Great review!! I am immensely pleased that Axial has made the Capra a kit. Tires not included does not effect me...most people have a brand and style they like to go with. The blue Vanquish rims LOL. Over all it looks to be another solid kit from Axial. Thank you for the insightful review.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, best Axial links ever.

[@boldrbangr9834]

Great review; thanks! Love the shock caps with the bleeder hole, as assembling shocks is my very least fav operation. Any idea if these shock caps will retro fit to other aluminum Axial shocks?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Hey Boldr - yes, super easy to build these and get them right. I can’t tell you how many times I flipped the bladder in old axial shocks due to too much oil pressure.

[@82394forrest]

I have the blue methods too. Many others as well but that blue would look excellent

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice! Yes, it turned out great!

[@craigwiekamp]

Great video. I would run the rc network blue wheels, and I have never run the factory kit tires or wheels for that manner. I order wheels and tires to go with each kit. Guess I'm used to 1/10th buggy racing.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yep, ironically this build had many 1/10th scale racing traits - like turnbuckle style links.

[@Pedro123-s6v]

The best review I have seen for a long time !! A like and a new subscriber! 👍 .. I loved the construction notes 👍 ... I was considering buying the rtr since I am in a zen phase .. 😬⌚🛠️ ... But in view of the fact that you have to disassemble half a car to change the engine, I think I'll buy the kit ... What I don't know is whether to leave the Dig without a servo, because in the GOM I have, I hardly ever use it😳 ... And seeing what the owners say about how hard the springs are, I plan to try the gmade transition ... Congratulations on the channel, good job 👏

[@TheRCNetwork]

Glad to help out! The dig is cool, but like you said, I rarely use it

[@josh_rit8045]

Use the bronze proline rims. They look so much better

[@TheRCNetwork]

I hate it...blue won. I Painted the panels this weekend

[@marccyberwiz]

Sweet build nice work can’t wait to see complete. Might get this soon. I built out my Rock Rey and my TRX 4 which was fun but I’ve been wanting something like Bomber or Wraith just for crawling this looks better. What servo will you use for steering? I already have Mamba X ESC and motor combo for this. I hope 2400Kv sensored does the trick think it’s 3.2mm shaft.

[@TheRCNetwork]

You should be fine on the 2400kv (540 size, I hope) on 3s

[@BlackBirdFPV]

Im asking myself if this Carpa would can just do rock racing and bashi g around like a wraith or a bomber? It look pretty good 😍

[@TheRCNetwork]

I think it can....even better than the Wraith. The Wraith was quite fragile.

[@BlackBirdFPV]

@@TheRCNetwork can't wait to seenyour runing video 🙂

[@ekpauly]

Very informative, thanks for the first look. Would have been cool if you put a set of 1.9 wheels and tires on it for the comparison shots.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks for stopping by. When I shot the video - I forgot I mentioned the comparison until late in the evening while editing. Went out and attempted to add some wheels/tires, but I’d have to switch out all my SLW’s. I was already spent....I finished up the edit and upload at 3:30am 😬

[@blindj]

Just ordered this kit. I don't plan on using the dig and fully locking it out. Are you able to do this with the pieces included in the kit or do you need to get an appropriate sized spacer somewhere?

[@yvandesgagne4967]

Excellent video. 👍 The battery tray is really not wide. Really happy, it did not include tires. 😊 I prefer Pro-Line tires. 👍 Yvan

[@TheRCNetwork]

It's meant for shorty width lipos - which are gaining popularity.

[@CORINKERSTEN]

Did yours come with a spring for the dig servo saver, because i couldn't find mine or maybe it didn't have one.. Great video mate!!!! i had to use the plastic wheels because mine was for a product video ;(

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yep, no issues there. My only flub was the 12mm hex pin not being threaded.

[@tomandrews5392]

Starting build your tip to use Chap stick was great and got servo same day as delivery of kit...One thing o not over tighten ring of dig will not allow install of pin...

[@TheRCNetwork]

Back off the plastic loop - if you over tighten, it makes the pin hard to insert

Excellent review. I’ve just noticed you have fitted a light bar to your Traxxas trx4 to your scalerfab front bumper. What light bar did you use and how did you fit it please? As I would like to get one for mine please.

