AI Designed Arrma Infraction - SMART + Scorched RC

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

Thanks for working with us Josh! Great video!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

My pleasure, super fun project and I've got more to learn on the Smart system! Time to update the radio for more control.

[@dirtberger4533]

I finally got a DX5, why did I wait so long. Dang. I am loving it.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Pretty crazy how easy these cars will do mid 80’s. And to think of all the effort we put into the VS4-10!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

It's got to be the size :) Size matters from what I'm told.

[@thomasbialzik3060]

So glad it made it home in 1 piece(tire scuffs excluded). 86 MPH is amazing especially for your first outing. Mother Nature is jealous so she pissed on the parade. Awsome build can't wait for future speed runs!!

[@chirsch9895]

The facelift looks incredible, great job bringing it all together. Always raising the bar love this channel.

[@schwettyballs8877]

That car is bad ass

[@TurbochargedHobbies]

Really cool seeing you mess with something besides crawlers or 3 wheelers

[@jacobhenson3952]

It's really awesome you're doing this now. I just got a V2 Infraction last week and looking at all this stuff.

[@Hoosierdaddyjones812]

Get you some perfect pass parts and servo

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

Car looks great. Nice work to the painter. Great job giving the painter recognition...

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Moosejaw does a great job painting and helping moderate the channel, he's a good friend.

[@MZBallistic]

39 tooth spool should put you in the triple digits, just make sure your throttle pull is slow and gradual the esc will hit cut off if you pull to quick. Make sure the rear suspesion is stiff.

[@Dr.Crawler]

Just watched all the Inburno videos. And I was hoping to see your Infraction. Thanks for everything you do.

[@ronstoner1656]

Good to see you enjoy the on-road part of the RC world. As always great job on the vid!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Yeah, it's rarely are area where I do anything that I feel is video worthy. Normally I'm just screwing around if anything. Had a lot of fun with this one!

[@JThelen1031]

Hats off to Moosejaw for that insanely good-looking paintjob. WIng and splitter look amazing as well. With the ESC programmer, there should be a port on the power button that you can plug it into as well for less futzing around. There's a rubber plug to keep moisture and dust out of it. I've used it for programming the spektrum ESCs in my rigs.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I looked on the power button for it as well but unfortunately it wasn't found on this one. This mold is different than other Hobbywing based ESC's because it hows the screw hole.

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

That really is a nice setup and the GTR body just makes it that much more appealing. Hard to resist the infraction in this form.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I still like the truck... but it doesn't look half this good!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

@@HarleyDesignsInc all I can say is if someone made a 77 trans am body for the infraction, I would need to make some room

[@jeff2633]

Could the warnings have anything to do with the setting you jacked up some?

[@MrDOZA28]

Saw my friends Felony running for the first time yesterday. Even out of the box its ridiculous. Amazing Rc.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

So crazy how good they are out of the box.

[@Numb360]

Damnit Josh! Now I may have to build one of these. That GTR body makes that chassis way more desirable to me.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I can't believe how much better it looks like this! I've always liked the car but this really steps it up.

[@ashleyconnelley1856]

Awesome video my man thanks a ton

[@aegixxer1]

I do not need an Infraction... I do not need an Infraction...I really want an Infraction...

[@1980VINZ]

To me, you made this car looks AMAZINGLY ATTRACTIVE. From chassis to body, this is so realistic, so BEAUTIFUL……. I wasn’t interested by this model, the Infraction, but you’ve totally changed my mind !!!! Big salut 🫡 from France ViNZ.

[@justinomarino]

The Spektrum radio has its voltage alarm set too high stock. You can change that in the telemetry menu.

[@CaseyD406]

Finally we see it in action. Great run. 90 should be easy.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I feel like 90 is possible too! Maybe some light weight drivetrain components, a center spool and more?

[@Jbzy3000]

Have one crawler with all smart stuff. I am slowly converting all my cars to the smart system. Redoing my tc5 and putting a smart setup in it. Then on to the big cars. Spektrum hit the ball out of the park with this system. You can upgrade firmware on batteries, esc, and controller. It’s a win win. Nothing ever gets truly out of date.

[@213inc]

Awesome video definitely sold me on the gtr body been thinking about getting one. Look into GRP tires I been using them for years. And look at adding a bigger cap pack.

[@All_RC_Fun]

Nice update to the Infraction.

[@nrvous309]

Really nice work! That car is spectacular. Lovin the livery

[@HellaNorCal916]

Patiently waiting for speed run 2.0. That was awesome 👏🏼.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

It really makes me want to buy some more parts! Speed is fun!

[@Pnwrcaddict]

86 for a first run seems good to me! Pretty amazing for right out of the "box" electronics.

[@jezuzmowsmylawn]

Looks awesome. If you upgrade the firmware on your radio and esc you can adjust everything without the programmer.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I'll get on that ASAP!

