Gmade R1 x Axial Capra project

[Naoki]

I like Gmade R1 compact platform but its axle is poor durability and it’s difficult to maintain conditions on Lipo 3s/4s running.
So I decided to replace it to Capra axle. Now I’m waiting for its arrival.

I also need some body work to stretch front nose. I’m preparing aluminium panel.

My plan:
Chassis / Gmade R1
Axle / Axial Capra
Transmission / rc4wd 2 speed trans
Esc / Mamba X
Motor / Castle 2850kv
Battery / 4S Lipo
4WS

Final gear: 1st 70-80. 2nd 20-25

Capra portal axle has just arrived.
Grand clearance is super!
Fitting to Gmade R1 chassis is not so bad but I need make some modification..

I have relocated front shock mount to forward because I slightly extended front link.
I chopped the original mount.[emoji28]

I almost completed front structure.
But I cannot go to next step because transmission has not arrived yet...

That thing looks wicked. Can you post some vids when you have it on the rocks?

How can something be so ugly and yet so cool at the same time

It looks like something you would see in a star wars movie like it was built from left over space ship parts and then put some tires under it lol that's a hard look to make look good

It needs lightsabers and a droid bot and some big arse laser guns in my opinion anyway

That is one of the oddest and COOLEST rigs I've seen!

Great job on the build! Love it!"thumbsup"

Can't wait to see how it does out on the rocks!

I have totally changed plan, hahaha..
I purchased Gmade r1 stealth chassis kit long years ago and use this platform at this time.
