soggy UK!😅
Ya the clutch/slipper will definitely give a more agressive feel as the center diff steals power from the wheels with the most traction and transfers it to the other axle. I’m going to add the thicker fluid in there which will give it the best of both worlds.
Very 12:29 good video. Would love it if you showed us how to adjust the mesh through the rubber plug. Yes I have one and haven figured that out yet. Thank you.
I'm so upset I ended up with slipper clutch and not center diff in my kraton. Just another upgrade I have to do now. Especially since my slipper is toast!
Great vid! Had some great shots, huge sends and as always your commentary is always on point! Mine didn't fare so well, I broke my chassis the first pack, first rip. Guess I landed on the back and the hinge in pulled out of the D block and split the part the hinge pin goes through. I didn't know but I guess you can put longer pins in to help stop them from doing that. I'll do it to this one and hopefully get some more time out of it before I need the impossibly sold out replacement unit.
Thanks!! This happened on the brand new model? That stinks! I’ll have to look and see about the longe things pins. I guess stronger A/D blocks would help also. Definitely plan on doing some upgrades to this beast!
@@DerbyCityRC Yea the 2.5 Outcast. Stronger blocks wouldn't help in this case the pin just slips by. But yes, better blocks are usually a good thing to do or at least have spares haha
Ya it was a tough choice for me too but I have a 6s Kraton so went with the outcast first. The Kraton is likely to flip less in the air and should have a bit better stability on the ground but this one wasn’t bad at all! 😃
Your really out there dude but in a good way😮! Enjoyed the video. I have a big rock 3s but have not done any upgrades, still paying for it on the installment plan. Any absolute upgrades you could recommend for me I would appreciate it? I probably will get a 4s or 6s in the future. It's great you stay positive and light hearted with your son. Dragons are awesome! Peace!
I have two 8s, but I'm deathly afraid of tearing the tires up. Had one come unglued on my 12s one within first 2 minutes of just wheeling at 30 mph and while I like driving the one for 2 minutes, I don't love it so much to pay $80+ for tires more than once every 4-6 months. I'm wondering if I should "upgrade" to two of these.
Actually that was yours truly 🤣 The company that makes those body hole protectors is Dragon Grips, and since dragons are in fact awesome, it came naturally! 🤣 thanks and happy new year to you too!
Epic video, amazing car, but its Max sending the Senton that stole the show lol. All those upgrades look really nice, the guards especially, my 2.0 outcast and kraton both get absolutely drowned in gravel and mud, to the point of wearing out the drive shaft and Axels. The centre diff looks like they drift even better and the landings are probably a bit easier on the running gear too. Hail to the King, baby.
Thanks!! You’re right about all that technical stuff for sure! The mud guards are a gray addition and the center diff even better! Max jumping the Senton was insane 🤣🤣
killer video brother i found all my diffs an shocks were extremely low on fluid i swapped battery straps to an ive done a few other upgrades that will be the next video tho lol
I have the kraton 2.5 4s how to I clean it could you do a video on the proper way to break it down and properly clean it or suggest one I really like my rc and would like to know how to properly maintenance it so it last
Best review of this product i have watched, thanks for not being a brand loyalist and just ripping all types of RC's, so tired of influencers. Now i have to decide between this, Kraton 4S or 6S.
Yup no specific brand loyalty here. I’ve probably got 10 different brands lol Glad you liked the video. I have a 6s Kraton too but been a while since I’ve made any videos on it. It’s more expensive to maintain especially if you install upgrades. I think this 4s line is a perfect solution until you want to go bigger than 1/8 scale, since this basically is a 1/8.
Great video! I'm trying to decide between the Granite 3s, Rival MT10 or The outcast 4s 2.5. What is more fun to bash in smaller spaces, are they all pretty equal? What car will take the biggest beating without breaking? Also is the outcast on 3s @50% too much for a younger kid to handle? Thanks!
For small spaces, the MT10 is probably best. Overall my favorite the outcast. 3s @50% is probably between 15-25 mph, which is fast enough to do some damage to certain things on impact so depends on the age of the child I would say. Sorry for the late reply!
I love this car. So durable. Kids love to play with it. Any trouble with the battery straps? I've been snapping straps and having trouble keeping the battery in place. Also steering is awful on 2 of the 3. Got the M2C chassis brace for all 3.
I do too! I feel like I broke a battery strap on it didn’t I? I ended up just putting a standard strap in and ya the steering is pretty bad. Still haven’t looked but hoping I can adjust the servo saver somehow.
