8s Arrma Outcast GPM Aluminum Rear Tie Rod & Stabilizer Install

[@Facts-R-Real]

At first glance I’m like this isn’t gonna be a very good video. I was way wrong. This dude not only explains things very well, he talks through and shows u each and every single step. Unlike some other KZbinrs, he actually takes his time to show u not what he’s doing but how to do it and where each connection is made. Honestly one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. Thank u.

[@myrclife]

Well thank you very much. This is why I do what I do. I might not be the best, but I TRY my best to do anything I can to help a fellow hobbiest out.

Awesome video my friend nice 😊 share good stuff on the upgrades great job thumbs up 👍

[@n8ddatjharris673]

Nice upgrade!! Red looks cool!!

[@ShipyardWelder]

Thank you this video was extremely helpful!

[@kaiarneberg9203]

Daaamn that was some camber in the back before you changed the links 😅😅

[@myrclife]

Yea, it took those stock links and jammed them into the plastic rod ends basically stripping them out. I think it was because of the huge dual 6s batteries I run and the Big motor and ESC have added a bit to much weight to the car and things like those rod ends couldn't take the stress. The car shakes the ground when it lands. 😆😁. Lol

Hey bud I think 2 of those 3 center screws go swapped with the long outer ones the ones that had alot of thread hanging out but ya man thats a great upgrade and great job on the vid

[@myrclife]

No sir! The 3 center screws are much to short to go through the putter bearing carrier. I just went and double checked to see if they would indeed fit and they are not even close. Thanks for the idea though. It never hurts to voice your opinion.

[@myrclife]

I wish I could add pictures to comments so I could show you.

[@t-low6484]

No worries just thinking out loud I guess 😅 great vids love your channel

@@myrclife So I just picked up an Outcast with this kit installed. The front 2 bolts won’t tighten up… anything I can do to fix it or do I need to replace the entire housing?

[@robertb.4202]

I am definitely looking to upgrade the rear tie rods. My first bash with the Outcast 8S lead to a stanced look for one of the back wheels. The stock tie rods clearly can't handle the punishment.

[@myrclife]

That's exactly what happened to mine. A hard landing with all of that weight shoved the tie rod ends into the plastic turnbuckles and stripped all of the threads.

[@robertb.4202]

@@myrclife, I had to readjust both of my links to be consistent with camber. I have been weighing different options. How has durability been with this part?

[@myrclife]

I have bashed this HARD and had no bent/broken rods or hardware. I think this is a definite fix for the rear of the 8s outcast and 8s Kraton line of rc's. Its worth the money.

[@robertb.4202]

@@myrclife, awesome! I know another good option is Vitavon…but they aren’t cheap. Thanks for sharing! What do you recommend for steering arms?

[@myrclife]

I'm still running the stock steering arms up front. They have been holding in there so far, and my truck is EXTRA HEAVY with the 12s battery setup and that HUGE Tp power motor I have.

[@alor6643]

I mounted on the top holes of the hub, and I can’t adjust the camber. Can you justify every bar what adjusts?

[@johnnyfabry1187]

Does it interfere with the batteries?

[@Pauly_______]

Rovan tires would be cool to see

[@myrclife]

Maybe I'll put my rovan tires next

[@jackpremiumaccount]

How do you like them so far?

[@myrclife]

It really changed how it handled and I'm not breaking rear A-arms anymore.

[@Pauly_______]

I have those on my Outcast and they have been great so far 7 months. A lot of people don't like them and say the center piece pulls out but not on mine.

[@matthewcostner2937]

Hey my rc brother how much for the x maxx tires you got 2 or 4?

[@myrclife]

I got 4. Make an offer

[@jcamacho12000]

Be aware of fake GPM parts. I ordered this exact item, but I noticed that this gentleman's part came with stainless steel screws, whereas mine came with black steel screws; then, during installation, it didn't fit well. So if anyone else experienced this, please comment. I believe there are fake GPM parts out there being sold.

[@myrclife]

I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience. Thank you for bringing it to my attention so I can watch out for fake parts and let any of my viewers know to watch out for fake cards. Thanks for watching and commenting

Hey flyboy✌️. Now go pound the tar out of it. I need to see what stress that puts on other parts.

[@myrclife]

I will do that soon. I'm trying to get the motor back in my trans am before snow hits Michigan

@@myrclife What's up with the t.a?

[@myrclife]

Spun a rod bearing July 3rd this year.

[@myrclife]

The motors been at the machine shop all summer. It's bored .030 over now, took .010 off the block surface as well to true it up, Speedmaster Pistons, lt-4 hot cam, new crank, and a full gasket set (obviously). It almost ready to go in the car right now. I'm putting plug wires on as we speak.....or type I should say.

[@spike--]

@@myrclife Good luck with that
