AMMRA INFRACTION V2 On Power Hobby Wheels Worth Running These Wheels ? Factory hoons better?

[@jessekormick3796]

Great video. Can't believe the rim did that 😳. Thanks Earl 👍🏻

[@davidconaway2830]

I'm new to the car RC world and have been ripping around with my Infraction V2 for a couple of weeks now. I don't have enough experience to have a qualified opinion on the wheels other than to say the center of the wheel should not have come apart like that, especially since the nut was tight. One thing I noticed on the power hobby wheels that I purchased is the inner diameter of the wheels was .011 smaller than the factory Hoons. I only noticed this because one of the wheels "self clearanced" itself on the hub/bearing carrier during a few runs up and down the road. I didn't notice any issues until I was cleaning the car after the run. Your channel has been invaluable to me and I truly appreciate the advice you offer. Here's to longer lasting wheels!

I'm not into Nitro so I haven't been watching much for the last little bit but, I like this. I see your almost to 15k. So close.

[@hybrid32494]

thats the first time I've seen mud guards for that chassis, pretty interesting!! Tire life is a main priority for me also. GReat point!!.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I like to save the wheels for my speed cars but seeing these strip like this no way I can pay for gone bananas foams to be ruined 💯💯

[@whatsintheboxx]

Mud guards don’t help that much. The tire dust and dirt will find its way anyhow, that’s what I’ve experienced so far

[@WindsorRcClub]

@@whatsintheboxx same here.

[@orangemound135]

I was thinking 🤔 the same thing about sending my PH rims to Gone Bananas 🍌 and foam them up. Thanks for the confirmation 👍

[@Tight_Lines_Uce]

Thanks 🙏🏼 for the comparison between PH and Stock. PH wheels are like you said in the video “ SHELF QUEEN”. Great content Earl. Thanks again 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@nofreerides7033]

Good to see you out there ripping it up 👍👍👍that’s a first for me never seen a wheel do that 😳😳😳

[@orangemound135]

Wzup Mr.Moorehead!!! Got my favorite rc da infraction v2 out for a spanking. Great video 📹 as usual 👌. Burn 🔥 baby burn 🔥

[@orangemound135]

Did you put the washer in between the tires..they supposed 🤔 to come with

[@tunaglove]

Nice to see you back on pavement.👍

[@philv9054]

Hi Earl, I've had issues with powerhobby wheels rubbing as well. You can ask them for spacers. They have send them included w some of the wheels actually for this exact reason.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

On the staggered set up they run the normal wheels been ok

[@cyclonerc1625]

Wheels and tires have always been an arch nemesis for me. Great rip while it lasted. Thank's for Sharing Earl 👊💥👍💯✌

[@KC_2112]

Hey Earl check out Method RC they have some decent 1/7 scale tires for the Infraction that I’ve been running and the price is pretty good.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

👍👍

[@Gazelle0078]

Cool video. Love my felony and infraction

[@jeremystewart1785]

It was fun watching that infraction drifing around great rip man.

[@jessewilliamson2408]

great run Earl. those tires look awesome on the infraction

[@branhamphotos5354]

Mr Details strikes again with some driving skills.

[@C_J_Edit_z]

I ❤️ the infraction!!!! Great video!!!!

[@RoostedFilms]

Oh yeah ! Something about destroying some tires on a pavement with an AWD RC Thanks for the show

[@moereefer]

Great run tires are not cheap. Always wanted see how these types of tires are. Thank Earl for putting it to test these tires and wheels they do look great especially on the limitless. Thank you 🙏. I seen people crash these the first time they start them up. But man ur skills are getting better every time 👍🏻

[@michaelvankirk3576]

something to watch now thank you Earl

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks 🙏

[@timesensitive2117]

Probably using the drill over torqued that tire. The plastic to metal was just a little too snug. Good video. 👍

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Nah they needs spacer as power hobby supply them now 👍

[@wasa7]

You already have another set so I would see how they hold up.

