- Buy an ARRMA Infraction: bit.ly/ARRMA-Infraction
I'm having so much fun with the ARRMA Infraction. This is the on-road car I've wanted. I've tried several others, but this is on the top of the list for me. I've stuck with the stock pinion to this point because it allows me to quick start and stop it and run in tighter areas.
But it's really hot and humid here in southeastern Virginia in the summer and without any venting in the ARRMA Infractions body, it's getting really hot in there. :)
I'm planning to cut a few vents in the body, but after I try a few speed runs with it. I'm not a speed guy, so I got it to street bash with and want the performance of the ESC and Motor to run cooler when I'm doing burnouts and running full throttle.
An easy solution for motor temps is to run a heatsink and fans. The Yeah Racing dual fan heat sink is east to install and should provide lower temps. I'll be checking the temps with the fans on and off to see what difference . we can see.

Always a pleasure to watch brother! Definitely a good way to lengthen the life of the motor.

Hey bro, I would bash it like you do. I’m a off-road guy too. Early in the live stream I said it’s a speed rig but what I did say was you can build it to bash. And here you are already building it up into a reliable Basher. Very nice 👍 Bro!
Another great video brother!
Thanks for the video I’m going to try this fan my stock fan went out and I like to have fun with this truck and not just race it strait
👍Nice , The fan sinks work great. I put a cheap fan mount on my brushless converted arrma granite 4x4 I did and it was running 149 deg on 2S without it and on 3s it ran like 30 or 40 deg cooler!
I fried front bearing. On that sucker its a bitch t o change
Very nice upgrade. Pretty easy install!
Thanks man. It was very easy to install. Got the wiring kit in the mail on Saturday.
Great video and that truck is awesome.
Good info. Looks good installed
I have this heatsink on my hyper St 👍
Tip, I use those fans on all of my RC’s and thy are excellent for cooling, also you my try drilling a few holes in the back window and on the front grill.
I didn't need the jumper cable for when I installed the dual fans, not sure if you are using the other ports on your receiver already. Also I opted to use those included spacers to give the heatsink room to breath and to allow the fans to distribute cold air better.
Nice fans I just picked up dual fans for my 3s arrmas be testing this weekend
Good deal!
The back heat sink piece slides underneath the motor with next to no effort at all, just fyi took like 5 seconds when i put this exact setup on my infraction.
My Erevo was running hot after I added the mesh shroud. I live in Arizona and it’s hot. Got the same fans you have and no issues.
That’s awesome
Both of my YR 1/8 fans on my arrma typhon the wires fell off, anyone have experience soldering them back on?
#CCxRC - Thanks for the video brother!! I am running the same fans on my #v3 #KRATON! Any reason why you did not use the little tiny spacers so the fans sit off the heat sink and the motor a bit?
Good info Tony,,,keep Bashing it,,,, wohooo🤙👍
What about cutting out the windows or some scoops on the front hood.
I think that’ll do wonders for temps. May create lift if not vented in the rear as week for air to escape...and still may create lift. That’ll be part of the testing
Nice fans ton
Have spent a lot of money at this place lately. Guess I'll be purchasing for my Limitless and Infraction. Maybe my Kratons too
I am also from the VA area and I was having problems with my e buggy overheating so I vented it like the nitro buggies and the temps dropped considerably from around 190f to 140f. If I were you I would use your circle cutter to cut a hole in the windshield and maybe put some sort of box under the esc to raise it a bit closer to the hole so that it can pull more fresh air. It's not like you are jumping the truck.
Not a bad suggestion. It will change the lift at high speed, which is why I’m waiting until I can find a location to do a high speed test with speedometer. Only plan to do it once as I want it more for street bashing
Hello, i have the same fan and i was wondering, is better to blow the wind on the motor, or blow the hot air outside ?
Thank you!
Can you give me the name or part number the the connector that you used I have a Mojave I need to install the fans to
Mr.CCxRC, Where in VA? I lived in Fredericksburg and Spotsy back in my youth. Miss it.
I live in Hampton Roads in Chesapeake.
@@CCxRC cool my brother lives in Smithfield. Home of the ham.
I’ve had good luck with yeah racing high speed cooling fans
How you plug it to esc, there is no empty Socket?
Rakan Bilbeisi I plug it in to receive you nee a 3 Chanel
Rakan Bilbeisi you plug the Fan in to the reciver if Their is no more space you need a reciver with more channels
I feel ya on heat and humidity ! I live in Florida and haven't had a shutdown yet! But I'm sure it gonna happen!. gonna get one for my infraction. I have the same problem! First run and ripped two out as well!
What did you rip out?
