Axial Capra Build Series - Part 4 - Transmission

[@carlobell2558]

Thanks again for being there for us all who needed assistance in this dope project. Peace little Brother.

[@RevolutionX]

No problem! Glad to get more people interested in this hobby and helping them along!

[@Brian_Mowry__BMOW71]

Great build series so far! Looking forward to seeing and hearing how the AXE system does. Can't wait to see Part #5 of the series!

[@RevolutionX]

🤙👍🙏✌🤜 Thank for watching dude! Tuesday! I'm finishing up the last video of the build series right now. I might reschedule the rest to be consecutive Tues, Thursday until it's finished so you don't need to wait 3 more weeks. Doesn't look like I'll be doing much running anyway with the current weather. I've been reserving Thursdays for running videos.

15:05 a small sheet op paper in between the gears if best for that

[@RevolutionX]

Yes, a lot of people do the paper method. Just do whatever you are comfortable with. I've done enough to know if the mesh is good with the way I do it.

[@ShenRC]

That looks very nice man!! bet you can't wait to get this one on the rocks!

[@RevolutionX]

Definitely can't wait. I'm done with the paint. Just gotta put on the tires and find a day to go out!

[@GURU_RCs]

Hey Rcfam you had 2 screws and then you had none only seen where 1 was screwed in 👀👀 where did you put the other screw ???

[@GURU_RCs]

Also 👊🏾😎 I did a shoutout for you on my channel when I showed off progress 👊🏾😎

[@RevolutionX]

Can you tell me what part of the video? The timestamp? I'll try to remember what I did with it. 😂

[@edcphotography8838]

@@RevolutionX 3:50. the manual shows 2 screws in the parts needed, but only shows where one goes. and at 3:50 in your video the second screw disappears after the fade

[@RevolutionX]

@@edcphotography8838 Ooooh ok. Yeah typo in manual if I remember correctly! Only 1 screw needed in that step.

[@Haddam-Sussein]

At 9:50 you're supposed to stick that hexagon to the spur and use it as a slippery clutch. Instead you greased it?

[@RevolutionX]

Yes I know that's what I'm doing. I think my using the grease may have confused you. I was using it as an "adhesive" to hold it in place to keep the slipper pad from coming out of the hexagon while I tighten it down. I just used a tiny bit to make it sticky enough to stay in the hexagon while tightening it down. Hope that clarifies what I was doing. I wasn't greasing the side of the slipper pad that goes against the slipper plate.

Great instructional series, thx

[@RevolutionX]

Hey thanks! I'm glad these are helpful to people, and it's basically the reason I make them!

[@kingstonrc329]

Yeah..... the transmission definitely takes a little time. Lookin good though 😉👌🏻👍🏻

[@RevolutionX]

I've decided to use an analog switch to control the dig. It's much easier then adjusting a 3 position for it.

[@SW23456]

Hi , I need advice. When I screw on the transmission cover after cleaning, the gears seems to be stuck when I loosen the. Cover. The gears are moving well. What could be the issue? It was installed back exactly at it was.

[@RevolutionX]

Don't overtighten the cover. Tighten it enough just to close. The cover is just there to keep as much dust out as possible and doesn't really hold the gears if I remember correctly. (I don't have it in front of me right now)

[@BryanAdamsNotTheSinger]

Did you put grease on the little clutch disc looking things? What is the reason for that? I just got my Capra finished up First kit ive ever built. Just curious if that is something important that i did not do lol

[@RevolutionX]

Are you talking about the slipper pads? It's just a little trick I used to keep the slipper pads in place so that I can mount the spur gear on without the slipper pads moving out of position. I just dab a little grease so that the slipper pad sticks in place on the spur. Use very little though. You can use the same trick on the pins for the wheel hexes on other kits. For this kit it uses a set screw so there isn't an issue, but on other kits where it's just a pin going through the axle, you can use grease to temporarily hold it in place.

[@BryanAdamsNotTheSinger]

REVolutionX RC ahh. Okay i was thinking that. I had a lot of fun building mine up until it got to installing the esc and running wires. Had everything perfect and my esc mounted on the little back part of the battery tray Then once i went to mount the “body on the drive train the tranny was in the way My motor mesh was a little too tight so pulling it apart now and did what you did with yours 👌

[@RevolutionX]

@@BryanAdamsNotTheSinger Awesome! It's great that you chose the kit and built it rather than the RTR! That's why my channel started! Get people building!

[@Rc-Adventurers]

Can I set the dig so it can give me rear free wheel, dig, and 4 wheel drive? My flysky channel 4 can be set to turn servo left center or right.

[@RevolutionX]

You know, I don't remember if there is any leeway for you to have free wheel. I'll have to check it out the next time I work on my Capra.

[@microrcobsessionsmrco4951]

Can you use the 3 positions on the dig using any 3ch radio? I'm asking cause I have a flysky gt3c radio I use on all my RC's but have never used the 3rd Chanel for anything yet.

[@RevolutionX]

Yes, you can. For the flysky gt3c, you'll have to set the neutral and endpoints on the 3-position switch.

[@microrcobsessionsmrco4951]

@@RevolutionX thanks for that info. Can't wait to get my Capra kit and get started with the build, hopefully next month.

[@jimlayhey1965]

Can you use 7.4 V to that micro server I have 1080 hobby wing ESC

[@RevolutionX]

You know, I'm not entirely sure. That's actually a really good question. Let me know if you find out!

[@jonathanmc-smith7284]

Hi I know this is a old video but do you know where I can get all the parts you have in this video please

[@RevolutionX]

Are you looking for the transmission parts? You can find most of the Capra parts on Amain. bit.ly/31FLlU3

[@jonathanmc-smith7284]

@@RevolutionX thanks for replying. I will see if they ship it to England 👍👍👍

[@operation11charlieinc]

Job well done brother like Always, 👍✌

[@RevolutionX]

Thank you brother! This was a fun build! 🤜

[@marshall3498]

I have a futaba 3pk but I have never setup a dig servo before as I have usually been a rc dirt racer any help setting it up would be appreciated thank you

[@RevolutionX]

I'm not familiar with that radio, but a quick search for an online manual shows that there is a ch3. dial. You can use that to control your dig servo on ch3.

[@VoidXRC]

Nice work :)

[@RevolutionX]

Thanks man! It's coming along!