[@henryfoster3212]

Sorry Earl I've been working a little harder and I've been watching your videos and I haven't had enough time to wash all of them so I'm on bench watch them tonight thank you

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks 🙏

[@illhairacing3543]

Another great video Earl, I have had these tires for my infraction and haven’t had much problem with them but I love the way they look so I still bash a little with them

[@christophjumpertz3586]

Good to see you with your Power back. I am testing tires too. The original are expensive.😊

[@bucksrcs1583]

Nice looks like alot of fun 💯👍

[@joshuaheintz4657]

That looked super fun!!!👍🤘😃

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Seems like a cool spot till it open up security pretty cool at the college campus to 💪👍👍

[@cmalt-z7171]

Had to watch it twice, was wrenching the first time.

[@whatsintheboxx]

Good to see you back in action 👍👍👍 So those powerhobby tires ain’t that durable… think I will stick to the three arrma hoons compounds

[@emilio9456]

Great run, thanks for the test and information on those wheels. For the money saved and possible trouble they may create during failure I think I will continue searching for other options in wheels

[@hanomag251]

Wow, I had a few problems with aftermarket rims on my Maxx. Blew a brand new set of Proline Trencher in about 5 minutes. I went back to the original tires. Now, I'm only running the tires that are from Traxxas.

[@samoanpride753]

To much power for those boss! Pretty sick driving skills though! 😁👍💯

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Stock electronics tho 🤔

[@ChiefRickyRC]

I love this truck Good driving I enjoyed

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks 🙏

[@rcadventures578]

those driving skill are 🔥

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks

[@chadder1980]

I would think that it's dry bearings causing excessive heat due to friction. I can't see any other reason causing that much heat... just my two cents.

[@chadder1980]

Also I would periodically check each of your wheel nut Temps during your next run to see if it's just that hub getting real hot..

[@cstone1180]

Earl great vid, short run but think alot of these diffrent wheels is a trial and error but great vid on showing us what had happened thanks for all you do for the rc community have agood day and keep up the hard work love all the content 😎😎👍👍

[@crutch958]

Good to see your feeling better bro, those rims look awesome on that truck man, that concrete was super rough I think that probably is a factor in why that wheel melted great vid once again!!!

[@SpeedSyko]

Earl, the full size and the minis are such a blast! Great run! Your going so fast for such a small space! Awesome!!! 🔥

[@jonvoogd511]

That's a new one, didn't see that coming 😳. Drifting is always a blast. 4TEC Brother.

[@lifeofdave1237]

Hopefully a 1 off Dodgy wheel rim. Definitely shouldn't have done that. I wonder if the melting plastic on the hub was what caused it to go into overheat and cut out, before the wheel fell apart. Should really last at least the life of the tyres. Can't beat the hoons 👊 and that ain't saving imo either. Great ripping earl 👌

[@jrubjrub82]

Great video as always. Horizon had a sale on stock tires a couple weeks ago, I stocked up, especially on the felony rears. Out of all things to ruin your rip. Melted wheel.🤬🤬🤬

[@BEASTMODERC]

I had some personal things going on recently I haven’t been Able to catch many videos lately. At least now I’ll have some things to watch for a little while LOL but awesome video Brother. And yeah I think I would go with the hoons.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Everyone seems busy right now as cost of life is crazy expensive

[@stuckintrees4796]

👊

[@Bluecuban71]

Cool run ,loved seeing the Infraction out running ! That shouldn't of happened , the rim should have lasted much longer than the tread . Glad too see you out ! Hope you're feeling better 💯💯💯👍👍👍

[@carlosvelazquez4649]

Definitely not a savings with shorten life and having to replace the hex nut also. Greetings Earl.

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Guess that wheel could not ROLL with the Throttle Punches!! literally!!! JK...

[@ST-zx9ue]

I ran a fresh set of white hoons on 6s for one run on fresh tarmac and destroyed them. From now on damp tarmac or polished concrete for me 😜

[@robertshaw4469]

earl i just bought a dbxl do you think that is a good purchase in your opimion good video always learn from you!

