H10 Optic Vs Axial Capra! Crawling Comparison

[@scalebuildersguild]

Just love watching your stuff Logan, great to see comparos like this as well!

[@westdesertwheeler]

Always appreciated Matt, thanks for watching!

[@CRAZYBUILD349]

The capra stold my heart years ago!!!!!!!!, just a sweet ride,,

[@marc9164]

Capra for the Win. I base my Capra builds off your experiences.

[@alans4281]

One hundred thumbs up for saying what you believe.

[@dkmgm2011]

Capra is the goat. And i miss it dearly.

[@Krazy4KVs]

"versus" videos are always tough to do. No feasible way to make them scientific but still fun to see the Capra's closest competitor go H2H with it on some awesome terrain! Nice job Logan. Those CnS super swampers look 👌on the ol Optic

[@erichawkins6231]

I also oan a h10 and a Capra but my Capra is straight axle ar45s with your panhard/servo kit

[@StephenElsworth]

I'm still crawling a rr10 2 bomber. Not much in the driveline stock. Biggest downsides are cage weight, steering angle and belly clearance. But still gets into and out of some narly places.

[@mattabe86]

Good stuff Logan. Thanks for the comparison. Love both of mine for different styles of driving. Keeping the H10 as a trail truck

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Always love 1V1 comparisons! Mods aside, pretty much what I expected. The Optic is a competent crawler, just not at the same level as the Capra. Pick the truck that suits your needs but, really, can't go wrong with either truck! Thanks for the video! 👍

[@westdesertwheeler]

Exactly, well said

[@creelus3983]

Really like this comparison I would love to see more videos comparing these two on similar tires just to try to find the differences. Thanks always love the videos!

[@Toodles77]

I mean they are both proline G8s. Just different tread if ya think about it they’re pretty close

[@moosejawrc]

love both but favor the Optic for scale reasons and potential which direction to go with it. Racing was just offered with local group. Great Video!

[@CrawlerRuth]

Awesome comparison video. Appreciate you sending time in the heat to give us great content. Hope to get the chance to meet you at Pro-Line by the Fire this year.

[@prinznapp2018]

The Capra did great, so glad i bought the kit few years ago... Awesome rig

[@tiborbeetles1882]

I just recently used my Capra on some serious rocks having done the 4WS conversion to it and it was so much fun. I was really interested to see the Optic and I agree it looks good, but it just doesnt seem to do anything better than my Capra, Ecto or Bomber added to that they are crazy expensive over here in the UK so I won't be getting one. Love your videos, very jealous of that amazing landscape you have to play on!

[@ExpensivewheelbarrowRC]

Love the video man, I’m really intrigued to see how good you get that optic!

[@GrimJerr]

This is a showdown I can appreciate as I have a Capra and was wondering if it would be worth the time and money to get an Optic. It's nice to see the hydraulic ram steering working and the Optic out crawling. I'm thinking another VRD Carbon for a project next, but next year I might be planning a scratch build of an H10, lots of 3rd party goodies showing up. Thanks for the comparison, watching for a rematch at full throttle 😉✌

[@BROCSRC]

great comparison. both Buggies look great and I like them both. Big plans for my H10

[@AZrcUnkaiged]

Dont have the Optic, still love my Capra.

[@SierraCrawler530]

My capra 4WS is an absolute GOAT 🐐 completely vanquished out with vanquish f9 portal axles f and r with incision overdrive gears and vanquish 3 gear transmission reefs 900smart servo front amd rear with vanquish kmc tank 1.9 with brass inner wheel clamp rings and ssd brass portal knuckles and covers front and rear. With incision links. And gearhead lights like the koh in the rear, not really a fan of the h10 myself but the capra is one of my favorite rigs!

[@Southcoast_rc]

The video I’ve been waiting for since the h10 came out 🔥🔥 🤙🏽

[@westdesertwheeler]

Nice!

[@StevenYDG69]

I’m surprised that I prefer my H10 over my Capra. Fusion se, raw 500, some over drive hardened gears up front (haven’t killed the rear yet). Riding on some 100mm desert lizards and treal wheels/Treps. It’s a killer, for what it is.

[@westdesertwheeler]

I definitely like my H10 I will continue to use and drive it and modify it more as needed. Just a fun comparison to see how each does

[@donniehunter309]

Great video. I have both, and love both.

[@ShiftingPerspective-Outdoors]

What camera do you use? Amazing quality bro

[@MysticRiverRC]

Brilliant comparison.

[@ADDHobbies]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@Gibsonlife573]

Just got some really bad to the bone stuff for a baby Capra I don't really have a place to crawl I'm more into the smaller stuff right now but I think I'm going to go ahead and build it cuz it has a set of badass tires with it awesome Deluxe transmission and 380 revolver from Holmes hobby that's got his version 3 ESC lot of killer stuff I just got to get some axles and some links would you recommend just running plastic axle housings with the brass upgrades and big boy Overdrive I tell you now I have a nest my smaller stuff to be able to run 37 percent I like it a lot it does have its downfalls especially when you're trying to pull up something super straight up and down it's like you're having to drag that rear axle too much

[@Evolution8R]

sweet climb Pete

[@Gibsonlife573]

And also came with the deluxe Fab drive shafts Deluxe Fab chassis for the UTB 18 I mean it's got a lot of killer stuff with it

[@Krazy4KVs]

Also, we need a cooling Go Pro case for the extreme summer recording sessions.

