I think that blur helped smooth out the terrain!

Great video! I really liked the running footage with commentary. I have been running a custom 4WS Capra and love it. I’m sure many more people will realize how fun it makes the Capra.

I wanted a 4ws rig but since Axial doesn't offer a kit version of theirs, I bought the 2ws Capra kit and converted it. I modified the cage to clear the servo and moved the servo back 5mm to clear the receiver box. I use a 6 channel TX so I have independent front/rear proportional steering, functional dig and can turn my lights on/off via a switch on the TX. My radio system has telemetry so I get feedback on the rigs battery without having to buy a special battery. The way the controls are setup I never have to take my hands off the TX and never have to take my eyes off the rig. The motor is a Hobbywing Quicrun Fusion Pro with built-in ESC and FOC. This makes it much easier to fit everything in and wire it up. Normally in order to get the dig function, you have to buy a specific Spektrum servo because a key part required to use the linkage included in the Capra is not included in the kit and only comes with said Spektrum servo. I got around this by 3D printing my own adapter in order to use which ever servo I wanted and the included servo saver dig linkage. Pretty shady of Axial if you ask me. Still, I love my 4ws Capra. It's one of my most capable crawling rigs.

I’ve been wanting a capra since they first came out but keep getting distracted with other vehicles. After this video I’m sold on the four wheel steer Capra.

Nice video, I turned my capra to 4ws and I love it. It's a very capable rock crawler. John

Capra seems to be the best rock crawling.
It's like climbing a spider attached to a rock.
YouTuber's rc car control is like a pro. it was a great video👍👍👍

Excellent video, enjoyed learning the updates and watching it run the course. I just found out, and used a program card on the firma 40. Makes a huge difference!!

Great video Josh! The rig looks like a blast to drive. Really enjoyed the comp course footage!

There is no drag brake box stock. I bought the same Currie edition, I put a 1080esc with the stock 35t motor and changed the pinion to a 13t and now it has plenty of drag brake. And I’m using a fly sky gt5 and I can adjust my rear steer like my front steer. It’s a very amazing Rc and I’m very happy with it!

Great video. I mainly like to drive my rigs and not do a lot of upgrades. When the first Capra came out, it reminded me too much of my Bomber. However, this new version seems very impressive using the 4WS on difficult climbs. I will probably add this one to my collection.

Good video! Cool to see you run it on a comp course with it being stock.

[jerryvolpini]

Just might sell me on 4-wheel steer? 🤔 The Capra did great, held her own! Thanks for the video 👍

[jdsrcs]

This is a cool rig. But Axial needs to use a controller/receiver combo with enough channels to allow useage of all the features they are including.

[brianclark]

I would recommend it .I just brought the red one also and your video is spot on for the info you provided thanks for the honest none biased review lol so many big words from myself I'm just a simple mechanic with a rc addiction I already have one capra maybe time to downsize 🤔nah what was i thinking about the one with the most toys wins have a great day everyone and get out of the house and play

[SierraCrawler]

Great video and great job 👏 👍 i have been wanting a capra, almost picked up one at axialfest this year, but got a scx10 2 instead that was my first axial crawler, i have a trx4 defender that i have completely upgraded and the scx10 2 is a comp rig now and has all vp f9 axles and all links and everything rockpirate rc upgrades as well, now i am seriously considering buying the 4ws capra to add a buggy to my Arsenault of rigs, i also have the ryft and a scx24

[toddmiddleton]

Well, I’m glad you gave it another chance and actually enjoyed it. I’m sure you can do a few upgrades to make it more to your liking.

[stephenr]

At least you can set the drag brake with the hobbywing 1080 programme box great video old boy

[apeion]
