I have an infraction v1 that loses reception after a few feet. How do I fix that issue? Mine is one of the few that were sold when it first came out. I need help
Thanks a lot Rich for your time !! iam charging my batteries now for my first infraction run , i will definately be setting the brake to max . Awesome demo brother !
Thanks Mate! I adjusted the braking setting before I even took it out of the box. Excellent vid. Guys on a budget like me, really appreciate these car and money saving tips!
Just come back from the first run. I am so grateful. The carpark became smaller and smaller as my adrenaline grew,but my brand spanking new Infraction is still intact without damaging the splitter or the body because of good brakes andwatching your vids for driving techniques. Also Vas at Aussie Rc Playground was very helpful too. I cleaned it thoroughly even though i know it won't last. Kepp it up Rich, from Perth Australia.
Mine arrived today , I’ve been watching your infraction videos before I bought one and have taken on board all you have said ...would like to say thank you and it’s very informative and clear instructions ...have subscribed 👍👍👍👍
just upped my braking tonight rich first time ive done speed runs with the infraction and only on the stock gear and didn't realise till upto about 60mph how poor brakes are set standard what a difference at 50 percent great advice
@@DriftomaniacsRC 100% my friend just made a video uploading on my channel not taking credit tho mentioned you! Best advice I've seen on the car makes a super RC even better!! What do you think on the aero for top speed runs do you use standard diffuser fitting or did you chance for any the others?
Colin do this literally before you first run it, stock brake setting is awful, you and your cars front splitter will thank me! Also if you so much as tap the front splitter on a curb it falls off and pulls out the 5 small screws holding it on, don't expect to find them as none of us have, but DON'T be tempted to refix it on with longer screws, still use short ones as that way when you next kiss the curb the splitter will pop off again, but if you fix it on with long screws it will snap, or kink badly. Hope that helps. any questions on it shoot a message to 'drfitomaniacs' on facebook, happy to help.
I have one on order. I must say, even on 50% the braking is dismal. Virtually all of my other RC cars I need to reduce the braking because it will usually brake so hard out of the box that the car/truck will do a forward flip, or at the very least lock up the wheels and slide. Why does your Infraction only "just" barely slow down?
Epic video I didn’t know about this until I bought 1 first thing I did was adjusted the brakes due to this video thanks a lot happy bashing in the new year 👍
Used to own a traaxas stadium truck , was thinking of jumping back in debating weather to pick up an infraction or a Kraton ??? Any thoughts as to which is ome to pick up?
John a lot depends on where you're going to use it. I love the infraction to bits and I'd say get that BUT it's road focussed, whilst it'll tackle light gravel it's not designed to jump in anyway, however if you've a lot of blacktop around you to play with I'd say get the infraction. If you've mainly grassy areas near you then the Kraton is a better choice. But I'd go with the infraction everytime
@@DriftomaniacsRC really appreciate the input. And I live in the burbs outside nyc so thinking that might be the better route to travel as well. Thanks again love your vids. Very informative
@Driftomaniacs In a Felony video you mentioned that you have the Infraction ESC brake setting to 100% so did you up it some more after this video was made?
Parco no, but yes! Thing is both cars have the brake set as stock to 70-75% and this really isn't enough for the weight of the car. On the new Felony Transmitter you can increase or decrease the brake % on the fly BUT even with it turned up to 100%, the esc brake is only set on 75% as stock. So even though you think you're at 100% braking, the esc is in fact only set to 75%. Hope that makes sense? Hard to break it down.
Hey man, thanks for the video! I put several of your suggestions to work! Can you answer a question, any idea how I increase the breaking on a spektrum dx5c smart? I immediately bought the dx5 with the infraction so I have no plans on using the dx2e. Thanks again bud!!!
Not sure on how to increase the braking on the transmitter, just the esc, If you can adjust the braking on the dx5c then it should talk about it in the manual, or give horizon a call (but be prepared for an hours wait)
You are entirely correct the V2 has a different transmitter BUT you'll want to watch my video on what the one thing to do to an arrrma felony. As.... whilst you can control the brake from zero to 100% on the transmitter, the esc is set on just 75% braking so even with the control on the remote set on 100% reality is??? You've only 75% of the braking, which on a car of this weight simply isn't enough. So yes with the infraction V2 you still need to reprogram the esc, at least if you don't want to replace the splitter daily! Very good points you raise. Do check out the video I mention though!
@@DriftomaniacsRC So reading the manual for the version to infraction to factory default of the break strength is 75%. I just tried holding the set button while turning the ESC on and all it does is keep blinking red and never turns green. I tried to mimic exactly what you did in the video but it does not work on the version 2 But I went to the manual follow the directions I kept the breaking strength at 75%(factory setting) and changed the punch setting from Level 4 to level 5 and everything else I kept the same. From the factory it also states that reverse strength is 25% and the punch setting is set to level four.
Hi Rich, I love your videos, I"ve a little bit of problem understanding your accent but nevertheless I like them. Please make more on the Infraction I have several of the 6s Arrma cars but the Infraction is going to be my next. I haven't yet but I will very soon. If you can make a video where you explain in details how to use the hand brake to drift, there some that say it will brake the diffs, I don't know if you can make one on this subject you will be the first. Thank you!
I'm seeing about 300m. As for crossfire sorry never heard of it as I don't do fpv and that's a question for spektrum/horizon hobby who I'd ask. I think your chances of keeping this on the road with fpv at 80+ would be very very slim indeed
Depends on whether you're after all out speed or a very fast car that will be a lot more fun to drive. You can probably get the XO1 to be faster overall and be more stable on high speed runs, but the infraction is more fun to drive (I've owned an XO1 before) but it will be less stable at high speed, that said the infraction is way, way more fun to drive as you can literally get the tires to smoke when drifting!
@@DriftomaniacsRC ....I looking for car to max 50 60 mph .....car park play. Not necessary high speed. I bit worry with arrma because it's very low and parts available in uk. ( thank you for your time!!!)
Hey Richie, I fairly recently purchased a lightly used Losi Super Rock Rey. The previous owner didn't give me the manual with it, which I didn't notice till I got it home. It has pretty bad braking as well. It isn't quite as bad as the Arrma infraction braking looks but is still bad none the less. Is it safe to assume that the same method you used on the Arrma is identical to the Rock Rey. I know Horizon hobbies has the manual for download but I can't seem to get it to work. Probably doesn't help my only "computer" is the one I got in my hand, my cellphone. The weird thing is I downloaded the one for the 1/10 Rock Rey just to see if it was just the phone, but it downloaded just fine. I emailed Horizon hobbies to see if I could order or even purchase a paper copy, and they said they don't have any. Any help, even from subscribers, would be highly appreciated.
The Super Rock Rey should be the same as the losi DB XL-E I think (I've got that as well as the SRR). I can look in the morning. Send me a pm to the driftomaniacs facebook page and I'll see if I can scan in the page from the manaul you need
Hey Rich... Great video and very easy to understand for a noob like me... I already fucked my splitter once because the braking was appaling! Now up’d it to 50%... Thanks again man! Keep making tutorials like this!

