ARRMA Limitless Gets Smart with Spektrum Smart Technology

This is great! I’ve been looking for a “recipe” for going 100mph with an ARRMA Limitless! Thanks for assembling all of the components (including motor)!

[@TomleyRC]

Nice! Love the tech.... although it didn't look arrow straight, what % was the AVC on? I run between 20-30%

[@rwardenutube]

So how does the Transmitter calculate the speed? It receives RPM data from the car - is there some setting that converts RPM to speed in the controller (as difference gear ratios would affect this calculation)?

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

It is a built in calculator in the transmitter. It takes the gear ratio, RPM of the motor, and the roll out of the drive train and boom, you got mph/kph

Man I was hoping to see the Motor esc install.

[@bobbysimpson5540]

Always get minimal info on these videos. How did the ESC fit in? What Gearing? Motor looks like a different one than first shown. I'm sure no details were given because it was not an EASY install.

[@mhunter4228]

Its the 1250kv motor with the 160a esc combo that they sell...In order to fit the esc in you have to cut the tabs off and the motor fits in just like it should and he's prbly just using what the car came with for the gearing. Most of the info is in the desc but he could've shown the stuff going in just by doing a time lapse.

Can you show a build with the new spektrum smart tech in a Mojave and Infraction.

[@ReadySetRC]

A lot of goodies in this video🤔 Great run guys👍👍

[@MatrixRC]

Nice I wished you'd mention how to fit the 160A esc in the limitless esc tray. The mounting tabs are in the way. Or did you replace the mounting tray from out of the Infraction or Felony? Otherwise you will have to cut the tabs off.

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

Chop Chop! ;) Hack the tabs off and use included mounting tape to stick it in the tray. Hope that helps!

[@adharezafahlevi2188]

What is the length of the 1250kv motor spectrum the same as 1100kv? does a 1100kv spectrum motor fit on the arrma limitless?

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

1100kv is quite a bit bigger, and I doubt it would fit with out some sort of modification.

[@Liberty.Francis]

Does this setup log ripple voltage? Wondering if capacitor pack is needed (it usually is).

[@Alohakoa59]

Did you use the rechargeable batteries in the tx? How do you recharge them, take them out each time?

[@RittenhouseLifestyle7]

I have a quest about my Vendetta. As you know it has a 100amp ESC with the 3660 3900kv. I have been having much trouble with LVC. The car goes into a safe mode or limo mode, even when my 3s batteries are still full. I also have the Spektrum programmer and each cell is exactly balanced. Now I’m just staring to learn about the AVC feature. Can the AVC possibly be causing my car to go into Low Voltage Cutoff? I downloaded the latest updates for the box and Esc. I set the LVC to 3.2v and it still does it. I am merely trying to just drive in a straight line. Speedrun it. I mean it literally has happened everytime I’ve tried driving it. Any tips to lookout for? Please help. I did purchase this car direct from Arrma, maybe the Esc is bad? I don’t know but it is frustrating.

How did you get all that to fit? Motor and esc came today. With how you have it set up the motor wiers are not long enough and the esc dose not fit how you have it

Mike Ward the esc I cut the mounts off and double sided it in. Motor takes a bit of adjustment. Had to loosen the diff mount then pushed motor in and re tightened the diff mount

nonsense. what motor? what ESC? this spektrum electrics fit easy!

[@badbrad1564]

Correct the motor fits easy just have to work it in . HeAt sheiks will not work. Esc just cut tabs back just enough a screw will still hold . But I cut and just double sided tape. You can’t pull it out with the tape. Point the esc motor leads toward the motor.

Awesome, will the 160amp firma be a marketable diff from the 150am blx? Ive got all other spektrum smart tech including the dx5c/sr6100at so I figured it was the "smart" moves..... forgive the pun lmfao im just getting back into the hobby after 8ish years plus im new to electric cars so im trying to learn as much as I can. Is there a noticeable difference between 150amp and 160amp ? Plus I saw two different firma 160 models, one was $199 and the other was $209.99. Whats the difference?

[@SpektrumRCvideos]

@@jjirish81 on 6S, both of them should perform the same. BUT the 160 can handle 8S :) the 2 different Firma 160 are that one comes with a Capacitor pack which is there to help with voltage feedback when braking, which is good for speed run cars like the Limitless.

Everything worked perfect in my infraction.

[@JayTeeRC]

Gearing. The limitless has that 36t spool and that is way to much for the box system. It might work better if u have a cap pack but you either need to change that spool out to a center diff or change ur system to something better

Because a rey 750kv motor doesn't have the RPM, Its all torque, on the limitless you need both, thats why a 1250kv motor is perfect, for this application, and its weight.
