Arrma Outcast ExB Roller Did I install the servo saver wrong? Why is it pulling Left ?

[@SpeedSyko]

This is fun! Everyone has a different set up and tuning. I can’t wait to show mine off as well! Always great content Brother Earl👊

[@chrisstevensrcadventures9017]

When I got my typhon it was the same way and it was a RTR I was so mad had to adjust the whole front end . It's like they just slap.it together and send it out any more !

[@SpeedSyko]

Yes I was going to say check bell crank and servo saver. I had to set my steering up 3x’s to get it right. I have rpm arms and I shimmed the arms so there is no play. Man, I’m going to check over mine and see if I can figure out your issue.

[@BEASTMODERC]

I had the same issue with my K8 EXB. ALL THAT SLOP In the front upper a arm’s. I also add the camber issues the pillar ball not retainers kept backing out on one side also I switched everything over to the M2c Pillar ball kits. Fixed all the issues except for the slop in the upper a arms

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Good to know ⚠️🔥

[@BEASTMODERC]

@@earlmoorhead5555 Also one more thing I can’t off the top of my head remember what size motor you used but I used the Hobby Wing 800 KV motor in my K8 EXB and I had to sand the steering rack down a little because of the motor touching it it wouldn’t allow full travel or it would get stuck returning back to center I uploaded a video about it, and sanded mine down. Feel free to check it out and I appreciate all the helpful videos you put out everybody

[@Naginc]

That's the aluminum washers in the hub. Very common after first run, you have to tighten them down, especially when wheel wobbles. Take wheel off like your removing balls and tighten those aluminum washers.

[@kennethmattsson880]

Ordered a Felony on Friday. Will do a thorough unboxing inspection when I get it. Always best to check a new rc..

[@bensettos8705]

From here your pillow balls look pretty loose. And you might need to put some heat shrink around your turnbuckle ends to get rid of that slop

[@nadersedaghat5694]

First tighten the pillow balls. Next take the servo saver off and turn on the car center the steering and install savor correct way with the 2 arrma logos facing each other. Afterwards adjust your tie rods and afterwards shim your hubs.

This is the exact reason I build my rc myself...I don't need a lil kid that probably doesn't play with rc building my rc

[@3630FS]

Had same problem on the exb roller left front wheel toed out from box ! Had to disassemble front end and reassemble with added washers. Still not totally right !! Arrma told me to send back but at the time they couldn't guarantee a replacement? Only refund ! So like you said it is what it is. Quality Control not a major concern at Arrma when demand is great !!:(:(

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Right they can care less 👍👍

[@robsrcinsanity1220]

On my 1/10 scale I use a framing square to center my toe and my camber then you can adjust them to suit you from there. The toe is always the hardest for me to get right for my speed runs. Love your videos bro 👍🍻

[@earlmoorhead5555]

As I’m certified in automotive alignment and did them for two year on an alignment rack one thing I’ve learned is with all that slop no measure tool would fix wheels moving around and I wish it had a camber adjustment 👍👍🔥🔥thanks again 🔥

[@robsrcinsanity1220]

@@earlmoorhead5555 I think that’s why I struggle with toe adjustment like I do, too much movement in the hub assembly.

[@restinpiecesrc5528]

Looks like you have more than usual movement in the upper left arm, id just go through and check that everythings tight in steering first and work to the tires, its an awesome looking truck

My v5 kraton 6s has slop like that in the front. Annoys the hell out of me that Arrma charges so much money for these and they have soooo many flaws . My center diff leaks , the slop in the wheels , motor wasn’t tight from factory noticed after a battery or two . Wore the teeth out prematurely because it was lose . Arrma has got to get their stuff together. They charge a lot of money for these things .

