Axial Capra 1.9 RTR, is it any good? My first impressions...

- The Axial Capra has got to be one of the best dedicated RC Crawlers out there (mass produced) Why did I buy the Ready to Run and not the Builders kit?
My plan is to gradually upgrade this and see what the progression and appreciate the upgrades. It's easy to buy a kit and throw every upgrade going, but then you don't really see the progression.
Anyway, first will be a set of new wheels and tyres, and then a Holmes Hobby motor, and finally I may try the Hobbywing AXE system which is meant to be the best brushless crawler set up.
I bought mine from ModelSport in the UK. Cheapest price, next day delivery!

first glimpse of the thumbnail I was near expecting Danchee RidgeRock, which really has a whole lot going for it (insane flex and 4WS!) for a $120 budget. Capra is really capable, watched many videos about it, one showed the good old school pen spring shock mod.
Nice job Tomley. The Capra preformed quite well. Very nice crawler.
Really awesome truck, dude! 😃
Looking forward to see your mods! 😃
Cheers dude. Looking forward to modding this
Great video bro....i found my dream crawler hands down
Great project!! Thanks for share! Have a good weekend!!
Thanks dude
You found some really gnarly rocks to test it out on! No wonder they call it Capra (Goat)!
That green body was the right choice for sure phil
Great job Phil. Thanks for sharing. Love the Capra, I think I may just have to buy one. Not cheep though. But I guess you get what you pay for. John
Great video Phil. I enjoyed watching your first run with the Capra, and what a couple of perfect locations. It did very well out of the box. I think Axials are really good rigs bone stock. I recently bought a brand new Gen 1 SCX10 Deadbolt and I'm always going to run it totally stock. No upgrades at all. Nothing. I have 9 other Axial crawlers/trailers and they all have various different hop ups, and I want to see how the Deadbolt will compare over the coming years. I have faith I won't be disappointed with it. One of my Wraiths is 8 years old with plenty of miles on it and still has its original plastic suspension links which are still going strong. Your Capra should last you many happy years, especially after you add your upgrades. But I was totally surprised to learn about the lack of grease. Seems the company may have gone downhill a bit since they were bought out by Horizon. No grease in a £400+ RTR RC is totally unacceptable in my opinion.
Yes, I am really impressed! I almost want to buy a Kit and build that up, and then leave this one bone stock! I had an SCX10 a while back, that was a nice truck!
I was thinking today, everybody shouts down the budget models for being poorly made, or things falling off.... like the WPL's where the driveshafts are a bit weak, but when it comes to stuff like this (the lack of grease), and Traxxas with their weak driveshafts on some of their RC's....,it's almost as if you are meant to except that as they are a bigger brand, and just buy the upgrades. Strange how it's ok to happen on a £400 RC, but not on a £30 lol
I love the moody misty quarry as a place to showcase this crawler. It really does benefit from those portal axles, with a nice low C of G and excellent ground clearance. I was amazed @ 8:25, for example - what a machine!
I quite agree that it can be more satisfying to upgrade an RTR than to buy the kit version and build in upgrades as you assemble it.
This way you get the "before and after" comparison and the attendant glow of satisfaction on first driving the upgraded car.
Exactly Del, I like to see progress.... rather than chuck lots of money at it straight away, and not really anything to compare it to. The Quarry was very 'moody'...the Sun came out about an hr later! I didn't notice the mist over the water until I edited it.... looks almost like a volcanic stream.... in central Lincolnshire lol
@@TomleyRC I´m glad that you went there when you did - sunny videos are bright and cheerful but the atmosphere in the quarry suited the Capra´s mean, purposeful styling perfectly : )
It's a great crawler, abit expensive for me but that's me, am sure after your upgrades it will do even better , Great Location and a great First Run Mate 👍😎👍
Thanks Tony. It was a little treat for myself, doing a 12hr charity crawl with it in July.... should be up for the job!
Been watching your channel for a bit, mainly crawlers. You got a Capra so I'm in..! Subbed and liked.
Cheers mate 👍
Cheers Mick. More Crawlers coming this year..... I've got the bug again!
Really a very nice vehicle from Axial :) Reminds me a bit of the Bomber. The entanglement is the madness!
Great video 👍 I need to get a 1/10 scale crawler.