Yes you did right after I had posted comment. I had seen your video before and went back to ask. I've thought about trying to improve the steering but I've seen other attempts in RUclips videos get only marginal improvement. Maybe if something breaks. Let me know if you find a better solution. Cheers. 👊
My Outcast V2 with a Kimbrough 124 servo saver and a very high performance servo is... better than it was. Not great, but better. Those front wheels just aren't on the ground very often.
They’re both good in their own way. I like the drive better of the 14, and has the center diff, but I think the hbx is more durable. The 14 has awesome tires and lands jumps better too.
Hard to say yet, but I had to do some pretty extensive upgrades to my 6s Kraton pretty early on (mostly because of front flip practice 🤣). I broke quite a bit but this one also has better response in the air making it easier to land, not to mention I’ve had alot of practice since then. We got the Kraton over 2 years ago. So far I’d say pretty equal, and the 4s parts are cheaper. Similar in size too.
Idk why everyone is so excited about the center diff personally i can't stand it when the front wheels spin faster than the rear I'd be locking that up before I even drove it
I love the center diff. And the cool thing is you can lock it up or stiffen it up a lot if that’s what you prefer. Even if you make it almost locked with silicone, it still helps with driveline durability. Definitely a lot punchier without it but more controllable with it. All about your preferences.
Yes, this here is the correct one: bit.ly/derbycityrc The “2.5” is an unofficial name and still just called the v2. The blue and the gold color are the older versions but they’re discontinued, so you just have to choose the dark grey or red.
@DerbyCityRC I super glued the 2 sections of the servo saver on mine together, made a big difference for a few days, but i think after some jumps the glues given out, i might try a flexible sealant next and see how that goes.
Good idea, it’s just no longer a servo “saver” anymore lol. But really if the glue gives out like you said it would still offer some level of protection. Hopefully the sealant works!
Seems like a stiffer spring would help. Wish there was something adjustable available so you could dial it in to your liking. Or maybe a stronger servo is needed?
Very cool to see you bashing a bigger truck. Very cool that the kids are out there having fun with you. Max sending the senton over the moon outta nowhere over the Outcast was great to see. And of course, dragons are freakin' awesome.
Thanks man!
Ya that Senton surprised us all 🤣
As far as pure looks go, this is visually the most impressive Arrma off-road vehicle.
It just looks amazing. The body shell is a work of art.
I’m with you!! Completely agree!
My favorite moment of this video is when you ask your son “What is it?” And he responds “a beast”. Great to see you sharing your hobby with your kids.
Also, the Kraton 4s v2.5 is great too. Faster than outcast because it doesn’t backflip at full throttle. Kraton with dBoots backflip LPs (Outcast tires) for off road is AWESOME.

Thanks dude!! Ya that Senton was a rocket! (6 months late 😂)
I installed the slipper clutch on mine . I like the standing backflips
I definitely hear ya the slipper gives full power constantly to the rear wheels so it will have a much more aggressive feel, but I’m going to tune the center diff to be the best of both worlds. Thicker fluid for more rear wheel power but still keep the benefits of the center diff. It will probably do standing backers afterwards.
We could all use a chunk out of the body after the holidays 🤷♂️
DRAGONS ARE AWESOME
Epic Outcast evaluation 👏
This is perfect because I just ordered the new Outcast 4s 😍😍 "DRAGONS ARE AWESOME!"

outcast 4s is my favorite rig but I have a clutch and it seems more powerful than this. Maybe its the batteries.
Ya the clutch/slipper will definitely give a more agressive feel as the center diff steals power from the wheels with the most traction and transfers it to the other axle. I’m going to add the thicker fluid in there which will give it the best of both worlds.

That stinks! I’ll have to look and see about the longe things pins. I guess stronger A/D blocks would help also. Definitely plan on doing some upgrades to this beast!
@@DerbyCityRC Yea the 2.5 Outcast. Stronger blocks wouldn't help in this case the pin just slips by. But yes, better blocks are usually a good thing to do or at least have spares haha
that tandem jump at 5:43 !
I mean dragons ARE awesome, but if you're gonna make us say it.. DRAGONS ARE AWESOME!
I know man that Senton jump Max did was fire!!
Yes they are!
I keep hearing very good things about this truck.
Still not sure whether i would go for the this or the kraton thou . it's academic at the moment! 😁
Ya it was a tough choice for me too but I have a 6s Kraton so went with the outcast first. The Kraton is likely to flip less in the air and should have a bit better stability on the ground but this one wasn’t bad at all! 😃
Hey man are your front “shock mudflaps” on backward in this vid? Mine are facing forward, the same way the rear are. Are mine on wrong lol
No they’re correct. You want all 4 of them facing forward to stop debris from smacking the shock rods. They’re forward in my video too 😃
Nm. It was the view from the rear😂 thx for answering brochahco!
