Hey..what's up Trout !!! Congrats on the Outcast !!!. Very cool. You are not that good at cleaning RC's I guess. LOL But I have to say...mine runs nice thanks to you. Thanks again...bud, you are good people.
Before I work on my Kraton...I spray it with
Simple Green, hit it with air. Also....my running area is sand. I can off road my Jeep, RC's or dirt bikes over in my area and the mud looks like nothing. All sand, no top soil. It sticks to nothing. I also run my Slash way harder and more often than the Kraton... It holds up well(lots of mods). It's not very muddy looking but it sure gets scratched up and screwed up from sand and bash sessions. I rebuilt it recently and retired it for the winter. I also have not been back flipping with the Kraton much....I'm not into that with it. Long., far smooth jumps...yes. I can handle that all day long without busting too much on it. My Slash gets the bad beatings. That's why I never got the Outcast right away....I use a Traxxas Slash with large tires for that type of driving. I keep going back to it as my go to RC for beating the piss out of. I've been running the Kraton fast and smooth it does not see the destruction of my other RC's.
The wing on mine is new also....that helped it. But it truly does not get the beating I deliver on other RC's. It did get some this weekend...bent the rear shock tower back but I landed upside down in the road...rather in the soil . Mostly...my soil here doesn't get my stuff stained like good soil does. The sand just gets into everything and destroys bearings.
Once I get another RC...newer than the Kraton....It will look more like yours. That's why the Slash is so beat up. LOL It's just what I do... that's the cycle. I think I'm going for a 1/5th scale....I shouldn't do it but I have the feeling I will after X-mas. The tires on the Outcast look perfect. I need to try them.
Awesome mod Fart.....I love it.
