| Capra FRO
this build is for the Class 3 CISE standard for the austrian scale team series i swaped the useless bad dig against a much lighter AX10 tranny with 48dp on a 2000kV yellow jacket outrunner attached the element dampers in a good angle i swapped the front axle to a centerpumpkin for a longer axle itself for better driving in the curves and also producing 45.3% overdrive, also 72° steering angle now |

Other than (very minorly) lowering the CoG, what does mounting the shocks upside down do? Seriously, does it actually make any noticable difference? ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |

He's using Element Enduro (Team Associated) 90mm shocks, which are some of the best shocks out there, not known for leaking - but the shock caps are shaped differently - might be why he flipped them. I dunno... |

Looks like you're gonna be running this thing pretty hardcore, I look forward to the pictures of the events. BUT, I have to object: The Capra dig is not "useless" nor really that bad, but as for the trans itself it certainly could use more gearing. |

the capra dig is more bad than the wraith one. you can file down the sharp corners on the capra dig claws for better working. but i don't need a dig, reverse driving gives no penalty here | |

| Re: Capra FRO my enduro shocks got AE green slime, no problems with leaking. i just wanted the minimal advantage of lower weight. the springs will be changed soonish, i want a much softer setup

[QUOTE=corefire;5971291]this build is for the Class 3 CISE standard for the austrian scale team series I see you cut the rear cage. At First shocked, more and more I look at it, not bad a Mod, at all. Just need to have the courage to do the first cut. I like the CF wheels, as well. |

thank you sir today i swapped the front links out for shorter ones. now the front is 1cm shorter. the old links had a shitty weight of 83gr. now i have 40gr. the upper links are SSD panard links, so no more hitting the batterie tray |

like the old ax10 i changed the lower links to outside and the shock to inside, so i have a little bit more space for steering |