@thecarter7025 I rewatched it and figured that’s the scene you saw. I had to double check myself 🤣

Dragons are awesome! Hahaha which one of your boys came up with that? Great video and love seeing you have a blast with your boys! Happy new year bud
Actually that was yours truly 🤣
The company that makes those body hole protectors is Dragon Grips, and since dragons are in fact awesome, it came naturally! 🤣 thanks and happy new year to you too!
Dragon’s are awesome!!! Your video’s are very informal brotha. I see a lot of changes to the V2.5.
Yes they are! Thanks!!
Epic video, amazing car, but its Max sending the Senton that stole the show lol.
All those upgrades look really nice, the guards especially, my 2.0 outcast and kraton both get absolutely drowned in gravel and mud, to the point of wearing out the drive shaft and Axels. The centre diff looks like they drift even better and the landings are probably a bit easier on the running gear too. Hail to the King, baby.
Thanks!! You’re right about all that technical stuff for sure! The mud guards are a gray addition and the center diff even better! Max jumping the Senton was insane 🤣🤣
@@DerbyCityRC He's got a bright future that lad, they both do! 👍👏
Could I run NIMH Battery on this? Any suggestions on a battery if so? I’m new to RC🤙
killer video brother i found all my diffs an shocks were extremely low on fluid i swapped battery straps to an ive done a few other upgrades that will be the next video tho lol
Thank man! Yup I definitely will be checking fluids and thickening up the center diff!
@@DerbyCityRC i went 100k f/r am 1 million in my center i posted pictures on facebook very empty
Ya I saw your post. I’m gonna service before I run it again. Can’t believe they still don’t do it properly at factory lol
@@DerbyCityRC wait til you see my new post the new EXB KRATON wanted to swap out to a aluminum diff cup ( didn't work out) but again dang near dry
@RC4us man that stinks! lol
I have the kraton 2.5 4s how to I clean it could you do a video on the proper way to break it down and properly clean it or suggest one I really like my rc and would like to know how to properly maintenance it so it last
I’m not an expert on this yet lol.
The channel East Tactics has a good video on cleaning his Arrma. It’s a 6s I think but that should be helpful.
Dragons are awesome and so is this channel!
Thanks!!
Sseing it in the community post is funny😂😂
Like it having some food for some protein to make them plastics stronger💪😀
That's ya boy! Lol what rc did he leap frog you w/ so easily???
How do you po u remove tire wobble and steering slopes in have the 4s kraton v2.5
Best review of this product i have watched, thanks for not being a brand loyalist and just ripping all types of RC's, so tired of influencers. Now i have to decide between this, Kraton 4S or 6S.
Yup no specific brand loyalty here. I’ve probably got 10 different brands lol
Glad you liked the video. I have a 6s Kraton too but been a while since I’ve made any videos on it. It’s more expensive to maintain especially if you install upgrades. I think this 4s line is a perfect solution until you want to go bigger than 1/8 scale, since this basically is a 1/8.
Great video! I'm trying to decide between the Granite 3s, Rival MT10 or The outcast 4s 2.5. What is more fun to bash in smaller spaces, are they all pretty equal? What car will take the biggest beating without breaking? Also is the outcast on 3s @50% too much for a younger kid to handle? Thanks!
For small spaces, the MT10 is probably best. Overall my favorite the outcast.
3s @50% is probably between 15-25 mph, which is fast enough to do some damage to certain things on impact so depends on the age of the child I would say. Sorry for the late reply!
More armma stuff please!!! Thinking of getting a gorgon. Dragons are Awesome???
More Arrma stuff coming!
Wait wait wait!!
Are you questioning if dragons are awesome?
@@DerbyCityRC
Im Ron Burgundy????
Perfect answer. I love lamp!
Dragons are awesome. Great review and awesome bash session buddy 👍
Thanks!!
@@DerbyCityRC Welcome
I love this car. So durable. Kids love to play with it. Any trouble with the battery straps? I've been snapping straps and having trouble keeping the battery in place. Also steering is awful on 2 of the 3. Got the M2C chassis brace for all 3.
I do too!
I feel like I broke a battery strap on it didn’t I?
I ended up just putting a standard strap in and ya the steering is pretty bad. Still haven’t looked but hoping I can adjust the servo saver somehow.
