I love my baby capra. The overdrive gears are a cheap upgrade. And the stock springs fit traxxas trx4 shocks. It keeps up with my 10 scale rigs just fine, and is much more portable. I use it as my on the go rc.

[@HobbyDrop]

That’s awesome. I definitely don’t drive them as much. But they are fun!

[@AMurderOfTurtles]

Awesome to hear! My dad got a UTB18 and I couldn’t resist the senduro se so I think it’ll be a good pair of cars to play around with.

Great video, and gorgeous location, thank you

Need to get my shelf queen utb18 dusted off...put a 1060esc hw and a old spektrum radio.. taped the holes on the stock tires ....does 1/10 lines all day great crawling spot 👌

[@HobbyDrop]

Heck yeah, these are nice little rigs!

[@rcjoe406]

[@wyatthall8132]

I’m glad your liking the rig man, I thru those weights on a while ago and it’s a game changer for sure, keep up the good work and good lines😂

[@HobbyDrop]

Well done man! Haha it is fun!

[@DesertRockCrawler]

I have some stock batteries ill give you if you need them. I'm running tattu 850mh 3s

[@HobbyDrop]

Your always too good to me!

[@OutlandsDriver]

It would be better with springs. I don't know why people remove them. It's a hack job way of modifying. I wonder what else they did to it.

[@HobbyDrop]

Yeah it’s just an easy way to get it lower haha. I’ve got another one of these now that does have springs….i could do a comparison

[@lobdaboss]

i have a 300$ budget and i want to get a good rock crawler, do you think this is a good choice? do you have any recommendations?

[@HobbyDrop]

This one is solid, but I think it depends, going with a 10th scale truck will allow you to progress further without buying a whole new rig. But if you aren’t sure how much you will like it, and you’re just testing it out. Than this “mini Capra” could be a good fit. For $300 I would say get the Redcat ascent. That will get you into the hobby with a pretty capable truck, then you can updated that truck almost endlessly as you get more and more into the hobby. (I’ve got a fulll playlist on the ascent as well as links to buy it, if you want to see more info on it)

Imagine that thing with rear steer, great video keep it up

[@HobbyDrop]

That would be fun! Too much for my 5 year old 😂 but great for me! Haha. Thanks man

[@RedLionRC]

Great video 🤠👍🏼

[@HobbyDrop]

Thanks!

[@Elisplushies360woodierc]

How are you liking the springs removed.I don’t trail with mine and thought about removing them.

[@HobbyDrop]

Honestly I haven’t driven it much, and I bought it like this…..haha so I’m not sure the difference

[@Elisplushies360woodierc]

@@HobbyDrop Tnanks for getting back.

[@rcuintheshed6981]

Thanks for sharing.

[@rc-dom-uk]

impressive rig. like you i’m impressed as i wasn’t sure about this little guy. 😊👍

[@HobbyDrop]

Haha right?? Very pleasantly surprised!

[@creekcreeperrc7972]

Wait until you add some Proline tires OD and brass on the front

[@HobbyDrop]

That would be a game changer for sure!

Exc temper is 1/18 scale. I upgraded to a small 2s lipo ( 1200 mAH RV pro.) Still fits under the hood plus sticky weights. Goes pretty decent

[@HobbyDrop]

Where did you add sticky weights?

[@beekerbeeker5779]

@@HobbyDrop added weight under the esc plate on the rear. Back of steering servo. And a small chunk under the servo over the axle. To keep it low down.

[@HobbyDrop]

@@beekerbeeker5779 huh, very nice. I had to look that truck up tho. I hadn’t heard of it before
