  • I wanted to see how hard it would be for arrma to build a 100 mph rtr speed car with product they already have ? Is it possible? And how good would it be ? All questions you’ll find the answer to here in this video & can we make it better then a traxxas XO-1 out of the box as traxxas fastest rtr is allready an old platform and the felony-limitless-infraction I feel is way better in today’s technology 🤔thanks for watching subscribe for more crazy build and running video

    I also think this is the best setup for a rtr Felony or Infraction.
    The XO-1 is much more difficult at high speed.
    This weekend I'm going to test 8s with a Max6 and the standard 2050kv BLX in the Infraction.
    Now I'm getting 94mph at 6s and a 29t pinion.
    Keep up the good job and greetings from the Netherlands.

    If you need more range keeping it all Spektrum you need the SR6110AT receiver you can BIND your stock transmitter or a DX5R transmitter it gives good range because of having a longer receiver aerial, I have tested it on my 30degrees North Super Desert Truck with the stock SR6100AT receiver then the one mentioned I could tell, straight away. So was it temprature or an range issue

      The caps take a second to fill and they won’t discharge intill needed under full trigger just the punch or hard hit the before you can fully come off trigger there full again it’s a ripple effect in voltage the caps stop from happening and it will protect the esc some voltage loss under these conditions 💯💯👍👍👍

    nice view where are you? So when you get the arma felon, you get it just like what we see here minus the extra mini battery pack? and.... it needs to be (setup) and go through all the steps you went through? Does it come with that small tuner or do we need to buy it and DO WE NEED IT to run this car out the box? Does it come with software and or any harness cables to do any programming if we dont have the mini programmer? Ive seen this car run different from this one ran on this video but that unboxing video didnt show anything about tune or program.... Im looking into buying another rc but instead of staying team associated Im looking at Arma's collection bcs team associated is bugg'n with their discontinued modles and parts availability. So what does it take to get this bad boy felon running right? Because not every Arma RTR kit is like that is it?

    Yea I keep seeing that esc has NO break. Much be bcs it’s meant to be paired with a lower KV motor with a smaller opinion which is a higher torque combo. If you put the 150amp esc on the Kraton motor and pinion the break would be soo strong the truck will do a front flip. My guess…

    • @toysforboysrc
      @toysforboysrc 2 роки тому

      Yea they cut off all the time, it’s only 10 more amps than the stock felon esc. It’s not designed for high amp rates , throttle nor brakes bcs it’s built to run with a lower kv motor. It might run better with the matching Kraton or outlast motor.
