Your decision to discuss the technical points of the kit in voice-over, while showing the rig performing is a lesson for everyone making this kind of video.
Thank you for pointing out the "We Rock Buggies" that clears up my main concern with it's scale, paradigm shift complete. Excellent review, very thorough and helpful. Peace.
From here on out, this kit taught me. Go to the manufacturer website and check for a manual to see if there are updates. The dig box building, and driveshaft parts was an interesting learning experience. /s
OMG! The cliff launch was hilarious, the noises were BaD! Glad it was you instead of me...the ROLLoMETER is totally sick...scalebuiltrc...Thank You! Must have..

Good job on pointing out the scale aspects of this type of crawler (portals/ams/dig). I remember many years ago (before there were youtube videos of everything ever) people arguing on the RcCrawler forurms, that a "scale" build couldn't have things like 4wheel steering or front dig! Back then, it seemed like a lot of the people who were hardcore into RC and scale builds didn't know anything about 1:1 'wheelin.
Cool video, thank you. Always enjoy the "not quite right" naming of parts in the rc world "roll o meter" aka inclinometer. I remember seeing these in many toyotas
I'm glad to see that you beat the flu. I did check into the cost of flowers.(It was flowers to you or vanquish chassis kit, the chassis kit was the winner) But it was a hard choice. Good review
I would send you the chassis, but that would make the start of the third vanquish crawler and I don't want to be the person that would put you in bankruptcy. But I can send you a florida t-shirt .
Matt..... You are the WINNER in the Capra stress testing challenge!!! 😳😯😉 I of course, am so excited to get one, and know with 100% certainty that I WON'T be able to afford one. 😖😭 I'm used to it, but seeing so many people I know getting one..... you know. That was bar none, the BEST Review and Overview of this stunning new Rig!! Period. The XR length Axles brings up something for future brainstorming.... WHY NOT put them under a Wraith or Bomber!!! Axle reduction, 3.75:1 gearing and PORTALS would really be a very cool upgrade!! 😎👊 I know you mentioned the high gearing.... which for a pure Crawler isn't ideal. Two thoughts...... This could be a great opportunity for the Aftermarket to produce *Underdrive Gears* for the AR44 Diff. That could benefit more than just the Capra. 😉 And, that higher Gearing could be advantageous to People who live, maybe in a Desert 🏜..... Like, Me! Lots of wide open flat Desert, tall Dunes and Mountainous Rocks, all within 120mi of Central Arizona!!! ...... Could start a new Chapter of U4RC Competition!!! 👍👍 Or just be fun to blast in wide open spaces. Carmine ✈🚂🚙
its awesome to see that WE ROCK is gaining more traction. rock crawling has been going down in popularity so mentioning that it was designed after some WE ROCK cars is awesome to hear! hopefully Dirt Riot can get some spotlight soon!
Funniest thing... I did that this weekend too... except I broke the ears off of one of my front portal boxes. Nothing else happened. I'm impressed with how strong the rig is.
Another bang up review (pun intended!) Excited to get mine finished. What a fantastic location to crawl though, hard to find stuff like that in central VA. Great job!
Me and my grandson at a comp last weekend and he flipped his truck off a 25' cliff straight down smash it up pretty good but got home and bet it back straight. He really to go again.
Excellent review Matt. Even after watching several videos about the Capra, yours still shines brightly. Come over to the Reno area sometime...I can show you falls of several hundred feet...LOL
@@scalebuildersguild Live only 31 miles from either Donner Ski Ranch (Axialfest 2019) or Moon Rocks (lunar landscape). Plus, have the Sierra Nevadas just out my backyard. And have a guest bedroom...Wife understands my 'strange friend's. LOL
I love running my lights during the day, when is too much light ever a problem hehehe. Great video as always, and great review of what has become my favorite crawler. I think it looks cool and it does crawl pretty good right out of the box with just some small tuning. 👍👍👍👍👍 I would call the launch off the cliff and stage dive hehehe.
Yea, the Capra has become my favorite as well. Though, I did put in a remote switch on it so I can turn the lightbar/headlights on/off from my remote. Now to tie in some taillights.
You know, if you don't tighten the screws down all the way for the front hood posts, you can rotate the body clips back under the hood and make them disappear. :) I did that by accident when I first built it and decided that I was going to leave it like that.
Great review, just picked up the kit. Not real happy with the dig setup. Hoping to get a new Hobbywing Fusion 1800Kv installed and using a Savox 1210 servo for now. I thought it strange that the box has the Nitto tire logo on it with a picture of the Capra sporting Pro-line Hyrax tires then finding out there were no tires in the kit.
The one thing about this truck is the reason I am getting rid of my crawler-tuned Bomber, having to take most of the truck apart to get to the electronics.
Man them axles would be awesome on the new axial raw builders monster truck(Grave Digger RTR) as my real 83 Chevrolet Silverado or blazer body with some 2.6 fling king tires! Think that is going to be my summer build but I like that Capra in Alabama we have mud trucks and rock bouncers but the R/C version is so much easier in my 18 wheeler! That's awesome it still preformed like it did after 50' crash!! 🤘🤘
Servo on Axle, and Dig, my two favorite parts! So maybe put these Portal Axles and the Dig style slush box, running under the Jeep 2000 xj rtr. I would be set!!!
I love the XR10 and have 2 that are both in pieces. I just never have time to build them up. One is a new kit I bought online that I’ve started the build but get frustrated or just never have that much extra time and would rather use the time I do have actually driving instead. I need to find either a builder or a trade for an RTR axial rock crawler or even one of these. I am mobility challenged and tend to use most of my RCs in the house. Maybe I should make a foam course using wall insulation foam sheets.
I’ve looked at a lot. Even the Losi mini crawler. I just can’t really afford anything right now. I’m trying to contact Axial to see if they might be able to point me in a direction to a reliable builder who might be able to help. Axial is by far my favorite RC manufacturer. If I could, I would have one of each. When I first saw the Bomber I fell in love but this Capra has taken its place. Still not the MOA XR10 but it seems nice.
