According to Arrma, another big difference between this truck and the Vendetta is that the Infraction 3S was designed with a bit more ride height to make it more worthy of dirt roads.

[@daffyduck829]

I have both. It's true.

[@DozerBoyRc]

Hey Greg!! Thanks for taking the time to get a video out while on vacation!! Looks like you found where this truck could really be showcased. Great video and keep them coming!!!

[@rcdriver]

NP, lost a bunch of family time. But I had a bunch of people asking for the review. I wanted to make sure I got multiple days of drive time in on it. It impressed me, a lot! Thanks!

I might buy this next spring. Looks like an awesome vehicle. Thanks for the great showcase.

[@shuster1921]

Brother, I'm falling in love with Arrma!! Some of the koolest looking bodies, interchangeable parts on like models, built for bashing hard and speed in most cases, easy to work on, parts support, etc!

Awesome street basher. Got one with different color. Love it to bits. Well worth every penny.

[@richardpichan6916]

I totally agree, these are great vehicles!!! I just picked up an Infraction 3s blx and a Vendetta converted to the Infraction (R/W/B Mega body) w/the Spektrum Firma 3200kv motor & blx100 esc w/fan. My daughter got the BLX and picked up on the drifting quickly, I took the converted platform (a little harder to drive with no AVC) and it runs right with the 3s blx. Bound to my GT-5 I have been able to set a couple different profiles to tune it in. They also run well on my 2s packs. Even compared to my beloved Mojave 6s BLX V2 these 1/8 Infractions rip. So happy I picked them up.

[@rcdriver]

Awesome! Glad to hear you like it!

[@BeardedBasher]

Dude… push this or the 6s infraction to the top of your list, I’m no Arrma fanboy but something about the infraction that that you instantly fall in love with. Such a menacing truck but gives you full confidence the minute you pull that first Rip… feel your pain with the never ending list tho, so many great trucks from all platforms at the minute 🤘🏽

[@williamperri3437]

Listen, I have driven both and own both and the original Rustler couldn't touch the 3s Typhon or Senton in fun factor or wow factor, and even the updated 4x4 Rustler couldn't touch the 3s line. The Stampede against the Granite? Forget about it! Then Arrma came out with a wicked fast speed truggy! And the 6s Typhon! Then the Infracton just took on road to another level and the looks and design are amazing. 3s Typhon lowered a bit with on road wheels or 6s worn down buggy wheels is one of my all time favorite rigs...

[@SeeJayAre]

Should be a short list... 😉

Hello from southeast alaska that truck looks sick bro

[@davidrivero7943]

Checked the components for Vendetta to Infraction 3s, & the second Vendetta coming lol will become an Infraction and be saving $ 100 bucks . Never thought id drive Arrmas. So far , so good.

[@mybusiness6125]

Plastic gears are a dealkiller for me. If it had the new 4S stuff it would be cool. By the time I replaced the spur, hardened pinion and all the plastic garbage in the diffs of my 3S Typhon I basically spent as much money as if I'd just bought a 6S Typhon. Learned my lesson there.

[@fozzy7199]

I am glad I scrolled down to the comments before finishing this video as I was considering this or maybe the vendetta. I guess I just gotta bite the bullet and splurge for the 6s Infraction or Felony.

[@MrDngrsdave]

im not sure why you need metal diffs and spur for a typhon 3s.... they are very strong and keeps weight down my typhon 3s is all stock drivetrain except a 18 tooth pinion and and I have not had any failures after atleast 40 packs put through it. what saves your diffs is maintenance and good grease.

[@AsurasWrath164]

I just dont get why ppl buy this overpriced arrma stuff in General when one can buy a 1:7th scale hobao onroad Roller with the best drivetrain the rc industry has to offer. Just need to buy electronics of your choice, wheels and a body. But thats too much work for the most at the beginning, because they rather maintain and shim the poor arrma diffs constantly afterwards🤣

[@swampcritterisbackbaby1740]

@@AsurasWrath164 Right. Why spend 500 on a 6s typhon when you can drop 420 on an off scale car and then drop another 500 in "the best" parts to make it run.

[@mybusiness6125]

@@MrDngrsdave Sorry bro but if you haven't stripped a plastic spur yet you just aren't sending it hard enough. The plastic spur is trash. The input and crown on the diffs hold up a little better but still don't last. Also are your plastic shocks really not leaking after 40 packs? Are you sure they have oil in them? The 6S metal bodied ones are so superior.

[@rcmtb1052]

I need on road car, I like this one but If I have a budget I will buy the 6s one.

[@dr_racing7998]

The first thing to do is get the belted hoons that’s made for the vendetta/infraction 3s. The stock tires don’t last that long (if you drive kinda rough)

Yup, And it’s hard not to drive full rip. lol

[@RCCaveStudios]

Great vid but I wasn't excited at all when it came out cause I had already did all the upgrades to 3s day 1

[@jimfrankiii4976]

When you were comparing the 3S and the Mega I was wondering if the bodies are interchangeable, as well as the 6S version, thanks. Keep the great videos coming.

[@freddieflanders]

I think the 6s version is a lot bigger so the body wont fit the 3s

[@rcdriver]

You can use a Infraction Mega body on the BLX. The 6S is larger and will not fit.

[@rrrccc1571]

Vendetta didn't really do anything for me but this has really peaked my interest!

