New release of the 4wd/4ws Capra utb10 V2

[hnoroian]

They did it again and released the V2. The numbers look pretty good too. Direct competition for their Gila? Nice to see them make refinements to their line.

I like it ... I am not in the market but this is good to keep the parts support on existing Capra axles and I will definitely pick up the transmission for my current Straight Axle Capra which will benefit from the claimed 45% gear reduction on the new unit).

Probably taking a swing at the H10 too? It does loose some scale points. I don’t have the spare change from getting back to racing either but I agree it looks pretty enticing.

$560 for a platform that has been long in the tooth for quite a while now. Wow.

I could not agree more with you on the price ... as I mentioned not even in the market for one but I do like the fact that part support will still remain for the platform. I see a sale on the V1 4ws soon I would imagine.

I think it's an alright price given that it's only $10 more than the V1. $10 for a 5-channel receiver and a better set of wheels/tires ain't that bad. It's a pretty good platform in my experience. My only complaint it not having enough weight up front, but that can easily be fixed with a little brass. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

from me for the V2, liking the Fox livery

 

[Col_Sanders]

The price does seem a bit steep at first glance but since it comes with 4ws, LEDs, and a pretty expensive rx, I dont think it is too bad for what you get. An optic RTR with an extra steering axle would cost more.

I do like the Fox livery on this and the 1/18.

Saw this earlier today on the fb pages and I’m a fan. I may be a buyer on this axial. Don’t know what it was about v1 but I couldn’t get on board. V2 is looking awesome

 

[OSRC]

Basically they fixed everything we all complained about, and added some much nicer wheels and tires. Pretty nice!

I'm all for that, don't need a new release all the time. New molds are terribly expensive, I get it. Time spent fixing things and tweaking for better performance is always time well spent.

I'm most excited about the continued parts availability for my capra axle rigs. Rest is meh.

Most of the currently available platforms are old. Looks like the Capra has been out since 2019? Trx4 has been around since 2017, fordyce is a stripped down version of a vs410 pro, which is from 2019. Phoenix is very similar story, it just has a different transmission and axles. Scx10 iii is from 2020? Isnt the enduro from 2020 as well?

Looks like they addressed the big complaints about the original, which they should have done years ago.

Remember back when many companies would release new versions of updated things every two years… dang now I feel old where that old man group check in thread…

 

[Col_Sanders]

The downside to that is that parts dry up quick once something has been discontinued.

 

[Ots]

It's still a Capra. Fugly. I put RP Int rails on mine and a truck body and now it rocks!