@@CCxRC two screws ripped out of the bottom front wing on the infraction ! I called horizon hobby and notified them on the problem and told them they need to recess the screws to keep this from happening to others and also addressed the top cover rubbing the wheels! The top sits to far foward and the Fenders rub on the tires tearing them ! Im gonna have to trim it out a little to keep my tires from getting ate up!
Wow. That’s awesome that you haven’t shutdown. Are you keeping it wide open without any lower throttle or stopping? Another person I talked to said they were shutting down too. I’ve been ok when I’ve been running on dirt and not able to full throttle the entire time. But every run where I speed down and back into a donut series and then repeat over and over....it shuts down around 3 minutes. All filmed. I also shutdown on the oval on my second battery set when I tried staying on power the whole time. I slowed into the corners and then full throttle drifted through and out. Have video of that shutdown too
Were can I get a fan jumper for arrma kraton 6s blx
These motors on these cars can get hotter than a hooker on a Saturday night lol!! I put a pair of heatsinks on mine, I have the Arrma Typhon 6S, same motor I think, can't remember. It helps a bit.
I have her geared up pretty high, 26T pinion & stock spur. Had to modify the motor mount bracket to fit the larger pinion. But on 6S, I was bashing & speed running her for quite a while this week past weekend & she was fine, a bit toasty but still running. I do have a Castle Mamba Monster 2 ESC in her, but I can get about half hour of bashing with no cutoff. I'm using a CNHL G+Plus 6000mah 6S battery. Granted, here in CT the weather is still mild.
Oh, and I totally recommend with these powerful Arrma car that you get ceramic or at least hybrid ceramic bearings. Because the stock bearings are not the greatest & they too will contribute to heating issues with the car. I even replaced the motor bearings with ceramic ones.The difference is literally night & day!! The stock bearings didn't even last me a month before they were grinding. And everything was stock at the time.
I love my Typhon 6S, hoping to grab a felony next. Arrma Rocks 😎
Thanks for the vid 👍👍
WOW those Venom LiPo's are awesome. 10500mAh 50C!!! That's massive. What run times are you getting with them? I get 18min with my Ovonics 8000mAh 50C ones.
I never hit the lipo cut off on them. I always cut it short to not overheat the infraction
How bout plumbing a tube from the front to right above the fans. Cool air intake. It won't help on donuts but will on throttling down.
Those YR heat sink and fans are the same model of the Powerhobby heat sink and although they do reduce the heat they could be way better. The fans are just too close and get "choked". I made a 3D printed manifold for it, it allows for better "breathing room" for the fans so you get better air flow and it also directs some of the air down over the sides as well. After running it my temps have fallen further even with a larger pinion. If you would like to check it out head over to the thingiverse website and put 4750717 into the search bar. It's the number for the manifold page if you wish to check it out.
How will this help the thermal cutoff? The ESC temp is what causes the cutoff, not the motor. Get a Hobbywing Max 6 and it will work.
The main goal here was to cool the motor as it was too hot as well. The main thing was to just stop doing full throttle burnouts non-stop or do them on a lower pinion. I dropped it to 16T and was fine. It wasn’t speed runs that was overheating, and I didn’t need the stock pinion to do street bashing.
U gonna love those fans. If u gonna do heavy street bashes I highly recommend. Man those fans sound like Jets. Problem with the stock esc fans is that fan size is 35x35x10 there's no aftermarket upgrade fans for the esc. Sucks they got fasters fans for 30x30x10 that u have for the motor . They also have size 40. so I'm still in the search for a more powerful fans for my blx185/hobbywing quickrun
Thank BigKal! I’ve used fans and heatsinks before to reduce temps an know they work, but hadn’t tried this one yet. I really like how it straps around the motor
@@CCxRC u love it. If the fans go out u can get the wtf fans if u ever change esc or get a external Bec run 7.4 volts the wtf fans blow like a jet for real. The blx 185 esc only runs 6.0 volts. But don't think u need blow that fast anyway lmao 😂
@@KalsRcAdventures I'm late but the ''WTF'' wild turbo fans 30mm or 40mm are the fastest fans out and blow huge air
Can I put these fans on my Limitless?
fantastic
Another good tip that I can give you is getting some thermal paste for a computer CPU and applying it to the heatsink. With thermal paste, the heatsink will work much better like 20f better. I use thermal paste on all of my heatsinks and I promise you that it helps.
20F is a big deal!
That is a good tip, but I use Arctic Thermal Pads as they are less messy to place onto the heatsink. I bought the 70 x 70 x 1.5 pad on eBay. Link is here but you can buy on eBay. www.arctic.ac/worldwide_en/thermal-pad.html
Great idea!
Where can I buy one of these
Is this Virginia Beach?!
