4-Wheel Steer Equipped RC Car! Axial Capra 4WS Unlimited Trail Buggy RTR Review | RC Driver

The Axial Capra instantly became a hit because of its abilities on the rocks, tons of articulation, portal axles, robust driveline and maybe the most important for some, a killer Unlimited Buggy frame. After the kit version, Axial released an RTR and people have been pushing this rig to the max, both in stock form and with modifications. One mod that really stood out was 4-Wheel Steer. This really turned this buggy into an amazing off-road machine while making it much more like a real 1:1 buggy. Well, no need to source parts for 4WS anymore, now you can get it all in one kit! We have the new Axial Capra 4WS in our hands and it’s another wild one. The ready to run features new liveries, even a new cage color, new tires and it’s equipped with everything for four wheel steering. Greg will go over all the details in the review and show you how it drives along with showing you how the steering operates. Could this be the ultimate RC crawling buggy? See for yourself!

What do you think about the new Capra 4WS? So much more capable right? Grab yours here: snp.link/64e7a270 I did also want to mention I missed that the rear cage has more clearance for the steering. I'll show more of that when I create the Spektrum DX5 Pro install video.

[@glennelzinga523]

Love your videos! I am loving this new 4WS, but would like to put some weight on the axles. Do you know if the brass steering knuckles and portal covers for the Capra UTB/SCX10 III will fit the axles of this 4WS?

[@JeepsCafe]

Excellent video Greg! You have covered everything I wanted to know about the Capra and now I want to buy one.😁

[@OwenWestlund]

Great review! We love our Capra 4WS! It's held up really well to all types of driving (and abuse...) and the electronics haven't let us down at all either. Can't quite say the same for our Ryft, but with a little work i'm sure we can make it better. We went to a much taller tire on the Capra and it made it twice as capable, it feels like cheating when crawling now.

[@mmig2116]

Great reviews as usual! Straight to the point no nonsense! Thanks you’re awesome!

[@51panhead91]

Great video! Always exciting when Axial has a new release. I think the Capra four wheel steer will be my Christmas present to myself. Lol

[@joshuatyeryar8001]

Love your videos I love the detail that you put into it and how you explain how everything works good job keep doing what you do

[@ozgt99]

Best intro so far haha! Very cool to see 4 wheel steering. I always felt monster trucks especially the LMT needed it.

[@rcdriver]

Honestly, not even staged! Was just planning to drive it around the bench top lol!

[@95666]

Best rc review channel, used to get your magazine in the mail!

[@RC4X4]

WOW! This is awesome. I was thinking of getting a Capra. This is better now.

[@jamieofalltrades536]

Awesome rig and it's so quiet! I think I might be getting one of these in the near future :)

[@dudeonther1978]

Your intro to your driving montage was amazing. Nice work on creativity

[@rcdriver]

Thanks! When the car is truly a blast to drive it makes it easier to be creative.

[@kttz28]

Mine is on order for June 18th! Can’t wait to open it up and start having fun!

[@qrisemrc]

You KZbinr in the first appearance scene is so much fun. Did you panic when the capra fell under your desk? The expression was so funny. I will come to watch again next time. thank you.😁😁😁👍

[@rcdriver]

That was a real accident. My plan was to drive it around the bench top. I was instantly worried the drop may break something before I even started the review!

[@JuanVargas-ud5dg]

Axial needs to make a 1/24 scale Capra will change the game for sure

[@ethanh3421]

Or a 1/6 scale…

[@Basin79]

Well you were really close. They made an 1/18th.

[@theronphifer8158]

The ax24 is basically a mini Capra

[@saturnfivehynrgrc581]

Greg Wow man, that four wheel steering looks like a-lot of fun. That Capra sounds very quite too. Mmmmm maybe my next RC. Very nice.

[@rcdriver]

It is. Yes, it is pretty quiet. The only time you hear geartrain noise is while decelerating from quicker speeds.

[@kopigangrc]

Awesome rig out of the box!!!

[@rcdriver]

Yes! I’ve been missing out not converting my original Capra kit. This 4WS RTR is so capable!

[@netcruzer]

Very nice! I like it a lot, I don't have any 4 wheel steer RCs yet. This might be my first, unless I do a LMT conversion.

[@Rc-Adventurers]

On my OG Capra I added rear steering. If you can put rear steering on channel 5/6 and use a dial it makes it much easier 👍🏼

[@rcdriver]

Yup, I’ll be doing a video on using the DX5 Pro and mixing.

[@speckledjim_]

I was thinking just that. I do something very similar in my 1/16 tanks. Channel 5/6 for volume using a pot.

