That's the best example on youtube of what a Ridgerock is capable of. I picked up a RidgeRock specifically so I wouldn't have to hand over the transmitter of more expensive rc's but now I might be the one asking if I can drive my son's truck.
Biggest issue with the stock capra is the tires but even just removing the shock spring cups and putting in an 11t pinion completely changes it. Next up for mine is tires and overdrive!
Recently got my 4ws Capra due to the sale. I immediately added brass to the front hubs, installed a Fusion Pro with an 11 tooth gear and a Radiomaster 5 channel RX as I am going to eventually add a dig servo. With the additional programming available on the RM MT12 I set it up with front steering and rear wheel on a knob, crab steer, and proportional steering all on a 3 position switch. After watching the vid I may incorporate a rear steer with front on a knob as well. The only thing left to do is tires, the Nito's are a very poor choice for such a capable crawler, they are trail tires, period. Love my Capra's!
The Ridge *does* run 3s. Sonoran Scale Studios runs his on 3s and I run mine on 3s also. That in my opinion is the sweetspot for it. Still creeps slooooow but has that little extra pop of power. Just don't force it in a bind as the gears and drive cups are plastic. Try the tires without foams/much softer foams, it's a very light rig, I've done the same mods to mine overall, as yours except Losi Rock Claw 2.2s
Hey Adam, man your camera angles and skills are on point... good job dude. You even look better on camera than in person... and having seen you in person multiple times that's one great feat! HAHAHA
I just picked up a Ridgerock a couple weeks ago. I agree that for the money it is a stellar truck. I have issues with the hardware stripping out of the skid plate where the links connect. But with a bit of hot glue they should stay put for a while. I have also found that AMK Capra steering links fit the Ridgerock, you just need to take the nuts off of each end and just use the swivel ends. Great side by side comparison! Thanks!
Still rocking my Danchee and now Ridgerunner.Both are great with just aftermarket tires.Also because of the their low prices I lend them out to friends that want to go out and try rc crawling with me.
I have an original Redcat Racing RS10. Much like the Danchee Ridgerock but it is all aluminum, still MOA and 90 degrees of articulation. Its pretty good. I have run it against my OG Capra and it held its own. My Rockslide has the stock 2.2 bead locks but I put some RC4WD Mickey Thompson Baja TA on it, much better than the stock tires.
I will always recommend the ridgerock as the first crawler to anyone and everyone. you break something, replace it. you learn a lot. Tires make a big difference in this. Once you got the right ones for your rig/environment, the fun jumps up.
I really want a Capra but I’m new to RC and it’s a ton of money for me. I currently just have a Trx4m as my first and it’s ok since I put crawler gears,tires beadlocks,inserts,brass wheels and 59mm shocks. It just won’t crawl like I want due to body and weight distribution. This ridge rock seems like a decent budget option though.
I honestly don’t like MOA rigs. Seems too unrealistic in terms of these types of rc’s. But that’s just me, everyone has their own opinions. I rather spend a little more and get something quality and durable. But the ridge rock looks fun and promising. But I’d still have to go with the Capra if I were to choose between the 2 is all I’m saying. Thanks for the video Adam! Awesome as always!
Ridgerock was my 1st crawler. Tummy tuck, 1.9 duratrax deep woods, and 3s made this buggy go anywhere. To be borderline hobby/toy grade, it really is quite capable. That capra is BEGGING for a fusion...
Stock system does infact take 3s all day ive had mine 4 years now and its seen alot of different versions lol but now its running holmes 380 motors hobbywing 880 on 4s steel gears on the mt12 radio. I love it.
I do like my capra, tires and overdrive helps alot. I added stick on wheel weights on the front servo and really crawls well. I'm definitely getting a ridge rock, I like Redcat products. Have you done any videos on the Ascent Fussion?
You can save money by adding a tune to your Capra that is really good and gives you drag break. I ran it for 2yrs like that and just put a fusion in. The Nitto tires does not do this rig justice. Those Hyrax tires on the Capra alone will extend the the the Capra’s capabilities over the other rig by far. I have a friend who is constantly working on his ridge rock unfortunately. What matters is what puts a smile on your face
Nitto tires are not as good as the 2.2 hyrax, Put them on the Capra and you will see a difference. They both need a FS-GT5 so the rear steer can be on CH-6. Click,click,click everytime is annoying at Best. And the Capra is begging for a fusion 1800 for a drag brake and FOC. Do that and Cappy is on its way to being a great crawler.
If you’re like me, you were a little disappointed at the amount of money that still needs to be spent on the Capra to make it a good truck. But and it’s defense it’s a rock bouncer. But I was just expecting more. But nothing another $400 didn’t fix lol ouch !!!!and yes that Ridge rock will run 3s day.
was the ridgerock rear motor working. all can say i never had a crawler no clue looking butlooking at both trucks all i say the capra is better, take this from a guy who never crawed a rc in my life
@@topqualityfi8216 thanks man more of a basher type i had a crawler one time i gave it away it was a axials scx10 the frist one only took out in front house back first got it never used it again that my crawling life.

