Good runs even with all the issues, someone else would have called it quits, thank you for your determination on getting it done and showing us. Regards Earl and always God bless American 🇺🇲
Damn that was a nice pass, I definitely think the body is fighting you for sure. Can't wait to see you hit 100 and love to see someone who loves our flag, God bless America 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
The wind might of been messing with the signal might have to put the antenna wire in a plastic tube and put it thur the body. I'm glad the truck didn't flatten it. Nice run ,89 mph you might get it faster yet. Nice video!
I bought one of these on sale in a scratch & dent sale for 160$. Put a castle 2400kv motor, 130amp Spektrum ESC a new 6 channel receiver, drive shaft support, 50t spur and 19r pinion. I was able to hit right around 55mph or so. It’s a fun truck, I’m mainly using it for drifting though. I’ll grab a bigger pinion and see what I can squeeze out of it. On 4s it drifts awesomely, but gotta be careful or you’ll destroy the motor mount or axles.
You could prolly squeeze more out of the 4s hd slipper assembly in the 3s blx housing. Ive had good experiences with my senton 4x4 build handles the abuse very well.
Once again earl thanks for this video I personally haven’t decided btwn the vendetta and infraction until this video the vendetta in my opinion is just a better value for speed running u get a higher kv motor better receiver and radio and just with an esc change I have a chance to hit 104 vendetta for the win
I agree there really two different rc with all the parts to get it close to the same rc the vendetta is a better value even at the additional cost it’s cheaper in the long run specially with Jenny rc ESC take off parts way better to hit 100 mph 🔥🔥👍👍
Are the differentials the same teeth count. The Typhon blx and Typhon Mega have different tooth count on the diffs. Mega diff is 49T and blx is 37T Mega input gear is 17T - blx is 13T That could be the difference not just aerodynamics. Fantastic watching you earl hooe your keeping well.
84mph was my guess🤔. I do like the look, as one of my favourite rc's is its big brother. That's the only problem converting from brushed to brushless it always ends up being more expensive than buying brushless to start with😐. Part of the enjoyment is converting/experimenting👍👍
I think you maxed out the Infraction it was never intended for speed runs more drifting around a bit slight bash etc. I think what’s holding it up is the drive ratios inside the diffs gearing but that’s just a guess. Great videos as always brother yeah the wind sucks when it’s blowing like crazy, like that here all the time. Much love and best wishes brother 👊
I have the vendetta and was going to use a 4s 2400kv motor that I have and was wondering if a 34t pinion would fit in the stock housing? I’ve been using a 32t and seemed like that was as large as I could go. What’s your opinion on the 2400 kv with the vendetta? Thanks Earl
✌🏻😎🏴I guessed 85mph & that was with the vendetta wheels on. I suck at guessing how fast something is going 😂. I’m kind of shocked the off-road wheels held up & went over my estimate. Both sets of those wheels are doing well from what I’ve seen so far. Arrma needs to release a BLX version now. I did hear that Arrma Maybe has another release coming out for Christmas. I hope it’s a BLX version & we Should also see a rally on this platform at some point. I know they have been working on a rally for years but it always gets pushed back for something else. It would take much to put one together for the 3S platforms.
Great for your first time out Earl!! I think that body it making a huge difference compared to the Vendetta. I think it will flip and fly before that body hits 100 mph. 💯💵💯💵💯 We will see for sure!! 😉 Keep on trying!!
I’ve had trouble with everyone of the spectrum dx2 and dx3 radios or the receivers one not wanting to connect to each other it takes them forever to connect when you first turn them on or go out of range.
Hello there !!!how did you fitted the motor pinion in the regular factory motor mount ?I just bought the mamba x monster 6s for it and even with the 28t wont fit in there...😬
Are you sure that is a 34 tooth pinion and not a 32? I didn’t think a 34 could fit on the motor plate. If it is a 34 can you attach the link to the one who purchased? Thanks again.
Everything Spectrum I've got is broken & it broke quickly too.! All 3 ESCs went bad the very first time I took them out in the wet & since I live in Scotland wet is all we get.! 2 transmitters steering return springs broke within a couple of months, 1 came out the box with a seized trim knob, followed by all 3 servos not long after.! I don't think the motors are terrible.. Not amazing, but not bad.. About as good as the Surpass 3660 KK series that I buy off Ebay for £15. I run Hobbywing SC8 ESCs in most of my 10th scale stuff (120A/4S for £40👍) & I know for a fact they can be fully submerged (for nearly 10 minutes while you frantically search through the heather for the stream you didn't bloody well know was just off the road you went tumbling off at about 60mph)😂 😂 😂 😜 Those red metal geared 25kg £10 DS servos serve me well & Dumbo RC radio gear do good duty too. My V1 Senton has been run to absolute death that way for nearly 2 years & I've only replaced 1 servo.!.. & a body.! So... I've replaced all the cheap crap being passed off as quality gear.... with quality gear being sold cheap.!!! 😜 LOL.!! Oh they'll replace it if you send it back right enough... But the problem with that is, THEY REPLACE IT WITH MORE BLOODY SPECTRUM CRAP.!!! 😜😂 😂 😂 😜 It's honestly not even worth the walk to the post office.! Arrma tough... Spectrum SH*T.!!! UTTER SH+T.!! IT'S AN INSULT.!! I only ever own Spectrum crap because it's what comes in the Arrma stuff... It was a pleasure to get my Limitless roller... I've fitted cheapish gear in it too & I'm more than happy.! Chears Earl, I love the channel mate, you're right up there at the top imho.!.. Keep on keeping on, stay safe out there & best wishes from Scotland 🏴 ❤️! 😜 👍 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚙 🚗 🚓 🚐 🚕.!
I have all spektrum 130amp 4s and constantly dealing with cut outs but every once in awhile ill get a perfect pass and reached 91mph with 28t pinion and 50t spur. Used high pinion and still wouldnt go faster than 91mph. Doing the mamba x next with another motor
Think the infraction all over the place cause the wing on the vendetta I'm thinking of getting scorched wing they jus came out with yes I'm talking the big infraction
Tire upgrade seems to be the biggest benefit on this platform now as there isn’t a tire in the factory size that holds up to achieve 140mph needs 17mm hexes to get there 🤔💯
Hey buddy, you gotta cut these videos down. Edit them into like half the time. It’s just too much nothing happening in the videos and I can’t squeeze in a half an hr for every video. I try to catch them all but I can’t always do 30 mins of nothing to watch them. There are lots of spots y oh could cut from your videos. Like instead of showing us “traffic” and you speaking to a guy, just mention it as your sending the car. Or not at all. Just trying to help you out, I think you can agree.
Good runs even with all the issues, someone else would have called it quits, thank you for your determination on getting it done and showing us. Regards Earl and always God bless American 🇺🇲
I have never seen a tumble weed outside of 80s/90s movies. Thank you.
Damn that was a nice pass, I definitely think the body is fighting you for sure. Can't wait to see you hit 100 and love to see someone who loves our flag, God bless America 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
American flag we celebrate 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 for sure 💯💯🔥🔥
Mr details got me watching his work while I'm on vacation. Lol
The little rc that could. Man, that’s scary if the radio is losing signal! Glad you got it sorted out! Those are respectable numbers.
Wzup Mr.Moorehead!!! Really windy today I see. Great 👍 runs with the rc's. Keep it going 💯💯💯
I did the 3s spektrum swap 20/50 gearing and my first runs infront of my house got me 61mph. Excited to do more.
The wind might of been messing with the signal might have to put the antenna wire in a plastic tube and put it thur the body. I'm glad the truck didn't flatten it. Nice run ,89 mph you might get it faster yet. Nice video!
Yup, I'll be upgrading mine's, with the vendetta package as well, i love that truck!!!
This build is getting so good (great speed run)!!!!👍this thing rips 😆
Thanks 🙏
So far its stayed planted be interesting to see how it does at higher speed. But impressive so far ..Arrma hit a good design.

