Airborne at 90+ MPH in the GTR Arrma Infraction!

[@Papa_Shorty]

Last time I tried to get an RC to go fast I ended up having one less RC.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Definitely my concern with going this fast!! If I had access to a runway, I think I’d be addicted.

[@Papa_Shorty]

@@HarleyDesignsInc can’t help you with runway. All I have is a mountain.

That crash hurt my soul!!!! I almost couldn’t watch it knowing there was a crash to come, Joe did an amazing job on it!!

The GTR body is certainly a good looking set up, battle scars included.

Such a beautiful car. Moose killed it...

[@akoshorvath-risko5838]

That was a fun watch! I could see myself going down that rabbit hole next after seeing that. Thanks.... I think?

[@stephenwise734]

That is one of the coolest RC body's I've ever seen!

[@LRCR]

Great PB on the first speed runs 94 is fast ... Not to badly damaged for that speed ✌🤠👍 Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing 🙏 Stay Safe and Play Healthy Josh and Mrs. 🏁💯🏁

[@Robert-rc2hl]

You need a Knight Rider body for that thing. With the sound it makes, would totally be awesome with a kitt body with the working red led.

[@ThePedlheD]

Dude! Josh! Dude!

[@michaeltrilck5680]

Jeeesus! What a „ground to ground rocket“! 94… Good idea,to stand in the loading platform from the gladiator… If it hit’s you in the shin, it‘s broken… 😳Nice Build… 👍👍👍Scratches? 😮Don‘t worry about it! Only on the shelf the RC Car doesn’t get scratches… (But also only if your wife does not dust there…😂)

[@JustInvertedFpv]

Just to share some info on the battery monitoring thing that spektrum has. I haven't used it specifically but I have flown fpv drones for years. When I first started flying I used a voltage alarm but pretty quickly just stopped and went to just flying on a timer. The reason is in a high powered drone (similar to these cars) you draw so many amps when you are on the throttle hard that it will always alarm but those are just momentary drops in voltage and when you ease back on throttle you then get a better picture of what the pack voltage actually is. Long story short of you pay attention to the alarm and just stop when it goes off you are leaving lots of voltage left in the pack and aren't likely getting anywhere close to an actual low voltage situation. You'll get more useful info just throwing a voltage checker on the balance leads real quick when you bring the car back and it's at rest. The spektrum system is likely to just yell at you all the time and make you feel like you are needing to stop when it's not necessarily an issue.

[@qrisemrc]

In the fast-running RC car genre, it seems like you always have to be nervous because even the slightest mistake in the control can cause the car to shatter. This is a great video.👍👍👍

[@Sysiphos]

I'm not really into speedruns but it makes a fun noise, I also like your enthusiasm and old man groaning 😆

[@1LACOSRC]

Duuude, that beast rips! Bummer about the lid-skid..looked cool though! Pretty decent plastic..that grind sesh almost gave your ride a sun roof/drop top😂..triple digits are on deck for sure..time to go Plaid🤣🔥🤘

[@meirdeaph]

Evin with the scratches still looks amazing. Like a real race car now. That was awsome

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Those scratches hurt, but now I won’t feel too bad next time.

[@thomasbialzik3060]

My tear glands flinched as it took to the sky. I'm glad the damage was mostly cosmetic even though that body iiiiissss SMOOTH!(I heard a young barista gal use "smooth" Saturday morning. I guess SPANK has finally fallen out of fashion). That crash did trim out your wing for more speed for ya😄. Thanks for another great video! It was awesome to see Nicole again. What a fun wife.🙂

[@CoachD386]

Yessssir! Good stuff, it happens when you get into speed runs… Gotta stay in the throttle a little longer on the top end! 👍🏾💯

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

At these speeds I need to start hunting for even better spots to run.

[@petechipps9770]

That’s awesome Josh. Once that first scratch happens it’s game on.

Nice Josh! 3:53 I got some extra Xpel when I got my car wrapped……works great on R/C bodies too😎

[@Bradkozakandfriends1830]

Car looks awesome. Even with the scratches. Maybe try a more streamline body for that last 6mph. Good luck.

[@rcjunkie260]

Nice runs minus the one. You should be able to get most of the scratches out the body using car headlight repair kit. Lots of sanding and a good polish, scratches all gone! I'm waiting for warmer weather to break out my limitless this spring.

