A deeper look within the Redcat Everest 10 crawler

redbarton as far as I can tell the transmission for the Capra has a mounting pattern similar to the Injora chassis.

I searched the Axial Capra and it appears that there is a possibility that maybe 3 of the 4 mounting holes will line up.

Has anyone put everest 10 axles and transmission in an Axial Capra chassis? I might try that next.

There's a guy in the e10 Facebook group that did this. He said he used the e10 trans axles and driveshafts. Capra cage and skid.

Search capracat in the Everest 10 fb group and you should find him.

Thanks for the info. I just asked to join.

I dug around in my spare parts this weekend and came up with enough stuff to add rear steer. C-hubs and dogbone shafts courtesy of my bomber, some integy aluminum knuckles, and the stock e10 servo.

I modified the truss on the kyx axle the same as I had done in front to mount the servo on the tube. I kept the end points pretty low to save the dogbone shafts but it still makes a huge difference in the turning radius. I'm controlling it with the vr knob on my rc6gs. I printed a larger knob to slide over it to give better grip and a feel for center.

I need to upgrade the tie-rod asap as the one on there is just thrown together (thin stainless tube with m3 glued in) to test the car. The rest will get upgraded in time.
