There are still some errors in the updated manual, but here you go.

Wrong screws on some of the steps.

I built mine entirely using the online manual. I recommend having some calipers to measure all the screws, double checking along the way. Truck is worth it though, great ride right out of the box. Perfect of example of how a little patience can pay off.

Not sure why several people say to use a ruler to measure the screws, links, turnbuckles, etc. Calipers are the better/smarter way to go...far more accurate...especially when building links & turnbuckles.

As for the online manual, it was the same as the printed manual when I started building my first Capra. When it comes time to build the second, even though it will be a "hybrid" (part Capra, part Wraith, part SCX10, etc), I'll download the latest manuals. Hopefully, whatever errors still exist will have been corrected by that time.

I hate online manuals I need to lay the page in front of me. I’d almost buy another once it is finally fixed. I think they really should have gotten this right on the first review. Now there are multiple incorrect/incomplete versions.... that is not a good look

You have a printer, right? If you've been building long enough, I'm sure you probably wouldn't need the entire manual...so, you could print out the pages you need.

Time to buy one, maybe? Printers are cheap Therese days. You can easily pick up an inkjet for less than $100.

Yeah, I built mine completely with the online manual. I do not prefer it though.

Definitely bust out calipers for the screws if you need to. I actually barely had to use the calipers for the screws. I've built enough kits recently to roughly be familiar with what the size should be.

It also helped in this kit that all the screws were bunched into the intended part of the build, so you could compare the different screw lengths and diameters and sort them out.


Some of the more common errors I saw with the online manual while I was building are the following.

1. Step listed a screw that was not needed for that particular step (ex: Step E1 called for 2x AXA146 m3x12mm countersunk screw, but the diagram only needs 1)
2. Incorrect screw listed in the manual for a specific step (ex: The countersunk screws they said to use to attach the driver's heads)
