Capra FRO MkII
 

after building my massive overdrive capra with the optimized original tubeframe i am now going to build a second one with some new and spare parts

Re: Capra FRO MkII
 

starting with some rails a buddy make me. it used the original capra geometry made from lightweight cheap gfk

Re: Capra FRO MkII
 

old total weight was 2480gr
old frame nearly 400gr

new rails less than the half, so i can safe some weight

the new rails have the same geometrie like the original capra frame, but also more posibilities for mounting the shocks

but then i thought about to swap to a ax10 skid for smaler rails = so the dampers could stand much more optimal

Re: Capra FRO MkII
 

due the rules in the austrian C3 i went the safe way using some JDM shit

now i have the weight of the car 200gr lighter than with the original capra cage, also the riding height is 2cm lower

Re: Capra FRO MkII
 

very interesting concept!
Probably one of the best scale performances "thumbsup"


Which body (Honda) is on your car ? The result is changing from current bodies, and I like it :)

Tires are 2.2 ? What's their diameter ?

On your video, the car makes a strange and irritating noise, it's a fan ? :???:

P.S.: where is "Saxonia" ? :oops:

Re: Capra FRO MkII
 

i dont know the lexan honda. it was on a tamiya tt02

the noise is just the sound of the 14 pole 2000kV outrunner from 3brothers

the tires are rc4wd baja mtz narrow. they are 121mm diameter to fit the european C3 class

saxonia is in central europe

Re: Capra FRO MkII
 

sorting all the crap and soldering for shorter wires

i use the hobbywing 1060 as esc for the 25k winch on 3s because this old modell is 25gr lighter than the 1080, tinier and with 12€ very cheap

i also used a vaterra twinhammers batterie tray. it's 1mm over the upper links

Re: Capra FRO MkII

Re: Capra FRO MkII
 

C3 rules say i need a driver. a screw in the head was very usefull

Re: Capra FRO MkII
 

changed the rear foams into very hard ones for more sidehill stability

Re: Capra FRO MkII
 

visible swaybar is most common on lowriders