Where are u in VA that where I'm from. Mike big man at Richmond store are really good he did my limitless. That thing stay running hot even with dual fans.
I'm in Chesapeake.
what motors will this fit on?
You’d think a brand like Arrma with all its experience in RC’s would of done more than enough extensive testing to ensure the motor didnt over heat so early on , yes I understand any motor can over heat if abused but for £600 I’d expect it to take a good beating and if anything adleast provide a heat sink with fans to prevent anything like this happening.
I agree my point exactly 👍👌
can i upgrade wltoys a959
Best twin fan ever got 1 on my emaxx
NIce one Tony. I picked up a few y splitters for my fans off Banggood. I wanted a fan on my Granite BLX so it worked perfectly. Can't wait to see more videos of the Infraction. Cheers man
How did they work out?
Did the ESC.get hot to an do they have a fan that will Fit the ESC I been out of the hobby for over 15 years and I'm getting back in it when I saw this truck I ordered the truck it hasn't come yet still waiting And I have been thinking about a fan for the ESC
It does have a fan on the ESC. I think vent holes in the body will end up doing the most for it. I don’t run it for just getting top speed and stopping to check, so I’ll have to set it up different then others will. I do want to see what speed it will get with stock gears, then will work to set it up for street bashing
How are you going to prevent the thermal shutdown? And how do you know it’s doing that?
I did a video showing it happen and temp gunned it.
I run this twin fan setup on my Kraton and man do those fans shift a lot of air, it will sound like a jet engine when you start it up
Great tips and video as always thanks for posting I have a v4 outcast would you recommend this same fan any advice is greatly appreciated thanks
You’d need to get a version for 1/10 scale motors. But heartsick and fans are useful if your motor is getting real hot.
No v4 is same motor yes those be excellent i need embtoo
@@CCxRC v4 Tony not 4s
Sorry if im trolling jus helping out lookn foward infraction i knew or figured heat be problembw all our arrmas geared high onece summer and high humidity came these things with thick truck bodies w tight fit finish would suffer from no air moving through , that one commentor very smart and is right on about weight and other tips
Oh!. Read that wrong. Couldn’t have been a more confusing then to release the 4s and V4 at the same time. Thanks for catching that Paul.
Just watched the video and was wondering if the batteries play role on temp. as they are huge...?
The weight could, but this is the first time I’ve ran them...all other shut offs were with batteries that look tiny in the truck.
@@CCxRC I see..
I replaced stock esc fan with a rocket aluminum 35mm fan
Gearing is the way to handle temp issues.Drop pinion toooth count by one or two teeth should do the trick.
That is an option, but it’s built for speed, so it’s not my first choice for this
Your car is way too heavy with that setup. Lipos with cabels are around 1,5kg. My cars are heavily modifiend, and when I add Gopro with hard case(under the wing, no aero effects) I can see changes in logs on ESC. Especially when doing hard drag runs. Drop some 700 grams, and temps will drop. Great truck and great job! Have fun!
Before this run I used small 5000 mah 3s batteries, but same problem. At Horizon RC Fest they had huge batteries in the demo truck they ran, so I ordered some to test as I was getting short runs.
Still trying to get it all sorted.
There is a good point in a big battery too. Less voltage drop, less ripple, less current for same power, results in less heat. So, high quality 5000-6000 mah LiPo would be sweet spot. I use Graphene Panther with a very good results. Another point, you addressed in video is air circulation. There must be clear in/out path for heat to leave as fast as possible. One more thing i use YR heat sink too, but when mounting heat sink you mustt use thermal tape, for transfering the heat from motor can to heat sink, it makes all the difference in the world.
Branimir Tosic thanks for the tips! I do have 5000mah Graphene batteries to try as well. Just had to change the connectors on them. I’ll get some thermal tape for the heat sink.
@@CCxRC It's my pleasure.
@@CCxRC those are some good tips 💪👍👍👍👍👍
Where did you pick up that arrma shirt it's cool
You can get them from Horizonhobby.com and other stores. Google ARRMA shirt and you’ll see the options for stores
@@CCxRC cool thanks man I have to say I'm turning into an Arma fanboy every time I take my granite BLX to the BMX jumps and it doesn't break I'm just amazed
Got mine from Hobbytown USA here in town when I put money down on my Infraction.
I think they need to fit this as standard.
Everyone runs differently. Because I want to run mine hard, it's up to me to set it up for that. THey are trying to keep prices low and let people add the hop-ups they want. Some people may buy and immediately swap out the electronics and motor...and wouldn't want to pay extra for more parts they'd be ditching. Companies are in a tricky position with how much to add or leave to the buyer to choose to add.
