Axial should have let you introduce this first. Before you took it apart to thoroughly introduce it I was skeptical. But now it actually looks like a legitimate option.

[TheRCBuildersPost]

I think it looks awesome! I don't know why all the hate on it. I think the 1/18 scale will take off now that Traxxas and Axial are releasing rigs in that scale. The problem I think most have with 1/18 scale is there is no aftermarket support for that scale and that's because until now, there hasnt been a big name in that scale. You know Traxxas and Axial will have an aftermarket support. This size is perfect for indoor, outdoor and tinkering. The 24th scale is absolutely a pain in the butt to work on. And right out of the box, this thing is loaded compared to anything 24th scale. I think you're right, Greg, those wheels gotta go 😂. But, other than that, Axial did a good job!

Its got a 12th scale wheelbase and width. The Team Associated Cr12 has very similar wheelbase and width. Same motor and tire/wheel size.

I think most of the hate for this is because it's twice the size of other 1/18's and is 250 dollhairs. This uses 1.55" wheels and TRX4M's use 1" wheels. So there's not gonna be much in common with each other for aftermarket parts.

This might be a good replacement for my ECX Temper gen 2. It's a fun crawler but has breakage problems (axles and driveshafts) and the parts aren't cheap.

[bcochener]

Thanks for giving this a fair shake! So much hate on it from day one? Love it, the scale doesn’t bother me, most RC are not to actual scale they market them. With weight, maybe tires, and some shock tinkering - I think you are spot on that this will be amazing. Cheers!

[ConditionZero]

It's an axial so it's very nice looking product, however it seems to me most people either want / can afford 24th scale or the larger 10th scale, I think the majority of us would love the larger 1/5 scale crawlers but people cant see dropping 12 hun on a single crawler, unfortunately the only folks that have them are the YouTube channels they were given to for review, sadly Ive yet to see one in the real world out crawling but I understand why, so for me I can't see 18th scale taking off, I think it'll be the tiny crawlers or larger more affordable 10th scale, I'm so Happy to see axial, traxxas etc pushing the limit tho, that's great news....

Great video review of this little car! Thank you for taking the time, again, to tear down the chassis/drivetrain and let the viewers see the haps to craps on whats inside! And! @5:30, perfect drivers stance LOL 😂

[BEACH-RC]

I love mine. Major upgrades: 4ws, HH 380, Rhino ESC, Hardcore links, full droop, front weight, BFG Crawler tires 3.85od.
Works pretty well. But still can't keep up with the lcg rigs. But pretty close.

[vintagemotoseattle]

Mine arrived today! Does great out of the box! Its a tiny bit stiff, but I'm lookinginto adding weight in the front.

[texomarc]

Great show, my guy! Neat edition to the market. Unfortunately for the mini guys, it’s huge! Amazing location and shots!

[microrigs]

It looks way bigger than the average 1/18 scale trucks, and definately bigger than the Traxxas and FMS 1/18 rigs. On the other hand, the bigger size allows a standard servo, which is a big win...

[rcstories_ca]

Thanks for the review Greg! This looks like a good option of my daughter. That’s not a put down of the quality or the capability of the rig. It’s just that she is not quite ready for a 1/10 truck yet. She has a Yeti Jr. which she rips around the yard with, and she likes driving the SCX24s in our rock garden, but this would be a good option to get her on my challenging terrain. And if she gets bored and doesn’t feel like driving home, it would fit in/on my backpack easy. Heck, I’d love to have one myself as a more portable option.

[andyb]

You may have the ultimate crawling spot, that has to never get old....so awesome 💯 oh yeah the rig looks awesome to!!

[robgoffroad]

I think Axial and Traxxas need to pay more attention to what 1/18 actually is. The TRX4M appears to be slightly bigger than the SCX24, yet this Capra is HUGE by comparison.. more like a 1/12 than a 1/18. Nevertheless, I want one. So they're available now??? Gotta find someplace with one in stock...

[xtremscalerc]

La verdad que tiene muy buena pinta esta propuesta de axial, con ganas de verlo en persona y probarlo a ver que tal. Muy buen video.

[gram]

Reminds me of the losi mini rock crawler. Would love to see a set of these axles on one of those custom chassis

[Xofroggy]

I could see how people think toy, the beadlocks, the height, the capra body style in genral. But its axial so you know its more awesome than a toy

[Mtbmi]

It’s so much more than the wheels that make it took it a toy, and that’s because it is!
