.AJ. Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 That’s the RX in, I decided to ditch the HH bypass and lower the BEC voltage to 7v, the dig servo seems happy enough at that voltage, I also used a Y lead to connect up the dig servo so I could plug the light bar into it..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 Panels painted, went for a simple one colour because the main focus of the build is the orange of the VP wheels and Bluebird Servo 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 The case went together really well, one thing I would prefer is cap head hardware, that way you can threadlock everything really well and have no worries about getting the screws out again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Great looking Capra. Really like the look of these and was considering one as a C3 rig but they do list as quite wide. What does yours come in at width wise? I had assumed that one could run some different offset wheels though I guess the portals size will be the limitation here unless you used a 2.2 rim maybe?..

Popular Post Bix Posted January 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2020 Had my Capra out again recently with a fair few changes made since last time out. It now has a 13t Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster Sport motor, 11t pinion, Vitavon front portal covers, Pitbull Rock Beast XLs mounted on Chanquish wheels and some front and rear lights 😁 The motor is a little too fast really even with the reduced pinion size but tearing around when not crawling is fun tbh. Was going to install a 35t Torquemaster Expert but found it wasn’t the smoothest on startup thanks to the Capra’s high gearing, that motor will find a home in mine or the boys Enduro so no problem there 👍🏻 Chanquish wheels are fantastic quality for the price and look great to my eyes, the Rock Beast XLs hooked up great even on wet sandstone and the included dual stage foams are pretty decent too. The rig itself continues to impress and pulled some lines my boys modified Enduro couldn’t keep up with, although the extra width of the axles did mean he could squeeze a few places I couldn’t 😂 The spot we went to deserves a mention which is in Tunbridge Wells. It’s called wellington rocks and is some of the most challenging terrain I’ve come across in Sussex and Surrey, it’s the sort of stuff the Capra is made for. Even once we started losing daylight it still made for some cracking photo ops especially with all our lights installed. Cant wait to head back there hopefully in drier conditions where I reckon some even tougher lines will be doable! Ive got a few more bits incoming for the Capra with Brass Vitavon 3rd Members for both axles, a PowerHD dig servo and Boom Racing overdrive ring and pinion for the front axle courtesy of @faffy123. Will share feedback on all the changes once installed and run. For now here’s a few more bonus pictures, really wished I had a better camera on me! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how much narrower does it look like you could get before you're into the portals?. Great looking location btw!

Just make sure you have some challenging terrain as it just cruises over stuff most crawlers would have more trouble with 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulHCumbria Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) I've just finished my Capra. This is my first rc car (rc anything, for that matter) in 40 years and I'm pleased with how it's turned out. As a total newbie I decided to keep it pretty standard to begin with. That way I can actually judge how much difference the mods make as I add them. I've not even fitted a dig. The one obvious mod I have gone for is SSD weighted portal covers. That seemed a no-brainer, even to me. I've also fitted super-soft purple springs up front (waiting for a second set for the rear). Apart from that, it's standard. Oh, and the wheels - I wasn't going to use the plastic wheels, so it's got steel SSDs with G8 compound Krawlers. ESC is Hobbywing 1080, Reedy Radon 5 slot 16 turn motor, Savox SW1210 32kg servo, 3s lipo. Edited May 18, 2020 by PaulHCumbria 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
