RC ADVENTURES - DiSCOVERiNG the CAPO ACE 1 4x4 RC Truck / Rock Buggy - 1/10th Scale Triumph Testing

PLEASE NOTE This is my FiRST time driving this machine, and I do not know its nuances or the limits yet. It is a cold day, and the snow on the ground makes my new, never-run tires seem quite stiff.. but, just like a good pair of running shoes needs breaking in - so do new tires.. Things like this is what todays discovery film is for. At the time of this filming this RC truck/Rock Buggy is PRE-RELEASED from CAPO. It's called the "ACE-1". It is a 1/10th scale Electric rig, that I am running on a 11.1v lipo battery.
I have brought this truck back from Hong Kong on a recent trip put it too the test and discover its capabilities. Today my goal is to put it through some of my rigorous paces that a trail run can take me on. Articulation, Climbing Ability, Trail Maneuverability, and Power are a few of the things I will be putting to the test. Also, the Drive Train and Suspension. Many folks have asked about the Steering Cables and if they will be a hinderance on the trail. For this, I will leave it to you to decide from the footage here in the film.
Many viewers have asked me what I think the price would be. When I was at the Asian Scale Invasion 2016, I was told it was going to be priced at less than $1000 USD. We have yet to see a price release from CAPO, but I hope I heard correctly.
I figured a narrative was the best way for me to communicate my true experience with you, instead of a music video, or an overly edited film that just highlights the fun of a trail run. A test is what we are after.. and I did my best.
A few scratches is the penalty I pay for this trail run today.. my beautiful buggy will never be the same. BUT! It was worth it, and the excitement of the hobby is it's own reward. Also, I know so many of our viewers really wanted to see a good trail video ;)
For those who are concerned about "how I treat my rigs"..
This Ace-1 was gifted to my by Capo, to use in RC Adventures. They encouraged me to take it out and put it through real world tests - just like others would use it. So, as they asked.. I use it the way I would attempt to use it any other time I was out. I feel as though it gives our viewers a more real and true-view experience of what a rig can do. I have Not been paid by Capo to do these videos.
I love going out and having fun with RC! Real-world style :) I am here to entertain the viewers with the Hobby of Radio Control. I agree, it was also painful for me to watch this beautiful rig get banged up today.. but parts can always be replaced, and body panels can always be repaired ;)

Where Country are YOU Watching RC ADVENTURES from right now!? #RCBringsTheWorldTogether !

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Hey bud, hello from Canada!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Amazing how KZbin can bring so many folks together :)

[@jernest95]

RCSparks Studio USA state of Michigan. just got into the crawler world. have a slightly modded scx10. love it, and love all the awesome videos

[@TheRealRCSparks]

*Note* - To the viewers who post that the "Tires are Too stiff".. You may be overlooking the fact there is snow on the ground.. and it is 0c degrees outside. There isn't an RC tire on the market that wont solidify in the winter.. Pitbulls, Prolines, RC4WD's, ALL of them get stiff in cold weather. Not to mention these tires are brand new.

[@10219266]

definitely was noticing those stiff tires, you might want to check out some of those new duratrax tires, I hear they work pretty well, and proline just released a bunch of new products recently you might want to check out

[@Blazed_Operator]

RCSparks Studio what's a good cheap crawler for beginners I really want one

[@KRS6296]

Young_ 88_savage a great one to start with is an Axial Deadbolt, cheap and capable

[@usa3105]

Young_ 88_savage I like the "redcat Everest 10" super cheap comes as a complete kit 135.00 ready to run

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Very impressed. I like that steering system. Innovation is what we need and Capo is trying, hats off to them. Thanks for the video Aaron.

[@Skwisgar2322]

yeah, wonder how long before we see true hydro steering.

[@x250f23x]

I made video a while ago showing a type of hydro steering. It's still up if you'd like to see

[@abrahamspiano3788]

x250f23x

[@codyogden4611]

Wow I love that terrain, and that truck is amazing! Awesome Video as always Medic

[@humblerc841]

thanks for really running this thing, and showing us what we can expect from it.

[@clarkhudnall6956]

Hey medic i have been watching your channel for a couple years now and iv been wanting a crawler for some time I finally took the plunge and got a scx10 and man i gotta say you make it look easy so keep up the good work love the vids !

[@jamesstraub4981]

OMG!!!! That Toyo Tires commercial was badass.

[@zanehopefz6hundred761]

Yes, I've been waiting for this video for the last few days LOL can't wait to watch when I get home.