[@rcdriver]

I like the Vendetta for fast fun in a straight line and that’s about it. Some people like that. But I’m loving the high speed drivability of this Infraction BLX!

[@mgscheue]

Yeah, Vendetta is tempting (especially at the current $100 off), but this does look more versatile.

[@AndyRC]

Nice. I love arrma. I still have my granite blx and have quite a few upgrades like 4s and she is a beast. I would love to get this however my issue is the cost of the tires. To replace them here in Canada I am looking at 100$ and that is insane and a rip off in my opinion

[@jtrescom7542]

It's pretty awesome... it needs lights REALLY BAD!! And now... where can I find one? 🤔

[@treysals]

Why is the vendetta better for a straight line and not bashing in a parking lot? They seem like identical vehicles except slight right height difference and the body.

[@relichunter1092]

Can you run 2s on this?

[@treysals]

Anyone run the 3900kv motor on 4s yet? I’m curious how it handles it. I have the Vendetta and put the spectrum 130 in there but haven’t ran 4s yet

[@whatsintheboxx]

Very cool video. Would u say it’s drivewise like the vendetta or is there a noticeable difference between those two ?

[@rcdriver]

Oddly enough, I did not like the Vendetta in a “road course” style drive. It’s dialed for straight line runs. I found the Infraction BLX to have much better all around drivability.

[@mananight8202]

@@rcdriver Any chance you could dig into how it is physically altered to drive differently? The parts seem to be IDENTICAL, except for foam bumper, side guards, and body.

[@mnakash77]

I never ran this one but I did run the vendetta which power slides like a champ. If you say this one is your favourite it sounds amazing. Did you mean you prefer it to the 6s on road line?

[@rcdriver]

If you have the space, the 6S line might be the better option. I’ve only driven the Gen 1 6S and did enjoy that. But for the price (with 3S packs) and the size that is perfect for most running areas I have available to me, I absolutely love it’s performance. I actually just came back inside from running it again and checked this video for new comments to help with. Guess I’m hooked on it, it’s a blast!

[@whistlinlipo]

Graig, my wallet is begging you for a break! Great review🤘

[@wallythacker7772]

Part of the fun for me is doing up realistic bodies for my road cars and then ripping them around. Nobody makes bodies for this size car yet. It’s not sct gt car size, it’s bigger than 1/10 touring etc. Maybe a company will turn some bodies out for them but unless other manufacturers make cars this size then it will just die off as the model dies off. The point of hobby grade RC besides the speed and power is customization. Without customization then it’s just another RTR Rc car that gets left behind when the next great rtr car comes out.

[@kevinwhite6176]

There are actually 3 bodies available: the stock body, the vendetta body, a protoform 2021 mustang gt, and a protoform 2023 Nissan Z body. I just know this because I just bought an infraction mega to upgrade to brushless my own way and got the Mustang GT for it :)

[@Sempath2023TechGuy]

[@balazs645]

bro the song if fire can i get the name?

[@wallythacker7772]

I do not understand why they wouldn’t utilize the 4s power plant in this rig to coincide with the new 4s lines’ update. It would’ve made more sense to me to go that route and have on/off road vehicles in each different class. They’ve already got the vendetta on road for 3s, the brushed infraction, the 6s infraction/felony, so why not a 4s on road car? I know it’s a simple power combo swap but just seems like they missed an opportunity to expand that line up.

[@sakfpv8444]

I think it's a good on road option for a lot of the people running the other 3s models, big rock granite etc. That already have a stockpile of 3s batteries. My big rock v3 is the toughest rc I've owned in 20 yrs. I have had breaks and modified some stuff, but very minimal.

no differences. Body, Frontbumper...

Why do “Arrma”, keep making RC’s with the same quality style and performance, and also with the same similar internals? Fast, fun, ripping around parking lots? Is there any other type of RC’s that they can make, like for example drones or construction RC’s, what about license cars from real car manufacturers? It would be nice to see real car manufacturers put all of their vehicles in RC form. I know some RC, companies already does that, but lets see regular, more detailed RC cars out there. Example, like for a BMW M5 or a BMW SUV type of RC’s. There has to be another world, to todays new technologies in RC’s. I would like to see new RC’s like the, “transformers”.., the actual 1980’s, 1990’s and well into 2000’s transformers become real RC’s and the RC’s versions, can actually do what, the cartoon transformers or movie transformers can do. Can you imagine that?

[@MrDngrsdave]

this car has the exact same issue as the kraton 4s... its too expensive... $750 aud for this or $850 for a typhon 6s or $950 for a kraton 6s... the rest of the 3s line costs about $600-650 aud... really can't justify buying this if I can dave a little more and get a 6s rig..

[@Fpsnut]

I agree it's overpriced compared to other arrma 3s trucks. Even the Mega Infraction (brushed) is way overpriced at $300 compared to other brushed arrma trucks. BLX Infraction In US is $400, Typhon 6s is $500, and Big Rock is $340 right now. If you want to get into hobby and can only afford one truck right now, Big Rock is a no brainer. But if you have a bit more money to spend, then for only a $100 more than Infraction, you get 3 times the car in Typhon 6s. A ridiculously overpowered RC that can race on pavement and do bashing too, I put Talion wheels on mine and have no problem doing backflips off even small jumps. These infractions I feel like you get them once you already filled out your collection and have your Big Rock and a 6s arrma car and just itching to get yourself a drifter now.
