at least give the choodoos a go, i have a set on my bench I've yet to mount up to anything cause theyre about 7th back on a list of things to get done to various rigs and i have little to no time.

Okay, I've reconsidered. Duke has a good point. I'm a big fan of the ottsix choodoos. Those tires get sick traction plus being a smaller Tire, will lower the Capra down a bit giving you a lower lcg.

I’m not sure if the motor had advanced timing. I’ll have to check into it.

I run one in my Marlin and it runs great. Very smooth power delivery and plenty of wheel speed on 3S.

The Choo’s will definitely see fury on the HOG.👍🏼

We’ll find out soon enough. 😈

So this evening, I assembled the cage and attached it to skid. And mounted up the RC4WD MT/Rs as these bead locks are a bit narrower than the other sets.



With some people having clearance issues, I wanted to be sure at least one set of wheels would clear. These clear with room to spare!👍🏼

I’ll mount up and take pictures tomorrow as well getting pics of each wheels clearances.

And since it was just sitting there, I thought I’d see if the Bog Hog body I use on my Enduro would fit the Capra.

Like a glove! 😲



Found out that none of my Lipo’s fit, so it looks like I’ll be ordering a few more.😐

May have to rob a servo out of one of my other rigs as the one I’m wanting to use in the HOG is 3-4 weeks out.😡

Still trying to figure out what I want to do with the panels.

More to come...

[dezfan]

Thought I’d do a test panel to see if the idea I had in mind for my HOG would look ok.

Give me your opinions.

May have to zoom in a bit to see the detail.




Black, silver, and old school Axial Green.

The 'black' looks more like 'dark green' against the lime green. The silver, yes...but, instead of black, come up with something that "jumps" from, as opposed to "blends" with, the green.

I need to work on my splatter technique a bit to get a little more color instead of the fine droplets.

Might help with the contrast if the black (and silver) where a bit more prominent.

We’ll see. 👍🏼

Lookin' good Dez!

Great idea on the splatter effect! It's going to look awesome once you dial it in!

Reminds me of Turtles paint jobs on his rally cars.

Always liked the splatter jobs

Thanks B!

I hope so.

I was Turtle jacked!🤣

He and I both got into the splatter look around the same time.

But I can never stick with a paint scheme, I’m always changing my mind.

[dezfan]

Well, the paint is about as done as it’s going to get.

Not 100% satisfied with the splatter, but it’ll do.

My color reference.



The Tamiya paint isn’t as Lime as I hoped.

But what are gonna do, it’s a Crawler. It’ll get drug across the rocks.





Got to give RCC a little rep.



Now I just to wait for my servo to come back into stock and I need order a another damned Lipo that’ll fit.

[Panther6834]

I like. I didn't care much for the "test" splatter...but the "finished" product is good. In the "test", I thought the black kinda 'blended'. With this, the black definitely stands out.

[B-MOW71]

Oh yeah! I’m liking it!

Great job Dez! Just enough splatter to look cool!

I dig the paint job! Like the matching helmet on the driver. Nice touch

Thanks.

Not exactly what I was going for. But it’s ok.

Thanks B.

It looks good enough to drag across the rocks. 🤣

Thank, I couldn’t think of anything else to make them stand out.

[Robbob]

That came out really great Dez

[Lashlee]

Definitely dig the matching helmets!

Appreciate the compliments.👍🏼

Great paint job, digging it!

[Sneetches]

I like the "throwback" paintjob. What color code was the Tamiya green you used?
