Upgrade the gearing(speed) to see how it does. Then put a brushless system in it later on.

[@hmisay4976]

I ordered mine as soon as Amain let me know they were available. I’m a simple man, I’ve driven the same near-stock 2wd Slash for about five years now and a handful of brushless smaller scale trucks from Banggood and such. The Misdemeanor is, for me, the perfect mix of style and performance. I don’t have access to big places to let a faster car rip and I don’t have smooth enough asphalt near me to bust out something like a Tamiya TT02 or a 4Tec.

[@10thScaleGarage]

Nice! I totally agree. The thing handles amazing with the setup it had now. I realize that's what all people with slow cars say..... But it's true!

[@maxcurry9667]

If it were mine, I would throw the hobbywing SCT max10 motor combo in it. That way it could be run on 4s if needed but probably run it on 3s most of the time. Obviously I would gear it up some as well.

[@DomVito87]

Bought mine for 150.... put a 4s system in. Its crazy lol. Handles it VERY well.

[@robsrcinsanity1220]

See what you can top it out before you go brushless. I believe it can handle 3s. Gear it up as much as you can and once you let all the smoke out take it brushless. Everyone always takes it straight to brushless(including me) I’d like to see what’s possible with a brushed system. Great video as always 👍🏻🍻

[@tstricklin4808]

[@HighhScore]

Are there any 570 motors with a lower turn for this thing?

[@CadgerChristmasLightShow]

I'm just blown away this is over 300 dollars and it's brushed. It looks so cheap at a glance. It makes more sense to modify an existing brushless 3s arrma chassis to run on the road, since this new "infraction mini" is a 3s brushless arrma with a brushed system in it for the same price.

[@10thScaleGarage]

Brushed motors can be cool, too!

[@McDonRC]

I agree it wasn't worth $300+ but recently picked it up on sale for $150 on sale and we'll worth it. Already added a brushless system and it's an absolute ripper.

[@djapothecary]

I love your suggestion to rename it the 'misdemeanor' 😜

[@10thScaleGarage]

I can't take credit for that. One of my viewers suggested it.

[@Steven-ig4vn]

Misdemeanor is higher than infraction should be violation

[@robmendell743]

Misdemeanor would be a baby felony, baby infraction is maybe warning? Lol

[@slv-mf7ui]

The Misdemeanor is the same chassis as the Vendetta, so if you're buying it to upgrade to a more powerful setup you might as well just buy a Vendetta that comes with a more powerful setup. Also I'm assuming the 30+ MPH on the box is if you change the gearing. Did they include a higher gearing? I know the Traxxas cars include a higher gearing setup for you to use for speed runs.

[@10thScaleGarage]

You’re absolutely right. No included gearing.

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

Even brushless I think this car is worth the money. She isn’t fast but she’s very good looking! Also handles very well. I have a MAX10 / 3200kv ready to go in it though 😬🤗

[@rcengland8227]

are you having issues with pebbles jamming up the steering?

[@cwthemachinist]

First modification: 2 or 3 more teeth on the pinion, followed by 3S. Try to get the most out of the brushed setup before switching to brushless.

[@10thScaleGarage]

That's the plan!

[@paulettesaunders6003]

I am looking for something, that came be found for Christmas 2021,I do have a brushless system out of a Traxxas Slash 4x4 a V,ah something that starts with the letter V. I would like something for off-road, Bashing Or Crawling!I understand not one in the same! But Advice would greatly be appreciated,Please keep in mind I dont want to break the bank and really would like to put the brushless motor and probably everything I saved from Slash 4x4 1/10TH! Hope Im not asking to much

[@10thScaleGarage]

Redcat Wendigo kit. All the electronics will swap right on over.

[@aiizen_pr]

It is currently 199$ at tower hobbies is it worth getting it?

[@Moistfersure]

These are down to.150 now, Is it worth it?

[@Chris-sd6os]

Please try a bigger pinion to see if you can hit the claimed 30 MPH with NIMH

[@10thScaleGarage]

Definitely.

[@ottotarnowske987]

This is aimed at the beginners IMO. I got my son the typhon mega to learn how to control the car versus just hammer down on my on my Slash. When he of course learns a bit more and wears out the brushed system it will get a max10 upgrade. All in all its a good deal for the beginner.

[@10thScaleGarage]

Good call.

[@10thScaleGarage]

Morally vacant pushover?

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

I’ve run mine for 5 min or so on 3s still brushed. Motor of course gets really hot and kinda smells burnt ha. It gives it all the speed I’d want though. Wish it could handle it! Or is there a brushed motor that I could swap out that could take 3s? I have a HW system ready for it but I’m mainly ripping through gravel and dirt trails etc.

[@marcusgrimes726]

I grabbed one. Didn’t even run the brushed system, immediately swapped it for a castle brushless. A couple things, this thing sits LOW. If you plan on running off-road at all you will have to trim the body. I used some aftermarket shocks, and slightly larger tires to get the ground clearance I needed. With the copperhead 10 on 4s this thing is literally a danger to anyone who is nearby. Doing that first speed run I got the same rush of adrenaline I get when I’m doing 6th gear freeway pulls on my street bike

[@10thScaleGarage]

I mean, I’ve driven the infraction and I own a felony, so I wasn’t really expecting much. I have no intention or desire to take it off-road.