[@zanehopefz6hundred761]

I love how it has a three speed transmission that you can control I also love that this video is almost 18 minutes long LOL ohh damn, that suspension flex EY....

[@TheRealRCSparks]

I wanted to ensure you guys had a good test video.. so I took it through the paces.. and filmed it all. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting

[@zanehopefz6hundred761]

RCSparks Studio no thank you for you're driving skills and you're creativity on filming all of you're videos Haha. I can. To wait to get this hopefully. I have race RC cars from 1/18 to 1/6th scale, and I'd love to give you one of my favorite's that I have owned since I have been 5 years old haha.id love it, if we could talk privately some time 😁😬😄😁😁

[@jeremys39]

RCSparks Studio have they mentioned what the US price will be

[@zanehopefz6hundred761]

jeremys39 just about under $1000.00

[@Rccrazed]

That is the best looking crawler I have ever seen! SO MANY FEATURES WOW! Great video as always Medic!

[@DayRider76]

not bad! could use softer tires on the rocks, I would love to see this setup in the mud!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

I agree.. but I think the tires will get softer with use. Just like a good pair of sneakers ;) Don't think you will see mine in the mud just yet.. it is not waterproofed as yet, and I really like having a non-squeaky truck for once.. HAHA!

[@DayRider76]

***** last winter I put a drop of motor oil on all of my bearings, no squeaks yet? But then again, I lost count of all of the axle and knuckle parts I've been through? I'm taking it out of town for a while, all out of spare axle parts, no worries though, hotel is right next to a Hobbie town!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

DayRider76 strategic planning on your part, good sir! Lol : Happy hobbying!

[@DayRider76]

***** thanks, you to bud!

[@torr1803]

[@rcgeordiecrawler2710]

I love the sound of the tyres biting to get grip. Awesome rig and awesome video 👌🏻👍🏻

[@tedsaunders3389]

hey, looking to get into the world of RC and thinking about starting with an axial bomber. i'm rather mechanically inclined and wondering if i should go with the kit or the RTR. PS watching from Chilliwack, BC

[@balzarini51]

Ted Saunders kit version if you think you can handle it. when you break something you won't be scared to death tearing it apart. you do have to source all the electronics though vs just a battery with the rtr.

[@johfyf5055]

balzarini51 what is a good first off road vehicle that is cheap

[@balzarini51]

Depends on budget and what you are into. I don't know the insides and outsides of all the cars

[@tedsaunders3389]

Could you recommend some good electronics to use. I would like to include a two-speed trans and lights

[@bobaque70]

Ted Saunders watch rc adventures tuff truck challenge.his bomber,motor smoking was winning tug of wars and made it thru mud course with ease...

[@robinj357]

thanks for keeping the hobby alive you're very inspirational

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Its great to have viewers that take the time to say something :) Have fun with RC, bud

[@EastCoastScaleCustoms]

That's an amazing truck.

[@tattoo1eg]

I know what truck I'll be adding to the collection! Thanks Medic

[@muhammedcankose9364]

[@Shane-yf2nx]

I'm going to go ahead and like this before I even watch it.......that buggy is just all out awesome

[@peaks6776]

Don't Like Please

[@Chalky.]

I've watched a lot of RC channels and I have to say the camera work in many of these videos is some of the best I've seen.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Thank you Trakker! Im glad to read that you enjoyed the cinema today.. Lol :) Cool that you commented!

[@garyblair3426]

That's the coolest thing I've ever seen in my entire life!

[@bakermob29]

That has to be the coolest crawler if seen yet.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Adam.. its very detailed. I am excited to do more with it as we go..

[@TheHappywheelsplayer]

Those Evo Head Lights and that shaft brake What a Nice and Awesome Looking truck

[@johfyf5055]

its so quiet

[@rc3151]

I can still see a heap of snow on the mountains here late April. Thanks for sharing.

[@olgabondarenko6436]

Your crawler is the coolest crawler I’ve ever seen

[@kyelean]

more fifth scale please. please, I've been with your channel for a while and I can't get enough of the fifth scale

[@AnthonySvt_]

YES! Articulation shots! Thank you Medic!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

You are welcome my friend! I was trying to remember all of the requests.. and the articulation shots were a MUST ! Thanks for taking part in the production of the show! :) Comments are always welcome

[@takeii7173]

Once again Another great video!!! And weather plays a big factor *** from the Windy City ***. Trust me we know! Lol.

