I dont have a problem with a slipper clutch but i do have a problem with a slipper clutch thats not built very well, the fact that the slipper bolt went in to plastic in my opinion is not good, have all of the center diff parts on order for my 3s big rock to give me that peace of mind to make it just that bit more reliable
I feel all theses upgrades are awesome. The new center diff is a huge improvement in performance, i personally hate the slipper clutch system but never had any real problems with them . Them doing away with the sway bars , i dont believe they were needed on these rigs , if you were to remove your sway bars on the previous model i don't think you would notice the difference, but you will with the tuneability of the new center diff. And at a cheaper cost, you just can't go wrong with all these upgrades. Way to go arrma for listening to there customer's and giving back to them. Traxxas better step it up.
@@rcguygarage I feel that was more of a money grab along with lots of others, and for that price I will pass. I have the xmaxx and the xrt . Most of those upgrades they put on those rigs are definitely not needed. In my opinion it was a huge fail
@@rcguygarage I totally agree, it is definitely the ultimate xmaxx, xrt for sure. Just wished they would of addressed some of the problems that they have had with these rigs, that we will still be fixing. The xmaxx is still my favorite basher and racer on my track it's hard to beat. I really enjoy the hobby, and love to build and add to these rc's just as everyone else in the hobby. But I still can't justify the price, I can almost buy 3 brand new sliders for the cost of 1 ultimate, hit up Jenny's RC for most of my parts and not spend a fraction of that cost.
I love my 2.0. I have it modded a lot and it rips. I like the center diff but because my bash will not fit the new chassis I will not upgrade. I will how ever grab a kraton at some point to test the center diff.
If you need need Gopro batteries get the white capped ones they have more power but perform way better in the cold which will really benefit you up there cool comparison when you can have them side by side like that.
I have the V2. I replaced the slippers clutch for lock slippers. The pivot balls were changed, and I changed the steering bell crank. The next thing I changed, esc and motor. I put a Hobbywing 10bl120 g2 sensor less 3675 2200kv Turnigy 6s capable they run really fast. Now I check how far I can go without heating the motor and esc
@@rcguygarage I wanted to say that I put the new central diff on the version 2 that you also have and I use a 138 mm long battery with a capacity of 9200 mAh and it fit perfectly, I had no problems with the length of the battery, I also put the new ones higher chassis protections and they fit without problems So far the springs are ok, I ordered some a little more rigid, servo saver is ok so far..
Recently found my late father's N and HO Scale vintage model train's in process of cleaning and getting 1 set assembled. Most are still BNIB and factory sealed from 80's-90's so won't open those as know have value. Anyone here in Massachusetts know much about train's? Probably trade some for quality RC's but 𝙉𝙊𝙏 getting rid of them all as sentimental. Anyways have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone
I may have figured out the servo issue on Arrma Outcast 4s V2. So I turned those black guards on the front shocks to face away from the drive shaft and now it’s turning almost on a dime. I’ve had mine for about 5 months and the turning radius was always bad. I saw the wear on the drive shaft where those guard were so I just lifted the spring and now have them facing away from the drive shaft and now it’s awesome. I mean that has to be it because I haven’t changed it from stock at all. Let me know if it works for you and if it does just give me a shout out on a video. Good luck, I hope it works for you. 🤙🏻
The v2.5 is for the novice who can't adjust a slipper clutch newbies. The v2 with old slipper with option to lock it and loosen it, love the option to switch chassis between Kraton and Outcast.
Has been a great truck. My only issue has been the crown gear metal they used. I switched out my diffs to the original cnc cut crown gears. I had to switch the cases too because the cnc gear wouldn't fit on the V2 diff case.
@@rcguygarage I'm not sure exactly, but a couple dozen the first time I broke a few teeth off, the second crown gear seemed to break a few teeth off quicker. I did change the input gear out as well as a precaution. But since I switched to the original I've had no issues.👍🤙💯 It's one of my favorite trucks to drive. I do have the 8s but it's a production getting that thing out! Lol
The new ESC has caused a bunch of issues for people on the forums and youtube. It is detecting LVC even on fully charged batteries. They have offered to replace the ESC but it is back ordered. Until that comes they now released a new firmware for it that I am going to try out today.
But I have seen numerous issues on forums with the slipper clutch on 3s models and everyone was raving for a center Diff... So you say center Diff is not needed? I'm debating between 3s or 4s v2.5..
Hey man. Have something very interesting. I was wondering if others have experienced. I purchased both the v2(accidentally 😂) and v2.5. I ran both and I noticed that the v2 turned tremendously better. I found the v2.5 had severe oversteer. I’ll make a video tomorrow to compare. I’m also wondering if others are having the same issue. Maybe the center diff is applying weird torque to the front tires causing oversteer? Gets substantially worse as throttle is applied. V2 slightly oversteers as throttle increases.

Happy Holidays. I can't wait to get my outcast finished. It's only version 2 parts, but I'm good with that. Will upgrade over time.
These "first look" videos are great bro, man that outcast appears to have awesome value.
Merry Christmas MR. RC GUY Garage

Excellent video
I put the center diff in the old one v2 and I have no problems with the battery, I have 9200 mah 138 mm
Merry Christmas, man!
V2 what? 9200 what? How are your springs and servo saver?

Boom 🎉 Merry Christmas RC Guy and family, have a good day, I've been out rc flying and some promoto mx run's great day.
NICE 👍💯 to you as well
That old plug loop I always run a strap through it to hold it in place.

@@chadbiermann3380 it's a great truck for sure
Gee, I would've thought the CNC (EXB) diff would be a direct fit, with proper shimming, of course. Interesting.
@@puddlejumpernva It's really close. Just machined a little differently.
wow very good car strong 💪👍
So jealous of your LHS repair parts they have in stock.
Merry Christmas everyone. One question.... Is it possible to fit the center diff assembly in the senton blx 3s ? Or is it possible to convert it
Little chassis grinding yes
Guy Merry Christmas Day in tank you for a cool video this morning 💯👍☃️
👍💯🙏
Make normal baterry straps like on the v1. Why they breaking their minds over this
What is the size of the box and how many kg? I liked Arrma rigs
Lmfao 🤣 that encapsulated I love it. Your the man dude keep it up hope everything goes your way man. Thanks for the videos your awesome
DANG 👍💯😜
The new ESC has caused a bunch of issues for people on the forums and youtube. It is detecting LVC even on fully charged batteries. They have offered to replace the ESC but it is back ordered. Until that comes they now released a new firmware for it that I am going to try out today.
I like all changes except the center diff. It is not needed. Adds weight bulk and more points of maintenance.
👍💯
But I have seen numerous issues on forums with the slipper clutch on 3s models and everyone was raving for a center Diff... So you say center Diff is not needed? I'm debating between 3s or 4s v2.5..
I like wheelie bahs and sway bahs
@@flyfishbrad 😂🤣
Forgot the diff I thought it was but didn’t try the V2.5 with diff. So my opinion is no diff

Could be the sway bars! V2.5 no longer has them. I’d give a better servo and Kimbrough 124 saver a try along with a full center diff with 500k and it
don't forget to update the firmware. /runs
They also changed the motor heatsink…and a better fan and a better servo, I wouldn’t buy that old model with that shiny new one right next to it
Rc Guy I still broke my chassis on the v2.5 outcast lol 😂
ANIMAL‼️ deserved?
Don't drive off the Roof! LMAO 🤣😂
I feel deceived and honestly quite hornswoggled having watched this.
