Yeeeha, the Outlaw Brushless has just left its rooster tail as the throttle is nailed. Well you might not have a Californian desert on your doorstep, but you can pretend! Loosely based on the powerful Ultra 4 buggies that take up the challenge of racing through the US’ west coast deserts, the Outlaw is the perfect mix of RTR entry level fun with a bit of scale realism thrown in to boot.
Under the semi-scale tubular roll cage, body panels and cockpit are some new and established features. Blue anodised oil filled aluminium shock absorbers handle the corners. The front suspension assembly is the same as FTX stablemates the Carnage and Bugsta trucks with fully adjustable settings, universal driveshafts, turnbuckles and a heavy-duty metal geared differential. Moving back, the moulded chassis supports the centrally positioned sealed shaft drivetrain, steering servo, motor and receiver box.
Semi-scale trailing arm rear suspension sets the Outlaw apart from other off road buggies in the FTX range. This long travel suspension, with huge articulation is what full size U4 buggies use to tackle the uneven desert surface. With drive to the rear axle assembly via a telescopic sliding driveshaft, along with multi-position shock absorber mounting points, the Outlaw can handle some of the roughest terrain with its all terrain super-soft tyres.
FTX has chosen Etronix for the brushless system with their waterproof 60Amp Photon 2.1W speed control and 2950kv 4-pole motor. Coupled with the Voltz 3250mAH LiPo battery and you will have all the power you need to unleash the Outlaw.

Please Note: This kit in sold in RTR (Ready-to-run) format and requires 8 x AA batteries for completion.
Very good for the money. You will forever be breaking bits but the plastic parts are dirt cheap which makes this car an excellent first car as you will learn a lot about how they are put together. It's a little top heavy and tends to roll but that can be ironed out with a couple of tweaks. Good fun.

by guestAs my first R/C car this is simply superb. Forgive me not having anything to compare it to, but my very experienced mates give it the thumbs up too. There's enough scope for tinkering, enough performance to get the buggy into serious situations, and enough fun to entertain. I've tumbled it and rammed it and it takes it all. Now, one piece at a time, I'm adding the metal upgrade parts. It really is a great place to start if you want to get serious with the hobby.