[@econarail]

Horizon has a video bindind and setting up DX5 PRO to nob and a link to free thumb steering nob to replace stock nob. So you will be able to thumb steer with one hand and regular steer with other hand. I'm glad I waited for a radio until now because this is what I have aways want to do steer each axle separately, this is awesome. Now if only they would do a 1/6 scale of this 4WS Capra.

[@markmanning6773]

What a beautiful spot!

[@vacatedbroom6237]

I really liked when they used tactic radio and servo, I'm still a little hesitant about spektrum stuff

[@danielemulazzi1615]

Woww... spettacolare...bel crawler... bel video... ciao dall'Italia

[@ibringdasmoke]

Dang it. I just bought a gatekeeper kit and have been putting together my shopping list to complete. I might have to start with 4ws now.

[@whistlinlipo]

Dang Greg you’ve been busy with reviews! Great reviews as per usual, my wallet hates you but my addiction to RC loves you.

[@rcdriver]

Thanks! There’s a bunch more in the works! 😮

[@OGs_Playground]

Good call on the wiring. Should be cleaner. I'll hold off due to the staged rear steering. 50% and 100% is just not good enough for this kind of money. Will buy if they do fully proportional rear steering in the future. After all, Danchee Ridgerock does it for $120 RTR.

[@tjohanne]

I completely agree with the challenging yourself with stock tires-idea. The same for me. It's actually fun to drive with not-so-good tires as well, for the challenge. It's a bit boring if everybody drives Hyrax, which often seems to be the case.

[@royrodgers3296]

Fling kings! Make it interesting:)

[@JesseRMartin67]

Where is this? I’d love to take my kiddo crawling here. Thanks for all the great honest reviews

[@tracerjournalofrcphotograp3129]

Real fantastic i just receive it in black, thanks

[@CasperRc81]

Those wider nittos fit the width of the Capra nicely with the narrow cage and they should have stocked the other narrower nittos off the 1.9 wraith to the wranglers for a better scale look

[@GazVanDyk]

I’ve been waiting for something a bit different, could be my next rc.

[@fdrc-modelsport]

Fantastic! I dont like scaler but this model Is very very cool!!🔝💪

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

Great video! I have a converted Capra, I’m curious to compare the new truck vs mine!

[@rrrccc1571]

That looks fun but it is a shame they didn't include a radio with channel mixing to take out the clunky looking button pushing. Guess it came down to cost. Great detailed review as always!!

[@999benhonda]

Especially considering the redcat rs10, from 10 years ago, had 4ws with full radio mixing...just click 1 button to cycle through 4 steering modes and the wheel controls all 4 tires...and it was a $160 crawler. Axial probably couldn't do better without leaving the spektrum brand.

[@999benhonda]

Um, the redcat rs10 had 4ws with full radio mixing(4 steering models) and came out 10 years ago for $160. So how does the axial just have click buttons to control the rear???

[@simonbar7665]

Big like❤

[@jonathanbolton2982]

Awesome video thinking about picking one up.Just trying to figure out what battery to go with how much run time did you get with your 1300mah

[@maxx3543]

Nice 😍😛

[@dandanthedandan54321]

Great review. Super capable rig right there. Love the 4WS feature. Much better mixing options for 4WS if you configure it to a better Tx like a DX5C, Pro or Rugged. Looks like it has a fairly good drag break too right out of the box.

[@ChrisGorman87]

Holy shit I need one!!!!!

[@nopresetsnarklimit1675]

Nice video as always, I'm on pre-order already. Is it just me or is the light bar bent or mounted upside down?

[@johnsonmike527]

How much run time are you getting out of those batteries? I'm thinking about getting a Capra and looking for the best setup

[@TheAlbi76]

hello, I wanted to know how wide the external wheels are, then do you think we could install a winch? hello thanks!

[@fatfreddiescat9952]

Would of been nice if they revised the dig function with the use of wraith dig parts.

[@yourname5566_1]

Hey Rich, I am wanting to pair the Spektrum RC Firma 160 Amp Brushless Smart ESC with the pro 4 HD 3000kv motor, do you think these two components could work well together?

[@brandongirardi4027]

What with all the holes in the centers of all the steel linkage rods?

[@kolstee420]

Still looking for the red springs...jk that rig looks awesome

[@edwardsmartt]

Can I put my Reefs Triple 4 servo in the front of this car without needing an external BEC?

[@galbypetualang]

bagus buat nanjak keren banget tc nya

[@sethniebrugge-pr9qx]

I don’t know if yours does this but my rear axle doesn’t drive straight does anyone know how I can fix that ?

