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.
Here's this truck's current specs.
Spektrum Firma 160A V2 black edition Sensorless Brushless 8s ESC
Spektrum IC5 connectors soldered onto ESC with EC5 connectors on my x2 batteries
Hobbywing Ezrun 5687SL 1,100kv Sensorless Brushless motor
Arrma Safe-D8 24 Tooth Mod 1 Steel Pinion gear meshed to Stock Arrma 47 Tooth Mod 1 Steel Spur gear
PowerHD WH-65KG 65KG Metal Gear servo (Have plans to swap to a Spektrum S9120 servo someday)
Spektrum DX6C 6 Channel DSMR 2.4Ghz digital computer transmitter
Spektrum SR6200A 6 Channel DSMR Receiver with AVC
Stock Arrma Dboots Backflip Tires and Wheels (Plan to swap out to Method RC Terraform Belted Tire and wheels)
Stock diff and shock fluids
Stock Black EXB body (Plan to swap out for a EXB RTR body someday)
Here's some bonus pictures of this truck.
Here was the truck when it came into the family.
Here it was brand new out of the box.
That's all for now, Please let me know what you all think of my truck and this build in the discussion thread and check out the main thread i made for this truck awhile back. Cheers guys.
