Tough Street Bash RC Car! Arrma Infraction 4x4 Mega Review | RC Driver

ARRMA is hard at work making sure everyone’s basher RC Car needs are met. Their latest releases are really stepping up the fun factor possibilities for those looking to hit more road-like terrain. Those releases are the ARRMA Infraction 4x4 Mega and the Vendetta 4x4 BLX. These ⅛-scale Street Basher and Street Speed machines have fun-seekers talking and we were lucky enough to nab both for review. This video however is just going to focus on the Infraction 4x4 Mega. This exciting looking electric RC truck has lots of new features bolted to a familiar chassis. Greg will go over all the details of what’s new. Then he takes it out for a serious Street Bash RC Car test. Not only will he hit a parking lot for some speed passes, but he thrashes it in a dirt lot AND goes wild in a skate park too! Is this new car really ARRMA tough? We’ll find out!

I hope they turn this line up into rally cars with long stroke dampers. excellent video as always, pinnacle of product reviews

[@rcdriver]

That would be rad! I always thought Rally needed more love in this hobby.

[@theirishaxe9405]

I wonder if you could put granite or big rock aarms and shock towers and shocks on it that would be cool.

[@zonegamma8197]

i would be interested in rally race rc more fun then carpet

[@WNYRC]

Our rally group is making these their own class for 2022. Looks like a great vehicle for rally.

@@WNYRC excellent , i look forward to watching some video action

[@ty27tp]

Never thought i’d see an on-road chassis look so composed at the skatepark, even some trucks look like they don’t belong there

[@paulrobinson9355]

Awesome video, you really enjoyed making it! The skate park bash was brilliant 👍 I have its big brother and this car looks equally as fun!

Not a lot of skate parks near me, but man this video just sold me on the truck! Love the look of it and can’t beat the price/fun factor!

[@JohnTaylor-zl4tjr]

Great video. Huge thanks to your good lady for finding the skate park.

I know right! She was getting a little bored watching videos in the same spots. I agree, it's just hard to find places to run around here.

[@ReadySetRC]

Got to agree looks like a great skatepark basher. Great video Greg👍👍

[@2040RC]

Nice review and this car it seems fun to drive! Beautiful video, thaks for sharing 😀

[@michaelhoyle3266]

Certainly gave the roof skids a work out. LOL. Looks like that skate park was perfect for the truck. I like scale looking bashers. Would be cool to see one with the Felony body in that scale. Brushless would be next level but doesn't look like a necessity. Thanks for the video.

[@scottbarger9438]

Like a good wine and cheese pairing , such is your pairing of music on this one. Good job. Love your passion expressed on this one too and that shot of the surveillance sign was a cute touch. Cheers. R

[@rcdriver]

Thanks! I just picked up an Epidemic Sound account so there's lots of new music to search through. I have been using free KZbin music up until this point. This video was so much fun to make and it helps when the product is an absolute blast!

[@the47thpresident]

Last year, $319 was the price of the 3s brushless Big Rock, and the Mega line vehicles were around $260. This feels like a big step backwards, value-wise.

[@rcdriver]

Prices are up on everything. I paid $9 per 2x4 this year when finishing my basement. Just a few years ago when I finished my basement in my old house I paid $1.06 per board.

[@vibe808]

@@rcdriver those 2x4’s are even more in HAWAII 😂

[@RCKickschannel]

I really like it. Not sure about the skatpart bashing but some trail blasting for sure. Arrma and doing some great work.

[@redvikinghobbies]

Can't wait!

[@bra1nc417d]

Just ordered this exact one, from Tower Hobbies, Scratch and Dent sale, for only $170. This will be my first on road RC and I'm excited! It's pretty awesome, how it already has the .8 mod gearing, so that will save some money, when I wanna go brushless.

[@jakedassan4117]

On road at the skatepark...that's my cue. So long RC it's been fun/pricey.

[@kennethmeyers5008]

Nice

[@bigblock146]

My boy will be stoked with this for Christmas! I pre ordered the same colour that you have here, it does seem a little slow in comparison with brushless/lipo, but pretty sure it'll be plenty fast enough for our local areas

[@rcdriver]

Yup, big lots you may get a little bored with it. But for smaller spaces, it was actually well powered and fun!

[@zer02garage83]

I know everyone is very "brushed-phobic" but this is the one I'll be picking up. The price is perfect! Great review Greg and congrats on the huge subscriber jump my dude!

[@Timsfpvshow]

ii totally agree with you plus after i buy this and save my money back up then i can put a decent brushless system if i want and end up with an infraction without having to drop 700 in the beginning. great idea for us regular people without big budgets,

[@zer02garage83]

@@Timsfpvshow true, or the size too. The Felony/Limitless/Infraction are HEAVY... something a lot of people don't consider, but mine has to weight over 25lbs... you run into an ankle or god forbid hit someone with it and its gnarly

Did you get it? I had my last brushed system hit about 29mph in 2017.

Looked this truck up cause it's on sale for 150, think I'll grab it. looks sick. might have to upgrade to brushless ASAP, all I have is 3s lipos lol

[@TheUnknown714]

I wonder is they still have the metal shock upgrades? My experience with ARRMA plastic shocks has always been blah, their metal shocks though.... awesome.

[@El_Sin.07]

Probably my next truck, was gonna get a traxxas rally but i want this instead

[@ironj100]

I think it's a great speed

[@EJ-74]

NIIIICE ✌️

[@chadfullard4974]

The old granite brushed we had over heated very easily on lipo batteries. Otherwise a great truck. Does anyone know if this thing handles a 2s battery on a decent run time?

[@cjdougherty2728]

Just curious what 3d printer do you have in that white inclosure

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

The suspension definitely looks beefy. It will be interesting to see how well sealed the drive train is after being ran through dirt.

[@DOFIXERR]

It's on sale right now for $150. Close to pulling the trigger!

[@davidrivero7943]

Late to this Party & eeying this showy but slow Truck. @ double the speed & the Vendettas have been bullet proof which would make this brushed version last a long long time.

[@paulrakis]

Nice looks like a very fun car. Time for brushless?

[@coenmtb]

I didn't get an infraction, because I supected that this thing was only for use on road... Got an Senton instead. Man, was I wrong about the Infraction! Would love to see how far off-road you could go with this thing.

[@zonegamma8197]

that thing is like a skateboard

[@pasqualesiviglia9137]

How much runtime does the stock battery have ?

[@MrDngrsdave]

I have always wanted an infraction.. but I can't justify $1300aud for an on-street basher. I'm so happy they came out with a mega version for so much cheaper! I will wait to see if they come out with some newer versions before I buy

I know this has nothing to do with this video but I'm really hoping you can answer my question. I posted this on another video of yours from September with the Typhon TLR but I'm just wondering if when you replaced your TLR hinge pins with RC8 hinge pins if you had to modify them in anyway or if they fit well enough out the bag? Sorry if this is stupid but I'm only 20 days old into the hobby and could really use an answer to this question. Thank you RCDRIVER and awesome content!

The RC8 pins were a direct fit, no mods. Welcome to the hobby!!

Agreed. I read the fine print under the 30mph logo on the box after the video. It says under optimum conditions. Which means do some tricks lol!

For tracking and racing that big oversized spoiler really makes a big difference though. No oversteer spinouts
