Axial Capra UTB-18!!! First Run & Review

[@CRAZYBUILD349]

the best capra driver in the desert, how meny all ready want the UTB-18

[@hikerglenn]

Great review Logan! I went out and bought one of these (Fox edition) , because of your excellent review showing how capable it was. You were impressed, so I knew it would be great. I’ve been watching some of your REAL crawler videos (which are excellent as well) and have learned to utilize different techniques like the big boys, and it has really helped my proficiency with my RC crawlers. Keep up the good work!

[@patrikmoller3643]

Of all the channels I follow I can't think of anyone who's better to review a rig like this than you, proper driving and not just beauty shots and good evaluation of the cars performance and features :)

[@JRLawson1234]

Well crap, I was trying to limit myself to only 40 rc cars but I think I’m closer to 45 now. Maybe I should move my limit up to 50 rc cars. Then I can get two of these and still be under my limit.

[@Lemonbangoreo]

I like it. You guys on the west coast have an advantage for this smaller clawer us guys on the east coast don’t have rocks like that unless you get to some mountain faces the way we have to pile rocks those tires would get stuck in every hole

[@fellmen2194]

You should make it rear steer

[@bongofury3176]

new subscriber with 45 years of RC fun and about 10 years crawling R1, Bully, TRX6, SCX24, FCX24 etc etc etc. enjoying your insight and your crawling environment. such a wonderul spot. the Axial looks really good. I have no chance of resisting...happy crawling from Derbyshire's Peak District

[@Bonitacreekrc2]

It is actually 1/12 scale for its measurements compared to a normal buggys measurements

[@PorkinsTheWhite]

Nice to see someone who crawls give their opinion on it. I have two SCX24s because I don't have the space to crawl usually (though I do have a 1/10 Element) but if I had your space I'd definitely take advantage. I don't know if I will get this, if I did I'd want to lower it's CG and try to make a Bomber out of it somehow.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

People keep calling this a toy and, admittedly, it takes some styling cues from the overseas brands. Pretty funny when you look at the micro rigs, though. They might look the part but bounce and flex their way over what passes for 'terrain' in the micro world (to be honest the micros are great for indoors fun but minis are competent crawlers, inside or out, and are a lot more flexible). As far as performance goes, and with eventual support from the aftermarket, there are lots of reasons to like the mini-Capra (I own the tenth scale version). What it comes down to, though, is economics. I'll pocket the $100 and buy the TRX4m. I LOVE this scale and excited to see if 1/18 grows but show some originality, Axial, please (and get that price down)! How ironic, that we're complimenting Traxxas, of all brands, for being a better value!!!

[@mikebird8290]

REALLY Looking forward to watching this 🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼🤙🏼

[@toddbarrieau7895]

bought my 2yr old nephew onie i have 10th scale capra love it and want my nephew to learn on real capra..he gets it for xmass this year can not wait nevevr seen it in action..so gonna be fun..he has only had walmart cars so gonna be his first real rc..im excited to see this ..

[@robgoffroad]

I'm so glad to see this! I've been dying to see some more coverage on this car. I'm wondering what the release date is. I'm also looking forward to hearing what you REALLY think about certain aspects of it that you can't say right now... like, are the tires actually any good, does it perform as well stock-for-stock to the 1/10 Capra, etc? It looks SUPER jacked up and top-heavy. I'm kinda eager to pin-spring-mod it, lose the lower caps and other 1/10 tricks to get it down more. And I'd LOVE to see Hobbywing do a Fusion Pro using the 380-size motor. I'm eager to rear-steer one too. Such a great, portable little car.

[@aftermathmotomxrc]

I believe he is a straight shooter... buying one through his link.

[@vdel9036]

Very interesting rock bouncer model. Thank you for this nice ride in an incredible landscape.

[@zachwest6940]

Need more video with the utb18!

[@jeffs869]

this looks a lot like my 1/18 vaterra slickrock from about 8 years ago. it was incredibily dependable and very waterproof. i drove it into the ground

[@fredsmith-dengler9225]

Nice video. Did a great job showing this vehicles capabilities! Such beautiful country!

