    I put a set of white spot HPI competition rock crawler tyres onto a Ravine, and it is nearly unstoppable. Part number is HPI 67772 if this helps anyone out. They are about £40 for a set, but makes this little truck keep up with the best, in my opinion. Not bad for £140 all in.

    I own the Redcat Danchee Ridgerock which is very similar and I just recently sold my Axial Bomber. You do have the weight advantage with the Capra VS the FTX Ravine, it would be interesting to see how the FTX would hold up in the challenging area if it were weighted down. Quite honestly, I have more fun with the Redcat Danchee than I did with my Axial Bomber knowing that it's a 1/4 of the cost of my Axial Bomber.

  • @rseficomalta
    @rseficomalta 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I like your honest video. It shows one thing . Cheap does not always mean crap. There are reasons why the Axial Capra is more expensive.
    If we compare oranges to oranges an RTR Capra does not cost. 10x the FTX ravine but 5 x as much.
    Your upgrades made the higher price gap.
    Servos,ESC , motor , tyres etc against FTX stock and yet we cannot ignore the FTX performance with all stock items compared to a modified rig.
    If only what you removed out of the RTR Capra was installed on the Ravine I strictly believe that the FTX would even have done better.
    This shows that expensive does not necessarily mean the best. The extra money you spend in the Axial Capra at stock stage has certain reasons behind it. One of this is 3rd party support and upgrades something FTX ravine will lack.
    The important thing for someone starting hobby is the budget see how much of a car you can get with your budget.
    Get a hobby grade always -and FRX offers entry level hobby grade rigs which are good value for money .
    Finally enjoy the hobby and exploit your vehicle. When it’s time to upgrade consider higher priced RTR’s or better Kits against upgrading a car that you already have.
    When you upgrade do not expect always a better result some times a combination of mechanisms do not perform well or need tuning to get them work well.
    Most of all enjoy

    Awesome video (as always) I really like both crawlers but couldn't justify the cost of the Capra especially as the FTX is not that much behind it, with better tires and servos it would be even more capable, I would like to see you add a Redcat Racing Everest - 10, I think that as its fairly cheap and not a MOA it would be an interesting combination of vehicles.

    Thanks for sharing! I'm really impressed by the capability of the Ravine, it is a solid contender for it's price! This means that we don't have to spend alot of money to have some real fun! I understand that the Capra tops it but it also has more features to it that the Ravine does not have like it's weight, tires, brushless motor, locked rear wheels (digging function). I'm looking for a cheap crawler and the Ravine is certainly one I look forward to getting. What else would you suggest? (I don't mind the scale)

  • @wordreet
    @wordreet 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great fun mate! And, be honest, the Capra definitely has better ground clearance with those drop axles, (or whatever they're called), but isn't ten times better that the good ol' Ravine. Maybe 25% to 30% better. But with better tires, the Ravine comes much closer. Hmm, ok, I have modded my Ravine a bit, with approx 10mm more wheelbase and angled ally link bars, made by me. A friend at work has a Gmade R1, which is 3 times the Ravine price, but with pretty high spec. Though I haven't seen it in action yet.

    I've only just noticed that the Axial has wheel/axle weights. LoL! My Ravine does now. I took the tires off and wrapped 100g of plumber's solder around each wheel well, then wrapped that with electrical tape. And a few weeks later, I 3D printed some thin "sleeves" that were then glued to the back of the wheel centre and extend a little bit over the axle hub, then wrapped another 60g plumber's solder over that bit as well. Hehe, I realize that half of the weights are always above the axle centre, but what the heck!

    hey Phil... way away from the RC thing, ya got blackberries there! pick about a 5 gallon bucket worth to juice them through woman's knee high stockings (picking happens fast if you tell some children you'll bake them a couple pies btw). put the juice in a 2 gallon jug with some yeast and a small pile of sugar on the floor of the jug, a cork with a hole to put a bubbler into or make yourself a bubbler with some aquarium tubing also works (a "crazy straw" is good too, just keep water in the lower halves of the loops). keep in a dark warm place, check if it needs water in the bubbler, or a little sugar added, about once a week. if you do it now you'll have some great blackberry "champagne" (it'll self carbonate) that'll be 10-12% alcohol for Christmas / New Years season. its really good special stuff!
    for the pies, use about 1/2 whole berries and 1/2 juiced berry meat, they're getting boiled with some sugar, corn starch or gelatin anyway, pie crust is easy to make costs about nothing too. they look great with a lattice on top is also an "easy nothing".
    the Ravine same as Redcat/Danchee RidgeRock, its lowlier little brother is the 40 dollar "Trail Hunter". with the Trail Hunter, peel the front tires there's just enough room between the tire beads for 4 turns of 2 mm solder (just did it). not bothering with the rears because a little up front is probably enough to help steering+traction climbing. I know too much weight will bog the little axle motors.. 4 turns is about 20" worth, times two is a substantial bit of weight added up front really. same act to the Ravine might help it a bunch, cheap+easy, easy to undo if it hurts more than helps. start with a spot of CA, last wrap press the steps tight with flat screwdriver, wrap electric tape stretched (cut 1/2 width) 2 layers, end with spot of CA to lock the tape keeping the solder compressed to the rim. put the tires back on.. easy 5 minute job.