[@user-ch4md3fp7h]

❤❤❤❤

[@tonyvarela904]

Hi my name is Tony I'm subscribed to your channel and I Is learn a lot with your videos. I have a question , I saw you made a video on the 4ws capra, Did the one you use have a windy sound to it. I bought one and it made that sound and it burned the motor and ESC. We put a hobby wing 1080 ESC on it,and a new motor and I just took it out to test it and tho motor got so hot I had to turn it off for a little while. Do to your experience I Was wondering if you have any opinion about this Thanks

[@Cooldibs]

I found out the s614 servo, while they are “metal” geared, they are actually brass and not steel. Stripped this servo on my axial bomber.

[@simonleboeuf7036]

Texan EDC Cave i use 2 indestructible Power Hd water ruff crawl i buy it in 2018

[@jjshobbypower9091]

You reckon Axial will push out the 4 wheel steering version of the popular RYFT? 😊👍🏼

[@keaginm2791]

Hey Greg, I'm looking into buying a 1/10 crawler but I'm not sure what to get. I was thinking about a TRX4 sport or an Axial Capra, but both would be the kit version as I like building. Which would you recommend?

[@rcdriver]

Can’t go wrong with either. Depends on where you plan to drive or if you’re looking for something with a more scale truck look. Both are well supported.

[@ssboost1]

Can I use a Traxxas ID Lipo battery with a stock Capra?

[@Justin-rr9mf]

Do you have any reccomendations for a good rtr rally car?

[@brettwallick4885]

Man I just got done with doing this to my Capra kit

[@1LACOSRC]

How is the drag brake on yours? In mine (same rig) drag brake is almost nonexistent. I liked driving the 4WS until I killed the front servo (starting twitching). My only gripes with the rig are the drag brake & wiring..RC surgery is on the board🤷‍♂️..cant wait to get it back on the rocks 🪨

[@visionary_rc7987]

neat-o!

[@dannyf4447]

Just bought a trx4, haven’t bought batteries yet and now I want this as well 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ismaelflores4665]

Does it come ready to install the dig

[@minnesotaopinion2833]

Just curious where you driving? If you were in Minnesota?

[@gregpilney8514]

Do you think Axial will produce a kit version of this Capra? I was planning on buying the Capra kit soon, and was going to add the rear steer, but when this showed up in my subs list, was like OMG, Axial did it!

[@rcdriver]

I’m not certain if they would make a kit. But if I remember correctly, the kit and RTR had the same parts, so there is no “option part” loss if you did go with an RTR. Just yank and sell the new RTR electronics if you’d rather drop your own gear in. But yeah, 4WS sooo awesome!

[@gregpilney8514]

@@rcdriver love the Channel, keep up the great work and content! Side note, in a previous episode you went to RC Madness, was that the one in Enfield CT? Was just curious, I have yet to make it there, but want to. I am only 40 minutes away.

[@rcdriver]

@@gregpilney8514 Yup, RC Madness Enfield CT. Only 40 minutes?! I drive 1hr 40min to get there. You NEED TO GO! I guarantee you will be blown away!

[@crazygrc528]

Earlier this year a bought a Capra. You think they will take it in on trade ??

[@thomasvanderpool4735]

@Crazy G RC if you have a local hobby shop you deal with they might take it in trade and have you pay the difference. I actually bought my capra used earlier this year from Rc Excitement in Fitchburg Mass that was a used rc they took in on trade. I got a great deal on it. Thing with the hobby shops is they usually want to try to put it up for sale for a price it will sell quickly and make some money off of it. Your best bet to get the most money for the capra might be to sell it private sale. Other option might be to just try to get another front axle and make it 4 wheel steer yourself.

[@domineckyurchick9558]

What is the Run time

[@Taucoin125]

Bummer to see they didn’t address the horrible transmission gearing.

[@robgoffroad]

When I saw this, I was like, I MUST HAVE THIS. Then I saw how you control the rear wheels and it was a dealbreaker. I hate it. I want a separate knob to control the rear wheels just like the fronts. We need to figure out how to do something like that...

[@angelo24610]

Could I get this in nitro car form 🤔

[@rcdriver]

No they will not offer it in Nitro

[@mikebauer9202]

Time for 1/24 Axial Capra.

[@rcdriver]

That would be awesome!

[@ViperKillerWannabe]

Is it just me or is it lower and with softer springs than the original RTR?

[@rcdriver]

Unfortunately I don’t have the original RTR to check that.

[@ViperKillerWannabe]

@@rcdriver I'm just curious because one of the big complaints I've seen about the original is that it was too high and the springs were too stiff.

[@speckledjim_]

The recent price hike is really depressing

[@rcdriver]

Yup, like everything else we purchase. Paid $30 for a pine board the other day and remember it being $8 less than 2 years ago.

[@richiewilde1621]

Did you stick with the spektrum battery in the link? Does that battery make enough to run this unit! I seen lot of people running the gens ace 3600mah 60c pack, what’s your advice on the right battery for this Capra 4WS? Thanks for the help
