With 2.2s, and large diameter paddle tires, I think this would make an excellent "beach buggy". Funny thing is...while I'm still a crawler newb, I was already considering getting a second Capra (as my third crawler...although, I plan to wait several months, for Axial to work the "bugs" out), and so just that. When you live in the SF Bay Area, and have countless beaches between San Francisco & Monterey, how can I resist...well, unless anyone can suggest another crawler-buggy that would make an excellent "beach buggy"..........

Copy and paste pic to Word and resize to 8.5” width. The length will autosize to 11.7”. When it prints it cuts off the bottom 1/2” or so.
Open pic in MS Paint. Print setup, adjust to 100% size, reduce margins as small as possible, and print.

Uh...thanks, but no thanks. One, that's a kids toy. Two, it reminds me of the Banana Splits buggy...lol

It is a body for the Traxxas Slash. Likely the most popular basher of all time.

My bad. I just took a look at the photo, without reading what it actually was. Serves me right...lol

What batteries are you guys running in the Capra?

I'll be using two different batteries, from two different brands...not that I've actually test-fit them (my build isn't 100% finished, tho they're both smaller than the battery Axial "recommend". For 2S, I'll be using Reedy WolfPack 2S Hard Case Shorty 30C LiPo 3000mAh. For 3S, I'll be using Gens Ace Adventure 3S High Voltage 50C LiPo 3600mAh.

It doesn't look right with 1.9" tires. It also doesn't look right with such a wide track. It needs narrower-offset hubs.Here are some pics comparing the Capra on 1.9s and the 2.2 version of the same tires.

As a former photography major, the photos are "misleading". This is because they appear to have been taken fairly close, work a "standard" or "wide-angle" setting. Using the 'front view' photos, if you focus on the rear of the vehicle, you'll notice that the stance of the wheels/tires, compared to the frame, isn't as wide as the photos make it appear.
If someone who's already completed their Capra could take a photo from a further distance, using a telephoto setting, this would help to show what I'm referring to. As mine isn't complete, I'm currently unable to do this myself.

Don't like it, don't buy it. Some issues in life have simple solutions.
Scotch-brite the inside before painting it. Oval guys do it to .030 all the time to lighten the bodies. Dont even notice the the scratches after its painted.
Its still popular :twisted:
But the XR axles, as much as i love them, do need some design improvements. But we can only hope this paves way to a new MOA down the road.
Welcome to 32p ..... you boys been spoiled with 48p SCX tranny's lol :lmao:
Grease, lots of grease :mrgreen:
You get used to the look after driving it a bit. Currently it has shit hubs which are supposed to be .400" from the pin and I just got some narrower hubs in to test. It's still wide because of the XR width axles though. Pitbull has a set of 5.1" 2.2 tires that might be cool to try out, or JConcept's 4.9" 1.9s.
Gee now we're getting in depth. I have a 55-200mm I could take the pics with but I just used the 35mm because I was taking pics for the build on the bench and just opted to swap the tires on and take the pics from there as well. In order to to what you're proposing I'll have to find a good spot like 12 feet away from the rig and try at 75mm maybe. My prediction though is that it will only make the cage look a teensy bit wider and make the tires look more head on and "fix" the rear width, otherwise it's still wide with my current hubs on.
I’m baffled that people think 1.9s look too small. I’m even more baffled that this is an issue for some. Buy the freaking wheels and tires you like!
Ooh portal moa. :drool:

Simple solution - put 1.9 tires on 2.2 wheels.