[@TheRCNetwork]

It's the 1" Rigid Industries light bar from Vanquish - I just had ton drill 2 holes in the SF bumper top plate

[@pawelnowak5013]

Hey buddy. Any advice on rims that can be used with this build? Seems like diameter is smaller by a pinch so normal bead locks will have a bit of a play. I’m talking about a small piece of half axel between hex nut and thread itself. Try putting those that came with a kit and fit them on your trx for example. Please advise.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Most 1.9" rims (with SLW compatible hubs) will work...you just may need to adjust the SLW hub width to clear the portals. I was able to run 225's (which are the smallest) on mine with VP Method 105's

[@kevinklein1806]

Thank you for making this as, I am waiting for the Capra to arrive at my LHS.

[@jeromebach8448]

Great video 👍 What size of battery can we put? How many teeth does the motor pinion have? Thank you very much

[@TheRCNetwork]

It takes a standard “shorty”pack, or as I listed the ProTek 3s shorty - that’s the largest possible. 14t pinion is the included stock pinion

[@spunkysandoval]

I'm not sure about this kit. Great overview! Very comprehensive and well shot. Thanks!

I run the same battery, it fits perfect with the tray ratcheted in a few notches. I didn't have to space it all the way out on mine...

[@TheRCNetwork]

Good to know! Thanks for stopping by!

[@Dochorahan]

Is that micro servo for the dig function waterproof? If not, HH is kinda shooting this rig down by making it all waterproof, except for the dig servo...that is proprietary designed to only fit the 1 spektrum servo available for it...

[@TheRCNetwork]

I couldn't find any specs that stated WP on the Spectrum SX107 servo....so, yeah. Since the release of the Capra, there have been other alternatives for micro servos and I even believe a mount for a full size servo.

[@tomandrews5392]

Not sue if your tired of hearing from me one other discovery was the idler gear to the slipper gear shows a shim being installed towards the trans side this left a misalignment of the idler to the spur ..I found placing the shim on the cover side corrected this misalignment issue...

[@TheRCNetwork]

Ah, good catch! Never tired of constructive comments!

[@Firewlkre]

Great video! I think the machined gears and upgraded shocks were a good trade off for the tires.Like you i can't use those plastic wheels either.I like the bronze colored wheels.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks jo jo. I didn find out later that the portal box gears are sintered gears (pot metal)

[@dschenk952]

Good video. I believe it should have come with tires, the DIG servo, and any other parts needed to complete the build. My local hobby shop only ordered the kits, and no other parts needed to complete the kit.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Very good point on that one - local hobby shops not being able to sell the entire job. Well hopefully you’ll get it all sorted out.

[@dwaynekaye2000]

Depending on colour of your rig. I like the blue rims they kinda pop(stand out) a little more.👍nice rig so far.

[@TheRCNetwork]

The lighter including LED's are included. The cage does have "headlight" buckets and LED's are not included for that

[@jsmith-rn4tp]

If I choose to have full time 4wd with spacer, do I need to install a shifting servo?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nope. The spacer keeps the arm all the way to the full time 4wd side.

[@garymurphy5133]

What a great looking model. Can this model be used for "rock racing" style? I live in a city so have more rough flat terrain to use.This is the best looking model I have seen.

[@brianorion9105]

Question - on page 15 of the instructions it calls for installing a gear number AXI234007 to the steering servo gear. There are two versions of this part, one labeled 23 and the other 25. What’s the difference and which one do we use?

[@TheRCNetwork]

The 23 and 25 refer to the tooth spline of the servo - many servos use 25t, but some still use 23, like Spektrum (Horizon Hobbies/Axial's house brand) Check your servo manufacturer and see which one you need

[@brianorion9105]

@@TheRCNetwork Thanks very much. That makes sense. I really appreciate it!

[@davidaarons2488]

Reminds me of the Twin Hammers it too came with Losi bits. I like the blue ones but I would get some bead locks on Amazon ($40) and they are just as nice and very good quality, but that's just me. so far looks nice. Hope the quality is better that the Wraith Spawn that I built (was a bit sloppy in the fitment area). God Bless Ya Dave

[@TheRCNetwork]

I agree on the wraith...especially if you ever ran brushless.

[@ThAsocialypseNow]

Can fit the junfac rsd piggyback 100mm instead the normal shocks?