      I think the ravine needs shock tuning tires, bang good alloys, cheap servos , 2s lipo, proper 1060 esc then better links like alloys and then maybe ceramic bearings and Full steel gears then perfect for budget crawler

    @gamingstokr7299 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very late to this vid. While I would not pay $1200 for a crawler, I also would not buy that cheap one. It kinda sucks, 'cause it seems to struggle with slow, technical crawling. There are crawler kits for around $300-$380 USD that will perform very close to that Axial and that's the route I am going. Helpful to see none the less and I love direct comparisons. TY

    im surprised for the cost, i reckon makes some custom metal parts, try and find a way to give it a dig function and give it some high end tyres and it would competitive, i think beyond that, give it some heavier servos it would even be a winner, things like shocks and motors seem to be an after thought with improvements, though i would like the see some metal parts for it, tho thats just me

    Not for nothing but the cheap crawler here in the states is called the Danchee Ridge Rock its from Redcat Racing and its unstoppable but its Achille's heel is its front suspension I wrecked two of em running on pillows for crying out loud and on one the ESC kept conking out so though it articulates like a Cobra and can climb like a monkey the front is as fragile as an egg. I ended up with Redcat's Everest 10 doesn't have rear articulation but its built like a tank and so far can do pretty much whatever the RR can do just not as pretty too watch. Over a thousand bux for an RC that, well not for nothing didn't seem like it was worth it to me but I'm a cheapskate so there it is, cheers Tomley.

      I'm a bit underwhelmed for the money though, the axe is lots more than a 1060 or 1080, and doesn't seem to be proportionally better. I have one, and for the £180 it cost, it isn't that much better than a good 550 brushed with a 1080. If I was on a budget, no way would I buy it again. Yes it's top shelf, but no, it's not worth the cash when you are it on the trails.

    I've got the ravine. I just moved the battery as far forward as I could to get more of the weight on the front. Otherwise its needed no mods. The three different steering modes come in useful when you are in an awkward situation. With the capra the step down axials will be and advantage with the better ground clearance but I wouldn't pay ten times the price to get that but only have two wheel steering.

  • @1622_SCALE_DIVISION
    @1622_SCALE_DIVISION 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The ravine is a great rig, some of these prices are starting to get out of hand , the whole world is still struggling yet people are paying these rediculous prices , the performance margins are not as big as people think so why skint yourself out and put your family at risk, plenty of mid range rigs can compete with the silly money rigs, a few well chosen upgrades and your in the mix for a fraction of the cost

  • @Genesis23OPB
    @Genesis23OPB ปีที่แล้ว

    the ravine which is called the pirate swinger in switzerland has one problem: its a bit too light and thus gets stuck on little trees or thorns.
    i wonder if its possible to upgrade to heavier rims and tyres, but that would probably kill the motors

    • @Genesis23OPB
      @Genesis23OPB 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      EDIT: 300g per wheel is managable for the vehicle, no damage after quite a lot of use so far.
      after over half of a year owing 3 of them so far my favorite tyres are from ali express the Austar Hobby Bully Comp tyre 2.2, extremely skinny so the low weight of the vehicle presses a bit better on the tires, also very soft tires in general. combine with rim weights on the front only and its scary how far it can go and how much more expensive vehicles it leaves behind.

    That's super fast for crawling... I drive my crawler 5-10 times slower than that. It has a 50T brushed motor and I use air filled tires, to be able to be soft as possible. I recommend those both for awesome crawling experience, it grips like crazy and You can drive it ridicilously slow. It wil climb almost anything, with no "wheel speed" whatsoever needed.
