Straight axles are perfect for your area in Utah, larger smoother profile solid rocks. Portals shine where the terrain is made up of smaller separate rocks like in river beds.
I love this style of video, where you walk us through all the obstacles. This style has taught me a ton especially as a noob, about how to read and react to the truck 👍🏼
I’m happy that you turned your passion into your job Logan; your driving is really top notch. So I am going servo on axel, and I’m wondering why you went the other way with your Capra? As a side note, we are on vacation and are driving on the opposite side of the rode so all your references to drivers and passengers side got me a bit confused.
You ever go crawling with fans? I've been wanting to take a trip to go check out Sand hollow and to follow that up with a trip to Moab to get some gear and meet trailmater be nice to bust the RC out.
Bro just start a fund jar. Dump your change into it. $1bills you come up with. Even collect soda cans. It all adds up kinda quick. If ya want it bad enough yoill find a way.
On sale in the Scratch & Dent bin right now at Tower Hobby 2 have defective light bars & are super cheap. My Capra light bar has some of the lights that flicker sometimes it’s an amazing Crawler & I use the 4 wheel steer often.
Just built my caper with your 3lynk kit on scx10 3 straight axles went together easily but we have too much snow where I live in California once it melts I’m eager to crawl it I bought a Capra cage and bodypannel off eBay to build this Capra
I’m mostly a Predator guy, but I’m in Ohio and we’ve got mostly slick river rock, so having that extra soft bite really helps around here! Regardless of the compound… I’m with ya on the Krawler’s! Used to be a Hyrax guy for every rig, but after seeing the Krawler’s in action, I got a set for my C2 Ecto and never looked back. Couldn’t believe how well they did head to head with the Hyrax, plus they look WAY better!
@@theoalbert897 I don’t think I’ll be giving those a shot any time soon, unless something serious happens. My buddy has a set, we run comparable rigs, and the Flat Irons just don’t seem to do quite as well where we’re running. They do have an attractive tread pattern, but unless I see something around here in person that does better than what I’ve got, I’ll be sticking with my Krawler’s. They are just absolutely decimating the competition, here on my course at least. We’ll see if that changes at our local comp this coming weekend or not, but I’m pretty sure I know how they will stack up against each other.
Love watching this car! I purchased one of your 3 link conversions because of these videos. I assume you are running Capra shocks as they seem to be your go-to. What color coded springs are you running front and rear?
@@westdesertwheelerDo you like stock shocks with the portals, too? I have my stock ones pretty dialed but wonder if there is something to gain with all the options out there.
But isn’t the CMS raising the center of gravity and adding more sprung weight to the truck? Portal’s have an advantage over straight axles at my local comp spots. There’s just certain areas where portals will clear rocks and the straight axles get hung up. Guess it all comes down to the terrain and what types of rocks you crawl on.
This is what happens when you buy multiple capra's just for the axles to build other projects. Logan just found a way to make the extra capra chassis different and useful using his mod and an Axial axle kit.
@@shaynejenkins446 I get that. I have a Capra axle build too. What I don’t understand is why you would 3 link the front and put the servo on the chassis.
yo logan great vid as always!!!! I have a question for you that I have asked a few people and they seem not to know the answer or just don't want to tell me so here goes... due to watching your vids I have gotten back into RC's before I was a bash this is the first rock crawler trail truck I have ever had and I ended up not wanting to spend a lot of money spent some time looking around and picked up the base camp 10.3. the pan hard link has a really hard time staying on the axel a little bump makes it come off, is there away to run the truck without the pan hard. I have tried googling it and all that comes up is how to fix it nothing about removing all together and the local hobby shop guys said there not sure. please help if you know if not I understand. thanks dude
Without the panhard you will have to four link the front axle. If you do that with the chassis mounted servo it’s going to bump steer like crazy. So you would want to try to mount the servo on the axle. Short answer is it “can” be done, but it’s going to be a whole lot of bs to make it work. You will be way better off making the panhard work.
There must be a servo in axle conversion for the axles on the basecamp? It was hard to find one I did on my element. But most of time servo in axle means more power...idk why wdw the man!! For sure I’m not worthy goes 3 link...

that was a outstanding crawl, good job, you are hell on servo,s lol, , great show and your editing is spot on!!!
Haha yeah servos definitely don’t like me lol
You should give the Proline KM3 Mud Terrain in G8 a try out there where you're at
Nice lines. I’m hoping your get the new Axial Pro kit & build it to review it.
just order my 3 link set up this morning. great timing on this video. Thanks
I love seeing your straight axle capra working 🤙🏼 such a inspirational build maybe one day when you’ll ship parts to Canada 😜👌🏼
I love this style of video, where you walk us through all the obstacles. This style has taught me a ton especially as a noob, about how to read and react to the truck 👍🏼
I’m glad you like them and they help you. Honestly I’m just speaking out loud what I think when I drive
@@westdesertwheeler and that’s why your the best RC crawler TH-camr! :D
25:46 makes me think of that bowl obstacle on super smash bros. Love driving that trail. 😎
Always fun watching your videos, I my opinion the best crawler videos on TH-cam😎🤘🏼. All the best/ Sam
I appreciate that thank you

Brilliant content as always, great job Logan... man I love my capra... john
Thanks John!
Minuit 21 onward was so satisfying. awesome drive as always
Nice driving! The rig is awesome and nice lines!
Thanks!

I want to buy Capra and 3 link it and get straight axles do just like u but probably cheaper axles haha Logan your the man! Thanks 😊
Nice, I wish I had enough money for a capra lol
There nice just got one last week finally. Going to my first comp this june

Logan,
Like watching your video's. I have the G-Speed V4 and love it, I have a question where do you get all your Capra axles.
Just built my caper with your 3lynk kit on scx10 3 straight axles went together easily but we have too much snow where I live in California once it melts I’m eager to crawl it I bought a Capra cage and bodypannel off eBay to build this Capra

Should try flat irons if you like krawlers

sweet crawling area.
your saying should
( keep it cool)
Is this with the Capra shocks or 10.3 straight axle provided shocks
The reasons I don't want to do portals is I have my scx6 sitting as low as I can and I'm here in Colorado so I have a lot of steep inclines.
The capra is the bomb! Watching a pro drive it makes it look so easy. Its not witjout the place to crawl.
Very cool Capra and your driving style rocks. G8 Hyrax are my choice of tires. Stay safe
I much prefer a flat skid over an angled or shaped skid as I find those tend to slide the rig in unpredictable ways you don’t want or expect.
Love watching this car! I purchased one of your 3 link conversions because of these videos. I assume you are running Capra shocks as they seem to be your go-to. What color coded springs are you running front and rear?
Running the stock shocks I believe they are the red springs
@@westdesertwheelerDo you like stock shocks with the portals, too? I have my stock ones pretty dialed but wonder if there is something to gain with all the options out there.
Sweet rig
Are your 3 link kits still available? I’ve checked your store several times and continue to say out of stock.
Next batch is in the works. I appreciate you checking. It may be a week.

WWWDWD. What would West Desert Wheeler Do?
Fantastic video !!! Senks!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
4:20 mark having belly issues
Great video 👍🏾
Realy nice video 👌😋
Another Grouce vid logan like the lime green
G8 is good in heat. No good in the cold tho. Bring those g8s to Canada on a cold winter day. Predators will walk all over them 😁
Do you have links for good 3 gear transmissions? I dont wanna spend a ton of money. $100 and less?
Where is the airport?
