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.

Very fast and sturdy - many others would fall to bits with some abuse, not this one.
RC Geeks comms were excellent, their price was the best.
Overall brilliant whole experience.
My boy loves it...after buying so many cheaper and basic cars due to his age and ability to control them...most of which were disappointing in ether quality or battery life...I went for the outlaw in the hope we would get battery life and the power to use it off road...and it hasn't disappointed. We have upgraded the wheel nuts and hubs and have two batteries...so glad I paid the extra for the car and for getting the brushless model. The car is very fast for a 7 Yr old so I have tapped a bump stop behind the trigger which I will remove once he is more confident....Great fun
Good car just arrived with broken front bumper and other small part broken but waiting for replacements
Got this because I wanted something to put a fox tail on for my grayhounds to chace
Total RC novice. Bought for 10 year old birthday. Was worried how " ready to race" it would be.....would it take ages to charge the battery in the morning, would there be some final assembly required, would I have to calibrate/set up the transmitter etc.....brilliant, out of the box just charged the battery for 1.5 hrs (not full charge) that morning, installed it in the car, put batteries in the transmitter and away you go.....10 yr old got the hang of it in about 5 mins......got 45 mins in the park and battery was still going strong. Great great recommendation so far from RC Geeks.
EXCELLENT 4.4+ OUT OF 5
