[@RoadsideRC]

Excited to see what you do with it next - now that it has some really good power!

[@rrrccc1571]

Great video, something chilled to watch while having my morning coffee

[@jaceSHO]

Just what I was looking for with these $149 Infractions - you gots a NEW SUBSCRIBER !!!

[@jdpasl]

I like that programming card so simple.

[@bryanrupple7441]

Thanks for sharing the upgrade details.

[@CCxRC]

No problem. Run footage coming soon. Shot the video already. It’s quick!!!

[@GarageLifeRC]

Heck yeah Tony. Nice video man

[@rcguygarage]

Did you just stub your toe when the camera took your picture😂🤣

[@LuBiBochum]

Very good. !!!! Thanks for this video.

[@scaleworksRC]

If you're worried about damaging stuff from prying multiple times, you could also use a dead blow or rubber mallet to knock that part loose.

[@therchotspot]

Nice man. Looking forward to see what you do with yours. I have one I made brushless too running on 6s

[@asfbi]

What combo? How's it hold up

[@jessjoshwyatt3571]

If you update the esc you get more settings including 7.4 on the bec I believe

[@dannyman574]

my buddy did this last weekend with his infraction and he is running 4s lipos. thing is absolutely insane. the 9turn burns up instantly after doing donuts.

[@jamiefox8670]

Wonder if the hoss motor would be a nice setup for this?

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

A mega is on the way!

[@Acornejo02]

Is this brushless motor the same one that comes in the big rock ? I got a spare one laying around and I was wondering if I can use it for my son's infraction Mega and save some $$

[@johnarmstrong5074]

Can you post a link to what drill your using and the attactments? Please

[@dskokos77]

Once you put these $220 dollar worth of upgrades in does the car perform better than a typical Venedtta or Infraction brushless out of the box? Or is it perhaps faster? Anything else needed to support these mods?

[@raymonde.tanneratomic-rc9370]

Like the body style of the body

[@jblflexyt8142]

does a 1/8 scale motor fit?

[@alanchamberland2656]

How did you connect the controller to the esc

[@superstatus2640]

Is the new spur gear plastic?

[@reddeerrebelrc6674]

No esc to receiver calibration?

[@ThatsQuacktastic]

Is there a brushless motor option that can be used with the stock esc? I am looking for my first rc besides a crawler and dont need anything crazy fast.

[@CCxRC]

Unfortunately no. This ESC only works with Brushed motors. Are you looking for on-road?

[@joshuarodriguez7654]

What if I’m not running lipo battery’s currently? I don’t have a smart programmer. I ordered this set of motor and ESC because I keep burning up the 9turns. What should I do to change the setting in to NIMH battery? Also, is the pinion and gear needed to change with this set up? Just want to make sure I have everything ready.

[@CCxRC]

You can program it from the buttons on the ESC. You can also use Nimh

[@GreatLakesRC]

Did you set your end points 🤔 Arrma needs to offer this as a brushless option 👍

[@CCxRC]

You know what. I totally didn’t. I’m usually changing to my DX5 rugged from a stock radio and don’t need to because the RTR electronics are already calibrated for Spektrum radios which are all so closely calibrated that it isn’t necessary. Totally blew it off. I doubt these are calibrated to Spektrum as they haven’t been programmed for an RTR

[@elijahwoodward3404]

How’s you slipper clutch holding up? Great video!

[@CCxRC]

Haven't been able to drive it because of snow.

[@asapplayz6912]

is this a good drift car?

[@DomVito87]

Considering getting this for a off-road track they have …

[@stickfurniture02]

Get the middle support for driveshaft.

[@MudMonsterRacing4]

Dont forget to add the center driveshaft bearing brace.

[@CCxRC]

That’s a good add

[@0123abcd1]

How has that pinion gear been working out for overall bashing Did the same upgrades you did just don't want to burn anything up Running full throttle :)

[@CCxRC]

I swapped out to the 3s slipper setup

[@0123abcd1]

@@CCxRC do you have a link for that item?

[@LucianTugui]

why there's a need for a new spur gear?

[@0123abcd1]

Are you running a 3S or a 4S battery on this setup?

[@CCxRC]

Just 3s

[@raymonde.tanneratomic-rc9370]

Where did you get the work mat's at?

[@CCxRC]

CowRC.com

[@jadenjamison5435]

what’s that tool called you used to take the spur gear assembly apart?

[@CCxRC]

The funky shaped one that came with the car or the electric screwdriver?

[@jadenjamison5435]

@@CCxRC the funky shaped one! i gusss i didn’t realize it came with the car i never looked inside of my box haha. i appreciate the reply tho!

[@asfbi]

Can get get by long without the aluminum housing

[@addicted2rcs49]

Hey there my KZbin friend, how could I make my Arrma Big Rock Crew Cab 3S faster without having to upgrade it to a 4S upgrade kit. Would I have to get a smaller or bigger pinion gear?? Please let me know. 👍

[@bmc_rc6212]

Get a bigger pinion gear, 20t piñon Rips in my typhon

[@addicted2rcs49]

Thanks for your help mate. 👍

[@jessjoshwyatt3571]

Don't forget the bigger pinion is not made for bashing only blacktop speed runs. Motor will run hotter the bigger the pinion or smaller the spur

[@addicted2rcs49]

Right OK thanks for that info, I'll just leave my Arrma Big Rock Crew Cab 3S as it is.

[@addicted2rcs49]

I'll upgrade everything to make it a 4S setup instead.

[@rogerrigg7520]

My comment went to you instead of another channel, my bad!🤪

[@gillian9178]

You really should use the Aluminium motor mount plate when going brushless, the motor can move mounting the extra power of the brushless motor has. Otherwise it can move when mounted to the stock plastic motor mount.

[@CCxRC]

Yes. I ordered one and the driveshaft support

[@user-vb3dg3pb6s]

Why wouldn't you give it a clean up before the build

[@JamrsRC]

This would be easier for you next time if you dip the whole car in mud and then try to work on it!

[@numbnnuts1]

I put a 150 amp firma a 5900kv brushless ON 4S. Regeared. And a driveshaft bearing.6s is next GPS SAID 134 MPH ....... DONT FORGET THAT YOU WILL DESTROY IT

[@stevewest7260]

Forgot a center brace for the drive shaft.

[@CCxRC]

Sure did.

[@christopherpaluck737]

Why not clean it up first?

[@CCxRC]

Time. I was needing to get it out and running.

[@gongora420]

😂 i burnt mine up to a tiny rock got stuck in my motor