[@marcusgrimes726]

@@10thScaleGarage it’s actually hilariously fun off road. Well, the right kind of off road I guess. Like I said, mines on 4s brushless, and with some street tires on, it basically drives exactly like an awd drift car, except instead of rattling across linoleum, it’s blowing up berms and shooting roost 6ft in the air

[@thejeepinrealtor5742]

I didn’t get to pull the plastic off of mine. Ordered from tiny adventures RC. Plastic already removed on this one and the TRX4 I ordered through them. Not cool at all. I have a MT8 preordered through them. Sure hope it isn’t also going to be preopened

[@eugeneferguson5987]

I can get a used one witb a castle system for $150. Is it worth it?

[@MrSchmitty1000]

Hy. Could you maybe messure the shocks for me? From eye to eye. I'm doing a Senton to infraction conversion but i dont wanna use the plastic shocks

[@10thScaleGarage]

They’re 70mm. I just did the math, and i think it’s going to cost more to convert a sention than just buy an infraction. The only thing that will swap over (other than electronics) is the chassis. Arms, links, shock towers, driveshafts, body mounts, wheels/ tires, literally everything. Sounds like a fun project, but a big investment. Let me know how that turns out.

[@MrSchmitty1000]

@@10thScaleGarage i know, but the thing is, i dont like the Vendetta and i freaking hate the spektrum bs..... i live the look of the infraction but not the brushed stuff and i want the wheels of the Vendetta, these dirt ofroad things on the infraction are ugly. So there is no other option than building it myself like i like it.

[@dskokos77]

Worth it at the current price of $220? Any simple mods that don’t need supportive mods to get the speed up?

I put a castle sidewinder 4 in mine, the tires lasted 1 5200mah 50c 3s pack.

[@TheMileHighRC]

Mine is on the way and yes, I'm definitely putting a brushless setup in immediately

[@CadgerChristmasLightShow]

You might as well have bought the real full size infraction then. This infraction mini is 320 bucks. 340 or so with tax. Then you spend another $150 or so on a 3s/4s brushless system. That's around 500 bucks... just save up a little more and buy the real thing at that point. Or buy a used 3s brushless arrma, any one of them, put slick tires on it, lower the stance, and get an aftermarket body similar to the infraction. Then you have the same thing as this new car for half the price.

[@mikeearls8158]

I say keep it brushed and see how much abuse it will take before it is in need of repair both on and off road! I’ll bet it takes a while to break then upgrade to the next most popular thumbs up 👍🏼 Oh and definitely paint the Steelies gold!! No regrets!

[@10thScaleGarage]

It sound like this is the overall consensus. Lots of people want to see a monster brushed setup.

[@Imprisoned1995]

I’d be interested if they made a brushless version. I don’t want to spend the money to upgrade, might as well get the big one time you spent to upgrade. I prefer the size of this over the big infraction and 50 would be fast enough I don’t need 80mph.

[@Piaspeedy]

can you fit an 1/8 scale motor in there?

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yup.

[@Piaspeedy]

Thats nice since the vendetta comes with 1/10

[@vitodambra72]

Ahhh great video brother, thank you! I have a Raider mega xl before i put a brushless system upgrade , it may have the same esc?? it will handle a 3s lipo. Maybe look into that before switching it to brushless and see if you can get that up to 30mph. *(Arrma claims) 🙄🙄Thanks again for the 🔥content💯

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yeah. I’m sure it’ll handle 3S but I didn’t want to risk letting out the smoke before I could film a proper video with it.

[@10thScaleGarage]

Jenny’s RC? Is that a hobby shop?

[@romper4444]

This trucks 200 bucks right now, incredible deal! I actually prefer the NiMH battery, more speed than a 2s lipo, bout the same punch. Its actually a good battery. The speed controller will handle 3s if you run a 17t 540 motor. its actually a rebranded hobbywing 60a ESC and specs for that show 3s capable on 18t 540/550 motors. A good 17t is close enough. Drop the pinion a tooth or 2 and she flies, no brushless needed!(this test was done on a granite 550 tho, stock motor cant take the 3s for long)

Just picked one up for $199 black Friday sale, canandian too, cant imagine how cheap they were in the US? But the acceleration is painfully slow, I for sure woulda thought with the upgraded 9Turn 570 motor over the granites 12t 550(which I also have) it woulda had way more Jam. ESPECIALLY with the smaller light tires and only 1 tooth bigger over the granites pinion. Really disappointed arrma!! Like u can't even punch it and enter a drift, u gotta full speed, brake and crank it to get one lil drift. Honestly I think the traxxas titan 12T is much faster. I even did a staged voltage water break in on the motor, how much worse is it without a break in? I'm going to do a speed and acceleration to 20mph test against the granites 12t 550 when it arrives new from horizon (because the stock motor lasted 3 battery packs in the new granite) the granite felt like it had more punch. I ordered some 9.6v 8cell NiMH batteries and I will test them, then drop in a yeah racing 13t 540 motor and compare. Trying to find the best combo to run these brushed cars on. I tried 3s lipo but the motor cant take more than 2 passes. So 9.6v NiMH should be a happy medium. we'll see, I'll post up a video.

I have one of those! It's super fun, but this is WAY bigger and if you're interested in modifying or upgrading, this is a much better platform. Also, parts availability is in a different league when it comes to the Arrma.
