Infraction 8s Re-build

I made my own adapter using 10 AWG wire to match the existing motor wires. Also used 8 mm bullets to match the ESC. I did the research, this should work fine.
Thanks! This is the way I'm gonna go too. Looks clean. I saw Speedrun N.I. on Youtube just hit 152 with this setup.

The trick was to get this monster to fit with my modified heat-sync and all that…zip ties are truly RC’s best friend, next to Velcro.

Did some wiring today. This is about as clean as I’ll get it to look. Still yet to install the receiver and other itty-bitties that are on the way.
 
I used a straight edge and the chassis is still straight except for this lip here…I hope to get it back instead of having to buy another chassis…I want to run this car again this Sunday…

Was the motor and ESC ok in the crash?
What do you think caused the crash?
The motor and ESC survived, even the motor mount is still straight…

I think it was caused by bad setup mostly, in the aerodynamic department…the only adjustments I’ll be making are removing the aluminum rear wing from the body and go with the limitless style wing. I’ll Also cut out the rear of the body….

Man, I just got an infraction, and the thing is so freaking fun lol. I imagine you have to turn steering DR down a poop ton to get a real fast pass. Thing seems like it would be scary uncontrollable otherwise :eek:

How are you liking that big castle can?

This motor is extremely smooth.

Yeah I turn steering rate way down for speedruns too
 
This Infraction is really awesome! so far It has hit the 130s. Just did a fresh take on the layout so I can fit some bigger, better batteries.

I had a whole different driving experience with this car yesterday. The main difference was the addition of the home-made wing. That seemed to make all the difference because once it got up to speed it only wanted to go straight. I have a 1100KV castle in this and I want to get the most I can from that and this body.
