Infraction Infraction XO-1 Project

[frankcfalco]

Ordered a Traxxas XO-1 Body and XO-1 Wheels. Going to fit the XO-1 Tires and Body to one of my Infractions. I am thinking the Body and the Larger Diameter Tires may generate a higher speed speed than my personal best of 93 mph with stock motor and ESC.

Should be a fun mini project.

Toughest "XO-1" ever after this change. ?

Welp... I fitted the Body and the Tires. It looks really good. I took it up and down the block a bit and it seems to run really good. I will try to take it to a spot with some room to do a speed run. I decided to put this on my 70mph infraction. I left everything the same, so we will see what difference the larger XO-1 tires make.

A few observations. The XO-1 Tires Balloon at high RPM. I don't like them. The Infraction stock tires are WAY more solid. MUCH better for speed runs. The XO-1 Body is flimsy. Probably half as thick as the Infraction body. For those reasons I did not mount this stuff to my 93 mph Infraction. The Body is going the deflect at high speed from the wind, and the tires are going to balloon. I am not sure what that will do to the handling. We'll see how it goes what I get to do a speed run.

Ok so results. I definitely like the look of the XO-1 body. Nice to have two Infractions and have them look different. The car drives just as good as far as stability goes and handling. The top speed is a little greater because of the taller tires. I am running a 21T/46T setup. My previous best top speed with this combo was 70mph. I just easily ripped off a 73 mph in front of my house. I am sure it has a little more in it (74 mph maybe 75 mph).

Overall it was a fun and cool customization!

You could of at least taken the "Traxxas" side decals off @frankcfalco .

If you want an aero dynamic body have a look at the speed run 1/7th scale bodies from Delta Plastiks.

Lol! You know I was conflicted on if I should remove the traxxas decals. I thought it would look 'Plain" without them lol.

Dang! wish I knew about those bodies before. Love this one: https://deltaplastikusa.com/collect...YZ5sBzyROTYpX28zse3ytHF-h7kzDxD7qcflG1_agi6Fc

The wheelbase of xo1 and infraction is same? Or did u make some modification?

If you really love the XO-1 body.... You can re-enforce it with fiberglass. I can break that down further for you if you would like.
You are correct about the XO-1 tires balooning, they are best for speeds below 80 in my opinion. GRP tires or Hoons will remain your best option.

Hi everyone,

Does the traxxas xo1 body directly fit on the infraction?

I have an XO-1 that I drove for 40 seconds before demolishing the front end. While waiting for parts to repair it I got a Felony and a Vendetta.

So excuse my dumb sounding questions.
XO-1 tires ballon? I thought they were some special material for 100mph runs.

How do you reenforce a body with fiberglass?