[@robgoffroad]

I'm considering selling my H10... haven't had time to even use it yet. I put metal wheels on it and that's it. Also gonna sell the Fordyce because it has never seen dirt either.

[@Darwin.B]

I'm curious if the 12.0" wheelbase of the wraith1.9 is a factor for doing the sidehill w/ the ledge

[@westdesertwheeler]

It was 12.3 but it’s a possibility

[@joeycrookshanks2868]

How's it goin man. I'm stuck btwn 2. Bully moa 2. Or the rhino yue crawler. My kids wana get into crawling. We got a ryft and capra and they wana do more. What's your opinion or n e 1 elses opinion

[@vlozity]

whats wrong with a Revolver 2500kv and H,H. v3 ESC compared to a fusion esc? Not a fan of the length and the weight of the fusion.

[@westdesertwheeler]

It was cogging and overheating my ESC and motor to where it would no longer drive forward my fusion doesn’t do that.

[@Toodles77]

Crazy you think it was the gearing

[@vlozity]

@@westdesertwheeler sorry to hear that. H.H. did released a new revolver motor designed specifically for AM32 based esc (v3).

[@Team_ReVolt]

Lovely dual test! What servo do I need for that keep the chassis down mechanism?

[@westdesertwheeler]

Reefs 99 micro winch

[@HoundStuff]

Pretty cool! Nice work. Maybe an Optic vs. Fordyce video in the future?

[@westdesertwheeler]

They’re not very similar seems like an odd comparison

[@HoundStuff]

@@westdesertwheeler I was thinking just because they are both VP RTR trucks. Not that they are similar beyond that. Just to see how the performance differs in RTR offerings from the same company since many people seem to take both on the rocks. Given that they are different it might be interesting to see how it actually turns out.

[@Gregg-868]

Did you ever figure out the GT5 steering issue?

[@jakequaempts5234]

Great video just waiting to see if the next one is gonna be rc or full scale 🎉🎉🎉

[@RadonManRC]

Nice! Thank you for sharing!

[@OutlawFarmersRC]

Surprised you got rid of the Chupa Capra! It was so good.

[@PSF_RC-PatSmageFilms]

Good stuff! Both look like fun rigs. Sorry if I missed it, but is the Capra stock length/width or stretched a bit?

[@westdesertwheeler]

It’s barely stretched revo rod ends on just the front side of the front links

[@PSF_RC-PatSmageFilms]

@@westdesertwheeler thanks for the info, looks really good!

[@nickbreen849]

Hey I like my redcat ascent it’s my first 1/10 crawler

[@Toodles77]

What springs are u running on Capra shocks

[@Cooldibs]

were you not happy with the revolver and HH esc?

[@westdesertwheeler]

No it cogged horribly and overheated in the optic

[@forrestcrabbe]

Awesome 🤘

[@darinkaintz386]

Nice driving.

[@Toodles77]

I own both and they each have their advantages…my Capra is 4WS tho and stretched to 14.25” so it’s really not a comparison

[@WOLFTRAXRC]

Just what the doctor ordered. What a coincidence. This popped up 💥💥💥

[@Toodles77]

Can’t wait to put my new Capra build up against my optic! ( once I get all the bugs out of Capra)

[@jasonsaulten4980]

You should do two of the same car with krawler tires vs treps vs swampers

[@Toodles77]

Do u prefer straight or high clearance links on the Capra and why?

[@westdesertwheeler]

Straight, it’s a portal buggy it has clearance

[@vdel9036]

Another Gopro overheat ! They should supply a full ice water bucket with all their cameras, or release a water cooled version...😉

[@westdesertwheeler]

I’m in for a cooled version lol

[@RiceCrisp320]

Every time I see the H10 I'm just less and less interested in it... The Capra is the option for me!

[@hotboyracing]

I would tell you to get a insta360 instead of a go pro but I sent mine in for repair and they claimed they lost it and won’t respond to my messages now

[@Toodles77]

Oh wow!

[@postalacidity]

Looks like the H10 could use a touch more overdrive. 27/8 gears in the front.

[@eriku7205]

Finally!

[@bsfunk44]

I think they both have their place, Capra performs better but the H10 looks better

[@speedfreak8200]

Nobody believes me but I've found the absolute best battery for the Capra .... Spectrum Smart Lipo 1300 mah 3S 11.1 V 30C .... run time over 40min. Fits so nice with room to spare. Harley didn't want to believe me, but I took a chance a few years ago and I'm glad I did. I also use it in my Ridge Rock. I'm very happy with the whole Spektrum batts./ Chargers/batt. checker. For Tires ● Mud Slinger XL 2.2 ● RC4WD ● Very Soft Sticky. Please give them a try .... thx for the video

[@fuse557]

Capra is my best rig!

[@Yan7001978]

The H10 should have 4ws and better capability than the capra. I'm pretty sure the guys at VP knows how to "blow the doors off 😏" any rtr crawler.

[@noobflyer1]

love it, if they were the same it would be pretty boaring :)

[@Toodles77]

Lil FYI everyone, scx10 pro $100 off on horizon

[@mosslager]

That Capra is dialed

[@justinvess9667]

I think the h10 just looks way better than the Capra and you can’t beat the way a vanquish truck handle’s weather it’s crawling or trailing

[@frankie2499]

Foams on the vanquish look too stiff

[@westdesertwheeler]

SL3D squidncerts they’ll soften up a bit with use

[@JamesBond-hz2tn]

Capra wins 🏆

[@DickeyDana-d9r]

Koby Loaf

[@richardpotter5854]

Just a better built capra
