  • We test the brass weights for the Axial axles of the Capra and SCX10.3. This lowers the center of gravity to allow the rock crawler to climb steep walls for the ultimate upgrade and mod.

    Wish I had people to crawl with. Where I live there is almost no one that has any rc, let alone crawlers. Looks like a great time. God bless and stay safe sir. 😁✌️

    Rotational Weight equals Drive Train Stress.
    Sprung Weight equals Stability Issues and adds to higher COGs.
    What you want to add, which is what this does, is Unsprung, non Rotational Weight.
    Get it low, and static (doesn't Move) under the springs and that is Stability Weight.

      Yup, agreed. A real discovery too is spin-up, acceleration for quick bumps is more responsive with light wheels/tires. Braking at critical points is improved too.
      Drivetrain stress, we haven't had much of an issue with these slowwww crawlers and very beefy drivetrains. But it can be an issue for some. Very true in fast cars for sure.

    Hi Francis, I got a question about the Proline Dual Stage Foams:
    I drive the class 1 Hyrax on my Sendero and I'm unsure, if the PL Dual Stage Foams are to big (seller description says:".. for 1.9 XL.." So you know, if the a smaller version, or will fit these foams on class 1 tires?
    Thanks a lot for your answer and your input and the vids!

    In MY honest opinion:
    BUT, the brass steering weights are extremely rough on the STOCK/original plastic front (& rear) axles. Too, the portal covers r not bad. I upgraded to the all aluminum front and rear axles. You can do anything brass to them!

    • @RCReviewChannel
      @RCReviewChannel  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think it's good how it is. If one has very steep descents and the rear is unstable, rear portal covers will help plant the reaer.