Good video. I can 100% agree the ridgerock is awesome. The Capra is good quality …. But overpriced when you consider the upgrades it needs.

I'd like to see the Capra do that run on the Ridgerock wheels.
I am partial to the Ridge Rock, but I think the capra would have done better with better tires

Ridgerock with brushless 2in1 setup front and rear,BOOM sick ride after that

My older version redcat runs 3s no problem. Great video 👍👍👍

A lot of man hours labor on that danchee vs rtr cool video. Thanks. I’m going with the Capra
Haha awesome. I recommended this battle in the last video
Stock system does infact take 3s all day ive had mine 4 years now and its seen alot of different versions lol but now its running holmes 380 motors hobbywing 880 on 4s steel gears on the mt12 radio. I love it.
That mod makes it god tier really, if you have enough unsprung weight
And with those 380 it stops doing that what you can see in this video, the rear wheels are not pulling forwards sometimes when he turns
@@topqualityfi8216 yea in reality im gonna run a duel esc set up to stop that its the worst part of 2 motors on one esc
I’m going with the Capra..only because I just brought one on sale..100 dollars off regular price..can you use that savings for brass parts…
Axial Capra 4WS is missing a picture of Sgarbi yelling.
I do like my capra, tires and overdrive helps alot. I added stick on wheel weights on the front servo and really crawls well. I'm definitely getting a ridge rock, I like Redcat products. Have you done any videos on the Ascent Fussion?
Time to extend the wheelbase on the Capra and go 2.2s

Keep up the good content man!
Those trucks definitely needs some brass, down low & some better tires, may help with some of those lines!
I wonder if you can use two of the hobby wing quick run 16s mini in the danshee Ridge rock?
That rear is starting to do alot of cutting,you really need to put 380 motors and esc,or 2in1 brushless to it :)
Wait, didn't you have portals on the RidgeRock before?
Next comparo would be the Capra vs H10 optic
Battle of upgraded vs stock or buggy vs robot would have been a better title. These 2 rigs are two different
Nitto tires are not as good as the 2.2 hyrax, Put them on the Capra and you will see a difference. They both need a FS-GT5 so the rear steer can be on CH-6. Click,click,click everytime is annoying at Best. And the Capra is begging for a fusion 1800 for a drag brake and FOC. Do that and Cappy is on its way to being a great crawler.
Hello, how can I find 'Crawler heaven'. Does the park have a name I can put on Google maps?
Or is there a place closer to me in Milford?
Thanks
Where is this place?
I've got both and came to the same conclusion as you did.
If you’re like me, you were a little disappointed at the amount of money that still needs to be spent on the Capra to make it a good truck. But and it’s defense it’s a rock bouncer. But I was just expecting more. But nothing another $400 didn’t fix lol ouch !!!!and yes that Ridge rock will run 3s day.
Capra stock tires seem to not be grippy enough.
Love the content, for 550 bucks man feels like it should be standard brushless right? Brushed motor seems like a miss imo
The rock runs 3s just fine have been doing it for roughly a year or so.
Not sure how fair running predator tires vs the stock nitto junk that came on the Capra is. Lol
And the GMade R1....🤔
was the ridgerock rear motor working. all can say i never had a crawler no clue looking butlooking at both trucks all i say the capra is better, take this from a guy who never crawed a rc in my life
The stock motor sometimes cuts off,but if u put 380 motors and weight on axle,youre still alot under 200,and it will beat those 700e trucks
@@topqualityfi8216 thanks man more of a basher type i had a crawler one time i gave it away it was a axials scx10 the frist one only took out in front house back first got it never used it again that my crawling life.
I’m making a custom trx4m body
Please and redcat ridgerunner?
Danchee is the way to go. Way better value.
Nice Nice
Almost everytime you full turn ridgerock,it cuts,something is wrong there,in other people videos it wont cut that easy🤔
23.50, it does that alot,check it
More like, and unfortunately, every time you use a Ridgerock for crawling something breaks.
Yep... the capra wins and will probably get even better with upgrades... its just expensive 🤑
