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

    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
      @CapeCrawlers  Рік тому

      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.

    @GeezerGramps Рік тому +2

    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.
