Arrma Outcast 8S EXB V2 – Must-Do Pre-Run Checks & ESC Upgrade!

🚨 Arrma Outcast 8S EXB V2 – Must-Do Pre-Run Checks & ESC Upgrade! Hey guys and welcome back to ChriswithaC RC! Today’s video is something really special. After two years of hard work, grafting away building the channel video by video, comment by comment – I’ve finally been able to fund something that’s been at the top of my RC dream list for a long time… the Arrma Outcast 8S EXB V2 RTR. And it’s not just another unboxing – this is a full deep-dive into everything I do before I ever pull that throttle for the first time. My aim? To help you get the absolute most out of your new rig too, from day one. 🛠 What We’re Covering: I’ll take you step-by-step through the real-world checks and tweaks that matter. Here's what we go over: ✅ Differentials – I show you how to open, inspect, and top them up the right way. → For this setup, I’m running 1 million CST up front, 20 million CST in the center, and 500,000 CST in the rear. It gives you that sweet balance of control and launch power this truck needs. ✅ Shock oil tuning – Don’t overlook this! → I run 700 CST in the front and 650 CST in the rear – this helps absorb big landings and keeps the truck balanced and planted. ✅ Screw & bolt inspection – You’d be surprised what can come loose from the factory… ✅ Setting proper gear mesh – Essential for long gear life and smoother power. ✅ Suspension tweaks – For your terrain and driving style. ✅ ESC & Spektrum firmware upgrades – We talk why it matters, how to do it, and how to unlock the best settings. ✅ Adjusting brakes, punch, and BEC voltage – This bit is 🔥 if you’re running upgraded servos and fans.
