We’ll find out in 4-6 weeks.

If they don’t look right, I’ll throw a set of 4.75 Hyrax on it.👍🏼

I also have ???. Axles seem pretty wide and it could be just because of proportions, but how close in width are these compared to an scx10ii axle? Also what pinion gear tooth count was used in calculating the final gear ratio?

Don't really need all that sidewall if you pick your lines well....

Here's what I'm thinking of running - and the Capra needs to be painted and detailed like what they run in those Rainforest Challenge YouTube videos instead of like something running the sand dunes (i.e. the included stripey decals in the kit) - sponsorship decals and number plates only:

How big of an esc can fit on that esc/receiver tray? I’m guessing mamba x is out of the question. Also, does the fuel cell double as a watertight electronics box or if it for aesthetics only?

Riddle me this, geometry guys: You can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is that great of a difference in 4 link rc suspension characteristics as there is in 1:1? I get you can change the anti-squat, like with mountain bikes for instance. Out of curiousity, has anyone done a virtual pivot design on a rc rig like some of the bikes have? Anyone looking for a good read, Google 4 link suspension. You'll be up all night. Back on track- As much as I am anti bought, not built, this may very well be my first in that catagory, that video really impressed me. Put her in a different pair of better fitting jeans to and go hit it on the trails and rocks. Just be sure to look out for those chupacabras!

Where is that like button that went away, I want those wheels posted above. ^^^^ Aw shucks, they won't fit- they are 6 lug and this rig is 8.

He said no. All the kids say dope now. So those tires will look dope.

Yep, yet another in a strong lineup of Injora "budget" wheels!

They're positively bodacious!

Heh-heh... if the "tiny-tire" thing doesn't cut it, I'll bust out my so-aggressive-they're-ugly (and controversial) 4.6" tall TSL Thorrnbirds...

Absolutely. It makes a huge difference. A lot of things don't directly translate between scales but geometry isn't on that list.

Thanks Jakes for the kind words

So there are two positions to mount the ESC and Receiver. The picture truck has it on the tray under the dash area but there is also a flat area to mount an esc on the rear bulkhead and the Fuel sell can be used at a receiver box. That being said, I was running a Tekin RX4 Mounted on the rear bulkhead with a Tekin Roc412 (Can't remember the KV, i'm at home typing this and my rig is at work). Geared with a 13T pinion. The spur gear is not interchangeable. It was running on 3S for that video shoot.

What is the pin to pin width of these new axles?
