Arrma infraction V1 vs V2 my thoughts after a month

[@brucebruce3964]

I love how in-depth your videos are. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve went back and reference your video where you do a complete tear down of your in fraction with the GCRC 130 mile an hour title that video has helped me tear down my RC countless times I use it as a blueprint even when I don’t need it sometimes I got a playing in the background.

[@heat305rc]

Earl the hand brake on the v2 was one of the things that sold me over getting a felony. Im really a big fan of the infraction v2. thanks for comparison video 👊👊👍👍💯💯💪💪

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I really didn’t think I’d enjoy it as much as i do I really like the V2 and the power it has 👍👍🔥🔥💯💯

[@stuartbarham3958]

I love watching your vids 🙌🏼. I just got a felony and have ordered an infraction, I have been away from rc cars for 30 years, I find your videos informative, I have ordered some parts from basher Queen and some parts from scorched parts, keep up the good work 🙌🏼. Watching from the UK.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Very cool 🔥🔥

[@doubtfire85]

@@earlmoorhead5555 hey...did u ever figure out why one side drifts better than the other because mine are doing that also ?? 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@FatherandSon_RC]

Its nice to see them back to back. That V2 Infraction really looks like a blast!

[@Tight_Lines_Uce]

Thanks for the GREAT VIDEO. EXCELLENT CONTENT. Keep up the AWESOME work. Just ordered the Infraction V2. Should arrive by Tuesday. Thanks again for helping me make up my mind.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks 🙏 appreciate your support 👍👍🔥🔥💯💯💯💯

[@chrishester2928]

I've watched few of your videos saw how you where on off the throttle lightly It definitely helps when drifting....learning here ...thanks 👍

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks 🙏

[@jameswright5572]

Only Arrma 6s I have had ESC issues with is on my Felony. Get a little cut out when I leave it full speed too long. Looking the just swap it out with the arrma 8s set up.

[@ReadySetRC]

Great video Earl! Love the power of your v1 but the way you got that handbrake working in the v2, I could watch that for hours👍👍

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks 🙏 appreciate that took some trial and err for sure but once you learn to tap the brake a whole new level opens up for precision drifts I like it 💯💯🙏🙏🔥👍👍

[@jcallesano]

Am I also the only person that experienced grabbing the truck with the same method as you do and the screws pulling right out of the body? I bought m3 x.70 x 30 mm screws and put lock nuts on the underside so it will never pull out. Stock screws were stripped from factory and pulled right out upon first try grabbing the bar

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I’ve had to nut and bolt mine in the bed as well 🔥🔥💯💯💯

[@ronaldrengifo1879]

When people write to you telling you to learn to drive you should thank them. Then ask them to post a video on how to do it right.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

😂😂😂

[@mo89634]

I thought it was the 26 speed transmission

[@rastanonascension5246]

Tap the throttle is a must😇 formula 1 racers do it when weaving though traffic comes during practice, and other types of racers, I hear it in rockbouncer racing lots ,it help keep momentum on rocky steep up hill climbs,drifting,, you can manurer around corners , swings back end easy like earls doing right here . Nice 💣💪🏾💯

[@SpeedSyko]

All arrmas! Find orange lock tite from a auto store. Make sure you shake it up good. Never had a tire come off with this method. Let it dry overnight. I’ve damaged so many tightly secured tires brand new. A lot of trial and error

[@earlmoorhead5555]

It’s always the right rear because it stripped the hex on the rim and the impacts it way off 💯💯👍👍👍

[@ImHereForYourArtStream]

Great video Earl. I was waiting for the slo-mo replay of you hitting your BMW.. 👁️👁️

Hahahaha I was going to do it to but decided it was to dark to really get the cool effect 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

[@mickyovts3872]

Quick question please, does the v2 shell fit directly onto the v2??? Also how long did the 2050kv last on 8s?? Any problems etc.....thanks in advance...be safe

[@earlmoorhead5555]

The V2 shell is made for the V2 it should fix perfect on both v1 and V2 the 2050 lasted me a year so far still going 👍👍💯💯💯

[@scottsather1041]

