How did i bend this. Wow the outcast kicks butt
stick it in a vice, be good as new. Same happen to me, I also snapped the shock shaft and deep grazed the lower A arm.
 
Also check your hinge pin I bent mine too. Bloomin island in the middle of a wide open carpark 100% throttle 6s.
 
My Kraton hinge pins were just like that after massive air jump park bash awhile back. what springs/oil are you running?
 
Standard atm Rich. Thats my next upgrade. What would you recommend?
Ive seen some stuff on shock springs and oil but getting them in England is something else.

LF = Low Frequency which improves traction by reducing chassis oscillation on rough track surfaces and large jump landings. Overall stability of the vehicle is improved, providing better forward grip, increased corner speed and quicker lap times.

I have these springs fitted in my Senton and they are perfect paired with 70wt front and 50wt rear silicone oil. Shock collars are set round about the middle mark so I have maximum adjustability either way with excellent droop extension and compression. I had previously had both front rear LF orange springs and changed now to green f / blue r.
Not sure on the shock length in the outcast but chassis weight should be similar and I run the largest heaviest 6s brick around.

I will try to do a video tonight or tomorrow to show how excellent I feel these springs are.
 
@Reubydoobe I was just wondering how stiff your setup was, too stiff puts more strain on stuff. I'm still running Tekno orange springs up front with 50-60 weight, yellow rear 40 weight. I'm an avid jumper, and this seems to allow pretty easy chassis slaps on most bigger jumps and good overall handling at most bash spots. I agree with straightening and reusing so long as movement isn't restricted. I use a vise also and hammer sometimes to straighten dogbones, CVDs...Etc.
