Pre-ordered mine (from AMain, no less), and received at the end of September. The kit is a great build...just take note that there ARE some errors in the printed manual - download the latest PDF version of the manual. Even with the latest version of the manual, there are still some problems, so I also highly recommend watching some of the build videos done by RC Driver, RCN, etc. This is my first crawler, and, based on things said in the RCC forum, this kit is a HUGE improvement over previous Axial kits (partly due to Axial now being fully integrated into the Horizon Hobby family, and partly due to most of the plastic pieces being manufactured in the Losi factory (using the strong, high-quality, Losi plastic). Enjoy !!!

I got the Capra coming in 3 days! Its gonna be awesome! I also just bought the new Pro-tek SL hex drivers, thanks to u Brett for sending me one to test out, I liked it a lot n had to get more of them, so I bought the rest from A-main

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Ah, cool man! I wondered how you liked that driver. Happy to hear it worked out for you, they'll come in handy on that Capra. -Brett

[@venturesquatch]

Best unboxing and description! Thank you

[@jaguarsrcfamily101]

I would absolutely buy this one ✅ looks like such a unique and capable rig! Two thumbs up 👍🏻 👍🏻🔥‼️ best axial ever.?????

[@jasonwilliams74]

Looks like fun! Can’t wait to see more

[@fighterjetgeekaviationimag2146]

Hey @Brett and AMain...Thanks for taking the time to produce and share these cool videos. As a former HPI Nitro road car owner, (20yrs ago?? Already?!? Man...I'm old..LOL!!) Anyway..Im looking to get back into R/C and hopefully get the wife involved too, so your unboxing/review videos are really informative and helping me decide what I want. I'll definitely be creeping the AMain website when I'm ready to pull out my wallet... How about some more nitro/gas reviews and upgrade video's? Thanks so much all! Stay safe!!

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Hey, welcome back! You have some amazing r/c options at your finger tips. You've got some great nitro options available, and with LiPo's and Brushless motor technology as good as it is, there are some incredible electric vehicles too. What kind of r/c'ing are you thinking; crawling? -Brett

[@grumpymissblysdroneadventu7224]

This 👍 is for you this time. Brett!👌👍😍

[@sylvainster30]

Wow that makes me want one so bad 🤤🤤🤤 have a great day Brett ✌🏼😎👍🏼

I got one and love it. Thanks for the vid.

[@GrumpyOldManRC]

Great review Brett! BUT.....This 👍 is for your little brother at the very start of this video. I saw the resemblance right off.😮😎❤

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Haha, I can't deny it. -Brett

[@RC-ScalerandBuilder]

Nice! Can’t wait for mine to get here, ordered from Amain, just waiting for a Holmes Hobbies servo to come off back order.

[@GrimJerr]

Nice All those link positions let you experiment with Anti Squat and Anti Climb depending on wheel height and overall system/chassis weight with electronics and Battery.

[@swashbucklingadventures9929]

Dig unit and headlights are included on the RTR version.

[@troyflanagan173]

Anyways have a great thanksgiving brett!

[@mark675]

Another advantage to dragging your rear end is when you have got worms

[@AMain_Hobbies]

That can be problematic. -Brett

[@troyflanagan173]

Brett should i change my front and back Axls to Aluminum or steel they don't break when i hit something by mistake going to fast which happens sometimes.

[@casey1441]

I wish axial would put those portals on some of their other trucks. That dig transmission seems really interesting though.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

I'm looking forward to a truck having those portals in the future. Should be great. -Brett

[@marccyberwiz]

Nice! When will you guys have the Protek Shorty 3s 4100mah back in stock? That would pair perfectly with this Capra.

[@trouble269]

marccyberwiz that pack is great - but the smaller Protek 1800mah 3s is a better fit ;-) www.amainhobbies.com/protek-rc-3s-90c-sigraphene-hv-lipo-battery-w-xt60-connector-11.4v-1800mah-ptk-5572/p975514

[@trailcrawler2038]

The DIG is 3 position. Full 4wd, FWD open rear, and FWD with locked rear.

[@RC-ty5ym]

Really?!

[@trailcrawler2038]

@@RC-ty5ym Yup, unless it is set on a 2 position switch or endpoints need to be adjusted.

[@RC-ty5ym]

@@trailcrawler2038 But everybody told me that the Capra has only locked rear or full 4wd...