definately be setting the brake to max . Awesome demo brother !
I just finished my first Infraction run and I can definitely say you are correct about the braking needs to be set higher.
I just got mine yesterday. What a beautiful truck to look at. My maxx, and 6x6 Benz looks outdated lol ..thanks mate for this vid
Been wanting to do the brakes since I got mine. You've made it so simple I now have no excuse. Thanks!
Yea, good idea about the brakes. Thanx again for that heads-up, it's much appreciated. This thing is a freakin BEAST!!!

Fantastic Tip and How to video, it works alot better, I'll share this with a friend who has just bought this, thanks for the info Richie Boy 👍😁👍
Tonys Rc Tech thanks again tony for the heads up 😉👍🏽
Another great video - this is why I watch you, straight to the point, great technical explanation, and demo of changes.
Love that punch setting beeping... means your about to go bashing! Great video yet again keep it up!
Mines won’t go green it just keeps blinking red
Thanks running my Limitless for the 1st time today. 1st thought brakes are horrible. Looked this up and bam better.
Glad I could help
Nice tip Richie! Thanks for sharing.
just upped my braking tonight rich first time ive done speed runs with the infraction and only on the stock gear and didn't realise till upto about 60mph how poor brakes are set standard what a difference at 50 percent great advice
Glad you did the mod! It literally can be the difference between a 'save' and a big hit.

Thanks for the great information I set the brake at 50% now it stops alot faster .
Thanks for the clear vid men! I was running it the first time without the braking and without expo on the steering hahah you should have seen me :)
stock braking = terror! Glad you got it sorted. just been working on twin motor 16s conversion on mine this evening....
Good to know Richie Boy
Thank you! Will definately be doing this to mine on christmas day

@@DriftomaniacsRC will do. thank you for the information
Thanks for sharing brother 👍
awesome tips,love the truck
Is that the same thing I do with my 3s infraction blx cheers RAJ
Thanks for the tutorial pal , seems easy enough now thanks to you 😉👍🏽
You are the best bro..
Thanks for the video
Just wanna share it works the same way on the ARRMA MOJAVE 6S. Literally identical
Thanks for your help there Richie
it's the difference between a glancing blow off a curb or a $200 smash! Easy to do, and hope it helps.
Any way to move e brake to front.to be able to do holeshots
Very clear and an excellent tip my friend x

I had two when this was filmed this one may have been the 8s one, although I've modified that one to run on twin 8s motors and esc's
Absolutely great 👍 tip !! Should’ve came stock with the 50%.!!!

Hello, Richie. Do you kwon if KYOSHO is coming out with a 6S 1/8 scale road car? I have the 2018 KYOSHO DEMON now. Thanks in advance.
Great video... thank you very much.... no it was a piece of cake to ajust the brake.
It has the hand brake to take up rest of brake needed
Thanks a lot for the video my man!
Great tidbit of info Richie 👍👍 We've all seen Speed from the Infractions Power but now we know how to make it stop ✌️😎👍 HFLPRCing
Dope shit bro 👍🏾👍🏾✊🏿🤜🏿🤛🏻

John a lot depends on where you're going to use it. I love the infraction to bits and I'd say get that BUT it's road focussed, whilst it'll tackle light gravel it's not designed to jump in anyway, however if you've a lot of blacktop around you to play with I'd say get the infraction.

What about the V2? It has a different transmitter correct? And a separate brake setting on there. Does the esc need a second programming of this?
You are entirely correct the V2 has a different transmitter BUT you'll want to watch my video on what the one thing to do to an arrrma felony.

Yeah brakes @37 is not enough I Almost destroyed mine first outing
Your house.... 😍😍😍
"more fun than u can shake a stick at!" lol what does that even mean Rich?
Google it?
I think back in the day people used to shake sticks at things in large quantities 😂🤷♂️
My arrma doesn’t stop how does the app work on your phone
It’s really great truck not bad at 93 mil out of the box
the arrma V1 infraction doesn't have an app, watch the video again....Nothing in this video mentions an app, so we're very confused
After binding and trying to calibration the front tires shift back and fourth by it’s self HELP please
👍🏼
they set it that way on purpose. more crashes = more fixes needed.
I can’t help thinking you’re right on that one! Bit like selling 500bhp car with drum brakes
