CJ's Arrma Outcast 8s EXB Build Project

An original Arrma Outcast 8s EXB roller with V2 RTR ESC and custom motor, radio system and Servo

General RC Information

Hi there everyone, Here's the build showcase for my V1 EXB Outcast 8S Roller i bought this truck in Summer of 2023 during the Christmas in July sale for $400 brand new straight from Horizon Hobby even during their site maintenance. I got it all up and running in Winter 2023 with a stock V2 EXB ESC the V2 Firma 160 and an 1,100kv hobbywing 5687 motor but it's similar to the V2 RTR's motor along with a PowerHD 65kg Servo and my Radiolink radio system. And it's been a beast to the point where i considered selling my old unreliable X-Maxx and sticking to this truck. Just recently i put in a brand new straight out of a new EXB RTR Spektrum Firma 160a v2 ESC and a new SR6200A avc receiver to bind up to my DX6C. This truck now runs amazing and will rip a wheelie straight down my road from a standstill.

Here's a current picture of her on my deck.