The newest version of the mega should be same as the blx typhon 37t
Love the channel watch all the time I love r/c
Thanks 🙏
Awesome video definitely a wicked run
I guessed 91! Pretty close! I have the mega converted to mod1 34 spur 25 pinion. So far best is 75 and it blows over…. Work in progress!
Great first rip Earl!!! What about a castle 2650kv motor? Should be awesome 😎
To needs 3k kv or higher min would be a 3200 kv 👍👍intill smaller spur gear comes out 👍👍
84mph was my guess🤔. I do like the look, as one of my favourite rc's is its big brother. That's the only problem converting from brushed to brushless it always ends up being more expensive than buying brushless to start with😐. Part of the enjoyment is converting/experimenting👍👍

Much love and best wishes brother 👊
Nailed it. Great video Earl. God Bless you.
How Bout Using A 5s On The Infraction & Is There A Smaller Spur Gear They Sell For It Too? Maybe Like A 45 Or Lower..
Yes. Tape is the magic hack! My infraction doesn't go airborne anymore cuz I started doing this
I love your channel
Thanks 🙏
I have the vendetta and was going to use a 4s 2400kv motor that I have and was wondering if a 34t pinion would fit in the stock housing? I’ve been using a 32t and seemed like that was as large as I could go. What’s your opinion on the 2400 kv with the vendetta? Thanks Earl
The optional gear maxes out the gears in the vendetta
@@earlmoorhead5555 what 34t pinion gear did you use that fit?
i lost signal yesterday too it was a rainy day with alot of puddles. i got wet...
Just making it brushless is in my opinion what’s gonna make it a fun car to hit those corners…

