Felony First Drive Impressions of My New Felony RC – It's a Blast!

[bladefan]

I LOVE THIS THING!!!!!

Drove it for the first time today. Maybe I Set up my Infraction poorly and it doesn’t handle well. But I love the way this thing drives. I probably ought to look at my infraction set up because it’s not as quick and handles similarly to the Felony.

I didn’t kiss any curbs. Not even a little. I had planned to do first drive somewhere wide open but ran out of time and just did it on my street. God I love how it looks and handles.

The only thing I did was add the scorched rc inner fenders

I think maybe one or two of the shocks may not be full. Doesn’t feel quite the same across their counter parts.

Also I think one of the motor screws holding it to the mount was loose cause it made a horrible noise 7 minutes in. I readjusted it and it sounds about what it sounded like when I first started.

Love

Cool man! I have an Infraction & I've only done the diff fluids. Super fast. Absolutely a riot! The Felony is a slick looking car!

there are some of us out there who love the felony! especially now that you can get felony tires from aliexpress for like half the price of hoons.

really good tires, you do have to glue em yourself though. IC2000 glue is the best!! bash on bro.

Are they exact dimensions as the hoons?

Personally I swapped my diffs front and rear so you can use all 4 of the same tires about 50 battery packs ago. Dropped in dual motor/esc and a Lambo body. I have well over 100 packs in this Felony with 0 regrets.

Arrma 1/7ths Limitless/Infraction/Felony are literally the undisputed on-road kings and have been for a while.

The only thing I've had to do recently is swap the center diff out to a fully metal case as I was melting them recently doing very long smokey burnouts haha.

I'm actually not sure but they work great. I like them more than stock tires for sure. Here is a video of me using em.

Infraction:

I also swapped f/r diffs on a custom build that started out as a stretched typhon with staggered felony wheels and mine has also been working great. A lot of people on these forums claimed it wouldn't work right and they were definitely wrong. I have to say though man, doing that to a felony is basically making it an infraction. You no longer have a felony so I dunno if you can be apart of our cool club anymore.

Well I don't know about that. She's still a felony as you can very much so see hahaha >> Try fitting the Bitty Lambo without widening the rear!!!

Hoons are a instant money pit!! Show me a good alternative when you blow through a set of tires literally every battery pack with hoons . I haven't used a hoons in years man.

I think I reinvented your club by making the felony correctly haha, wider not taller tires!! haha


Edit haha took me a minute to find:

tires same size = not a felony!!! I do have a jota same as yours though with normal tires on all sides and widened. That yellow looks nice!

I call it the limitless jota

Man honestly the choons are a really good alternative. You can buy them all the same size as well.

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807136100088.html?

Let me know if that link doesn't work. 29$ for 4 tires normal size but you gotta glue yourself same as the felony ones I linked earlier.

I saw y’all’s thread about the tires so I’m happy to be able to keep the felony pretty much stock for now. When I burn thru the hoons will try the felony choons. Have two sets of the felony ones and the glue you guys recommend. The tire rubber feels nice. I have an infraction and I use the choons on that in the summer. When it gets cold the wheels are too brittle. Although if you don’t smack curbs it would be fine. I like grps on the infraction also.

you are right about that brittleness in the cold. I cracked rims at like 45f once.

Yours looks really nice too. I have thought about getting a different Wing. What one is that that's on yours?

It looks stock but it's Chrome
