I’d love to see an updated video with Niel and any changes he’s made.

Thank you very much!

By far the coolest Capra I've seen

[@RCReviewChannel]

same here.

[@basalt8966]

This is like the dream capra, Its amazing!

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yeah, it is sooo much better than stock. What's cool too is it has a ton of lights and scale accessories, not an ultralight version.

[@marymalone5188]

Oh my gosh! That thing is class 3 ready. You just need to find a way to get a servo winch on it.👍

Oh my God!! It looks like a giant 🦀 crawling like crazy, very good custom modulation, and articulation of this incredible buggy! 😳

[@RCReviewChannel]

soooo slowwwww

[@shaunsanford2253]

I went with the soft/soft .72 lbs capra springs and im really happy. Ripped the shocks apart and rebuilt with green slime because they leaked and 45wt oil. I dont think I'd change anything, very pleased.

[@matmac7950]

Does green slime have seal swelling additives

[@matmac7950]

U can use ATF at any automotive shop

[@matmac7950]

I might try before I get pit bull shocks

[@speedfreak8200]

Best battery I've found for the Capra is Spektrum Smart 1300 mah 3S 11.1v 30C ... lasts around 40 min. This batt comes stock in the Proboat 17 deep V.the best part is it fits easily into the Capra

[@fuse557]

Just got a Capra RTR 4ws, would love to see an updated Capra video. Love your channel!

[@kevingoodrich3050]

That's how a capra should be set up !!!! Started out in RC with SUPER class rigs. They are still my favorite rigs to drive. With 8 or so inch tires 4 wheel steer dig and the ability to adjust each esc. Great rig !!

[@HighhScore]

Man I wish we were in the same area. I have a ton of faith in my modded Capra. I want to stack it up against some mod queens like the one in this vid! Sweet Capra btw.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yes, we are pretty luck with these rocks and beaches.

[@keithlim71]

Mind blowing video…awesome…Can someone share how the parts of 8pinion mod , etc what parts I need to get to achieve such crawling control ?

[@bongofury3176]

I do 'cheap' 4WS on all my rigs. HV bluebird servos wired straight to 2S battery with servo Y-splitter and a servo inverter on the rear servo. Constant unswitchable, un-crabable 4WS. Even without the option to crab or rear steer it is a lot better for steep crawling than just FWS.

[@dustinmoon8254]

Really like those window nets! How did he make them?

[@stpbasss3773]

I know they sell them on Ebay but not sure if those are them or custom

[@GrimJerr]

Going to start my Capra as my build for 2021, getting the kit for the New Year. I want to build a 4WS, with front OD. i was sold when I watched a review that showed all the ways to play with experiment with anti-climb and anti-squat with the link positioning. I actually want to play with a longer link, stretched wheelbase and take advantage of the higher gearing to get a Hammer Truck type of crawler. All Reefs servos, and The XR10pro G2 ESC and G3R 17.5 brushless motor combo from Hobbywing.

[@GrimJerr]

already have a FS-GT5 radio and receiver arriving tomorrow for another build I was working on I can dedicate to the Capra. Putting that other on hold for awhile.

[@GrimJerr]

Just started my Capra build, HWG2&G3R25.5TV10combo,F&Rst Reefs 444's & 99dig. Thx for the Inspiration.

[@KTMcaptain]

11t pinion crawls just fine. Get use to better throttle control and it’s actually better since you can get up slippery climbs easier.

[@RCReviewChannel]

11t is not bad. But it all depends on the quality of the motor, esc and transmitter. Hard to argue with how deliberate this one crawls and how easy it is to control.

[@KTMcaptain]

RC Review for sure. Mamba X with the aux hooked to channel 5 lets me dial the top speed from 3mph to 15mph on 4s. The throttle is fully proportional to this, so turned all the way down full throttle goes 3mph and half throttle 1.5, or turned all the way up it’ll be 15mph full and 7.5 half. . Puller pro motors are so smooth and hitting 43k rpm isn’t hard on it. It’s still geared decently low, it’s just higher voltage on a high (for crawling) kv motor. But that doesn’t mean the motor can’t provide torque at really low rpm.

[@GrimJerr]

The Scale details are the crowning touch. Beautiful !

[@RCReviewChannel]

Thank you very much!

Possibility. I like that the low-cost Flysky is absolutely dialed for this high-end rig. Seriously can't see a $500 radio outperforming it.

[@roberttruesdell6151]

Can you do a video on how to setup the GT5 with the thumb mod and setting up the 4ws

[@RCReviewChannel]

Mixing steering how? Is it helpful for that fast and capable machine:?

[@KTMcaptain]

RC Review oh, I meant letting the fly sky gt5 do the channel mixing. I put it on 4ws and rotate the selector to choose which mode and let the radio proportion it. . Though, if I turn it off I can use the push button to select from extreme right or extreme left.
