Outcast Outcast LWB conversion

[Dutch213]

Just got the Outcast setup with a LWB chassis together.

Kraton ?

 

[bicketybam]

You now have a Kraton!

 

[Dutch213]

Haha... yeah. I wish I got one first... the outcast body is tough as poop though...

For some reason my servo mount wouldn’t fit in the correct way... I had to turn it to clear front shaft.

I think you're using a Talion V3 chassis. It has a slightly different layout for a different weight distribution aaaand its way better for the servo to be in this position given how flexible the stock servo mount is.

 

[Dutch213]

Haha... Yeah I figured that... I do like the servo setup... less flexibility.... the chassis braces have the little notch like my Talion as well.

i Guess the v2 Talion and Kraton chassis is the same but v3 diff?

I think so. The Talion V3 is very different (towers, shocks, chassis, wing mount etc)while the V2 was just a less wide Kraton.

I’m gonna order Talion braces and driveshafts today. Hopefully they fit. Lol.

LWB is done and well worth it..

Ive been wanting ti do this since ive got it can you give me jusy a short basic rundown of what all u had to do much appreciated

 

[Dutch213]

yeah no problem...what chassis do you want to use? Talion or Kraton? Talion has the better servo location and even driveshaft setup...It is personal preference though....

 

[Amross125]

Would there be amy difference in parts needed? Honestly idc which one, i do know that the chassis brace up front does pretty much touch the driveshaft so if one or the other is a way to fix that id go that direction. And if either make steering any netter ?

 

[Dutch213]

I used this setup
-Talion v3 chassis (servo goes opposite direction of kraton/outcast)
-Talion v3 chassis supports front and back
-set back body mounts that came in spare parts bag from arrma for front mounts
-redrilled the rear body mounts about 1.5" back....
-The only other thing I had to do is cut the back of body to fit past the rear springs

Love this swap you did! What tires are those and do you like them better then the backflips?

 

[cootertwo]

Cool! I'm liking the new Arrma real steel paint job. Looks more realistic, and no need to try to shiny up the wheels etc. etc.
