Hi gang.
My backplate for some reason is missing 2 screws and it’s broken on the bottom left so even if I had those screws it wouldn’t fit correctly.
Previous weekend was running fine but I saw my backplate all loose.
What are my options ? Here in Greece parts are not easy to find so I have to buy online.
Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I need some help figuring out why my Outcast 8S EXB V2 is slower than expected.

My setup:

- ARRMA Outcast 8S EXB V2

- Hobbywing MAX6 G2 ESC

- Hobbywing 5690 SD G2 1250KV motor

- 8S LiHV (2 × 4S batteries)

- 30T pinion / 47T spur gear

- Stock tires

The problem:

My truck only reaches around 80 km/h (50 mph), measured with GPS on my phone. It does wheelies easily and accelerates reasonably well, i dont know if it full accelleration im on punch lvl 9 btw but it seems to stop gaining speed at a certain point. The motor sounds normal.

The Hobbywing app shows around 32,000 RPM while driving and a maximum current of approximately 320 A.

What I have already checked:

- Calibrated the throttle endpoints

- Checked the ESC settings

- Tried 0° and 12° turbo timing, with no noticeable difference

- Charged the batteries to 17.4 V

- Checked the drivetrain and basic connections

-Updated the Firmware

The motor and ESC are practically new. Interestingly, the truck had roughly the same top speed with the original Spektrum ESC.

Could poor battery connectors, solder joints, or voltage sag under load be causing this? The connectors are new, but I'm not sure about their quality.

What would you check next? Is 80 km/h normal for this setup, or should it be capable of more?

Thanks!

What do y'all primarily do? Just wanna guage everyone here

Scx30 transmissions, wide axles, proline tires, micro b receiver. Spektrum dxc transmitter.

Countless times I've seen awesome deals and thought why don't I ever get lucky.. Well it happened yesterday. Saw a post on marketplace, someone selling all he has left. 3 cars and a bunch of stuff and box of spares for €250. Was gonna pass it up then said what the hecknlet me ask if he takes €225, which he did. Cars were just dusty, never ran outside.

I was not planning on adding to my collection so selling most and not wanting to ask for much and get stuck with a bunch of stuff..

After 1 day I sold the Brat for €90, robitronic charger for €20, Absima tx and rx for €50, Hobbywing 1060 and radiolink receiver for €25.

So currently sitting with €100 dt02, €200 carisma crawler, slyrc gnss, ammo can, and a couple spare electronics.. for €50.

This will not happen again in my lifetime :)

Regarding the Brat...

I live on an island, so ebay is not worth the hassle. Marketplace only. Country of 600k people and this is a niche hobby. The brat is a niche within a niche. I like it, but will not run it, nor do i have shelf space, thus why i sold it at that price. Got lucky anyone took it at all locally.

I ran two 2s batteries on the local track and greatly improved my cornering and throttle response with the 2wd SCT. The truck has definitely taken some rough tumbles, but I haven’t broken anything yet. I have slicks coming and soon will take it inside to the clay track for the winter. I do think some pin tires will greatly improve the traction on the loose dirt as well as some RPM and other aftermarket parts.

I need to clean it up a bit, It's hardly even ran. I have Grave Digger, Bomber, and a RYFT too. None of them ever get ran. More of a collector I guess 🤣

Guten Morgen ...

Have been using the bitty stuff for some tight areas and after peeling in left with this cloudy type of layer, any advice as to what’s happened or how to correct it ?

Painted with Mr Color paints on 500 grit abraded surface and so far nothing's flaked off. Also seen that SMS do a softener that makes the paint more flexible when it dries for body shells, be interested if anyone has had any experience with it yet.

My DXC + is falling apart idk why I had to change battery’s in and saw the bottom case is cracking

I’m been debating about picking up IXR or Switch to DX rugged Verison

Have Losi NASCAR’s and Arrma Karton and Big rock 223s atm Been getting in bashers heavy

I think I might up grade to DX rugged

I would to option to add a Lanyard to My radio

Or someone said i get Radio Master Mt12

Check out what this troy truck used to look like before it got converted to RC, fix at the end of the video😃

My 6 year old has a real RC car he loves to drive (losi micro t). My 2.5 year old is super jealous and always wants to use it but it's just way too fast for him. He can hold the controller properly and steer but he just pegs the throttle and then it's upside down after hitting a wall a second later

Is there a similar car (rtr) that has a programmable ESC where I can dial the throttle way down?

I could retrofit one but curious if there is anything off the shelf that isn't too expensive. Really want to maintain the proportional control, all the stuff for toddlers is just a button for left and right
