Axial Capra UTB18 4WS UPGRADE - Dual REEFS RAW500 Servos!!

In this video I upgrade the Axial UTB18 Capra 1/18 to four wheel steering, elevating the mini Capra's performance capabilities to new heights! The 4WS setup is powered by two upgraded servos: Reefs RAW500's at each end! The speed and power of this steering system is outrageous. Watch on to see them in action!

I was considering a Capra18 but when they announced the 24 4WS that one makes more sense for my indoor course

Totally agree. The UTB18 is useless on my indoor course. It's just too big. I am very excited for the new AX24!

Great video as always. Yeah, it’s hard to argue or justify price points on big vs small. I have both and honestly I think I enjoy the smaller scale more. It just expands the terrain your exploring, you can play in all those cracks and crevices a 1/10 would pass over without effort. Thanks for all the content. Your videos are a go-to when I consider my next micro Rc purchase.

@CapeCrawlers Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Very good point about the terrain expansion. I can imagine a 1/10 capra being so capable it would take quite the location to really challenge it. You can get away with less terrain and have more fun with the smaller scales.

I want to 4WS on mine but just haven’t done it yet. I will probably end up using my RadioLink RG6 as it has a knob behind the steering wheel that would work great. I like the idea of controlling the fron & rear separately. You could have gotten another aluminum front axle the would have solved you OC issue. 😅 With the stock 56/44 weight bias, the servo & steering will add weight to the rear so why add portal weights.

@CapeCrawlers Жыл бұрын

I'm going to take the portal covers and brass housings off right away, That big servo is plenty! I am going to order a new aluminum housing to cure my OCD :)
