Sweet. I’ve always wanted a Samurai.

I can foresee some nice builds with this body.

TooOldForThis · 01-29-2019, 02:03 PM

Looks amazing.

Does anyone know of a solid CAPO dealer in the US? RPP Hobby once carried the 4 door CAPO jeep IIRC, but I don't see anything from CAPO on their site currently. CAPO kits all go for big money and from what I can see they are absolutely worth it, but I don't feel comfortable spending that much with a seller I'm unfamiliar with.

Ultra-scale! looks neat, but not my thing. It looks too much like the real thing.

Wasn't/isn't that the whole point about scale rc ? Well that's what i thought, you know if you build one of those plastic scale models, i ALWAYS wanted to add a real motor to play with it ? LOL
Now we can just built tougher and your way, you know ?

I think for some it is. Perhaps those are the true scale modelers, I dunno. Personally I prefer builds that also infuse a good balance of embellishment and imperfection. I find them more interesting. If I wanted to look at the real thing I would just go to a car lot.

TheLetterJ · 01-29-2019, 03:34 PM

As cool as that is, I've got to wonder why they went to such great detail, but then put it on coil springs?

Teng · 01-29-2019, 04:01 PM

Wow Ultra scale in 1/10 size

meatmonkey · 01-29-2019, 05:01 PM

You can get a Jimny with coil springs, and radius arms I think. Regardless, it certainly looks the part.
What's the price of admission? And what's going on in the trans? 3 speed?

HumboldtEF · 01-29-2019, 05:13 PM

So with a title like that I assume you're giving them away Frank, Put me down for 2 lol

Pretty cool but I agree we need a US dealer to feel more comfortable with this brand.

I can see one shift/dog in the tranny so 2 speed minimum. theres a lot of gears though, there must be more to it than a 2 speed.

I also see a servo in the rear, I wonder what thats doing? lockable diff or selectable 4WD maybe? Or 4 wheel steering, I see a panhard bar in the rear.

Real car pan hard bar CMS

Yes, but not at the price the Capo will ask.

Mike Flea · 01-29-2019, 06:27 PM

Steering wheel is on the wrong side

Teng · 01-29-2019, 06:28 PM

The JK Max around US1300. So this samurai must not less than the JK? Or around the same price?

durok · 01-29-2019, 06:59 PM

Frankly, I'd be happy with a slightly bigger Lexan Suzuki body and plunk it down on a 10.95"-11.4" Ascender or SCX10 chassis...

I love the little Pro-Line Samurai body, but I'm not sure I want a Barrage or MST chassis under one.

But, I'll likely get one anyways as my "TTT" (truly-tiny-tire) rig, for the extra crawling challenge, someday.

Mainly to do up like the 1:1 my dad had up until he passed.

That Capo is sweet, but I wouldn't want to actually off-road one...

The trouble with true-scale rigs is that they can only cope with the mildest types of terrain - it's the same issue with that RC4WD Ford F-150.

It's just gonna be too delicate.

In my humble opinion, of course...

What I REALLY want is the brand-new Suzuki Jimny 1:1, here in the States:
