Outcast Will the hobbystar 4092 fit in the outcast

[Jeffashbaugh452]

I have not had a chance to measure yet. But I was wondering if the Hobbystar or a leopard 4092 will fit into the outcast 6s without any major mods. And if it does could you guys show off some of your pics of it installed. Thanks alot

I checked my Noto. You will have to trim the side guard for sure. But it will fit. Very tight though. It just may touch the C block. (rear/front hinge pin holder). Its a reeaaly tight fit.You may want to rethink that motor. Too tight for my liking. But that's just me.

Iirc it hits the rear a arm

92mm doesn't quite hit the arm. Clears it by at least 10mm. from my measurements. (4092 can) The rear edge of the can may hit the C block. Or maybe clear the C block by 1-2mm. Not enough clearance for my taste.
Measured again. The Right arm is 107mm from the edge of motor mount.
Sorry about the bad photo. It doesn't translate well enough what I see.

Idk I know it's pretty close. But yeah looking at it again I think it might hit the rear suspension mount, so maybe that is what I was thinking of. ?‍ With the Hot Racing suspension mounts, I have about 7mm between the end of my motor can and the suspension mount. I'm running a 4985 motor so I just measured off the end of that. I did have to cut out the rear of the side guard to allow the motor to clear.

Thanks for the answers guys. I was worried about it hitting the rear hinge pin mount also.

A 4985 Can motor seems like a great option for the SWB chassis.

It will fit. ! Just installed on my outcast. 1480 kv hobbystar

I have the Hobbystar 4092 1730kv w/ Max6 on my Notorious. Personally prefer longer can.

Been running the surpass/rocket 4092 1650kv in my 2018 outcast since April of this year and it's been working well. I did change out the bearings to the TRB ceramic hybrids.

I've rearranged the wires a bit since then:

Putting the same combo in my new kraton exb. Will start a build thread on that later.
