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.
I have both. It's true.
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!!!
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!
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!
I might buy this next spring. Looks like an awesome vehicle. Thanks for the great showcase.
Recently started to watch your channel and I could honestly say I enjoy them. So your now part of my favorite three, you know who the other two are LOL.
So happy to have such a great RC community here. Thank you for being a part of it!
Awesome street basher. Got one with different color. Love it to bits. Well worth every penny.
nice car and nice test parking lot, thanks for the video
That parking lot has some fun speed traps! Great vid!
Now THAT looks like a lot of fun! Have to admit, my wish list is getting a bit long these days! :) Trying to finish off my Traxxas list before getting the Arrma list started! Thanks for all you do my friend, it's well appreciated!
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 🤘🏽
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...
Should be a short list... 😉
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.
Awesome! Glad to hear you like it!
Nice and tuff rig. It took that curb hit like a champ!
Makes me want to give Arrma another go! Looks and sounds awesome!
I like it Greg. Will have to put this one on the wish list.
Like button energized.
Wow really smooth
This thing is sick
Love the wheels and body combo
this bad boy moves, holy
Cool running, Dude!! Now I definitely want one!!!
Thanks bud!
Wow dude, that's one fun looking machine ❤️
Picking one up tomorrow morning
Hello from southeast alaska that truck looks sick bro
I love beans. And this things got BEANS.!
Wow I’m impressed don’t have an Arrma yet this is gonna be my first one!… What a day n age we live so many cool RC’s to choose from it’s mind boggling!…
Yup, certainly not easy. But for a road machine, this is a great choice.
Nice video bro! Love this rc car
That thing is awesome I think I want to pick one up
Man these are cool, but I’m overloaded with Arrma stuff! Nice Video!
Yeah, Arrma has been busy. Lots of cool stuff coming from their camp!
great video, nice truck
Thank you!
epic!!
pretty amazing video :)
I need on road car, I like this one but If I have a budget I will buy the 6s one.
Very niceeeee
Very nice truck but needs a big space to run
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🔵🔵🔵
Gad damn i gotta get me one of those!
It's pretty awesome... it needs lights REALLY BAD!!
And now... where can I find one? 🤔
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.
I’d love that Gold & Black body for my 6S . I’ve got the Silver and the dark blue but a black & Gold one would look god damn sexy
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.
I think the 6s version is a lot bigger so the body wont fit the 3s
You can use a Infraction Mega body on the BLX. The 6S is larger and will not fit.
Excellent review. My only concern about these types of cars is the extreme tyre wear and the expensive replacements.
Thanks! Yes definitely stay away from ripping donuts with this car.
Like a real full sized car 😂
It's cool~ It's also fast~~^^
That it is!
Morning time Bobby from SC . I think you said it has a 120AMP ESC . Can you a 4S battery ? Excellent job really enjoy your CZcams site too.
Thanks
Bobby
Such a versatile car, do you reckon it could be turned into a drift car with some slicks??
I sold my 6s infraction. So I think I need this one.
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.
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.
@@fozzy7199 The 6s Typhon makes a killer street rig when set up right and is decently priced if you are looking into more budget friendly alternatives to the infraction
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.
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🤣
@@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.
look honey, our big boy is playing in the yard
Hello, comparison and opinions about hpi wr8 flux? Thank you
Do you recommend this Arrme despite the plastic elements?
Which battery did you use ?
Love the truck but it doesn’t do well with straight line speed runs! It’s all over the place!! Even with turning the SR wonder how to fix that! Any ideas?
Seems to drift a lot. What would be your best choice for a rc car/truck designed to stick on the road?
Will it handle a 4s or 6s power systems for just speed runs?
the difuzers are very good put ,it should have been nice to ajust camber but i don t see that bars ajustable overall is a good rig
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.
Vendetta didn't really do anything for me but this has really peaked my interest!
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!
Yeah, Vendetta is tempting (especially at the current $100 off), but this does look more versatile.
If this and vendetta have the same driveline and everything do they drive the same?