Yo, Traxxas! A similar RTR open-wheel rock crawling buggy sure would be nice. Ya know; something I can run using your connectors, batteries, and chargers. I don't want/need Traxx here in the hi-desert, and three axles mean nothing more than higher costs in maintenance/parts/accessories IMHO. But I'd buy a rig like this in a NY-minute.
Hi Matt, I just recently bought the RC4WD Wrangler tires that I've seen you use in the VS-410 and I believe the Ripper. I live in the same region as you in Western NY and was wondering if the Proline Krawlers are more suitable for rock crawling where the Wranglers would be better for trail running? Thank you, Matt.
Great video! Could you share a parts list for your wheel set up? I’m new to the hobby and a little lost with all the information on the Locked Up RC site. Thanks!
I am still having a hard time understanding why a dig servo needs a servo saver? Your rig is looking good I am definitely interest and and seeing some of the customization zones you make along with some of the more scale changes. I think this truck could be super cool once people start making all of the necessary modifications and of course making at their own by adding new bodies and setting up different variations. Looks good man
You mentioned shock quality seems better on the Capra and on the UMG 10in that review also. I was wondering how the shocks are holding up on the UMG10. Any leaking?
I like building more than driving sometimes :) but no tires? Which kit doesn't have tires? Or the scale /raw builders kit? Additional cost if you're not aware and not a fan about that.. Car looks cool though, specially with the portal axes..
Well it happened, it actually happened! A new rig came out with portal axles, an absurdly wide track width, non-crawler gearing, screwed up portal geometry that does not allow wheels to fit over it, a sky high center of gravity, and limited access to most components. Suddenly, portal axles are great, high CG makes it competition worthy, the gearing screwup is merely room for improvement, it's okay to immediately slap weight on it to keep it from flipping over, you just gotta deal with that pesky access problem, and that wide track width will be great in comps. I waited patiently and it happened. lol My god, Does Axial/Horizon pay your rent and power bill too!
If you think that I’d compromise my integrity for a few dollars, you don’t know me very well. Pretty insulting really. XR width axles have been around for years and comp rigs are routinely made that width for competition and added steering. Most wheels fit just fine, but that problem isn’t limited to Axial. Any portal will have that issue. And yes, portals on this platform make sense, as they’re pretty common on this style of buggy in real life. As for the rest of it, I made some suggestions for things I would do to make it even better than it already is. Does it need wheel weights? No. Would shorter shocks help lower the CoG? Yes. Is it difficult to access electronics? Yes. Could it be geared better? Yes. Did I say that? Yes. I think I presented all the points, both positive and negative pretty well. Is it still a great platform? I think so, but ultimately that’s just my opinion.
@@scalebuildersguild Well, it wasn't intended as an insult but rather a jab made in disbelief. Anyway, I finally got what I was after. I just wanted to see and hear the hypocrisy first hand. I'll not longer visit your channel.
I spoke about the shortcomings, gave some suggestions for improving it, and explained why I liked what I liked. The beauty of a review, it's my opinion. If that doesn't jive with you, there's no need to fire some low blows, just move on. Which it sounds like you're doing. Best of luck!
I don't know anything about crawlers, 4x4 and scale but, hey, you are so cool that I want a vehicle now!! What's the best car for a beginner like me ? Thank you for the vids and for the advice :)
So if you allready had an scx10 ii as a trail rig and wanted to add somthing thats more of a buggy to your collection what would you pick out of a capra and a bomber
A good question. I think I’d choose Capra over Bomber at this time. Bomber is great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s probably more suited to going fast than purpose built for crawling like the Capra.
5:40 "And uhh ... the only way to test it, (next part said quickly) is drive it off cliffs! HaHaHaHa! The look on his face and the way he said this made me loose my shit! Love it!
i never hear enough about the tx/rx combo all these releases come out with. Can you include a brief mention of that each time? Not enough people do that
Отличное видео и машина отличная! Как всегда спасибо! 👍 Портальные мосты, конечно, радуют и блокировка заднего моста тоже очень интересная задумка! Хода подвески выше всяких похвал! А монитор с сигналом переворота тоже в комплекте или это самодельное дополнение? 😅
I like the Capra I did Castle Mamba X 2850 slate motor, JX Cls HV 7346 servo...I am running my BEC at 7.4 volt and the Spertrem 107 servo is hanging in there I did have 2.2 tires on it but went to 1.9 in and removed the CC 2850 and put in a HH Revolver 1800 with a 11 tooth pinion ....its been awesome yeah the stock servo arm broke about two days later more like the huge 2.2 proline flat irons cause that...
@@bryanlarsen2330 yup, a all in one RC car. Trucks you need a few but cars 1 that does it all would be nice. Swap wheels put it in 4wd now it went from drift to rally mode all while doing burnouts.
I’m not talking about the bonus parts, I’m talking about the actual trees that contain all the parts used in the kit. Not having all that extra plastic to throw away is great.
I love your videos very much. You and Harley are always giving me ideas and really make the hobby AWESOME! What country and province or state do you live in? Thanks for the vids and always look forward to the next......
@@scalebuildersguild Thanks for the info. I had the servo on axle suggested to me as one way to solve an issue on my Element Enduro. However, I was finding it difficult to get more information on the SOA setup, so tricky to weigh my decision whether or not to invest in an after market kit.
Hi Matt, when installing the T440 servo, did you run into a problem with the servo arm hitting the front pumpkin of the front Currie axle? If so, did you have to use spacers to move the servo out? Thank you.
Don’t feel alone, we’re all mortified with your driving too.
I was channeling my inner Harley.
That made me LOL. Well said.
@@scalebuildersguild I don't think Josh will let you play with his Vanquish any time soon.