[@EXTREMERC416]

A lot of money? The T brand charges a lot more. Its not a race kit. If you want presision get the teknos 30/40% more expensive

[@paulclancy2404]

Exactly, you have to understand that,

[@rogueFactor]

i agree that quality control needs to be improved by at LEAST 50%. I also know that when i buy a car 1:1 scale or smaller, i ALWAYS check EVERYTHING. i kick tires, i check fluids, i check diffs(ok maybe i don't do diffs on 1:1 scales, but still) Factories don't always get it right. Part of this hobby should be the upkeep and that starts right out of the box. Keep in mind this is also a roller edition with 3rd party parts added to the build. Earl bought a Tesla CyberTruck without the motors or steering wheel in it and he had to install the "go fast" parts aftermarket.

[@All-rc804]

Hi did you solve that issue? I have the same problem with loads of play

[@Killa_b_rc]

Not bashing arrma (no pun intended lol) but I really think some days they just say “f it…I’m going to lunch” when assembling some of these RCs.

[@rogueFactor]

man i was having a similar issue on the servo/servo saver in the stock RedCast 8S. Both my servo mount and ESC mount were loose. Only one screw was loose. Threads weren't biting and that caused the whole mount to move.

[@walterjackson8449]

adjust the pillow ball link run in out for camber tight the caps not too tight

[@earlmoorhead5555]

If the pillow ball not tight to the upper arm it will back out that why they added washer to take up the gap I can add washers there but run the risk of pulling out the thread 🤔🤔

[@rcpd3157]

Looks like LF if turning to far, your endpoints set right? Definitely lots of slop, my 6s is just like that.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Can’t set endpoint on right separate from left front wheels 🤔🤔and the slop won’t allow any alignment to hold properly 💯💯🤷🏻‍♂️

[@rcpd3157]

@@earlmoorhead5555 mine does that, set it, drive it, and it pulls 1 way or the other, usually right, then come back to myself and the steering is flopped to one side, usually leaving the LF looking cockeyed and it makes it pretty hard for me to drive....my husband even wrecked it, trying to show me you could still drive it like that🤣

[@rcpd3157]

I think he figured out a way to help mine but idk yet...I have to take it back out soon to see

[@earlmoorhead5555]

My red rtr outcast just seems tighter then this roller 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@DrHyde-cq3eg]

What about adding some rubber tubing around the hub/cvd area, where it meets? Maybe it could tighten things up for you some. I noticed ours pulls away a lot there. Washers on the pivot balls to maybe, that has to much slop to set anything now. Idk...just guessing.

[@truboy555]

SBF may have done it..you got take hubs off and reassemble..

[@Macgyver46]

I have these issues on my lasernut. I changed out the plastic part that sits on the steering post next to the ESC and some of the issue went away. Still have way to much slop though. I changed links and a lot of parts and just can't figure it out.

ARRMA is droping the ball! Take it back and build another drag car!

[@MikeTheBarber86]

My truck is finished and my truck is still pulling left as well.

[@josephmorelli3191]

Hey Earl. Do you have trouble keeping the wheel nuts on the OUTCAST? No matter how tight I try to put them on, I often find them about to spin off when I check.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Not at all I’d check the Wheel hex make sure it’s not rounding out 🤔😳

[@josephmorelli3191]

Earl, thanks for your reply. My OUTCAST has only been run twice & the the hexes are in good shape. While I am getting on in years, I can’t believe I am not strong enough to put the wheel nuts tight enough, but I will try harder next time I take it out. Would you think a drop of LOCTITE would be ok & might help? Keep up the great videos,

What’s up brother I had the same issue with my outcast. It must be something with the outcast building crew lol. They ran out of 12 year olds so had the 10 yo’s come in that day. 🤪 All jokes aside my kraton and Mojave and limitless were 95 percent good, but my outcast was 50 percent messed up.

Hi pal. I recently built my kraton 1/5 exb...the servo saver needs to be attached at 1 o'clock not at 12 o'clock (striaght up) once you center the steering servo with your remote. There is a diagram in the manual. I did a video on my install and point this out. I didn't have to adjust the steering links. Heres a link to my vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJazZp6cZ7Kgaq8
