H10 Optic vs the Axial Capra! Which is best??

[@gsrkila]

So glad you did this, can't believe nobody's done this yet. I thought WDW would for sure, Logan has done so many Capra videos that I thought for sure he'd do one before anyone. Right on!

[@HobbyDrop]

Haha right?? Logan still has the ability to do it tho, cause he has a Capra still. That would be sick. Thanks for the comment!

[@donniehunter309]

Great comparisson! I am amazed at how many don't know what a trail buggy is. I have seen the Optic called modded and reviewed like it is a comp rig, a bouncer, an ultra four. The two buggies are modeled to resemble the front motor rock buggies that are mainstream in the west ( Hulse, Sasquatch, Red Dots) It is a great RTR and a great base for any of those type builds which is the great part about it, versatility in a cage based rig.

[@HobbyDrop]

Exactly! I’m stoked to see what I can turn this thing into, cause it looks so good on the rocks!

[@WandererOfTheDesert]

Great video, my friend. The Capra is a rock crawler and the H10 is a trail rig. But love them both. Again great video stay safe and keep crawling

[@HobbyDrop]

Ima turn this bad boy into a rock crawler! That’s the goal :)

[@smokin0137]

The Capra is a (UTB) ultimate trail buggy.

[@smokin0137]

The Capra is a trail buggy (UTB). Saw coments calling it a crawler. H10 needs a Fusion. Nice comparison. Thanks for sharing.

[@HobbyDrop]

Haha that’s a good point 😂 I’ve already got the fusion in it, video coming soon!! Thanks :)

[@ShoddyRC]

Also, watch the passenger inside sidewall of the tire on your optic. They rub badly on the knuckle and I didn’t notice until I ruined 2 tires.

[@HobbyDrop]

Oh that’s good to know! I’ll have to look at it. Thanks man! Is that with the stock wheels and tires?

[@ShoddyRC]

@@HobbyDrop it happened to me on the stock wheels and tires, and a set of j concepts landmines on stock width ssd rims.

[@HobbyDrop]

@@ShoddyRC oh that sucks! Ok I’ll keep an eye out! Thanks

[@ripum1]

After driving both would you say with the right mods that the H10 could be a better crawler than the Capra? Great video btw, Nice comparison of the two.

[@HobbyDrop]

Thanks man! I think it could be a good show down if both were 4ws. That would be a fun upgrade. But I do think this transmission and the servo placement could allow it to outshine a capra

[@bsfunk44]

The Capra is aimed at rock crawling and the Optic is aimed at trail driving. They're both cool though and that's why I have one of each. I'm definitely modding my Optic to make a better crawler out of it but I don't expect it to outcrawl a similarly modded Capra. They both have their own appeal.

[@HobbyDrop]

That’s a fair point for sure. Ima see how capable I can get this thing tho!

[@twissted1277]

I have the first Capra. No rear steer.

[@HobbyDrop]

@@twissted1277 the OG! Haha that’s cool

[@ShoddyRC]

The gear noises coming out of the Capra are crazy!

[@HobbyDrop]

Right?? Haha the old audio quality doesn’t help either haha

[@ShoddyRC]

@@HobbyDrop and these stock cars really show how good your other cars are.

[@HighhScore]

Maybe cause the Capra is closer to a weroc moon buggy. The optic is more on the rock racer Ultra 4 type buggy.

[@Toodles77]

Stock foams in optic?

[@HobbyDrop]

Correct 👍🏼

[@Honoluluairsoft]

I feel like the H10 is more comparable to a gatekeeper since they are both straight axles

[@HobbyDrop]

Yeah I see what you’re saying. I guess the gatekeeper doesn’t even come to mind for me and a capable rig. 😂 but I’ve never driven one so I can’t say that with any moral authority

[@donniehunter309]

No, the Keeper has C channel frame rails and is just an Ecto with a cage. Very capable, I absolutely love and beat on mine, but its not a true buggy.

[@oldmanjeepingandbiking9621]

The gatekeeper is a standard chassis with a tube body that can be taken off and replaced with any other body. It is also trailing arm rear suspension

[@HobbyDrop]

@@donniehunter309 oh I didn’t realized it had frame rails. So it’s not really a tube chassis rtr

[@donniehunter309]

@@HobbyDrop Yeah, I tossed the cage on mine long ago for a lexan Jeep body, and am about to swap it all over from rails to a Capra cage like I did my 10.2 rig. Doing so lost 1.2 pounds of sprung weight from the 10.2, its planted now.

[@markcole6475]

Imo the bomber is more of a comparison to the Optic…

[@HobbyDrop]

Isn’t the bomber built as more of a rock bouncer? It definitely has a similar vibe tho, being front steer only.

[@markcole6475]

@@HobbyDrop yes, but in many ways so is the optic….not really a purpose built crawler either… I have done some crawling with my bomber and it does about as good as the optic ..

[@HobbyDrop]

@@markcole6475 true, it definitely wasn’t designed to be a crawler. But with the trans, over drive and servo behind axle. It’s got some good potential! :)