At first I thought it was a joke but damn that was way down there👏🏻👏🏻👍👍
It sure was. Took a long time to get down there! Still amazed it survived pretty much unscathed.

We’ve chucked the rig off a 50 ft. cliff and it survived should be a part of Axial’s new marketing campaign and a slogan on ever box.
Hahaha, totally right?!
"have to" put together? More like "get to" because I enjoy building kits more than running them
It's about 75%/25% for me in favor of building vs. driving!
I couldn't agree more.
RC company's love it when you buy a kit if it's defective they can blaim you for it! 😂🤣😂
I agree
Yep best part of rc building! Then you also know how to fix it !
I love the 30T Tekin! I've used it on a number of my builds as well.

M2 Acorn Wheel Studs (35) - MAG are perfect replacements on SLW hubs for the Acorn-style nut.

It likely would have, yes. ;)
Love the paint job!
Thanks!
I think we all have a set of bull horns in our bins. Axial already accidentally acknowledged the Capra looks like a Bomber.
That was a misinformed social media guy not doing his homework! 😉
Great video 😄👍.... comparing to the video you made with the Gatekeeper, I would choose the Capra. Portals and SOA makes it 😆

I'd say these are better than the UMG10, those might still be the old plastic.
I like building more than driving sometimes :) but no tires? Which kit doesn't have tires? Or the scale /raw builders kit? Additional cost if you're not aware and not a fan about that.. Car looks cool though, specially with the portal axes..
As always great video sir. If I may ask how did you paint the interior? Thank you.
I painted the main color on the inside like traditional lexan, and painted the driver figure on the outside.
I did the same thing with my Ripper but it was more like 70 ft;)
Ooof! Did it survive?
One run with Harley was ten times worse;) like a bass Fest kind of mortified by his driving:)

At least you didn't chase it off edge of cliff. Seen some close calls with less smart people.

would it help much if they had separate front and rear motors? that way you could have the dig feature or overdrive on the front and rear