Yes you did right after I had posted comment. I had seen your video before and went back to ask. I've thought about trying to improve the steering but I've seen other attempts in RUclips videos get only marginal improvement. Maybe if something breaks. Let me know if you find a better solution. Cheers. 👊
@bluebeastRC I thought I did lol. If I find a solution it will be in a video so hopefully soon 😄
Wats better to buy a kraton 6s or a outcast 6s let me knoee
Dragons are awesome. Loving the Outcast
Yes they are!!! And me too!!
“DRAGONS ARE AWESOME!”
as if people didn’t know already hehe
Bro moved to bigger trucks 😎❤️ Love your videos
🤣🤣 I’m back and forth.
Thanks 😃
dragons are awesome but your channel is awesomer lol . Happy new year bro
My Outcast V2 with a Kimbrough 124 servo saver and a very high performance servo is... better than it was. Not great, but better. Those front wheels just aren't on the ground very often.
Thanks for the info!
Very nice. As always you truly entertain us. 👍👍
Thanks 😊!!
Sweet video like always! Love Arrma, always something to upgrade however :). Also Dragons are Awesome
Thanks! Always lol
Dragons are AWESOME!!!
Love the content Evan. Merry Christmas to you and yours. P.s. Dragons are awesome!
Tune that center diff and I broke my chassis lol , new one came in today 😊
You broke chassis on the new new outcast 4s?? 😳😳 they have new ones in stock already? I was gonna order a backup 😂
Merry Christmas hope yours was great👍
DRAGONS ARE AWESOME AND SO WAS THIS VIDEO!
Heck ya they are!!
Thanks man!!
Which model was your son driving at 5:44?
Arrma Senton!
Dragon's ate awesome 😂 love your stuff man
Thanks man!! 😃🤣
Dragons ARE awesome! Another great video. Fun.
Fully agree!! Thanks man!!
Question for you reflex 14MT or hbx 16890sa which one do you think is better ?
They’re both good in their own way. I like the drive better of the 14, and has the center diff, but I think the hbx is more durable.
The 14 has awesome tires and lands jumps better too.
Thank you
Dope review. Dragons are awesome!
Thanks man!
oh even more the 2024 version is Arrma Outcast 4x4 4S V2 RTR - Gunmetal (versie 2024)
€519,00 pfff
Six year old MAD MAX is a driver!
How do you feel about this vs a 6s car for fun and durability?
Hard to say yet, but I had to do some pretty extensive upgrades to my 6s Kraton pretty early on (mostly because of front flip practice 🤣). I broke quite a bit but this one also has better response in the air making it easier to land, not to mention I’ve had alot of practice since then. We got the Kraton over 2 years ago. So far I’d say pretty equal, and the 4s parts are cheaper. Similar in size too.
Dragons really are awesome 😂
Dude! SO awesome!! 🔥🐉
Do you have a Traxxas wideMaxx ?
Idk why everyone is so excited about the center diff personally i can't stand it when the front wheels spin faster than the rear I'd be locking that up before I even drove it
I love the center diff. And the cool thing is you can lock it up or stiffen it up a lot if that’s what you prefer. Even if you make it almost locked with silicone, it still helps with driveline durability. Definitely a lot punchier without it but more controllable with it. All about your preferences.
That was a great video that echo truck kicks butt
Thanks!
Dragons are awesome! Love your videos
Yes they are!
Thanks man!!
@@DerbyCityRC I added you on TikTok as well maybe I can pick your brain on there in messages? Haha
Dragons are awesome
That’s for sure 👊😎
R/C's and dragons are awesome 👌🏿
Dragons are awesome.......keep up with the videos
Thanks!!
Is the 2.5 out yet? All I can find for sale is the v2
Yes, this here is the correct one: bit.ly/derbycityrc
The “2.5” is an unofficial name and still just called the v2. The blue and the gold color are the older versions but they’re discontinued, so you just have to choose the dark grey or red.
Your videos are outstanding! Thank you….
Thanks man!!
What aftermarket servo saver did you end up going with on this unit? Did it resolve your issues in turns at greater speeds?
Supposedly the few available aftermarket options aren’t much better. I’m going to take it off and try to resolve it somehow, but I haven’t yet.
@DerbyCityRC I super glued the 2 sections of the servo saver on mine together, made a big difference for a few days, but i think after some jumps the glues given out, i might try a flexible sealant next and see how that goes.
Good idea, it’s just no longer a servo “saver” anymore lol. But really if the glue gives out like you said it would still offer some level of protection. Hopefully the sealant works!
Seems like a stiffer spring would help. Wish there was something adjustable available so you could dial it in to your liking. Or maybe a stronger servo is needed?
@theCHAD_official yup I’m gonna work on this I just haven’t yet. Hopefully I can find a stiffer spring or even just be able to add shims.
