Further Description/Back Story | This started as a speed run only build until I drove the Infraction for the first time. It’s a super fun, very fast street basher for a reason! So I built an 8S Infraction that I call the Infraction GT-ЯR Skyline. There’s still a lot more upgrades on the way, but I would say comfortably this is a $2,500 car the way it sits. My goal is to hit 100mph, be able to bash it around for several minutes without getting hot and have a car that looks as good as it drives. I have some GCRC fans coming that will run on a separate 3S lipo so I’m anxious for that. I won Rig Of The Month on ArrmaForum for July once I finished the paint so that motivated me to go all in on the build. Eventually I’ll be getting a full carbon fiber GT chassis for it along with Titanium drive axles and some other goodies. A build in progress that has exceeded my expectations…and my budget! |
