How do you think this rig would compare with the RC4WD Miller Motorsport rig?

Love the channel, new to RC. I have a question. What would you recommend for a do it all rig? 75% trail 25% crawl.

Nice you have it set up well , mine still shelf queened , cool truck “

Can you not trim a little off the top to make the insert a touch smaller.

appreciate this video. So refreshing to hear honest feedback

I'm just seeing this video and was wondering how is the truck holding up with the castle motor and esc

Im really impressed with this truck. Even with minimal upgrades, it's pretty amazing all the way down to the stock tires. I have injora green inserts with injora wheels and brass rings and its just about perfect. Redcat is on their way up with this one.

The Hammer is a fun basher. Pleasantly surprised how durable it is stock. Tom, what you’ve done is make it an amazing scale trail basher. Awesome setup !! 💪

I wanted blue injora inserts for my Redcat Fusion but ended up with green after feeling them in someone's heavier rig. They felt stiff even in a heavier truck so i knew they would be way too stiff in mine. I have the injora brass wheel rings as well. Ive done a couple other cheap easy mods as well but it climbs great now.

Hey Man as a former Jeep builder NERD, I can respect what your doing here with your R/C models. not many people can afford to build 1:1 scale versions of their dream rigs! the smoothness of your FWD only demo is something that my college mates and I could have only dreamed about in the late 90's

Can I ask what part of the country you are in? Looks like southern Missouri in the ozarks where I am from.

I just got the IFS2 kit and a gatekeeper kit to try this on!

Just curious, straight up better than? Portal? Should do a Capra shoot out, straight vs. portal.

I have yet to fully watch this but, it really depends on your terrain your terrain can do straight axles but terrain with sharp and jagged rocks typically portals will do better. However straight axles lower the cg so I get what you mean.

Nice! Shock bands solved my issue of unloading with the soft springs on my AR44 Capra. I also run the SE1200, and a few times have wanted more wheel speed. Gonna jump up on the pinion gear after seeing this. Thanks for the tip.

I love my AR44 axled Capra. Closer to scale axle width and it flat out works. I call it the Cheapra, an RTR 10.2 with a free cage, 90mm Proline shocks with soft springs, Fusion SE, Injora wheels and inserts, a Gatekeeper interior and well worn free KM3 Prolines. Damn fun rig.

I built up a straight axle Capra with Vanquish F10s and it’s been fun to see how it compares to a portal setup. I’d say the improved maneuverability and stability pretty much overshadows the loss in clearance and learning how to navigate technical terrain without portals is a good challenge.

Highly recommend getting rc4wd lower aluminum shock ends for the bottom of your desert lizards. They sell mini that are same size. You can see what happened in my last video but that one is 4ws and lizard's where practically new still

Say umm one more time please

Génial. puis je savoir quel esc et quel moteur précisément? merci

ive been wanting a nice straight axel truck thanks for sharing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What rims are those ? 😮

Hammer rey vs Rzr as a general trail bash rig? Hammer rey has more clearance i guess but seems crazy long. Whatdya think? We run on very similar terrain.

Ooh yeah the good ol' Fusion se mate, i got a 1200kv and and 1800kv. Pretty punchy systems with super smooth low down control. Mine though are geared relatively low, although one of my crawlers runs on 2.2's. I know what mean about stuff getting overgrown at this time in the northern hemisphere. Here in the UK my local woods get massively overgrown at this time, so much so i actually prefer going out in Autumn and Winter. Epic place though and super run, Capra is a mean crawling machine! 💪👌😉😊

Give it a bit of the beans 🫘.... 😅

Just took mine up to some awesome rivers in NH. Thing is so cool looking going up river. I did break one half of a trim tab so need to fix that but otherwise very cool! Oh and I hit a rock and it flipped and I had to chase it down river with no shoes. Getting some water shoes next lol. If they come out with another version that’s stronger I’m in for sure!

I see plenty of times rc off roader owners who proud of his work, but that is only worse than factory setup... But this suspension really handles better the rough surface ! Nice work!

