Stretched Capra on 2.2’s

[@danielkonrad1444]

I love your testing of things, thats what people want to see.

550 motor+ 4ws + 2,2 and dig function... Another level truck! I love this thing! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!!!

[@Stickies72]

This is great, I really like that your changing things up and seeing how it works. I am sure that you have brought about a lot of ideas of different things people can try. Thank you for sharing all of your tests with us!!! Great Video👍👍👍👍👍

[@Houleigan]

Man that Capra of yours just keeps getting better! Awesome run and it blows me away that you do that one handed. I tried and my hand just hurts (arthritis) Keep up the great work!

[@paulschryer8308]

Your custom Capra looks perfectly awesome !! Not too flashy, and great wheel & alum.-panel match ! 👍👍 Keep doin EXO 🤘 -ROCK ON !!

[@ExocagedRC]

Well, its got yellow now...edit, lol wrong capra lol the new caprbouncer has yellow on it.

[@trailcrawler2038]

It's looking GREAT! I ended up (by mistake) launching mine off of a 25' ledge and only broke the arms off of a portal box. These are tough rigs. While it is down, I think I'm going to go ahead and incorporate some of the changes you made on mine. 4WS and 2.2s are definitely in the mix.

[@Jeepy84]

Great stuff as always Joe, i think it looks more proportionate with a werock with your set up as well as functions much better.

[@JoeCools]

I would like to see an actual side-by-side comparison of the before and after extensions also a challenge for you to put for wheel steer in the VS4-10 PHOENIX PORTAL. I just got mine today. I'm still on the fence as to which electronics I put in it. My goal is to make. It's a great rock crawler. I love to rock crawl and don't care about going fast; I'm slow; go and climb, baby, climb. 😆 Thanks in advance /Joe

[@nitrocrew_]

Killer mod I did the 1.9 stretched on a 2.2 and worked well gotta try this now....great vid.

[@bendutfield2524]

You are the crawler king 👑

[@dirtrider88]

What driveshafts did you use? Also one of the links for the links doesnt work anymore so whats the difference between them? Thats expecially confusing because the link you labeled "traxxas links without balls" has balls in the links

[@joshuaverdoni1748]

What extended drive shaft tube did you use? Great job showing us everything... really helped me out!!

[@kez850]

Did you ever figure it out? Eyeballing this mod pretty soon

[@GrimJerr]

That's almost exactly the Capra I was envisioning for my next build. But i hadn't considered 2.2" wheels. I decided i wanted a competition style crawler with Dig. All Reefs Servos and The XR10 Combo w/G3R Motor.

[@ExocagedRC]

Very nice man!

[@jonathanbuttrey77]

​@ExocagedRC how did you get the 5525R Traxxas rod ends on? They aren't threading for me.

[@redline3036]

I'm gonna call it the exopra mod. I did it looks nice I'm planning on 2.2 I think that's what the capra should have had stock but liking what you did and doing you set up as we speak on my Capra. Printing the skid as well and putting the ol' 3 gear trans from the scx10 in it. Buddy really wants to use the dig on his 10.3 so giving him my servo since they are hard to get.

[@vincec9451]

Grate job. Always taken it 2 the next level

[@davidmedley5970]

Nice performance. I’m about to buy a Capra and I have been wanting lots of videos to learn about the four wheel steering. Where is your course?

Nice crawling action nice set up info great video

[@billderas3420]

Great stuff Joe.

[@brc537]

Great setup, that thing is a beast!

[@dirtrider88]

5:01 if you crab walked right there before going into normal 4ws it would have brought your rear right to where it needed to be. there were other instances of the same thing happening. sometimes when you want to make a turn you first have to crab walk, usually just 6 inches or so, to get the rear aligned.

[@austinrupard9073]

Can't help but notice, you would totally benefit from using a flysky gt5 so you can have independent control of your rear steering.

[@lacos1795]

Thats the setup man, awesome work!!

[@pauls1816]

I think I found me a 2.2 rig. Thats amazing

[@tomandrews5392]

Great idea this is a must be .....

[@FPVTough]

Which driveshaft tube/spline did you use for the rear? Very interesting!!

[@TheMilesd2]

Any answer on this??

[@travisgross9570]

[@Worldoversea]

Very nice. How do you like the extended wheel base with the 1.9 tires instead of the 2.2? Have to tried to extend just one end instead of both? Thanks.

[@lrburns4]

Sorry if you covered this somewhere else, for rear steer did you have to change out links in the rear?

