1/5 Outcast 8S

[Jimbobjr]

Looks really nice. I’m most excited about the wheels and tires. Since many of us already saw what the platform can do thru YouTube and the crusher chassis it’s not “new”. For crusher users you now have a body that doesn’t look ridiculous and a set of tires that do not weigh 20lbs...
Go for it Arrma!

Wonder how long until there is a Notorious body?
I like the added hood scoop touch on the 8s.

Did not realize you could standing backflip a 1/5 truck... 0.o

Dude, I was thinking the exact same thing!

I need to sell something so I can jump on this.

Ha me too. I got a 1/5 gas in the mail here by today or tomorrow lol. Bad timing on my part.

Anyone think this will be far more popular than the Kraton seeing as this looks far more bashing friendly, flips, wheelies etc.. with ease out of the box.

I think it’ll be outsold by the kraton just like the 6s ones were, especially with the exb being available.

Difference being though the Kraton 6S was still a very capable basher of doing flips etc.. the 8S Kraton on the other hand is completely different and far more tame. The 8S Outcast is closer to the Kraton 6S in terms of air manoeuvrability.

I’m just taking a guess based on popularity of the kraton vs the outcast, also I have serious doubts that people will choose to skip or delay getting an exb to pay more for a lower quality build rtr.

I came from a big brand in the heli world. (Lynx/Oxy)
The larger the scale the smaller the customer range. It's the nature of the beast.

Okay guys I combined all 3 threads for this as there really is no reason for there to be 3 threads right on top of each other in the same section.

lol the very first shot is a standing backflip

So the difference in this new 1/5 outcast and the kraton 8s??? Besides body ,front bumper, and wheelie bar, and wheels

It’s 2” shorter

 

[ckcustomz]

It’s 2” shorter

So exactly like the kraton 8s with the short m2c chassis?

Without having the truck in front of me to confirm I couldn’t tell you that for sure... but I assume so... or at least hope so.

The specs say "100C 5000mAh 2 x 4S Lipo (Hard or soft-case) within dimensions 170 x 55 x 53mm or 6.69 x 2.16 x 2.09 inches"

Why can the 8s vehicles take soft packs while the 4s line says hardcase only?

Here’s the side by side.

We all knew this was coming!
It was just a matter of when...
