The unofficial official axial portal buggy.

Way different than just a od ud rig. Way better too.

But, a od/ud having dig rig with rear steer, tell you what. *p-ting, spits in coffee can*

My latest super had electronic "dig". You could turn down either front or rear motor via lever on the sanwa mt4.

But since this is a scale rig, the best you can get is a ud option for the rear axle.

Thanks for your insight. I need to get some experience with these features. All I know is crawling without them, it is often apparent that the rear axle is pushing the rig through the turn. It’s nice to see these features finally showing up as stock configurations on scalers

I follow you. So is the effect of dig going to be significantly different than an underdriven rear axle with regards to steering? Effect meaning, the desired direction of travel

Just trying to wrap my head around how each of these features may compare in that regard.

Waaaay more control with dig than just having OD/UD. Add in rear steer as well and it should make for a really maneuverable truck.



Btw can you believe that comp was over 9 years ago? :shock:

Oh yeah man! That video makes the dig unit look pretty incredible. I gather the guy with the transmitter is a winner? I think you just sold me on this Capra, very cool

 

[J.DUKE]

Cool vid!
Did those old school boss claw tires hook up pretty good?
Boss claws are gone, but i see plenty of pin tires around still...
They're so squared off, not sure if thats a good thing.

I just watched the video. I've never really seen a DIG in action before. It's amazing what you can do with the back tires locked.

Awesome I should have mine by next week. Gonna start the build but wait to see how others perform with what electronics before I decide what to use. I want a slow crawler not a fast rock buggy.

Wow, that is crazy...9 years!

 

[TheLetterJ]

That build video reminded me... I need to throw some Traxxas 2362 shock rebuild kits (to rob the x-rings out of them) on my order with the last of my stuff, and I need to get my butt in gear placing that order!

Hopefully these shocks don't need them. Horizon has a history of building good shocks and they know what they're doing.

It is kinda odd they aren't using X-rings though.