I'm sure they'll fit - shocks are usually pretty universal, but not sure you'd want to put longer shocks on it though

I was into this until u showed your spawn at yhe end.. beautiful. I'll see if u have a video on that?, lol. . Is the spawn much of a crawler?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, the Spawn is a completely different beast! The Spawn was meant to go fast....but with the lockers it can crawl great

[@jeffsanden251]

I think more kits should come with out tires. Seems like everyone has there personal tire choice anyways and buys there specific tire right away. I also like the bronze rims

[@TheRCNetwork]

The only axial kit I ever ran the kit tires.......Yeti Kit. That’s it. I agree, do without tires, but include the dig servo?

[@jeffsanden251]

The RCNetwork yes, should have included that. Until watching your video, I didn’t know you needed a specific servo. I already bought a micro JX. I’ll have to go pick up the spectrum one now.

[@TheRCNetwork]

I haven’t verified, but here’s the part that was mentioned on The Capra group on Facebook: www.axialracing.com/products/ax31009

[@medievalpossum6504]

How did your transmission go together? My top shaft is not seating so the case won’t seal

[@TheRCNetwork]

MEDIEVAL POSSUM it took me a few to get everything seated in correctly. The manual was incorrect....put the top shaft through the outside of the case....not the inside like the manual shows

[@medievalpossum6504]

The RCNetwork thanks man. Helped na alot

[@el34superlead]

I'm just up to to installing the dig servo and was looking all over for the bottom part. I wish I knew I needed to buy the spectrum servo to use it.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Someone sourced a $7 part from Axial that would make it work on other servos (the spline adapter). This was never mentioned anywhere....even in the manual, which references a Spektrum model number. Check the FB group - it was posted there

[@el34superlead]

@@TheRCNetwork Thanks, I already ordered the spectrum servo. I just wish they made it more clear, I would have ordered the servo with the kit. Another thing is the shorty Lipo pack. I have 2 shorty packs but they are the kind with the banana plugs that connect to the top of the battery so they don't fit. Also I left out the bottom screw for the pinion gear cover so I don't have to disassemble most of the capra to change a pinion gear... I hope anyway.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, I'm having flash backs of working on the Bomber/Rock rey already! I think once finding a good set up, taking the cage off won't be needed too often

[@el34superlead]

@@TheRCNetwork The cage isn't too bad but that screw to the pinion cover is behind the suspension link mount. So the only way to get to it is to also remove the transmission. You are right once you have a good setup it should be al set for a while.

Do you only build and show your cars? all are new never run or please how do you clean them ?

[@TheRCNetwork]

When I started my channel, my goal was to help people that bought these RC's. Although I do run my cars, I keep them very clean and maintained....but as you can imagine, with so many RC's, it's hard to drive them all as if I only had one.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Jeff Shawaga it won’t. Only 540 sized - like the Roc412

[@Waltkat]

Thanks for your very thorough build review and especially the warning about SPMSSX107. Luckily I have a 3D printer so I can make this part to fit any servo I chose. Take that Horizon! And this is coming from a former Horizon products dealer, lol. For the price, I think this should have come with tires. I'll bet leaving them out was a Horizon idea to milk more money out of people. I'm beginning to think the Traxxas TRX-4 sport kit is a much better value (US$50 cheaper and includes tires!). Heck, the TRX-4 chassis kit (includes tires and all of the electronics) is a much better value, even though it costs US$40 more than the Capra.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, I'm sure there was a some serious pricing talk about the Capra. Just from building this and comparing it to my TRX-4 - they're two totally different beasts

[@andrewmurphy8724]

You pointed out my biggest problem with the Axial Capra at 5:58. They do not provide the complete servo saver but make you buy the recommended servo. What I did is bought a Savox servo and then got a servo saver for it that I used. Kinda annoying that Axial did this and some people will be put off about it.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yes, I completely agree. Later, many of us found out that the Spektrum servo that is recommended is an Axial rebranded servo from the Yeti Jr, and Axial has a parts tree that will somewhat solve this. Simply adding that parts tree into the box would let other servos work easy. Hopefully Horizon/Axial figures this out.

[@andrewmurphy8724]

@@TheRCNetwork Looking online I found the parts tree at AMain Hobbies. The part number is AXI31009. But Amain has it on back order and on ebay it is part of the complete 2 speed transmission set. So the parts tree is available but at this moment its hard to get.

