New Links & Panhard Mounts For The Axial Capra Based Class 2/ 3 Comp Rig Build - Holmes Hobbies

Some more work has taken place on the Axial Capra base build. In the last video, we assembled the chassis and installed the front servo mount and transmission into the chassis as well. This rig is being built for Class 2/ 3 SORRCA competition so there is a lot of behind the scenes work going on in the design of this rig too. But this videos focus is the new Team Garage Hack panhard bar mounts and the new links. The new links of course are to secure the only Axial Capra parts to this build, the axles. Find more words of wisdom from John as he builds and tells you about the concepts of this special build.

Thanks John,I'm now getting ready to pop some capra axles under a 10iii....this helped me figure out the panhard issue. I'll custom make the rod itself,it was the axle mount I needed....thanks again.

Thanks for update John 👍. Not currently building anything right now.

Hows it going now? I was in that stage a few months ago, now im almost finished!

Thanks John. Can't wait for the next session. Would certainly be interested in building one from scratch too.

Coffee in hand good morning Mr. Holmes!

Thanks for sharing enjoying this Build. My Wraith has only the AR60 Axles left that's it but I still call it a Wraith. What the heck it's still Axial's platform. Great Build looking forward to see it done.🤘😎👍😁

Legitimate question of Smurfet. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Smurfet.....& that's why I tune in 😂

[@aljensen7779]

John, you asked us to share what we're building. To fill you in on my own initiative, I'm designing & building a Triski. Up here in Muskoka Ontario we're inundated with snow so, when life hands you lemons.... You build something with snow skis. And an aluminum frame. And a stupidly-huge brushless motor attached to leftover heli parts for propulsion. I'd leave a pic if I could. It's just too fun designing your own stuff but there comes a point where enough is enough with the numbers & the math and you just gotta build the thing.

[@buttonmanpope265]

I call mine Dave, John and Penelope.

[@coinhawk]

we need a complete parts list... looks like it will be awesome...

[@bonebox6868]

I just talked my self into swapping my Capra axles over to some new rock pirates rails and then this this video popped up. I was going to use the monkey skid and 10-II hardcore links but no I’m thinking I should get the Capra links?

[@douglaselliott8298]

I manufactured my own skid-plates for the axles/pumpkins on my Capra. Experience has taught me with my TRX-4 that the rocks can grind clear through the aforementioned with regular use. One 'Nit' to pick with Axial is not having the portal carriers on the front axle housings end removable as are the TRX-4's. Those carriers also suffer a huge amount of abrasive abuse which entails replacing the entire front axle housing when they finally fail on the Capra.

[@awesomojack]

Having removable c hubs just creates a weak point. With a price tag of $10 for a new front axle housing they are priced to be replaced anyway. If your worried about them wearing out in the c hubs and want a traxxas bolt on style then take a look at the TREAL axial capra alloy housings. They have bolt on brass c's and bolt on rear brass portal boxes just like the trx4

[@douglaselliott8298]

@@awesomojack It's NOT pricing that bothers me; it's time, trouble, and logistics. I rent a 200sqft bedroom in a single-family home. This does NOT allow for a workbench with an 8000-lumen work light and every other appurtenance common to an RC hobbyist. Hence, RC 'kits' are out of the question, and every repair or upgrade a logistical challenge.

[@seanhamilton4175]

No link set I've ever bought has included instructions. How hard would it be to include a piece of A4 paper with 1:1 pictures so you know what's what??

[@danielbarker9647]

Hey brother, I got a crawl master expert 540 for Christmas, what size is the motor shaft? for a new pinion gear.

[@indybama80]

Lmbo, that was random. Im sure smurfette was poppin them out left n rite lol

[@wildsau1965]

is it possible to put these axles onto an scx10

[@buttonmanpope265]

Where’d you get the Capra axles from including the portals and little alli part?

[@thomasdavison7184]

Good evening Mr. Holmes. Can you please tell me why you are going with the 3 link with pan hard bar instead of the 4 link? Please excuse my ignorance but I thought the 4 link was a more capable setup . I am building a Capra kit now with your Puller Pro 540 BL and a Castle Mamba X now. Just trying to learn what I can man. Love your channel sir.

[@matty8272]

When describing the pan hard mount i believe the word you wanted was "leverage". Looking forward to this build.

[@ConsciousnessAndScience]

I wanna build a rig with that chassis so bad.

[@JDobbs726]

I call my capra Darth Crawl as given to my previous crawler buy a friend

[@TheImtoomuch]

Why do you prefer the Capra portals over the TRX-4 portals? I'm sure the width has something to do with it. Any other reasons?

[@dway100]

Will the HH chassis be available for purchase?

[@doug148877]

I want one too!

[@billderas3420]

Me too.

[@OpSic66]

Gonna go out on a limb and say.... The longest link bent on both ends in the same direction and angle. Is your Toe / Steering Link. The two odd shape not matching links: Shortest one = pan hard, longer one = drag link. But that's just my guess.

[@PhoenixRCCrawler]

Directions are always needed. 👍🏽🐒🇺🇸
