Axial Capra refresh, need advice.

[Mrgoodwrench35]

Narrow 2.2" wheels with Dlux Tires works the best on our Capra, but I'd also look over any 5.25" tall 2.2" setups. JConcepts Megaliths are a solid choice.

You sir, have excellent taste in wheels

 

[Mrgoodwrench35]

The uppers are 2.2 ruptures, the lower are 1.9 Hyrax.

The servo showed up today. Should get the rest at some point today as well.

Do you ever have issues with debris getting in your outrunner?

 

[MVRCA]

No, not really, but I stick to crawling on rocks and suited terrain. Just about all of our motors are outrunners now, simply for the benefit of light weight / torque density. I wouldn't go mud bogging or dragging through the sand.

2.2" Ruptures are excellent.

I haven't got the chance to try the 2.2's yet but they feel great. What foams do you run? I have some proline 2 stage, 2 brothers antifoams, and a set of the cheap knockoff antifoams from Amazon. The knockoffs really dont seem bad but I've only tried them in 1.9's on a trx4 and a vanquish vs4.

I've said this before but I'm so jealous of your play areas. I wish I could find places like that close to me. The best crawling areas I've found are usually dried out creek beds and drainage ditches. I spent a whole weekend cleaning out debris from a water run off area in a local park just to have a good place to play close to home. Unfortunately it gets messed up in the winter so I'd have to do it every spring.

Nearly every truck we run uses a Crawler's Innovations two-stage foam of some kind. Usually the comp-cut inner foams. We have had some luck with Ottsix Ultra air-down foams in our 1.9" trucks, but as you know, the truck's weight is a big driver on foam. If you look over our tire reviews, you will see what foams we used for the tire / truck combo.

When your Capra is done, pop it on the scale and share a photo. We can get you a suggestion on foams at that point. I've enclosed the weight of the white Capra with the Dlux Fab tires installed and a battery.

No doubt the southwest is perfect for crawling, but the summer temps can make it challenging to enjoy at times.!

Trimmed 2.2" JConcepts Scorpios are also a great technical rock tire.

These are the Dlux tire with 6.0" CI narrow comp-cut foams.

I hope your happy @WickedFog! I agonized for hours over cutting up this interior that I spent a lot of time painting. Gonna have to do some touch up as the trimming process wasn't exactly gentle but I think it turned out OK.
