"Grim Reaper" outlaw build

[John Parks]

I've been preaching that for about a year. Makes life easier??

For sure man. Should have did it on my losi as well from the get go. Plus it matches great on this build

 

[John Parks]

So the akihiro cage didnt have a front mount for the losi. Not really sure why he designed it this way, but I fixed it. I know, my welding isnt great ?. But my battery in my helmet was poop and I did the close your eyes and weld ???.

Either way it's pretty strong and my kids were getting on my nerves so I rushed it also. Its off to powder coat should have it next week and I'll finish the rest then hopefully.

Duh.... and yes it's quite nice looking ??

Of course when I was benging the steel tubing the last 5 degrees it cracked right at the bend. So had to weld that to.

i Have a question, if the hybrid uses Baja extended rear arms how can you run plastic arms Since the plastic arms are standard length. Would the irp extended adapters bring the rear to the same width as the front.

These arent plastic arms. They are billet, just anodized. But normally yes, you could do that, wouldn't be perfect, but close to the eye.

This an outlaw chassis, which is a hybrid in a way but it's all machined parts and comes as a kit like a slider. A DIY hybrid is kind of a bunch of parts mixed together if that makes sense.

Ya, I was looking at the kit that doesn’t comes with arms. But rear arms have to be extended. But extended arms only come in billet. So I was trying to see if there is some kind of walk around ,if you wanted to use plastic arms.

He offers 2 kits, one as a slider kit arms and all. Or one as just the chassis basically with some of the outlaw pieces.

If you use baja plastic arms, you'll for sure need extended adaptors for the rear to match the front. If you have the flm extended arms it's almost a perfect match

 

[blackrain]

ok, so hopefully with the adapters width should be the same or off minimally .

Finished up the brakes tonight, was waiting on the inner piece that goes against the cam. Also make shifted a p clamp for a brake guide. What do you guys think. Leave it or take it off?

I'd just leave it. Doesn't hurt to have it on there.

 

[Seandonato73]

For once I agree with young bumpicker. Leave it, cant hurt to be there.

Got the cage back, looks 100% better now. Buddy owns a custom shop and does awesome work

 

[crucialRC]

That looks good John! How does it attach at the rear? I don't see any posts going into the rear bumper like the Losi cage?