Nice. I love arrma. I still have my granite blx and have quite a few upgrades like 4s and she is a beast. I would love to get this however my issue is the cost of the tires. To replace them here in Canada I am looking at 100$ and that is insane and a rip off in my opinion
The one you calling the mega that’s not the 6S one is it ??
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?
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!
It's a great looking car. It looks like a lot of fun. I was wondering if it has the Spektrum AVC system? Thanks.
Yes it does.
@@rcdriver I think that is a good idea for a car with all the power. It would definitely help drivers like myself.
@@michaeldorich4485 It does work really well in this car.
Helpful tip if you want some good opening shots with less shake use slo-mo and it will look good
I usually do. Just didn’t feel like it here. Creative choices. 😂
Very cool video. Would u say it’s drivewise like the vendetta or is there a noticeable difference between those two ?
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.
@@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.
Are the tires gonna last longer than say the 6S version?
i just got the rc bug, im new. Is this a good beginner car if money isn't an issue?
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
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
I do that on my 2wd slash 7700 KV Castle copperhead 10 combo 3s
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
thanks for the tip just ordered some
I’ve got one of these absolutely love it I’m running it on a gens ace 8000mah 100c how are you getting it to power slide and donut mine just seems to have so much grip and seems to stop when I try
SURFACE TOO CLEAN ... TAKE IT TO THE BASEBALL DIAMOND...
Can you fit the Mega's body and tires on it?
How does this compare to the traxxas 4tec 2.0 vxl?
Sounds like they fixed the ring/pinion gear mesh issue..The mega and vendetta had that loud gear noise
There was a touch of noise for the first minute or two with the car. But everything broke in nicely and it had that perfect driveline sound enthusiasts love. Had a real blast with the car. Thanks for watching brother!
@@rcdriver Nice! Im glad it worked in..Arrma seems to keep their eye on problems and takes care of them..Another great review brother!
@hatchlord Many people with the mega and vendetta had same issue..Glad you got it straightened out
YAY! I made the 750th like!
Did you increase the punch !!! Yet
Can you run 2s on this?
This one has the burnout option?? What cars have it Fireteam and infraction has a hold button for burnouts?? Please correct me if I'm wrong in searching Hi and low for a car that can do that. Hold a break, burn rubber like real race car really cool feature just gotta find it lol
TRAXXAS DRAGSTER...
Hello, I know they are not the same but which one would you buy? the losi baja rey 1/10 or the infraction 3s blx? Thank you
Can’t go wrong with either. Personally I’d go with the Baja Rey because you can jump that… farther 😆
What kind of body is on your Granite project you mention at the beginning of the video? It looks fairly narrow and I think it might work well on a Big Rock.
It’s the Proline Early 50's Chevy Tough-Color Gray Body.
It’s the Proline Early 50's Chevy Tough-Color Gray Body.
More for the all road off-road tires.
Uggh do I get this or a used Infraction 6S
😀i HAVE ONE NOTHING BUT FUN!!
I enjoy your reviews just fyi its a anti-sway bar you dont want something that makes it sway lol I know everyone says it wrong its anti-sway :)
Rlaarlo Compared to this truck?
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.
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.
bro the song if fire can i get the name?
When will arrma make something funky and funny like tamiya ? Tough and funny would be epic.
Graig, my wallet is begging you for a break! Great review🤘
I haven't watched the whole video yet but what are the main differences between this at $400 and the Vendetta at $300?
Vendetta ain't 300 it's on sale
no differences. Body, Frontbumper...
Vendetta is typically $400, it’s just on sale now for $300. Few changes between the two, but to me the Infraction has better all around drivability.
1/7 ou 1/8 ?
😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
With the speed gear it’ll run 74mph box stock lol
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.
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 :)
There's no sound :(
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?
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..
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.
@@Fpsnut I have a typhon mega I converted to 3s which I love... I didn't have options for any 3s vehicles bcos it was the start of covid
Makes a change from most LHS's ass kissing Traxxas and limiting our right to choose
Can the steel diffs from the 4s cars go into this 3s?