[@Thedudeabides803]

I wish I bought the kit. I just bought a 4ws rtr and a quarter of the screws are stripped. Frustrating that when they assemble these things they strip so many screws. Last time I get an rtr.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, they likely power drove those things in.

[@AgentChachi]

Do you think this would survive ripping around a U4 style course? Without a new Yeti around, it’d be sweet to see it as a go fast rig.

[@TheRCNetwork]

I think it can....but we will find out where the weak links are quick (as we always do in U4).

[@joshuagregg1026]

This isn’t designed as a U4 truck. I don’t think those axles will hold up.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Joshua Gregg we will see. Axial also put some seriously fast gear ratios in this....to where crawlers are having to put 1800-2100kv motors in it

[@joshuagregg1026]

The RCNetwork Josh said something very similar. It’s got a lot of wheel speed. It just doesn’t look like they’re quoted suited for the beating that U4 dishes out.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Joshua Gregg most people will use this for crawling....I have more U4 experience, so that’s the route I’m taking initially.

And really the majority of axials kit tires arent worth mentioning. I have pikes of them still unused lol

[@TheRCNetwork]

I did like the Yeti Kit tires....they did well, but not better than Hyrax's

[@NikkiNexo777]

I'm glad it doesn't come with tires so I can choose my own. Kit tires usually suck anyway. As far as wheel Choice, you're probably going to paint the panels blue, so go with the blue Methods, although personally, I do like the bronze Wheels better.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, the bronze is speaking to me....thanks for watching!

[@rubiken06]

I'd go with the blue methods.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Ken, the methods are always a favorite.

[@Warwick3511]

A new manual is now out fixing the errors and not clear sections

[@TheRCNetwork]

Warwick Campbell yep, I saw that. I’m glad they fixed it...especially for the newer hobbyists

[@oldgeezer3324]

I placed an order for the Capra and canceled it the next day. After seeing it was designed to use one specific servo for the DG and the servo comes with a special part so it will operate, No Thanks, they can keep it. I have RC's I bought in the 80's that still run (Remember the Grass Hopper?) If I buy an RC, it just doesn't work that it was designed so you absolutely have to obtain a specific part made by a servo company to keep it working. How long will it be before that servo is discontinued, then the owner is up the creek without a paddle.

[@robertturnip7850]

Even if its not discontinued, what if is breaks? Would you need to buy a whole new servo just to get that little plastic part?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Someone sourced a $7 part from Axial that would make it work on other servos (the spline adapter). This was never mentioned anywhere....even in the manual, which references a Spektrum model number.

Even if Axial and Spektrum were to go out of business, it can be done...as we now have the ability to 3D-print that part in perpetuity!

Go with the blue ones i thank they look better

They one....I painted the panels this weekend

[@RCsRCCars]

This video made me not want to buy the Capra until there’s a servo alternative. Why didn’t they just include the servo in the kit?

[@RCsRCCars]

Would you happen to know the part number? I know the Spektrum SX107 servo is only $15 but it’s just annoying why they don’t just include the servo or the adapter in the kit. Besides greed of course.

[@TheRCNetwork]

RC's RC Cars I haven’t verified, but here’s the part that was mentioned on The Capra group on Facebook: www.axialracing.com/products/ax31009

[@powcar91]

It doesn't need tires included, I would chose the blue. Since you like blue a lot.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks PC - always cool to see you in the comments! Blue always wins for some reason.

[@duder280z]

They were correct to not include tires on this one.

I sold all my RCs a couple months ago and I'm glad I did lol, now I have money lmao.

Amen to that! However, you’re still watching RC videos.....”the addiction is strong with this one” 😃👍

@@TheRCNetwork no I actually don't anymore I clicked on this to see what it was and I didn't watch lol. I didn't unsub to anyone because I like you guys but I don't watch or do anything RC related anymore, the hobby was way too expensive for me lol. I just sold my last RC the other day, my little scx24 it was my last one 😥. I've had a trx4 sport, two scx10ii, 1/10 yeti, redcat gen 8 and Everest 10, a slash, rustler 4x4, 2 losi tenacity, an arrma senton 3s and granite, 2 ecx barrages and my little scx24.

I cut it down to about 15 by mid year, and now, I only have about 10. I sometimes don’t even touch them for 2-3 months, but Instill get the itch....and I like to think it’s better than just watching Netflix or something.