I just bought some of these lx shocks. Do you still use them or did you just keep the stock shocks? I hope i didn't waste my money.

is there a reason why Redcat decided to put a 2 piece pinion in there?

Nice video 👍 ,I love the capra you can do everything with this car .

3 gear is old school but yeah, not too great for CG... Did you do any CG measurements b4 and after?

I have that same program card, it came with the Hobbywing 1080 brush system. They have a different card for brushless

Awesome truck 👍😮

Awesome truck

Nice mod.😎👍 I love the mini lmt, however the quality and design just isn't quite there imo. My whole cage is twisted and out of alignment making it a nightmare to get on everytime, having to bend the cage to get it to seat properly so can turn tabs. I don't really struggle with the tabs moving, I do struggle getting the cage untwisted one side. Tried loosening, tightening, bending here and there as much as dare but still way off. Probably end up adding spacers and longer screws to try straighten. Hate to say it but that cage gives me cheap toy feel, not the precise "expensive" model feel I expected. 🤷‍♂️ All being said... sun is out and off to play with it 😂❤

Where did you get your transmission, underdrive gears and high clearance links? My Custom Jeep CJ-7 Ryft Build needs all these next 😊 it's got everything else and some now 👍 yours is so very capable we should crawl together someday 😊

this looks like a great spot. Im in Mahwah, just got started with crawlers 2 weeks ago. Where is this located?

You're right about the scale experience, I like them to be capable, but realistic.

I'm glad I watched this before mine arrived. Installing decals and lights went very well.

I got a pair if jetco rockforms for my sledge the one on the front were realy bad, once you throttled up on the bench the front suspension was bouncing up and down over an inch . Left a bad review then powerhobby contacted me and sent a new pair and they were good. I realy like the jetco tires even though there very heavy belted tires

Great video! I'm thinking of getting one now that the price has dropped a bit. I enjoy scale driving vs full-on bashing. Have you tried the ARRMA Fireteam? It's huge, but it looks more scale and, therefore, more fun. Many owners(who own multiple trucks) have stated it is more fun than most. We have ticks real bad down here in Missouri, as well. I hate it, because I can't enjoy my own woods except in the middle of winter. I've been trying to build trails but time is hard to come by.

Have you had any issue with them leaking

Where's the link for the scale hardware?

The terràin is absolutely epic mate, wish i had something like that near me. The Vanquish is super capable, shane we cant see to get them in the UK (think)

I think if you add weight to it ,I think it would help the throttle feel!

They sell heavy duty springs for the bellcrank. Twice as stiff as stock. HD Servo Saver Spring: Super Rock Rey Item No. Losi - LOS251086

I might have to get that bell crank for my newest Super Rock Rey build. I finally pulled the trigger on getting the entire Vitavon package for it but i am pretty sure the list of parts didnt have the bell crank in it. Comes with wheels, arms, hubs and knuckles, rear axle housing, transmission case, idler gear, rear spool, trailing arms, shock tower...i cant recall what else came in it but as i said, not too sure the bell crank was included. I want to swap out the Spektrum Electronics and was considering either the MMX8s (leaning more towards this one) or the Old Dynamite 160 amp that i have found thats new in the box. I also want it to be sensored but i may be pushing it there. I also have a 70kg 1/5 servo i might put in it but was debating on getting something a little better quality like i use in my 5ive T. Possibly may even put a Reefs 2000 or 1000 in it but im not sure i want to go that route. The S9120BLi use in my 5T has 1453.5 ounce inches on 8.4 volts and thats the one i am leaning towards. $224 for that servo though which would push the SRR over the $3k mark. I still need tires so i dont have to unglue the ones currently on it (still brand new) and i can use those tires on one of the other 2 SRRs ive got. Im unsure if i want to go with the Hyrax, stock tires, or something else. Blah blah blah Anyways, is Eviratrue an off brand of Vitavon? Yesterday was the first time I found out the brand exists.

Always a lot of good info shared in your videos, thank you 👍

shouldn't you calibrate it just to make sure? I mean, it's still a Redcat.

Good Review, I Almost Bought One.
