The unofficial official axial portal buggy.

Rich posted this bad-ass photo on his FB page. A Capra rolling on Proline 5.4” Boggers on Vanquish Method 1.9 310 wheels.

These are some tall tires. 5.4” is 2.2 wheel territory. The 2.2 Deepwoods on my Wraith are listed as 5.9”.
 
The cost of the rig plus taxes was charged to my card sometime during the night which was astutely pointed out to me by OSRC.

Part of my order already shipped (micro dig servo and servo extension) so I wonder if the tracking number on Horizon's site is going to update or if I get an email with tracking or?

We're like kids on Christmas Eve. :ror:
 
No, it was a different no-talent hack :mrgreen:

We miss that no-talent hack. :mrgreen:


Oh boy, let the fun begin....the Capra ships tomorrow for sure, without a doubt.

I'm looking forward (i think) to you guys getting them.

If you're on FB, check out the Axial Capra page with the Capra logo as that is where i have posted updates to the manual.

Thanks,
Rich

Would you happen to know a hex to hex measurement on these axles? Something tells me these axles are the new gold for a lot of people. :mrgreen:
 
I hope our preorders are getting drop shipped and don't have to bounce to our dealers first!



I got everything but paint on its way. I had it on my RPP order but decided it wouldn't be worth the 10 day shipping (same state!) I'd be stuck with when shipping paint, so I left it off to get everything else faster. Is there another good source for Tamiya PS paints?
Ebay for paint. I just ordered my paint last night. It will be here on Monday

Got my shipping notification and tracking from Horizon! The tracking isn't updated at the moment so I don't have an ETA just yet.
 
*sigh* for once, I can't join the cool kids yet. Maybe in a few weeks!

I feel ya there! My Capra order is on hold for now since I've already spent my fun money on other rigs this year!


These are what I got: https://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/ssd00349.htm nobody said they'd fit the new Axial 6-bolt locker, but I'll take that risk. Worst case, I'll have to buy the matching SSD locker too.

Nice find! I'll have to get a set of these to try out!

Good news! I'm glad to see these are shipping and will soon be in the hands of many builders! Can't wait to see some awesome build threads!
 
Has anybody seen anything on the motor rotation, standard or reverse?

Looking at ordering a Holmes Magnum motor.

Thanks

Haven't seen a definitive answer but I'm going to say standard rotation.

The transmission will rotate the same way as an old Axial 3 gear but is turned around to counter the change of rotation direction caused by the portal gears.

That's odd. I'm just over the border in Oregon, and if my LHS doesn't have the color I need (they suck at keeping PS in stock) I always order from RPP because it only takes 2-3 days to get it...

XR width. Not sure if its exact or just close. Yeah, I see some fun new comp parts coming soon, especially with a factory dig.

It is odd, but they have a note on their site that reads "Only ships via ground service" on all the PS paints and the last few orders I had from them that had paint took 8 days, another took 13! I hope my bottle of shock oil doesn't get the same treatment. I know CA is a big state, but that's uncalled for! If I need something fast, I usually ebay it from the East coast, ironic I know.

I'm just paying the extra $10 (no longer eligible for discount or free shipping) to split my order in hopes of getting my OD gears, shims, CI foams, shock seals, shock oil, shock limiters, shift servo, and another Mamba X (to replace the Micro X I'm stealing from my Wraith for use in the Capra) sooner so I can get going on the build sooner. If the hobby shop wasn't an hour away I'd just have my wife pick up the paint(s), but I can't drive right now and it's not worth the cost in fuel to expedite things since I always paint last.
