Running into the same issue with my Capra build. I shaved the Treal skid link mount down to the point where the motor sort of fit, and it’s a bit thin for my liking. I was between the Vader and the Rock Pirates skid, I ended up going RP so I can run an SCX10 style trans. Great video explaining this!
I’m glad I was able to help someone out! When I was researching there wasn’t much out there for info on the Vader skid. Awesome choice with the RP skid!
@@rjgaming7563 Definitely! I found all this out after buying the parts (thankfully Amazon has a great return policy) but I was happy to see someone clarifying compatibility.
I’m currently upgrading my Capra I have it taken apart & have the Vader skid ready to install I have the Fusion to install so I went with the Vader skid to get it in correctly. This seems like it’s going to be a great upgrade. I’ve had my Capra for quite along time but have not done anything to it other then a Reefs front servo & metal beadlocks so it was tie to update it. I have 2.2 wheels & tires overdrive gears & 90 mm Desert Lizard shocks.
Aha, I had the same breakage when I shaved down the link mount when I dropped in the Hobbywing Fusion SE. Weakened the crap out of the connection point and it broke on a bad fall. I replaced it with a PETG 3d printed skid (where I was forced to remove the dig servo) and then _that_ broke when I got into a bind. Finally gave up on all the hackery and went with the Vader skid as well - should get here on Wednesday. Plus I can put my dig servo back in! Looking forward to the upgrade.
Subbed and liked!! When I did my skid n my sporty Capra build and it didn’t work. Move up link mount on chassis side. Those skids do suck. Can’t beat the fusion!

That sounds like a beautiful setup!!

Hey, thanks for the video. I found it very useful. Can you tell me what bolt and washer kit that was at 13:38? Where can I get that? Thanks!
