Great examples of using dig. One thing that I didn’t see you do is use the freewheeling position on the dig. It’s really useful too in certain instances when you don’t want to drive the rear wheels, but also don’t want to drag them. I fricken love my Capra. It constantly allows me to challenge myself with different lines I would even attempt with other trucks.

I’ve only seen that useful on flat areas to get a bit of a rolling dig on turns.

@@ExocagedRC You provided some great samples for using a DIG. Found freewheeling useful for sidehilling on a high traction surface with a rig that has a lot of overdrive (25-30+%). Allows the rear wheels to disconnect from the overdrive and better follow the fronts. Depends on the surface you are crawling on. I go back and forth on having my DIG units set up with 2-position or 3-position switching.

This was a terific use of dig. As a new rc guy, I really appreciate this video. You went above and beyond on your course. Those trail placards are a neat touch.

I need to get my self a Capra

Great video and explanation of the dig. I'll have to look for opportunities to use if more often. I need more diverse terrain to drive on.

Well all these crawler vids finally got me going out to get one. I was never really into crawling but I think it’s time to give it a shot. Any suggestions on a truck?? Anyone??

Another excellent video!!!

Great content brother! Keep them coming. 💯

Before you do the 2.2’s look for my video where I did that. It’s best to stretch the wheelbase with longer rod ends if not it will just flop over backwards. Brass only at the portal drops.

@@ExocagedRC i see. You used the links from trx4 if i remember correctly. Brass only on the portal drops will be easier on the budget. Cool. Do you think that AXE 540L R2 can be fit with some trimming in the capra? I saw your video with the 550 motor, but seems the end of the motor was sloped, which made the job easier.

@ExocagedRC

I posted a pic in the community tab. It takes a lot more trimming to make it work in the Capra. I’m trying to get a new belly made for the Capra that will fit it and extend the rear end out 12mm. That would take care of all you want to do.

I believe cutting a cutting brake Allows you to brake each rear wheel individually not sure maybe someone could correct me if that is not correct