Great place! Great truck! Great video man!
Cheers mate
Dig works well in the right situations. Out of the box the Capra is definitely amazing. I am slowly upgrading mine. Started with TGH overdrive gears and some brass weights.
Yes, i've seen it in use on other videos, handy! I'll be getting some weights and other bits in the next few weeks.
Love your Quarry by the way! Good Video!
Nice tires,nice crawling and great RC
Cheers dude
Hi Phil! Glad I kept watching, I thought that water might come into this video at some point! The last bit was the best, cool how you climbed out of the little stream. Looks like a great rig, but still can't believe the tight B@sTrd$ at the factory don't put some grease on the gears!!! :P
Thanks Mark. I found that little stream on my back to the car. I had to get all the camera bits out again. Unfortunately someone had dumped a load of clothes and food in it a bit further down so only had a small bit to work with. I think i may take a couple of bin bags and some glove's next time and clear the area to get some quality river running! (You know I like a bit of water!). Marine grease and tools are already sorted for this evening!
@@TomleyRC Nice one, Phil, doing a bit of RCing and tidying the environment too! Have fun with the greasing! :)
Wu uuuu very good friends .. very beautiful place
so I want to make it like that
greetings from Indonesia
Very informative, thanks for sharing I subscribe to you thanks again 😎
Thanks mate
That looks like one of those 'rock bouncers'...but considering this is a RTR and not the more expensive kit builds...it looks like it can be quite an accomplished crawler....great choice of location to test it out as well
Great vid 👍😎
Cheers dude. This place will certainly be featured in a few more videos now I've found it!
Wow really good in stock form!
You gotta get some onboard driver view footage 👍🏻
I actually had my little Hero Session with me, but forgot to fit it in the cab 😩
Tomley RC Man I would love to fly that location 🤭
That thing looks very capable out the box. How much benefit would you get from upgrading it? 👍
I've seen some crazy crawling with these. So a bit of weight and a better crawler motor should give it the edge over stock .
The best crawler is my neighbor when he’s drunk
😂
Curios?
Any trouble with your dig servo? I could hear your servo struggling at its end-point once you engaged dig.
I recently purchased a RTR Capra and found it challenging to adjust end-points on dig as the manual instructs.
Happy Crawling!
Yes, burnt out after the second run. Heard it’s quite common. Once I’d upgraded it all, I used a different transmitter and adjusted the end points
@@TomleyRC One more question?...
Did you upgrade the dig servo as well?
Starting to think I should have started with the kit, considering stock electronics are rubbish.
Now you've got a Capra you'll need to set out a course and shoot a comparison video with the RGT EX86010 CJ and FTX Fury
Yes, 100% 👍
COOL cool cool. I don't go watch ALL the new stuff , looking forward to, Haven't checked out the RTR, NC❤ MOUNTAINS🏞 Backyard RC AND MORE. 🖒🖒💯
That looks quite smart and how much does it cost
A lot! £420
Was there treasure or a dead body in the blue bag? I'd have to investigate!
It was actually a bit concerning at first. A Sleeping bag, a bag of clothes (the blue bag), a kids denim jacket, kids lunch box including food, and a hand bag. After a bit of thought, I had it in my head that it was probably belongings from a car that had been broken into and then the stuff with no value dumped. No bodies thank fully!
Зверюга)))💪💪💪
Which Facebook group did you find the quarry on?
It was a local crawler group (Lincoln)
Capra just need bigger wheels anyway great video mate
I reckon a good crawler should have very soft tires.
When's the update?
Lol i use some ripsaw and crowbar and steak knife when it comes unboxing without recording🤣
haha... I was gonna get the angle grinder out.... but it was a bit late in the evening haha
Crawler time
Best ....
Needs a landy and trailer tow it to crawler spot !!!
Yes it does... I may have the perfect one for the job ;)
Well tg it looks small for a 1/10 scale dont it
Not sure what to compare it to. But certainly not big.
@@TomleyRC wud of bin good to compare it to the escender
that foggy background is creepy...
Car is rl nice but I waiting for rl review
Like a akshial... not that other hehe
way too expensive for me......stop putting temptation before me lol
lol
I don't understand why youd want to mod something before you try it, and the mods need to work where your going to drive it.
Yes, you are correct. 👍