So if you allready had an scx10 ii as a trail rig and wanted to add somthing thats more of a buggy to your collection what would you pick out of a capra and a bomber
A good question. I think I’d choose Capra over Bomber at this time. Bomber is great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s probably more suited to going fast than purpose built for crawling like the Capra.
Very well done review
Thanks very much!
Great video. I really enjoyed that 👍🏼
Yah man I drove my Rock Rey into a river. Just straight into it. Just pushed the trigger while on the phone. ZOOOoooommmmm
Where might I find the 4Runner RC truck you have?
I assume its a Body Shell?
3D printed body kit. Available through Manitou Liu on Facebook.
I am ALL about the bullhorns.
So I've heard! Hahaha
Nice video Matt. Lots of good info.
5:40 "And uhh ... the only way to test it, (next part said quickly) is drive it off cliffs! HaHaHaHa! The look on his face and the way he said this made me loose my shit! Love it!
Sometimes I be driving my merv and be like I can’t believe I just did that when I crash😂
Great job seriously
Thanks!
mine went down 100 ft hill rolled about 30 times into a rock bed at the bottom. broke rear axel and rear control arms capra is tough
Jim Layey I did the same 😅
i never hear enough about the tx/rx combo all these releases come out with. Can you include a brief mention of that each time? Not enough people do that
Oswalds Reef cause it’s a kit, it doesn’t come with tx/rx no kits really do
@@miketye2805 ah that's right yo my bad thanks
Отличное видео и машина отличная! Как всегда спасибо! 👍
Портальные мосты, конечно, радуют и блокировка заднего моста тоже очень интересная задумка! Хода подвески выше всяких похвал! А монитор с сигналом переворота тоже в комплекте или это самодельное дополнение? 😅
Большое спасибо за просмотр. Флип-экран является дополнением, которое было сделано для меня.
Rattlesnake!!! Love that place to play in.
I like the Capra I did Castle Mamba X 2850 slate motor, JX Cls HV 7346 servo...I am running my BEC at 7.4 volt and the Spertrem 107 servo is hanging in there I did have 2.2 tires on it but went to 1.9 in and removed the CC 2850 and put in a HH Revolver 1800 with a 11 tooth pinion ....its been awesome yeah the stock servo arm broke about two days later more like the huge 2.2 proline flat irons cause that...
Sounds like a fun, if somewhat crazy idea! Ha!
BEST INTRO EVERrrrr. ...........boom!
Hahahaha, thanks!
Good description it's not easy to spit out that much tech data
Gorgeous terrain also!
Thank you!
The inburno with a 3 position dig in the front would be cool. Someone needs to do a brushless burnout car with dig.
Jinja_RC That idea is good. It would have been cool to keep the Audi AWD for everything but the burnout and for playing around rwd drifting.
@@bryanlarsen2330 yup, a all in one RC car. Trucks you need a few but cars 1 that does it all would be nice. Swap wheels put it in 4wd now it went from drift to rally mode all while doing burnouts.
Good thing I didn't permanently change it to 2WD!
Scale Builder's Guild speaking of which, does Inburno resume next week?
Those Helios 1500 packs are all I run anyway.
They're a great little pack!
What a great video...... Thank you
Why would you not want the part trees? I love the extras..
I’m not talking about the bonus parts, I’m talking about the actual trees that contain all the parts used in the kit. Not having all that extra plastic to throw away is great.
What kind of car and body is that orange 4Runner!
I love your videos very much. You and Harley are always giving me ideas and really make the hobby AWESOME! What country and province or state do you live in? Thanks for the vids and always look forward to the next......
Thanks Ed, I'm from Toronto, Canada.
Scale Builder's Guild. Thanks for replying. I live on the other side. Vancouver Canada.
What's the performance gain by servo on axle? Thanks. Nice vid btw.
More steering torque/power. You gain some bump steer, but it's negligible.
@@scalebuildersguild Thanks for the info. I had the servo on axle suggested to me as one way to solve an issue on my Element Enduro. However, I was finding it difficult to get more information on the SOA setup, so tricky to weigh my decision whether or not to invest in an after market kit.
The scale built rc roll-0-meter. Do you have a link that helps support SBG? Or just go straight to the site.
I don't need any help, I'm good. 😉 You can check out his stuff here: facebook.com/scalebuilt/
yeah just shoot me a DM on facebook or instagram instagram.com/scalebuilt/?hl=en
Hi Matt, when installing the T440 servo, did you run into a problem with the servo arm hitting the front pumpkin of the front Currie axle? If so, did you have to use spacers to move the servo out? Thank you.
I used the kit servo arm, no clearance issues.