[@toddbarrieau7895]

my nephew loves coming out and playing with us with his walmart cars...but cannot keep up with us ....i think know he will..he is still learning the steering so alot of training still to go but i think this will help..its a cheap rig so we can fix if needed..i know we are gonna love this rig for him

[@mikebird8290]

THANKYOU for sharing this GREAT new CAPRA with us LOGON. I REALLY looking forward to getting myself one. Definitely want the grey fox. Have a great week Buddy 🇬🇧🇺🇲🕊️✌🏼🤙🏼

[@westdesertwheeler]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@mikebird8290]

Hi Logon I've just seen the ECX TEMPRA V2 a lot a like

[@LargeeeScaleLife]

Dude I’m really not into the small scale stuff I tried it but this is really making me reconsider I absolutely love my full size one of these might be in my future

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Nice, video Logan, helpful and informative. Just wish it had been 4ws out the box. Still considering picking one up as I love my converted 4ws 10th scale capra. John

[@westdesertwheeler]

Perhaps in time. We will see.

[@Shane_S.]

Thanks for always breaking it down Logan! Looks like a fun rig. 😀Personally I was hoping it would be closer in size to the scx24 but still super cool 👍I will be picking one up for sure!

[@allyoucando8486]

if the wheel is 1.55 that mean the he 12mm, that really awesome, now my brain can go crazy not to far in the upgrades, but the performance can skyrocket

[@andrewupsidedown]

I'm excited to get my hands on a set of the axles. I've got an old losi mini rock cralwer with a custom chassis I really want to change out the axles

[@Glowingtomato]

You sold me on one. I'm not a fan of the tires and wheels but there are some nice options out there in that size. You would have to sink some serious money into a 1/24 to match that capability outdoors

[@billtruett8593]

I know it’s been almost over a year since you put this video out I finally got one … and yeah first thing I did was put a 1080 in it and it’s perfect/ with some Baja MTZ and TREAL wheels. Great rig … even if they call it 1/18 🤣

[@bkrgi]

Seems Axial stepped into the ECX Temper play ground

[@OkRC.crawlers]

I had to rewind like 4 times to see that dang lizard coming out of the crack! Suckers was small and quick!

[@dirtberger4533]

I am liking some different thank a other scale trucks. Think it's going to be fun little buggy.

[@howdyjim]

Excellent vid! Thanks! Just bought one. Have it in 4 days. Should be fun!

[@ChupacabraOffroad]

I have a few 24’s and want something bigger- get this or just get the 1/10 Capra 4WS? Will do some basic upgrades on both… if I get this it looks like a little length, lower, some brass and cool wheels and tires will be good

[@JuanOrtiz-of1sr]

I can already see myself putting in a 380 revolver with a am32 esc and agfrc low pro servo.

[@westdesertwheeler]

Yessss this would be awesome

[@michaelharvey2537]

I've been looking at the Rocket 380 sensored motors, they're 2 pole but given the weight it may be a nice upgrade to get into sensored performance on these buggies.

[@Gibsonlife573]

Have you seen some of the things that the guys are doing with the scx24 I got some bills that absolutely blow your mind how good they are like you said it's everybody's preference I preferred the small ones right now over the bigger ones so I do have a bigger when I just ain't got around to finishing it up

[@jimbo4203]

I like it, I'd lower it a little, add a few weights , seems the right size to do some big lines too

[@evanduncan125]

that thing looks awesome! i just had to sell a bunch of mini rc cars I had for this one.

[@VTECH650]

just pre ordered the fox version awesome crawling area

[@pwrofgrayskull]

I can’t wait to see your take on it!

[@CrawlerRuth]

Is the transmission gearing more like the SCX10 II gearing or the original Capra gearing?

[@jasonbecker4997]

Since you’re kinda the Capra guru at this point I wanted to ask. If you build a new 1/10 Capra, do you put in overdrive or brass on it? Sorry for being off topic, but I was waiting for a new video drop to ask.

[@NoResults-NoCharge]

I’ve bought 2 of these now, his’ n hers…yep, I blame you! I’m new to all this RC stuff and I’m having a heck of a time getting battery upgrades. I hate how quick the stock batteries die. I just spent $250 on a charger and two barriers that I thought would fit…guessing I bought barriers for the 1/10 Capra. I bought the Gens Ace IMARS d300 charger. I have now bought a couple other batteries I hope will work but I’m thinking I’ll need adapters to hook em up to my charger. Can you refer me to the best, long lasting battery for these? The only mods of done is the OD and brass accessories. Thanks in advance! BTW…I’m jealous you were able to buy a real buggy!!!

[@reprieverc]

I need to build you a 24th scale bro lol. As for this video though I'm pretty stoked to pick one of these up!

[@CAPRAQUEENRC]

Metal differentials? Mine came with spools from the factory. If you have a part number I’d love to buy some ❤

[@saintjavelynn136]

It's certainly cool and all, and being an Axial fanboy I'll likely buy one, but 1/18 scale is a stretch. The wheels alone would be 27" IRL. Not sure I've seen many buggies running around with Donk rims for crawling. 1/12 or 1/14 scale might be more believable based on the 1.55" wheel size. Still, a great video. Thanks for the information.