@@CCxRC I can understand what you are saying with costs but cutting out after 3 mins hard driving on tarmac not good. I can understand if a truck was on grass as that does cause extra heat. Then why not do a roller chassis for the ones who like there own electrics as they would make more money and the buy will save in the long run.
Also hotter a e motor gets the more amps you will draw producing more heat , freeze that sucker with a upside dust can if all else fails lol
Risky... very rapid temperature change from liquified gas quenching can cause damage to solid state magnets, some plastics, and over-hardenened metals... I wouldn't suggest spraying it from very close .
@@battnotinclud good to know i seen guy on TH-cam do it i thought was smart but couldnt be good i just got inf.it does get hot but we are in mid summer
@@paulclancy2404 I seen that video. That guy sprayed it before he ran it so it wouldn't get as hot after a couple of passes
I cant wait to get that truck! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Put some Ice Packs on there lol!
That’s a killer idea!
@@CCxRC lol
maybe an extra Bec an a big one thrue the battery cable It eliminates cooging and helps it run cooler or maybe a couple extra fans Im always outting big ones made by Navak brushless power caps castle creations 20 amp compactors I think it helps esc an makes them helps run cooler I always use a fan also so .
What kind of run time are you getting out of the 6s set up?
Depends on your trigger sir. Once u go 6s u never forget 💪
So far I have only got more then 3-4 minutes if I run it on a small track and not wide open or doing donuts. Keeps shutting down on me from overheating. That’s what this whole video is about as I’m trying to get it to run cooler and not shutdown
I wish you would have shown us if those fans help at all.🤗
I put fans and heatsinks on my RC motor and esc and it made a big difference brother,well worth the money. I bought the some cheap ones and they work great.
Future video.
Running these fans on a kraton, do long speed runs, ..,21/50 right now @ 74 mph . Wire broke at fan motor, and now had one fry.. seem cheap to me ..
What part of va??? Do u know of any rc events?
I'm in Hampton Roads. The Hobbytown stores down here hold drifting events, crawling, monster truck racing, Mini-z Racing etc
Or you can run the new #GameChangerRC fan called the "IMPERVIOUS" which is super powerful and you will only need to run 1 fan. Plus, they connect right to your Balancing plug on your lipos.
Were you bought that t shirt
Horizon Hobby has them in their online store. Others have it if they don’t have your size. Google “Arrma shirts” and you’ll see who has it.
How are the tires lasting ?
Surprisingly well considering the amount of burnouts I’ve done. The fronts still look pretty new. Going to rotate them now to hold onto what is left of the tears.
CCxRC sweet !!!! So I should get a few burnouts out of them 🤙🏼
You should of put lock tight on them screws
put a smaller pinion on it
👍🏼
All he had to do is loosen the five screws at the bottom of the chassis and it would have slid right under it. I run these fans on everything
Hot motor sucks power like no tomorrow same with your house utilities newers acs have a slinger on fan throws water on condenser coil this coil being cooler saves you tremendously, problem is ac only last couple years where old one sucked juice last forever ik nothing do with rc but kinda giving us all better understanding how bash longer wo burning out our rigs😃 good buy love using fans i might make body for fun w all all pc fans gotten from recycling, if we had fan on rear truck as exhaust and vent in front you pick heat up exhaust out back but could just get more powerful set up so not such a strain but what fun is that right plus better set up very expensive
Yes. This will definitely help require the power draw from the ESC which should also help it run cooler. I’ll test with fans disconnected to show heat and then with the fans on.
Cool beans goin watch yt in frew
Do you miss debbies
Sure do, but our Hobbytown is great as well
Always a good idea
It takes two screws to remove the motor, but that would be the easy way to install it n thats no fun LOL
Hey we have the same hex drivers, I still havent bit the bullet n got MIP like I want but these r not too bad
Same here. Want the mop fir my electric driver. Did you see Driftomaniacs try to remove those 2 screws on his Arrma? I think I chose the easy way. 😂
Humid air transfers heat better, just saying
The motor not as hot should help esc too
Yes. It will provide is some relief
sooo many factors make heat, GEARING, burnouts, constant full throttle, weather, batteries. 😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree. I've been saying that in all the videos. It turned out that it was really the full-on driving style. I have a video showing it happen.
These teucks are a rather large outlay for me..
Having to buy additional mods to prevent it from over heating is a turn off at this price point😑
do it once do it right
That's right, say that name "TRAXXAS"..... I'm new to the game and blame it on the Traxxas BIGFOOT, now I'm going to be going broke !
Haha. I'm for innovation in RC. I have several Traxxas vehicles and like you started with a 2WD stampede. FOr me it was a Grave Digger