Great build, good run.👍 sorry for the body.😱

Still nice looking build . Nice clean runs. Great video

[@tonygraff3255]

So dope. An thats all stock. Maybe a sleeker body for 100mph run

[@bigjeep_littlejeep3777]

Looks like it’s 3d printing time.. get that 120

[@TheWright1]

I am also getting the speed run bug! It is just so crazy to see a RC going that fast

[@cozy_Fozy]

You most definitely need a much longer road for this! Ease into the throttle over a longer distance, you should be continuing to accelerate as the car passes your location. You will hear the car noises dip, then steadily increase all the way to terminal velocity, kinda sounds like "shifting gears". Your short road forces you to go full throttle too soon, and then brake early so as not to run out of road, no room for top out. Hope this makes sense. 🍻

[@westdesertwheeler]

Each time I see this I want to build the Viper and go for triple digits

[@DaddyAiken]

More GTRRMA

[@idahorcguy7760]

Upgraded bearings will help a ton. Sucks you busted that body up. Maybe time for a delta plastic gt body lol.

[@radsk8dad932]

You can always do what I do and just add a sheet of carbon fiber overlay to the roof. Not only does it look good but it helps keep the roof saved and if you do scrape the carbon you just peel it off and put another piece LOL

[@justinomarino]

You can inhibit the warning alarms in the controller.

[@codyburkhart5819]

Everytime I make a slick body with all the right paint and looks killer...I have no self control and put way to big of brushless and first run she's war torn for life 😂 good thing I like beaters lol

[@marcushaas44]

A true race car needs some battle scars!

[@rud3y1]

Might be worth dialing out that toe-in on the rear wheels, rear toe-in is to make your turning more responsive, something not really needed for a speed run. so your needlessly scrubbing the rear tyres and adding drag.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

That’s interesting, not sure I’ve seen the parts to adjust that on this platform. I’ll look into it.

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

With the body rash now its a race car.

[@kennethmeyers5008]

Nice body man. Great runs! What drone did you use?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

DJI Mini Pro 3

[@donald2818]

You should be using an old body for that. :)

[@toysforboysrc]

Man that’s a bummer.. nice road though, inside wasn’t even dirty but that seam in the road caught the lip during breaking? If it matters enough to you, the roof can be wetsand & buffed even by hand with the correct items and clear gorilla epoxy will mend your body crack. Just use clear tape on the outside and stand the body upright so the epoxy can self level and stay as a little pool above the crack until it hardens. You’ll be good.

[@mrniceguybaseballcards8486]

Im looking for a new hobby and I might try RC cars. Found this Arrma RC and liked it, that’s how I found your video which was great by the way. Can you or anyone else looking at this comment let me know if or how can I get a different body for this particular model? The “pickup truck” looks cool but it’s not my favorite looking body. Once again, thanks for the video!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Proline has the most body options for the Infraction platform. They usually state what kind of body mounting modifications are required as well.

[@mrniceguybaseballcards8486]

Awesome, Thank you!

Great runs I think you’ll get that 100 mark very soon with more runway , was the first airborne was that hitting a manhole ? It seemed quite sudden.

[@aut0bahn]

Yeah, so true. I have some very mean manholes out in front of my house. I can hit them going one way but if you hit going the other….goodbye r/c. I know from experience.

[@michaelmalmstein9698]

If you're still running on 6s, people have found the Spektrum 8s 160A esc bolts right in. Granted you may fry the motor eventually but you should blast past 100mph with no issues.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I think if I change out ESC’s, I may just go XLX2, but I don’t think that day is coming anytime soon.

[@michaelmalmstein9698]

@@HarleyDesignsInc I saw one guy running the stock setup and a 150c battery and hit 97.5mph. Another tooth or 2 on the pinion should help your top speed. I'd be very interested to see you crest 100mph. Keep up the awesomeness!

@@HarleyDesignsInc speedrunning seems to be a risky business. Those cars spend more time on their roofs then most crawlers... while doing speeds illegal outside of Germany or the Isle of Man.

94 is insanely fast for a car that's essentially stock. Body damage definitely a bummer though.

Going off of your motor temp after a bunch of high speed pulls you should be able to add 1-3 teeth on the pinion. Don't forget the cat toy next time 😂

Why not use the one in the radio? that body's really really cool. temps should be on the telemetry too..Ironic I found this link in an email sent to me from Spektrum RC. Maybe cuz you have that radio and the stickers all over the car, yet you're not using the radio to it's fullest. Again, I'm really bummed about buying that radio. Sorry Spektrum, but my 11-12 year old radio I got with my Losi Ten-T and also came with my Losi 8IGHT 2.0 buggy is way better as far as telemetry display goes. All displayed on one screen. Speed, Temp, and voltages. They dropped the transmitter ball in my opinion.