[@SpinRush]

You mentioned that you prefer brushless sensored systems. What brushless system do you recommend? This question is open to anybody.

[@redndeyes]

Just ordered 2 with over drive gears using your affiliate link bud.

[@westdesertwheeler]

That really helps, thanks man!

[@vbspeed7571]

These r super rigs. Can't believe they nailed it😊👋

[@mikeblack2346]

Fantastic vid Logan! There were a couple things on there I didn't know about even after doing my own research! Really looking forward to getting one. 🤙

[@rcjoe406]

Cool was wondering if my marlin tires and rims would fit awesome 👌 👏 👍

[@RCRitterFPV]

I Dig it... I'd call it a 1 :14... but seems solid.

[@exploringoutdoorsrc37]

You should do a comparison with the bigger one

[@exploringoutdoorsrc37]

@King420man King420man ya probably

[@ridgerc5976]

It does seem to be a little jumpy with the brushed system.

[@pinoyDIY72]

Woow that’s a great crawling Rc

[@randall4411]

Good review ! 24s are 100 bucks less and are easier to make a coarse to drive . Nice truck though .

[@paulothe118]

I love see the car but you man have seriously nice driving skills i love your drive lines and the way you make the car roll nice one eheheh you have earn one subscriber! Big hug 💪💪💪

[@fishnrc294]

Sid cracking me up had to come by & approve of the new RC. It’ll be interesting to see how it will do against the new Traxxas M. From what I’ve see this mini Capra is more capable then any other mini Crawler out. It’s a bit expensive & that makes the Traxxas more attractive but the M is 150$ & the Capra 250$ I think so that’s 400$ total so if I got both It would still be less then a most good 1:10 scale Crawlers. I have the new 4wheel steer Capra & it’s incredible one of my favorite Crawlers. I appreciate the review pushes me a little closer to getting one.

[@jasonbecker4997]

Two trucks for $400 sounds like a deal at first. But I know I can’t leave anything stock. Upgrades gonna break the bank!

[@exploringoutdoorsrc37]

You should review the red cat gen 8 v2

[@Tdawg0429]

How do you adjust the drag brake?

[@Robster19851]

What overdrive do you recommend for the 1 /10 Capra?

[@pauls1816]

Wonder if 4.19 would be too big

[@westdesertwheeler]

I tried a set and they look pretty big on there

[@jacksonrcaviation]

Real nice indeed 😊

[@ProjektONE]

Been waiting for this.. Thank you!

[@skyriseaerialmedia6808]

I love the look of these. What kind of runtime did you get from 1 battery?😁

[@dylansarna8750]

10:53

[@kalenotkyle3401]

Can’t wait to see it

[@BigB117]

I hope these bring back some mini crawler competition.

[@Rubiconrico]

For some reason I was no longer subscribed to your channel! Did this happen to anyone else? I’ve heard that this has been happening.

[@another-Kyle]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@killryota]

If u get a scx24 built out it’ll drive damn close to a 1:10 in my eyes

[@OlmanEg]

I have scx24 based rig, that puts most 10ths to shame. Plus I can fit 4 of them with controlers in 1 backpack. But on the other side of things, it does depend strictly on the terrain you have to crawl on. 10th scale is by far the most popular scale, there for there is way more parts verity, and customization available.

[@pedrolahoz]

I’ll pass, Mama crapa is sitting on a couch, not being used. Dont need another paper weight

[@thekid1924]

I'm just holding out for a 1.6 4ws capra!

[@bevinsracing]

C'mon brother get up and get out...

[@jerryhermann7233]

My nephue wants one so ill see it run. Hell crash and break it. I dont like letting him or my brother run my stuff. They have to use 100% setting way to much. Anywho im not hot on anything under 1/10th.

[@Simoroxigorum]

i like it, thanks !

[@GULIVERSOFFROAD]

those would be called rock lights sir not ditch lights

[@pooljunki1]

$250 is way to much

[@rob2738]

It’s just like a real Capra, but a bit shitter! 🤣

[@gregorholmes1837]

We will see. But axial is just unimpressive. With the plastic tires and needing constant a upgrade. While a trx4 can be run stock. Axial need to dump nitto, we are paying licensee fees for the worst looking tires made

[@Callmebutturblk]

No dig like the 1/10th scale version or a kit…no two speed transmission or slow crawl esc , $250 for an RTR crawler bit pricey while others for lesser price offer more.. so I’ll pass..Im waiting for 1/18th scale MOA Bully LOL😅
