Get yourself a thread up man!!.. Or Atleast post some pics in the crawler pics bit maybe!!

So, I went and bought myself an early birthday present...a red RTR GOAT! 
I’m really liking it so far, a bit of pain to work on - yes I’ve already taken it apart and started on that slippery slope of modding. 
I really can’t help myself 😂

 

 

Flexin.,

 

 

Open heart surgery...

 

 

Getting there.,

I got it out on some serious rocks today and....I’m not really feeling the love for it tbh. 

Maybe it’ll grow on me.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Come on man!! That’s only because your other truck is so lush!!....

Mine, just finished today.

Been a fun build.

Is it wrong to be planning on this being my next truck while my actual next truck is in the post? Damn coronavirus is costing a fortune!

Perfectly normal. The last 2 weeks of this build i've been looking at Lancia HF Turbo's and the new TT02-SR (?)  chassis!!!

In my defence I have managed to sell one RC to fund the Capra;)

[Acidsnow]

It was 'just' a Lancia tt02 that started all of this, then an Audi, which using man maths was sold to buy an arrma mojave. 

I have no defence!

I just so happen to be selling my Capra. Just saying 😂

[Acidsnow]

Shhhh Andy, ye'll get me killed man! If it was this time last week I'd have been all over that like a dog eating beetroot. As it is, the toys budget has been well an truly burst, maybe time to sell a bike or two tho, but feel free to pm me a price. Keep it quiet mind!

I have a problem with my Capra, the back axle is locked and won’t go forward only backwards has anyone had this issue? I just bought it a month ago.

I assume your front axle is fine?. In which case the Dig servo adjustment is out some, you will need to adjust the endpoints for this till it releases and functions correctly again.

 

If this does not do it then check the dig servo mounts and dig servo horn for foul play... Worst case disconnect it and wedge in 4 wd for now....

If the axle will only rotate one way, it is probably the diff jamming. I built my goat from the kit and noticed this effect. I fixed it by generously greasing the diff.

Don't sell the Capra yet!  It just needs a few tweaks: Pen springs in the shocks and lead in the front wheels.  Oh, and a 3S LiPo! 

Mine also has front brass portal housings and a bull bar to protect the headlamps.

It’s already long gone.  The Capra just isn’t my flavour of RC 🤷

So what's your favourite flavour?

I prefer a scale look, but I gave the Capra a go and just didn’t jell with it.

Considering a Capra for myself and just thought I’d check in to see how you’ve all been finding them after a few months and whether you’d buy it all over the same if you were going around again?

I guess it depends upon what you may be driving and what appeals to you in the looks department... Mine is still in bits! But then I've put more energy into comp focused rigs instead. Whatever floats your boat 👍

 

But certainly it is more capable out of the box than a lot of "trail" rigs.

Had mine for a few months and have some Treal beadlocks which have added some weight.  I also got some Treal 6mm hex adapters but possibly have an issue fitting them.  They only go on if I remove the metal spacer in the stock plastic portal covers.  Anyone know if that is normal?

 

If I leave the small spacer in then the hex pin wont go through!?  Love the fit and quality of Treal but they are definitely lacking in the instructions department.

 

Just worried that without the stock spacer that debris will be more likely to enter the portal gears.

Late to this.... I assume you are not trying to run them the wrong way round?. Daft question I know but possible....

 

Oh, and on a side note I just realised my Capra has now been in bits for a year.... 🙈

Ha ha I did try both ways but neither fitted!  In the end Treal came back and in pigeon English told me that the stock spacer did have to be removed.  The seller said he had never seen that issue before and had fitted them on his with the spacer so I am at a loss.

 

Have actually ordered some GPM Racing ones to see if they fit!?

😂 OK Cool man. 

 

Personally, if the trial spacers end up replacing the space of the spacer then I wouldn't worry to much about it...

 

I assume you are just trying to widen the track further? If so you can also do that with different offset wheels or hubs ( Dependant if your wheels have the ability to swap hub sizes)...
