We used to throw baby powder on the basement floor to get the cars to slide around . Mom would get mad as heck but she let us do it anyways . I can still picture my brother rolling the car with the wire attached . That’s how long ago. I had a cordless Ferrari from radio shack . Back then , info was scarce and it was top priority to keep them working and batteries got expensive . We did all kinds of things as kids . There was no internet or remote controls for the tv until the 80 s , hbo didn’t come on until til 3 pm , there was a gas problem for a while . I remember the 70 s as being tough . Dad was laid off from General Motors for a time and built some spectacular model ships to pass the time . They’re still here too

Was waiting forever for this vid! Love my infraction, such a unique driving experience.. For me I love the hand brake to be able to pitch it into corners sideways instead of trying to power over. And thanks for the DX6c tips, I just got the radio.
@americandeadhead50253 ай бұрын
It's my favorite car. I think there's a difference between power sliding and drifting though
@donaldmosby69313 ай бұрын
I enjoy Mark's enthusiasm with our hobbie of rc's. Truly enjoy his videos as well. To the untrained eye, Powersliding may look like drifting.it is not, it's sliding.Powersliding is a 4wheel drive experience, Drifting is a 2wheel drive, rear wheel style. Although there is both fun ,there's a difference in the way there driven.

I own many Rc's and I will say that the Arrma Infraction 3'S is hands down my favorite asphalt ripper 🙂 If you love the 6'S you will extremely love the 3'S !!!
@familyrc7773 ай бұрын
Do the tires last longer on the 3s version? I have the 6s that’s on 8s. I don’t drive much because of using tires. We have 3 the vendettas. So I’m familiar but never used a 3s infraction.
@jasongebhardt91943 ай бұрын
I’m not gonna lie, if you run the 3’s infraction hard like I do, you’re going to get 4-5 solid runs before needing new tires. I drift mine constantly on asphalt from the time I press the start button, until the battery dies 🤣

I am a newbie to rc, and the infraction 3s is the first road car i bought and it is impressive. It goes fast and is very controllable yet i can get it sliding when I want it to. I personally run my off road cars much more but, if i had to pick one road car, i think i chose right. I got the dashboard app and it works well for speed runs and alot of other stats that as my knowledge grows, it will add to my experience. I have a blast running this car, and its a nice change from bashing for me. Cheers

For a long time i wanted one of these but i chose the Felony over it's looks and right now it's my #1 Favorite on road car that i currently own next to the XO-1 but one thing i can say is that platform handles way better than the XO-1 before Traxxas' so called update although i still love my XO-1 and am working to rebuild it. But overall i think the Infraction, Felony and Limitless is a better platform and buy then a XO-1 in my opinion as much as i love both of them i like how my Felony handles more than my XO-1 did.

When I need to discharge my 3s packs, I connect them to a 12v to 110v pure sine wave inverter. Running a lamp, and air purifier will drain the lipo in 45 mins on average. Inverter cuts out at 11v, so a lipo alarm isn't needed.

The receiver that comes in the infraction is the 6110at which does require calibration. The receiver that comes in with the dx6c is the sr515 that doesnt have avc. Also, when i calibrate AVC i put my esc into calibration mode so it cant run away.