[@TSully2013]

enjoying the landscape enjoying how your telln us about this rig while out on trails i am sold on her waitn for release date before hammering down enjoying all your videos dont look to bad in calgary lol vancouvers warmer little bit of rain hit n miss cold we got our sweet spots too for sure Thanks Aaron for this ...😎

[@RcNickster709]

That's a great looking truck medic. Thanks for sharing.. :)

[@DirelectRC1]

Seems like a very capable rig if you ask me! And it looks sweet!! thanks for sharing this

[@hunterreiff9644]

i got to say every single one of your videos inspire me so much and have taught me so much about rc id like get a rig like this once they relese them

[@ryandavis9507]

killer rig love watching that brake rotor turn wile it's running looks like a Rockwell axle

[@coreykishman8833]

Those diffs look amazing! I love the moving rotor and caliper, very unique.

[@Codesempire]

That was awesome to watch! The boys loved seeing this right before bed. Thumbs up!

[@lindseybarrett5251]

Yobs Lu8nkn.,ujo,íuk.

[@islandluv1]

Watching your videos has definitely inspired me to get back into RC-ing. I used to have a bunch of toy-grades as a kid, but the only "hobbygrade" I've had was an Xmods Supra from radioshack (to tell you how long ago that was...some 7-8 years or so now). Watching all your vids this past month or so (only recently found you) has definitely reignited that spark in me for sure! Keep up the great work, and hopefully some day soon I'll have my own rig to make videos of

[@RCTeamAustria]

This running video was much better than the one from capo racing :-) Thanks for sharing!

[@TeRniZek]

WOW!! AWESOME VIDEO!!

[@felixbarbeau9713]

I find that the truck have a futuristic look, it's awesome :D!

[@selightfritz642]

Love the trail videos. including the oops moments!

[@axialray241]

That was one ☝️ heck of a run 🏃🏻

[@mace2gorc872]

that's one slick looking truck. I want one just for its looks.

[@CaptainCarling]

I feel you on the scratches lol. That's what I hate about new buggies. They are better when you have a few misshaps and stop caring so much, that's when the fun starts

[@pepepoggio9751]

I'm following you from El Paso tx I'm the head mechanic in the biggest hobbyshop in the southwest and I love your videos and your impressive rc collections

[@stealthy8331]

That ACE 1 looks really good!

[@CNYRCCNYRC]

I don't care love it man every truck has its own kinks until broken in and getting good with

[@vampcaff]

the cable steering is an amazing innovation. really all you would need is a wider bumper. it's going to get stuck anyways there so why not add the extra protection. the trade offs would be worth it in my eyes. such a cool rig

[@RCCrawlerz209]

Cool lil buggy you got there, hro. Cool to see something like this out in the woods as well. Keep 'em going. ;)

[@skirmich]

DAMNNNNNN That thing looks fantastic!

[@GeneralHobbies]

that thing looks nice out there. thanks for sharing it so soon...

[@russellswinehammer772]

Awesome rig can't wait to see it after a little bit of tweeking back in the shop SOOO cool though!!!

[@kohhongkai7860]

Wow, what a ground clearance!😲

[@oldred2286]

Congratulations medic, you are the first one in the world to scratch it. lol, keep up the great work man. Always fun to watch the godfather of the rc hobby in action.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Haha! I never even thought of that..(the scratching part) too funny :) Hey man, thanks for the compliment.. but I am but a pawn in the great hobby game. Glad to see it growing so nicely around the world

[@awe_rc8380]

I think this can be the most awesome rig in the world:) sooooo BEAST!! Great crawled!

[@robertaBooey69]

One of the best looking ever made

[@TSully2013]

had to double comment while watching and enjoying still watching cheers

[@rossgross213]

dude i love your videos .. you are the first that I have subscribed to ... keep up the good work

[@Cubenga]

The truck is awesome. Authentic. Rear wheel steering would be nice too (for authenticity, and function too). You have found a perfect spot for this truck :D

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Hi Jonny! Yeah man.. I wanted to give it a good flexing shot .. and some fun terrain! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@toddyoung7562]

Beautiful rig! Great property I'd never come inside lol! Great video also!

[@johanhall1607]

I have a question . How long should you chargé A 7,2v 2000 mAh battery?

[@gwv15gv]

That is an Awesome rig can't wait to get one next year keep up the good work 👍🙌💪🏅😉🏆👍

[@lukehill6395]

looks like an epic mountain bike trail

[@Bagman57]

Needs some weight in the wheels I believe. Best looking rock buggy I've seen so far. When I saw the first pic of it, it was hard to tell if it was a real 1:1 or a RC. Wow!

[@nwhuckin7761]

That thing looks awesome! Love the scale details

[@johnkennedyk522]

wow. that's a beautiful vehicle.

