The capra is pretty much the king of the mountain with that oil.

I'm really liking the setup you have now. Glad to see the KLR, foams and shocks improved the performance. I've been taking notes and it will help with my Capra build! Thanks for sharing!

Moves effortless with great capability...thats what you get with great products and tuning...looks awesome.👍

Since the Capra came out I've been telling myself I don't need one. Your videos are making it harder to tell myself that.

What an improvement , that suspension is awesome. I may have to check them out. I just got the king shocks for my bronco and was going to get some desert lizard for my daughter's gen8 but will definitely give these a look

Any 90mm shock with the right oil and spring set up will give the same result. Nothing magical there. I’ll stick with Crawler Innovations foams. Eddie is an OG Crawler and all around good guy. Holmes Hobbies! What can you say, a pillar of the crawling community and again, a great guy. I’ve been waiting on a Shifts RC servo, but I might have to pick up one of the Reef’s 444. Glad to see your happy with your Capra.

Dezfan yep it’s finally close to where I want it. Pretty much yeah any decent 90mm shock can do this, heck the stock shocks with the pen spring or an internal limiter should be able to get this done as well. As far as CI foams go, you know I run them in everything except for the light vehicles. I’ve never had a Shifts servo but right now I’ve had several reefs and never a failure so I’m staying with them and have another 555 on order for the rear steer on this truck.

I love that axles 😍😍😍😍

Yeah and the tires KLR/M's they are my go too tire, I have the same tire and rim, the rims are awesome, three bolts tire on back on the road. Awesome rig dude, appreciate you sharing. I'll be watching for more

I use Mobil-1 synthetic 75/90wt gear lube in both my TRX4 and my Rustler VXL shocks. It works GREAT in both as well as the VXL's open differentials. And since I had 3/4 of a quart already in my garage the price can't be beaten.

@ExocagedRC

Douglas Elliott the seals don’t get sticky with that? What about the stink of gear lube? That stuff is nasty.

Holmes makes some awesome motors. My 2700kv puller pro is buttery smooth even with a 13t, 11t is stock, pinion gear on 3s. Castle logs show it has pulled up to 1,100 watts, but that's rare because it just doesn't get the load. It's a shame they don't make longer shocks, cause I'm plenty happy with the traxxas gts 90mm shocks and looking to try out some 110mm shocks. Food for thought, I calculated that a 110mm shock will be nearly identical compressed in the furthest top mount to the 90mm version. It is only 10mm longer compressed, but moving the top of the shock over 35mm allows the 75mm to be 66.3mm from the top of the tower collapsed which is nearly identical to the stock 65mm. Offsetting the shock 35mm gives 104.3mm of downtravel with the 110mm shock, so you actually gain 3mm of travel by offsetting the shock 35mm but more importantly the suspension can still compress to its natural position with the much longer shock.

Too easy for capra! 💪. I see the diference on torque twist. With this shocks works a lot better! Kutqw!

Yeah looks like performing perfect. I run 80 wait oil in my shocks on my pro

Ed H. Yeah Bowhouse nailed it with the Gen8 skid. Hopefully they can do the same with this.

Definitely agree that there's been a major improvement in its behavior. I guess as a crawler it needs to be setup more like one. They tend to use soft springs and heavier oil to control the articulation. Cant help but wonder if u straight limited the axial shocks and put 70wt in if it'd be a similar story. Does it have a lower ride height now than with the axial shock? That lower center of gravity would be a huge advantage as well. As you say, it's not heavy enough to compress the tires, or I'd imagine the coils either, which is why it was so eager to unload on climbs. Regardless, it's an improvement, well done :D

I have these too and am currently doing the capra build and just installed them. Someone mentioned these are 7mm shorter than the stock capra shocks and that I'll get less travel than if I used the icons. Did you see any issues there?

@ExocagedRC

4 жыл бұрын

RC Girl the shorter shocks help keep the suspension from dropping out so far the chassis gets off balance. I’ve had nothing but good results out of these. Now if I were U4 racing I’d run the stock shocks and let the axles move as much as possible. I got the 70wt in these and it’s good on the rocks but too stiff for bashing around. I’d say 50wt would be better for all around use.

great videos on the capra you have been doing. Question, is this rig weighted at all or are you running it "stock"?? thx Keep up the good work man!

@@ExocagedRC I was thinking about brass on capone wheels.

What about a longer shock (100mm, maybe more), but with the heavy oil for the dampening effect, but with relatively light springs (or dual rate) so you get enough droop so it doesn't sit too high and you get more extension travel e.g. when a front wheel is over an edge and you're looking for it to grab on somewhere?

@ExocagedRC

well the issue with this one is it unloads up front really fast and the chassis is a bit heavy and over it goes, so basically I'm trying to keep it under control and keep the COG down on climbs.

@@ExocagedRC Yes, for the COG considerations I was thinking something like the pen spring or anything else for droop, but with a longer shock body to be able to have room to spare on both ends (both compression and extension). I'm probably just going to spend a bunch of money and mess around trying to optimize it to my liking. SWMBO shall roll her eyes... :)
