| Re: The unofficial official axial portal buggy.
In any of my TLR race vehicles, I never felt the need to upgrade c-hubs, steering knuckles/bearing carriers, etc. The stock Plastics on those Vehicles were always superb and held up great to years of racing. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever replaced any of those parts on any of my vehicles. They are all original. The Plastics on the new Capra will hold up well if they are the same TLR grade Plastics. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk |

I think that they included a metal insert in the servo horn shows how much consideration they gave in this project. Well done Axial. Lots to like here, glad it’s a kit! |

| Re: The unofficial official axial portal buggy. That design was on the Losi Rock Rey and I'm guessing other Horizon vehicles. It makes the teeth stronger, but the rest of the arm is still plastic. An aluminum horn is a better choice. Not as big of a deal on 1.9 as it is on 2.2, but I'd still upgrade to an all aluminum servo horn.

Here’s to hoping that modification is straight forward. | |

Is there any way to build this without dig (in the interim until a HV micro servo can be acquired).

Agreed aluminum is always preferable. | |

I will note that the SPMSSX107 Servo from the is the only Micro servo that will "drop" right in. Can you use others yes but before there is a conspiracy issue (and something for Jato to complain about LOL), this little servo is metal geared and was the right fit and had more torque that we could source from our available vendors. The micro servo also has the base you need to fit the servo saver arm to connect to the trans to operate the dig. AGAIN, yes you can use others but you will need to find a way to setup the linkage. So if you plan to use dig, i would highly suggest getting a SPMSSX107 servo on order and depending on where you plan to run your receiver, get a 3" servo wire extension. I'll post more tips in a dedicated thread at some point. Rich | |

This is a release I can go for. I'll probably pick it up. Glad I didn't pick up the 1.9 Wraith.

Hopefully these universals fit VP portals so there is an alternative that doesn't have craptastic steering. I'll be picking one of these rigs up and seeing what kind of angle I can get out of it... | |

Since the portal gears are presumably the same F/R and Rich mentioned overdrive for the front, I'm going to say ring & pinion. | ||