[@erickluna2087]

Tulsa,Oklahoma loved the show really bad ass crawler still want one

[@Nickysix6]

this truck is amazing, truly amazing

[@Texasrccarsandtrucks]

Nice crawling, lots of great rocks!

[@rccrawler76]

wicked looking bouncer medic love watching your videos buddy,keep up the good work

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Thanks bud.. I appreciate you continuing to comment, and show support :)

[@austinromanello5543]

hello my 5 year son loves your channel and lives to drive RC.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Always doing my best to keep it family friendly for families like yours! Thanks for letting me know :)

[@kingstonrc329]

Great first look at it. Looks like it could be a great rig. Love the beefy stance, keep up the great videos medic. 👍

[@wordreet]

That thing just looks so right!

[@lucasmendoza2560]

great improvement with the filming!! great job

[@rcbulldog8698]

watching from Ontario Canada

Ok Medic, Thanks for the Video with the first test ride from the Capo Ace👍👍, it's good to see that he's out of the box still has some minor problems with the performance. I think with a few small changes and other tires he will surely get better off the ground. Maybe it also helps to put a little weight into the rims to get more pressure on the ground. Many greetings from Torro´s RC Channel :))

[@rcpete7055]

Very nice looking truck/crawler!#

[@giostealthr1]

Very excited with this RC. The steering cable is a concern but it looks very sturdy. Since the RC comes with a lot of upgrades parts. What would you change first . I'm sure a lot of comments are on the tires but you are in Canada in the winter months so I'm sure it is extremely cold right now. Great video my friend !

[@joehdiron1620]

You are truly a trooper brother. Love the choice of location. Would love to head north one day, I can only say “Bucket List!” Would truly enjoy hanging out with you and the rest of the gang up there.

[@KertGuiliani]

Looks great Medic sure I will never have one but it is cool to see one in action!!!

[@AtradiesInc]

I got ocd when it comes to my things and I am just wondering why not put a plastic clear tape coating like a screen protector type material over the car so when you do scratch it you can replace the coating and keeping the car scratch free

[@manning1181]

Nice video really enjoyed it also I like your trip to Hong Kong

[@krashkingrc9715]

awesome truck the hills and roots looked great got a few different trucks would like to try them there. like your show hope you keep on for a long time sir. that truck preformed great out of the box.

[@ctpreddog1411]

Awesome video I'm anxious to see more about this vehicle and eventually the price of it as well. I'm also anxious to see what kind of modifications you do to it in the future. 😎🖒

[@stizbodoesitw9655]

Hey medic, I have a very important question for you. Last year I bought a Traxxas stampede and I used it for 3 months and then the motor blew and it kept having problems, Im here to ask you if I should just get another Traxxas stampede or should I get an axial scx10. I have to keep in mind that I'm using it for off-roading, somewhat like project overkill when you used pinky and the trailer. I'm open to any tips on what truck I should get

[@declanthiele]

that's one baddass looking truck...

[@willgulley1277]

This rig looks sick man!

[@KrentoTNT]

So even of you do break the steering cable, it looks like a simple braided cable right? Might be an easy replacement?

[@SuperBlackCrusher]

Dear Medic, love your show. Great respect for the way you've turned your life around. In the last few months I've seen just about everything you made and I must say; you've got me hooked. Nice tutorials and lots of different subjects. Seems to me that you've gone back to toys a little bit?! Followed your live stream here in Holland; it works! Keep up the great laughs and your nice voice!

[@FrankygoestoHobbywood]

it's a nice rig... i like the shape of the body and the lights are looking good, too... the future and experience will answer lots of questions about the front axle..! ;-)

[@BeyondTheScale]

Enjoyed the video as always!

[@nathannieuwhof6936]

Beautiful RC man, can't wait for it to come out to get one myself

[@TheRealRCSparks]

I am pretty happy so far.. it put up with quite a bit of abuse and damage today. I will go through it in a future film..

[@nathannieuwhof6936]

Sweet can't wait to see more of the ace 1

[@laeykii9290]

CANT wait to purchase and customize for max performance!

[@sumitgorai5652]

im watching rc adventure from INDIA

[@harrisonm472]

You guys are the best I love you

[@adriannerygaard]

LOVE YOUR VIDEO AND VESSEL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thederrick1]

Nice love it. Would be pretty awesome to RC at a little playground like you have

[@voododd666]

good looking truck. good video 👍

[@sirus0678]

seems like the torque on the steering isn't affected as much as I thought it would be giving the cable set up. what tires are those medic?

[@jmsdishman1]

super cool . thanks bad ass.
