.AJ. Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Fully equipped and ready-to-run, the Axial UTB18 Capra 4WD brings the ultimate scale trail experience to a new, 1/18-scale size. It's an affordable and portable rig that's highly capable for adventuring on the trail or entering in competition. Unlimited Trail Buggy in a Whole New Scale! The go-anywhere grit of Axial® rock crawling rigs is now available in a whole new scale with the UTB18 Capra™ 4WD Unlimited Trail Buggy. Its unique, 1/18 scale size makes high-end RC crawling easily affordable — and you can take the UTB18 Capra 4WD almost anywhere for the unlimited scale trail experience even in locations with limited area for crawling. Mini competition enthusiasts will also love the highly capable design. Of course, no Axial fan's collection will be complete without this high-capability, groundbreaking rig. Fully equipped and ready-to-run, the Axial UTB18 Capra 4WD is similar in design to the popular 1/10 scale Capra 1.9 4WD Unlimited Trail Buggy and has a scaled-down Capra tube chassis. Like the larger trail buggy, the UTB18 Capra also has portal axles. They give the UTB18 Capra extra ground clearance for maneuvering. Add in its axle-mounted, low profile 1/10 scale servo for quick, strong steering and the durable 4-link suspension system, and the UTB18 Capra is ready to prove that size has nothing to do with crawling performance. Officially licensed Nitto Trail Grappler M/T tyres mounted to officially licensed Raceline Monster wheels give the UTB18 Capra the grip to conquer rocky trails, rough dirt tracks, and most other off-road surfaces. Body panels with licensed livery, helmeted driver and passenger figures, LED lights and more combine for realistic scale looks to match its capabilities on the trails. The Axial UTB18 Capra 4WD Unlimited Trail Buggy comes ready-to-run with high-quality electronics, a Spektrum™ SLT2 radio, LiPo battery, and Dynamite® USB charger. You'll need nothing else to get crawling except the urge for adventure! Features Axial® Capra™ rock crawling performance now in 1/18 scale! Proven Capra™ tube chassis design for realistic looks and optimum clearance Fully ready-to-run — everything you need is included in the box Portal axles for maximized ground clearance 4-Link suspension geometry for optimal crawling capabilities Stainless steel lower links and metal axles with front universals Axle-mounted 1/10 scale servo allows better steering control in full articulation LED headlights, light bar, and rock lights continue the realism after the sun sets Officially licensed Nitto Trail Grappler M/T tyres on Raceline Monster wheels Realistic interior with helmeted driver and passenger figures High-quality electronics and Spektrum™ SLT2 radio In The Box (1) Axial UTB18 Capra 1/18 Scale Unlimited Trail Buggy 4WD RTR with: (1) Spektrum SLT2 2.4GHz 2-Channel Radio (SPMSLT200F) (1) Spektrum SLT 25A Brushed 2-in-1 ESC/RX (SPMXSE2525RX) (1) Dynamite Tazer 37T Brushed Motor (DYNS1208) (1) Spektrum 7Kg Servo (SPMS651) (1) Dynamite 7.4V 650mAh 2S 20C LiPo Battery with EC2 Connector (DYNB65021H2) (1) Dynamite USB Charger (DYNC1063) (4) AA Transmitter Batteries (1) Product manual Needed to Complete Nothing else is required Product Specifications Charger Included Battery Included Differential Bevel Gear, Locked (33/13T) Connector Type EC2 Ground Clearance 1.7 in (43mm) Receiver Included Internal Gear Ratio 10.2:1 Shock Type Coil-over 2.2-3.1 in (55-78.5mm), Plastic Motor Size 380 37T Product Length 12.6" (320 mm) Spur Gear 40T Steering Type 2WS Suspension Solid Axle, Front and Rear Final Drive Ratio 44.88:1 Motor Type Brushed Rear Track 7.7 in (195mm) Speed Control Included Wheelbase 9" (229 mm) Wheel Width 1.1 in (28mm) Body Tube Style Cage with Panels Brakes Integral with ESC Pinion 13T Scale 1/18 Power Type Electric Gear Pitch 48-Pitch Servos Included Ball Bearings Complete Vehicle Completion Level Ready-To-Run Drivetrain 4WD Drive Type Forward/Brake/Reverse Product Height 5.9" (150 mm) Wheel Hex Size 12mm Product Weight 29.7 oz (842g) Tire Tread Nitto Trail Grappler M/T Vehicle Type Rock Crawler Front Track 7.7 in (195mm) Inner Tire / Outer Wheel Diameter 1.55 in Product Width 7.7" (196 mm) Radio Included 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post .AJ. Posted December 29, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2022 Anyway here’s mine, not a great picture, it didn’t turn up till around 16.30 and the light is rubbish in my lounge for pics when it’s dark outside I’ve also picked up a set of the axial alloy links, I glad I did because the steering link set has now gone to back order till June 😂 And a nice set of beadlocks and tyres 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post .AJ. Posted December 31, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2022 I’ve just done a size comparison Little Cosmo had to get in on the action 😂 I will say there is a nice gap between the Capra and Ryft, I reckon a custom build 1/10 LCG rig would fit nicely in there 😉 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Thanks for that👍 I was gonna ask for a size comparison to the scx24. I'm loving the lcg builds I've done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Took it out for a little run this morning Needs some work for UK conditions, but still good fun, definitely needs some weight upfront, the suspension needs dropping and OD gears in the front axles would all help 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
