Matt's Axial Capra

[faffy123]

Got my Axial Capra all together over the last few evenings. Went together very well and is a decent quality kit bar the couple of obvious mistakes in the manual. The quality of the plastics has greatly improved thankfully as Axials last few offerings haven't exactly been great. Running a brushed combo for now but will be upgrading to brushless fairly soon.  Looking forward to getting it out on the rocks.

Thanks. It's very easy and quick to do. Go on youtube and search for rc marble paint finish.

Looks very cool it has great flex I like the wheels and tires they look good enough to keep. Oops edit  just noticed their upgrades I was thinking damn they look good but only saw the wide shots. Hyrax?

Yes Hyrax on Boom Racing deep dish Kraits. Only comes with wheels no tyres. Stock wheels are plastic they do look ok but wont be using them.

Thought I should add to this as a fair bit has changed with my Capra. Still very impressed it performs fantastically well. JX46kg servo has bags of power running straight from a 3s lipo and running Boom Racing AR44 overdrive ring and pinion gears in the front axle.

 

I was never overly keen on the grille so went ahead and fitted a Knightcustoms grille from shapeways along with some head and taillights. Also a nice set of Chanquish wheels and beadlock rings. I must say for the price these really are very good quality.

 

Also ordered and fitted a Supershafty servo mount which was definitely needed after fitting the new servo. Today I added a new driver and co-pilot and a radiator from an Axial Exo Terra.

 

Few more bits still to do including a rear upper link riser again from Supershafty which I have pre-ordered and a full set of titanium links and king replica scale shocks from Priceys custom crawlers in Australia which should be here sometime early December.