[@michaelkowell7106]

Had the same thing happen while drifting on rough concrete. Too much traction, wheels can’t handle it. Now drift on much smoother concrete.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Funny it was so dirty I had no real traction tho 🤔🤔

[@Rc-ho4sv]

Been busy lately, got some catching up to do 🧐 I love my V2 .... But man I've had 4 runs with babying it . And well the 5th I felt comfy and well the tires are gone lmao . They can go so fast with this RC lmao

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes my twin motor kills tires so I tried to keep this one on 6s and stock power system to extend the life of tires but man $100.00 every few packs can’t do that at all 😱😱🤪

[@Rc-ho4sv]

FIRST AGAIN!!!!!what’s up Earl ?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Notification squad 👑💯👍

[@chadbiermann3380]

I think it's weird that it melted like that with the wheel nut tight. It shouldn't have got so hot with it tight. Bearing issue maybe?

[@pitbullrcltd6252]

I'm by far no authority with all this RC tech stuff but my common sense tells me that I can't believe heat could play such a pivotal part of the equation when dealing with the plastics of tires and wheels reacting to heat like that..... maybe a bad run at the factory ??? or do the wheel hexes actually heat up like that during a bash session normally ..... either way ....... always excellent content E..... thanks for sharing..... ☮++++>Out!! 👍🏼

[@GarcBomber]

Could've been a void in the wheel mold around the hub creating a weak spot, regardless with the price of hoons/GRP recently decreasing I'll stick with tried and true. Thanks for sharing

[@TheAdventuresofWally]

If there isn't a dry bearing problem then I can only assume it was a combination of your extreme heat and the friction of drifting. I never would have expected the rims to melt. I have bought cheap tires to do speed runs on my redcat shredder. I would only destroy tires. Never seen a wheel.hex melt. Figure out where the heat came from. I like silicone spray on my bearings. I'm betting it's the heat out there in California. Here in northern Newhampshire I melt after 80% never mind 100% lol

[@RON4RC]

Personally I put a few drops of racing bearing oil onto all four corners before I rip my felony. Thinking the heat on that corner took out the rim... Hench the other three being ok. My pal's tell me I don't meet to oil up since there sealed bearings and dirt can't get in. 🤔 I just do my own thing. My felony once blew out a bearing on the inside rear, so I replaced with the blue sealed ones and oil now and then haven't had any more issues. But anyways Earl another great vid and a fantastic new location today really enjoyed the drifts man ... Brilliant. Oh and I think it's good of you to try out different wheels and tyres for us so we can see the difference.

[@frankthetank9741]

Man, that sucks. They look so good and i was gonna buy a set for my v2. Guess I’ll try out some gold hoons for some grip

[@barryking8966]

That really is a wired finish on that concrete

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Right rough for sure 👍👍

[@reconrc1787]

Thanks for the wheel / tire review. I always appreciate a good new gear review / test. However everyone should know you can't just use a sample size of one test. I get that the wheel melted but it might have been a fluke. Did the other 3 wheels have any signs of stress to the plastic hub area? Maybe we can see the other 3 wheels under some light but the manufacturer needs to step up and replace that wheel. No way that should of happen, specially on a single run.

[@escobar-rc-sinnerz7108]

Im talkingg about those tires

Yes tires didnt last long at all but had good bite

[@ChiefRickyRC]

Shoot those broke off too easy that's a bummer they look really good. Bet they got hot and soft huh

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Definitely stripped the hex and got hot notice it wasn’t drifting right towards the end it was biting and going straight like diffing out but it was the wheels 💯💯

[@ChiefRickyRC]

Too much power! I mean it in a good way haha

[@THEMASKEDMASTER]

✌🏻😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿I was wondering how long it would take to get back to electric RC’s. The rim looks like it caught fire and melted WTH 😂 I will be honest and say I don’t watch the fossil fuel /nitro stuff. In fact I am dead against the things. I found this guy in Cali that finds really old full scale cars & converts them to electric to give them new life. He put panels on the roof & runs all 22 of his own electric cars for free. They only do that. No more fossil fuel 👍🏻. I was wondering.. do you work on any electric cars at your garage? & are you planning on doing anything similar at your garage to make sure it has a future? Or do you plan on selling the garage at retirement?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

We already work o. Electric cars from the body shops in are area idk if will ever modify them to electric tho 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

Hate your session ended like that. I’ve had cheap wheels do that but those shouldn’t have done it.