[@ExocagedRC]

Nope, stock links are perfect

[@Tuidkskiwjdhdbd]

Really enjoyed the blooper in this video lol also my capra kit will be here tomorrow what should I put in it for crawler but more hill climbing and trail running brushless I'm sure but what setup if you could pick any out of everything

4wsteering ? Can it be changed while moving ! Or must u stop the truck to change??:)

[@mortenfosse1808]

[@rkd350z]

Joe, what did you use to extend driveshafts? Can you shine some light on me please?

[@ExocagedRC]

I had a bunch of WB8 driveshaft parts from other builds so I mix and matched them to extend them out.

[@rkd350z]

@@ExocagedRC got it. Thank you! Just ordered wild boars 👍🏼

[@emilgabl9069]

Did you have to do anything special when you put on the 2.2’s. I tried to put on my Capra and the wheel toed in...?!?

[@ExocagedRC]

Just changing tires shouldn’t change the toe-in.

[@klampykixx]

It definitely looks like a boss setup like that. Strangely it even seems to have maintained it's proportions with the longer wheelbase. I like how candid you are with your vids, I have those mini speech trip ups all the time and know how ya feel. Impressed you didn't edit yourself . Still not sold on the voodoo rubber compound after seeing your g8 vs predator vids but it's definitely looking better each tweak

[@scottsoffroad]

That is exactly the Capra I want.Don't want to go through all the research & parts buying/engineering to make one.Take my money Friend. Lol ...Ps do you have a build list for this on any of your videos? or could you share it some how ?

[@ExocagedRC]

Basically the info is in the video descriptions on what it has. I’ve done so much with it, what do you need to know about it? Maybe I can help directly.

[@bitterm3]

Exocaged RC what are the driveshafts you’re used in the rear? Others have asked as well. Part number?

@@ExocagedRC Most of your links in the description don't populate. Can you please update?

[@brianonthego]

I subbed. Really interested in getting an Capra 1/10 buggy. Is the rtr worth while?

[@ExocagedRC]

RTR is ok but simple mods make it way better

[@brianonthego]

@@ExocagedRC I was looking at the rtr electronics...looks like they could not have gone any cheaper. I need to find a list of components to finish the Capra kit so I could get a price idea.

[@RVEmcee]

You said that you had to do some driveshaft work. What did you do? Thanks!

[@markspringer2063]

What 2.2 tires do you recommend for the 4WS Capra?

[@Josepharrington-j6w]

Joe what aftermarket rod ends work with vanquish links if you don't mind?

[@douglaselliott8298]

By the looks of it, the 2020 crawler competitions will be a sea of Axial Capras. And 4-wheel steer Capras in the pro/modified competitions. Every other truck will be inherently handicapped. I love my two Traxxas RCs and Traxxas products/support in general. But the Traxx, their new MB 6X6, and the 4S capable MAXX are simply gimmicks IMHO. Conversely, Axial's Capra is as serious as a heart attack in its purpose.

[@dirtrider88]

why not put all the stretch in the rear to get more weight forward?

[@scrc1]

I’ve enjoyed watching the progression of this rig, nice job 👍🏻 Question for ya, dig versus rear steer, which is better at this point Capra wise?

[@ExocagedRC]

Steve Chadwick it depends on the obstacle. They both have their advantages.

[@scrc1]

The reason I’m asking is because I’m trying to decide which to pursue for my Bomber build, which spends time strictly crawling. In this video, it seems your 4 wheel steering really works to your advantage. Do you have a specific recommendation for a crawling Bomber as far as steer vs dig?

[@ExocagedRC]

Steve Chadwick yeah on a bomber do 4ws. Less driveline issues to deal with. Plus when going fast you can turn off the rear steer.

[@aa-ron3782]

Hi, I recently put 2.2 swamper XL(G8) on my Capra, it tips over quite a lot more than with the stock tires, it's very bouncy like it's not heavy enough to compress the tires, seems like they are just too big. Is there a way to make them work or should I get something different?

[@jarbo7818]

Question...Currently building the Capra, when using a higher voltage servo with a CC bec, will this isolate the high voltage so the dig servo isn't damaged (stays at a lower voltage)? Or do you need to wire differently ?

[@ExocagedRC]

Jarbo you will need a bypass adaptor. You can get them premade from Holmes Hobbies or make your own. The bypass will allow the bec to power the servo you want and not affect anything else.
