Outcast What’s the best wing mount and bumper for Outcast/Notorious?

[Notorious J]

have you weighed it by any chance?

That's a lot of extra effort and I'm old. Kidding (not about being old), I just bash for fun and don't take things like weight too seriously. When I take it off to change the front dif, I'll throw it on the scale.

Cross posted - sorry. Pics of skid plate and piece that holds front hinge pins. No attachment to gear box as in older designs.

i just kept putting aluminum parts on my notorious and started to realize how much harder it pile drives the ground and now weight is starting to concern me... the bumper isnt gonna make much of a diff though... mainly single packs vs dual and big ass wheels...all the rest is not optional to change..

You drive yours? I just keep replacing parts on a truck I've driven twice. I have my candyass Slash if I want to break something.

 

[Dutch213]

well, drive is a loose term...i hit the gas and aim at lips....lol

Although I had a different body on mine at the last weigh in, that's a touch lighter than the stock one, I've got aluminum Voltage towers, servo mount, and chassis braces. Also run a tower2tower brace that weighs 109grams by itself and a 704 gram battery in the tray.
ProLine Road rage wheels and tires . RTR @ 12.208lbs

f ing awesome!!! about time... we just need someone to weigh a stock one...i have a LWB, and same braces and mount...

Im at work right now, if no one replies to this I'll throw my bone stock Outcast up on the Kitchen food scale along with a 6s battery when I go home.

 

[Jimbobjr]

My stock Outcast with a 6s hardcase is 12lb 7oz. V3 Kraton with Back flips, T-Bone v2 front and rear bumpers is a portly 13lb 1oz. Trugified Typhon with t-bone front bumper and t to t brace is a zippy in comparison 10lb 13oz. All these weights include a 1lb 7oz battery.
MrDuke: I think the backflip tires is what makes the stock Outcast a little heavier then yours with the heavier shock towers and t to t.

 

[WTF MIKE]

Mine weighs 14 pounds with the battery

I don't know what my outcast weighs, but it feels like a tank compared to my 1/10th trucks and ERBE. I should weigh all 3 of my MT's to see... don't think I have a scale though that will give me a good reading.

 

[WTF MIKE]

My body has 1.5 tubes of shoe glue a metal strap. I use a 1” square tube for t2t and I made my own front and rear skid plates. It probably weighs 20 pounds with all that mud on it lol

Like the metal strap idea. New project when I get home tonight. You think rivets would be strong enough to hold it on, or is using the small screws a better idea?

I like that metal strap idea. My body is nearly split in half at the base of the "windshield" part and cracked from the bottom half way across the truck bed at the base of the rear "window". I used some thick plastic and rivets/washers to keep it alive a bit longer. Contemplating spending the $80+ on one of those indestructible bodies from Germany... wonder why no one in the states makes any of those.

I've been using rivets to keep mine alive. I use washers on the under side. Seems to hold up on my 2 or 3 bodies on different trucks so far.

I've never seen any of the indestructible bodies from Germany. I've only seen the ones from Russia. Do you have links to these? I know that Proline has their Bash Armor bodies, which I have seen are supposed to be made out of the same material, but I haven't tried one yet. I was planning on getting one for my MT410 this spring though.

I hate to be the one to tell you this but when you clean the mud off you will see you have two different kinds of tires on that beast.

I like the nut and bolt better cause you can add washers
