Check it out - Found this Gem - Converted It - Outlaw "Evolution"
by morgrp on 2011-04-18 23:25:35 UTC
My dad gave me a box yesterday after having a clear out where he works - He found two RC cars - One is a decent condition Taiyo Jet Hopper Turbo and the other was this super rare Tyco Outlaw!
It's not in great nick but does have the controller. It was missing a rear shock spring and the steering was completely buggered. One of the rear wheels is damaged and it has lost it's stickers
The biggest problem I had with my Outlaw when I was a kid was the lack of front suspension so I set about rectifying this problem with my newly aquired Outlaw.
First here are some pics of when I got it:
Missing Rear Spring:
Damaged Steering:
Damaged Relay:
And now for the upgrade!!!

Finished conversion with nice new yellow shocks!
Nice new rear suspension:

Pretty goods by all accounts - not exactly bandit quick but does give my jet hopper turbo a good run - does good wheelies too - much better now with the front suspension. Considering it's size and the fact it runs just 6 double a batteries it's good - quite a bit quicker than a mini hopper which is basically the same car underneath. I am planning on selling it soon - I love projects and this one I'd now complete so I'll be looking for another!

morgrp-- I have a red outlaw that needs a controller and should be made hobby grade since there it no controller and the battery compartment is corroded and it has no antenna.
also i have an out law that has no suspension thought you might find that interesting
