Capra Weight Question

[SteveB1]

Greetings all, I'm working on a piece for the website and wanted to see if any of you have the weight with battery for your Capra? Thanks!

Mine has a lot of brass parts on it but the Horizon product spec for a new 4WS RTR is 4.5 pounds. It's not clear if that incudes the battery. So figure 4.5 to 5 pounds.

Greetings, I did see the RTR weight from Axial, but I'm mostly curious as to what member's Capras come in at on the scale. I'm sitting at 2677 grams with a 59/41 split, running it as a 2.2" crawler with 13.25 wheelbase.

That was easy enough - 3.7 kg (8.18 lbs). Don't know F/R split. 4WS conversion and 2.2 wheels/tires.

I'm at 7.85 lbs. 4ws, 14" wb, 2.2, wraith width straight axles.

Ok, good info guys. Helps paint the picture for me.

Mine is around 8.5 lbs with 1500mah battery
2.2’s with pretty heavy wheels, 4ws conversion, vp front axle, aluminum body panels, brass front portal covers

Excellent info all and I appreciate the help. I'll post a link here once I have it finished up to share some of the build ideas and purpose. I'm seeing that many people have converted the Capra into a 2.2", and that also made sense to me. Thanks!