I agree blx version be cool 🔥🔥👍👍
Higher KV motor or if you can add volts... like 5-6s or maybe HV lipos.
Great for your first time out Earl!! I think that body it making a huge difference compared to the Vendetta. I think it will flip and fly before that body hits 100 mph. 💯💵💯💵💯 We will see for sure!! 😉 Keep on trying!!
Yes 👍
You now i still in joyd the vid
Wow man. That was close.tumbke weed was cool. FAST..
hey earl great job love the video. are you going to use a 6s on this set up ? but would that be to much power? great job on the infraction mega.
Yes 👍 6 s for sure
I’ve had trouble with everyone of the spectrum dx2 and dx3 radios or the receivers one not wanting to connect to each other it takes them forever to connect when you first turn them on or go out of range.
Yes antenna need to be extended for sure
🤣😂🤣😂 NEW MODEL LIMITLESS MEGA
Idk RC guy maybe he knows something we don’t know lol 😂
The words out 👀😂😂
🤣🤣
What ended up happening with the radio cutting out what did you change you said you soldered a wire
I changed the radio to the vendetta set up
GUY!!!!! I TOTALLY CALLED IT👍💯👊
Nice 👍💪💪
Fastest I’ve seen is 90 mph Phillip jolly so far 👀😜😜
@@earlmoorhead5555 NOPE!!! Remember he went 133 🤣😂🤣😂
@@rcguygarage hahahahah yes fake news 👀😂😂
tell me why this area looks so familiar. you in central/northern California?
Santaclarita ca 👍
@@earlmoorhead5555 it looked familiar. Lol. I'm on the other side of the altimont in Modesto.
Hello there !!!how did you fitted the motor pinion in the regular factory motor mount ?I just bought the mamba x monster 6s for it and even with the 28t wont fit in there...😬
I showed the build I had to Dremel the mount to fit that big pinion everything else fits right in
@@earlmoorhead5555 oh ok my bad I will look for it right away thanks 😊
I did ran mine today with factory spur and 25t I hit 70mph and it just spit one of the front driveshaft axles twice 🤦♂️😪
Dang 😱sounds like your stopping to hard or pulling the trigger to hard should be smooth movements ⚠️⚠️
That might be the issue I don't have enough space where I ran today thank you for that !!!🦾
Are you sure that is a 34 tooth pinion and not a 32? I didn’t think a 34 could fit on the motor plate. If it is a 34 can you attach the link to the one who purchased? Thanks again.
I show how I cut the plate in the build video
@@earlmoorhead5555 OK I will have to take a look at that. Thanks.
@@earlmoorhead5555 what brand pinion gear did you use?
Earl I want to know if there is a chassis brace for the vendetta out there yet that you know of, thanks.
The Kraton 4s fits the vendetta and basherqueen sells the carbon version
@@earlmoorhead5555 Thanks a bunch!
Those transmitters can be a bit glitchy at times🤷♂️
Dang , I was thinking it would go about a 100 . But I'm not disappointed cause it went pretty fast even with all the traffic . Great video 👍
Thanks 🙏
71 mph not bad for the wind and all the traffic
Good run 💨💨💨💨
Everything Spectrum I've got is broken & it broke quickly too.!
All 3 ESCs went bad the very first time I took them out in the wet & since I live in Scotland wet is all we get.!

🔥😎castle motor nice.
Awesome video
Good idea to change transmitter
Yes 💯💯
So, Meaning With The 3200kv Motor Will The 34t, It Will Be Even FASTER, But It Will Make The Motor Even Twice As HOT?
Yes idk about twice but the temp will get hotter faster so check after each full trigger pull and set a temp cut
I thought it would get to 90mph on the first rip but do to the wind , on a calmer day it should hit 100 mph
I have all spektrum 130amp 4s and constantly dealing with cut outs but every once in awhile ill get a perfect pass and reached 91mph with 28t pinion and 50t spur. Used high pinion and still wouldnt go faster than 91mph. Doing the mamba x next with another motor
I had an strc2 that shitty one that I only got about 80 feet out of they replaced it with a sr6100 for me since I had a dx5c already
Maybe 90 on the first run on the infraction with the Change just maybe a little slower with the wind
Think the infraction all over the place cause the wing on the vendetta I'm thinking of getting scorched wing they jus came out with yes I'm talking the big infraction
Cool pedestrian, trying to help you..
I think you should take it back keep the vendetta
😎👌
I noticed on mine also, transmitter sucks
About 82-85mph
Pass was 86mph
Close
I got 76mph with a 3200kv on 3s. I'm gonna push 4s with same gearing and see what happens. Check the video brooo. Lol
Had a front spoiler and had went to the front you'll get over a 140nph
Tire upgrade seems to be the biggest benefit on this platform now as there isn’t a tire in the factory size that holds up to achieve 140mph needs 17mm hexes to get there 🤔💯

@@earlmoorhead5555 yes YES YOU DO😉
Could've caught that trash. Otherwise excellent video... thank you.
2200 kv will give you 100
2200 kv will strip the diffs 👀🤔
You might be right
@@zerrickdracing6784 the 1515 castle 2200 I run in my test limitless at 130 mph has a lot of kick to that motor 👍👍
It might work out if you start slow
But we talking about maybe 160 170 with that light car