[@jezuzmowsmylawn]

I meant to say you can adjust everything from the radio in the telemetry menu, but I think you understood that.

[@chicagorc3967]

very cool to see another RC enthusiast in IL

[@jerryvolpini7987]

That's one fast crawler! 😉 Great job Josh, clean build, looks amazing! I'm sure that thing has a lot more in it! 👍

[@jms493]

That was cool. Thanks for posting.

[@donald2818]

Great looking car Josh. I would be tempted to keep it on the shelf.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

It was scary to run for the first time! It left some mark on the the fenders that I'm going to have to protect from the inside.

[@107ramrod]

Looks good You should paint the wing standoffs black

[@briang.sherwood7518]

Nice to see you using a good radio brand.

Thanks! Moosejaw did a great job of taking the photo I gave him and turning it into reality.

As it started to rain and you continued to make passes, I cringed expecting to hear that all to familiar sound of lexan on pavement. Such a good looking RC, I dont want to see it get damaged lol

[@TimboSlice9er]

@@HarleyDesignsInc it's well worth adding to the driving toolbox. Track racing is so much fun. A tie is not manatory, no worries. 😂

[@ramos.nitrorc]

Can you recommend any grippier tires for this car?? like foam or something?? thanks!

[@hcottymo]

This is is sweet! I seriously need to find someone that can paint bodies like that. I’ve been wanting to put the GTR body on my Infraction. Only thing holding me back is that I won’t be able to come up with such a nice paint job.

[@mgscheue]

Now there’s a pre-painted one. Just pre-ordered.

[@josephcaruana9165]

Kindly where can I find instructions how to add the telemetry system on some my cars?

[@josephcaruana9165]

Kindly did you tried the ABS because I have same radio and I used the ABS with different set ups but every now and then the brakes fails and most of the time I ended up crashing the car because it could not go round or stop so it hits the curb or the wall at high speeds!

[@EXTREMERC416]

That body is sick tho

[@hotboyracing]

Why aim for 90 when 100 is a nice round triple digit lol but damn there goes the credit card bill going down when I order a infraction…

[@EXTREMERC416]

I think horizon hobby should focus more on making more bodies and pre painted bodies options for bashers that are not limited Edition. I dont like spektrum but i would buy this body for sure.

Get some better batteries if you want to push it. Leave those brakes soft. Strong brakes will wreck you. Car looks awesome. Famous last words "just one more" 🤣

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I can definitely see the risk in the higher braking value, but right now I have almost no noticeable brakes and it is terrifying! :)

[@Horror-cow]

Wooohooo over 85 and didn't hit your ankle.. but even I want to know why you are getting the battery alarm.

I went with zee Batteries 3s 5500 mah 120c and isdt charger When I 1st bought my Typhoon 3S i bought a spektrum gen . 2 charger and two battery's and they lasted a week i know mostly likely bought bad batteries but when I went to buy knew ones and bigger charger so i can charger two at a time they want almost $ 600 Canadian for it so way to expensive when you're paying almost a $1000 for 1 of these arrma rtr up here 🤯

[@ECLECTICELECTRICRC]

⚡️⚡️⚡️In my experience & many many other peoples experiences with Spektrum “smart battery technology” is that the technology itself actually kills the spektrum batteries. I have multiple Spektrum Smart Batteries purchased for a community project that literally killed themselves due to their “smart technology”. They forced themselves into storage mode which drains the battery to a storage voltage & then they continue to drain themselves until they are completely empty & can no longer take a charge or get recognised by the voltage checker or the smart charger. Resulting in a personal loss of hundreds of pounds £. I purchased about 10 spektrum smart batteries for & 2 smart chargers & now I’m down to 6 batteries.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

That is something I will continue to monitor over time. I have a few other Spektrum smart packs that so far have held up for me but it's always interesting to hear others experience with them.

[@ECLECTICELECTRICRC]

@@HarleyDesignsInc I hope they hold up for you 🤞🏻. I turned the automatic storage feature off to see it that will help save the remaining 6 battery packs. I would send them back but I ordered 2 charger bundles which came with 4 batteries & I purchased 6 more separate batteries because you are only allowed to order 2 batteries per delivery. I had to order them from multiple stores online just so I’d have them ready for a community project. I still had to wait over 6 months for a Senton & Vorteks too. They are ALL except for 1, are still brand new never used batteries. The problem is that all of the batteries are all exactly the same without any way of knowing what store they came from. Any ideas would be appreciated greatly 🙏🏻.

[@EXTREMERC416]

Spektrum eco system is a hot mess. Specially their escs and motors who are rebranded hobbywing but at a cheaper manufacturing price. The baterries are so expensive. If they had a warranty for life maybe the price would justify paying 3-4 times more than other brands that are just as good or better...

[@moe282]

Those batteries are so lackluster its not even funny, they're almost as bad as the Traxxas cells. Friends don't let friends buy Horizon rebrand electronics.
