[@JUSTHAVEFUNRC]

Need a poizd chassis for the utb18.

[@HobbyDrop]

Dude that would be cool! Haha

[@westdesertwheeler]

Good points for sure man! I still make mistakes building or mid build realize it needs something different

[@HobbyDrop]

Do you? Haha that give me hope then for sure! I’ve got lots of vanquish axle questions when you’ve got the time 😂

[@CasperRc81]

That’s looks awesome dang I like that a lot. Maybe rear spring rate needs softened or tires hard? I’m not judging. I did this last year idk September October maybe through the new year built my rock pirate interceptor chassis scx10ii based. It’s fun but I have this toyzuki chassis v2 I think I want to take my 4ws Capra axles shafts and links to transfer. But then I drive my Capra and don’t want to do that. It’s like a good Mexican restaurant so many choices. This looks great 😊 I like g8 with heft only but I’m sold on going with greens jconcepts tusk etc. everything I watch with them are doing work will See.

[@PleasureAfterWorkRcCrawlers]

If you have a chance to try some class 1 tires on those portals, then try them before changing your rig …soft inserts (Proline Class1 inserts are way too big), and no dual stage…you will be surprised 😉

[@HobbyDrop]

Class 1 tires eh? I’ve never driven those. Haha that would look so weird on this rig

[@PleasureAfterWorkRcCrawlers]

@@HobbyDrop ...class1 4.19s work great on portals when the inserts are wright 👌

[@lifeofnozzy]

My rig is straight axle, which I think it was designed for and think if it was on portals it wouldn’t perform the same

[@HobbyDrop]

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. I know the design of the chassis runs straights too

[@Loomis_Fishin]

I agree with you. I started a build for a c1 and the more i worked on it the more i realized that I’m not a c1 guy so i sold the chassis kept my axles, motor and trans. I will be building a coyote chassis on ar45p with a bta mount. I’m not really a portal guy but will see. If I don’t like them i will be going straight axle as well.

[@HobbyDrop]

Haha dude I traded for a 10iii gladiator thinking I’d like the scale stuff, but really I wasn’t about it. They look sick, but performance is definitely my preference. A coyote chassis will be sick. I’ll build one of those at some point too. Hopefully you like the portals. I’m kicking myself for not just starting with f10s

[@SMCracing]

Been following your channel for awhile now. Awesome rig you built and I am sure with the changes it will perform as good. If you’re going to run straight axels check out the dlux od3 trans great little transmission with over drive. If you get rid of those capra axels please let me know.

[@HobbyDrop]

Thanks for following along! That’s always cool to hear. Od3…ok good to know thanks! Haha yeah it’s basically like starting the build over 😂 I’ll keep you in mind for sure if I sell the Capra axles!

[@donniehunter309]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Its helpful as I plan my first full custom build.

[@HobbyDrop]

Eyyy the video is worth it then! I’m stoked to hear that! Thanks for letting me know

[@WandererOfTheDesert]

Zak, amazing rig, you have there. I'm in the process of getting parts to do my ground up build. I went with Rock Pirates chassis and F9 axles and no rear steer. Will take months to finish. Stay safe, my friend.

[@HobbyDrop]

Slow is smooth! Why did you choose F9 over F10? I’m super unfamiliar with vanquish!

[@WandererOfTheDesert]

@HobbyDrop f9 are what came on the Capra stock Axial Housing already had as backups for my Capra and had no problems with them. I'm not sure what transmission I will be going with. 3 gear 3 gear vanquish or a portal trans.

[@juancarlosruiz1985]

Show use your work bench and how you modify things.

[@HobbyDrop]

Hmmmm I don’t feel qualified to be giving that kind of advice 😂 I’ll see what I can come up with!

[@smokin0137]

From my experience, all the overdrive is killing the performance. To much wheel slip. If all four wheels are matched in rotation, you will maximize traction. Small amount ok but not 40 percent. Looking forward to more. Thanks for sharing.

[@HobbyDrop]

Overdrive will throw off traction a little on side hills. But it should help with uphill climbs. I believe I’ve got….20 or 30….percent

[@smokin0137]

@@HobbyDrop but it wasn't helping. More weight on the front?

[@HobbyDrop]

@@smokin0137 more weight up front is what I’m thinking may help. But we’ll try the new axles too 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@RandallRCTherapy]

Thanks for the shoutout! ❤ great video

[@HobbyDrop]

Heyyy RC Therapy haha it’s a real thing!

[@tjpighin]

What makes this car not legal for class 3

[@HobbyDrop]

For our areas comps specifically. Idk about other comps. But it’s not legal because the chassis is too short in relation to the wheelbase

[@annaharpley1673]

Great video man! is the poizd running any over or underdrive ?

[@HobbyDrop]

Thanks! Yeah it’s got 30%

[@annaharpley1673]

@@HobbyDrop thats sweet ! i was wondering if you planned on doing any more midi scale stuff cause i recently built a 1/24th scale truck and cashed out and it pretty much destroys anything you put in front of it 👌

[@HobbyDrop]

@@annaharpley1673 I might do some mini Capra stuff, but I sold/traded all my 24th scale rigs

[@NE_RC]

I'm slowly gathering parts for my build. Can't wait :)

[@HobbyDrop]

ATA boy. That’s the way to do it!

[@chadschneider4856]

What width hubs you running on these axles mate. Cool rig.

[@HobbyDrop]

I’m honestly sure, they came with the wheels. You could use the link in the description to see the details tho

[@chadschneider4856]

@@HobbyDrop doesn't say. Thought you might have a gauge by eye? They like 6mm hubs or 14mm hubs type thing

[@HobbyDrop]

@@chadschneider4856 ahh, I’d say in the 6mm range. I can check when I get home tho!

[@chadschneider4856]

@HobbyDrop what is your Facebook account? I'm still interested in getting a capra cage front body mount like in your video.. swe spoke about it but never got to ordering it..hope I can help one.

[@HobbyDrop]

@@chadschneider4856 absolutely! It’s The same logo and it’s just “Hobbydrop”. Nice and easy!