[@trailcrawler2038]

@@RC-ty5ym Completely incorrect! They must not have it on the proper switch or have it configured properly. The point of a DIG is as I mentioned above. 3 Position.

[@RC-ty5ym]

@@trailcrawler2038 Hmm... I'm gonna tell that to them. Thanks for your info, bro!

[@troyflanagan173]

So i think your saying use the Aluminum 1s instead of steel less weight and more fun to drive i just find the plastic 1s are to flimsy not strong Enough to take beating sometimes they did not break or Anything like that i would just feel more Comfortable with the other 1s front and back.

[@adamlitho6448]

hi i was wondering your opinion on the traxxas nitro rustler and traxxas nitro slash. my nearest track is 1 hour away and does not accept nitro so im not going to be competing it. very limited suppies in Australia such as nitro as it can not air travel so it needs to be made here. and parts are limited from the lack of tracks and resources. the rustler and slash have electric replicas so parts are easy to find that way. i have around 500 aud as its my second rc and find electric boring as no one to race and its so quiet plus it always loves to break like all cheap 1 10 scale. want something to jump bash and hopefully make like a little dirt track spot somewhere and just have fun knowing i can not hold back. the rustler does not have parachuting issues but is very low for jumps so it will not be good at bashing. slash i can cut holes in tho body to stop parachuting but was wondering buggy or stadium truck. Thanks again

[@AMain_Hobbies]

A truck like the Slash or Rustler will be more stable, where the buggy will get a little more upset from surface inconsistencies. They're all great vehicles, but to spend less time running after the vehicle to flip it over, I'd recommend a truck. Between the two trucks, the Rustler is wider, so it will be a little more stable than the Slash, but either option is a great choice. I'd say, pick the one you think looks best. -Brett

[@adamlitho6448]

AMain Hobbies thanks I think the slash would be my choice as it’s going off road and doing jumps so I think I will go with that. -Adam

[@rcscalecrawler38]

Bonjour, super vidéo, jolie Capra, vous avez mis du poids dans les roues ? merci

Les salutations. Nous n'avons pas ajouté de poids au véhicule ou aux roues. -Brett

[@williamammon4899]

Just got mine , Will I be able to use my Tactic TTX300 ( radio) with TR325 Receiver ??

[@AMain_Hobbies]

The TTX300 should work William. That transmitter is also 3 Channel so it can operate the Dig unit if you want. -Brett

[@Nickwillfixit]

These should have been on the Unimog they missed a sales oppertunity they would have sod more if it had had them.

[@michaelwatkins1536]

🐐CAPRA on it's way (AMAIN). I heard the build instructions suck.🤔

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Nice! The manuals did originally suck. But current kits should included the updated manual. Happy wrenching. -Brett

[@GrimJerr]

Proper Beadlock Wheels are Metal. No Sweat Tire and Wheel Collector Ha ha

[@Nenonikay]

Hmm

[@Nickwillfixit]

Not a fan of the holes in the 4 links a weakness built in and ruin's the scale look.

[@el34superlead]

Thats a 2s cell not a 3 cell.

It’s a 3 pos dig

Is it TRX4 killer? lol

My Truck got caught under a car today at the back of my house there is a pretty big parking lot with cars there today and the owner Accused me of putting something under his car when All i was trying to do was was get my Truck out from underneath the car then he takes my picture. And says to me hes phoning the police on me i said to him I'm sry if i offended you sir have a nice day sir.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Oh wow, maybe he was having a bad day or wasn't understanding the situation. Where you able to get your truck out from under the tire? On your other question, I would go with Steel driveshafts unless you plan on racing. Aluminum driveshafts are more for racers looking to shed all the weight they can, but will not be as durable as steel for bashing/just for fun use. -Brett

[@thepenguinlaugh5377]

Here is a random text from the bible: This is the complete family tree for all Israel, recorded in the Royal Annals of the Kings of Israel and Judah at the time they were exiled to Babylon because of their unbelieving and disobedient lives. 2 The first Israelites to return from exile to their homes and cities were the priests, the Levites, and the temple support staff. 3 Returning to Jerusalem from the families of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh were the following: 4 Uthai son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, from the line of Perez son of Judah; 5 from the Shilonites were Asaiah the firstborn and his sons; 6 from the family of Zerah there was Jeuel. There were 690 in the Judah group