I put 2 led strips down the center support & 2 12v fish eye LED’s for headlights. Running them off a 4s drone battery for extra 💥. Lol.... the left/right drift difference is weight distribution with adjustments in the tension of the shocks

Both are awesome rigs,great video and information

[@michaelsafarian1976]

First you really do a good job on your videos I have a limitless with a castle xlx and 2700kv tp motor. 👍👍

[@earlmoorhead5555]

That’s a great speed rip set up did you put the old update in the xlx to get over 400 amps ? Castle link I love because the 200 amps stock on the xlx is fast but the older program with the 400 + amps it puts out is insane appreciate the support 🙏🙏💯💯💯💯

[@ShadeTree_RC]

both nice rides brother ....enjoyed the footage

[@earlmoorhead5555]

[@jcallesano]

So the max6 handles 8s? Do you think the Mamba Monster X 8s esc is the way to go? I have a 100% stock infraction V2 with no issues, but was just thinking about it.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

The MMX8s is a good system it might have to many amps for the stock motor tho on 8s 👍👍🔥🔥💯💯

[@dolobrolic6066]

I was just thinking the same thing 🤨🤔........why the throttle tap? .......just lay on it........😉👍🏾

[@jameslyons1978]

the hand brake will assist a drift of sorts but the steering angle for V1 and V2 is the same. i would have liked to see Arrma change the steering set up on V2 to a wider drift style angle. still not a fan of going and buying a V2 just for a handbrake. always appreciate your vids though pal

[@earlmoorhead5555]

The electronics in the V2 are better and the steering servo in the V2 is quicker I agree needs more angle would have been nice and the quite gears in the V2 makes it feel smoother to me 🤔🤔👍👍🔥🔥💯💯💯💯

[@aristojose5754]

For those people telling you to learn how to drive they dont know what they are talking about lol you tapping the throttle to skid is equivalent to throttle modulation on a drift car to stay in drift great vid earl. im still torn infraction v2 or felony and everything being out of stock only adds to my pain

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks 🙏 appreciate your support 🔥🔥👍👍💯💯💯

[@FPVQuadModz]

Earl, how well does the max 6 hold up to bashing on 8s? Im building 2 speed run machines, and want to build a 3rd vehicle on 8s just to finish off the batteries once the speed passes are complete. Is the max 6 enough, or should I get a MMX 8s?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Max 6 has been working great on 8s for about a year now 🔥🔥💯💯💯

[@saransmith8773]

That's mad the v2. I want an infraction but all I can get is the v1. Is it worth waiting to get a v2. Please reply and tell me your honest opinion

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I feel the electronics on the V2 are way better and the rear drive shaft bearing support works so yes V2 is better for sure 🔥🔥💯💯💯

There pretty good fans yah racing and huddy fan all about the same speed works pretty good 🔥🔥💯💯💯

[@tomtizumsrc963]

Earl I like them both. And my opinion is keep one 6s and the other on 8s . Because when you sit down and think about it. There WILL BE times that you will want a little less power than a 8s and then other times that you will want to show off the big guns and then you can whip out the 8s and let the big dawgs eat. 👍🏻 But seeing how you have a V1 8s and V2 6s I am willing to bet EVERYONE would like to see you build a 3rd Infraction that has the best of both worlds. If anyone is capable of doing that. It will be you Big Dawg. 🤙🏻👍🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻💯 RCBROTHERS4LIFE 💪🏻👍🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻💯

What’s interesting about this build is you are a NHRA license driver and have a record or two in the quarter mile so watching you build a drag RC car is pretty darn interesting for me Doggy and by the way I don’t care for that rear handbrake at all it does nothing for the drifting whatsoever but if you can use it as a trans break now we’re talking

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

Stop pulsing the throttle so much, I understand throttle control is alot when drifting but you want to stay at a more linear throttle increments not on off on off on off. The way you drive is very annoying. Too much throttle disturbs the truck and makes your driving alot more sloppy. Keeping the throttle more consistent keeps your truck more stable and controllable.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Sorry you don’t like my style but it works for me 💯💯💯💯

Apparently you’ve never driven anything with power you have to blip the throttle for more contro in drifting ... even in the 1:1 world
