Hello all! I just received my new Capra 4WS, have a lot of plans for the future of this rig, so far I am really impressed by it. One of the first things I would like to do is to use my RC8X, so that I may be able to take full advantage of the 4WS and dig options. I was told I would need a new motor/ESC, if I plan on using this radio, since the ESC in the Capra is combined with the receiver, is this true?
I also have some questions on the dig as well, as I purchased an AGFRC 7.5KG micro servo and the metal horn for it, for the dig. I was also told that in order to use this servo (apparently it is exactly the same servo as the Reef's 99), I'll also need a BEC, if this is the case, any recommendations on the best BEC for this application?
I already have some 1.9 RC4WD beadlocks, and a set of Hyrax tires, that I originally bought for the TRX4. Since that truck has evolved over the years, and no longer resembles something I would consider a crawler, I figure these tires are perfect for the new rig, though I may likely end up putting some pins on it. I also have some Desert Lizard 90mm shocks, which I plan on installing in a droop configuration, to try and keep the top of this rig as low as I can, while still trying to have plenty of flex for the narly stuff. A lot of learning and experimentation to do with this rig, so like everything we do, nothing is etched in stone, those 1.9s may become 2.2s at some point, and I will be going brushless in it at some point. My wife used to tell me I spend too much time on Dluxfab oggling their creations, and they have lots for the Capras, for sure, so this will likely evolve of the years as well.
Thank you, in advance, for any guidance and assistance any of you might be able to provide. I am for sure open to any and all suggestions, many of you have years of experience with the Capra, there is no need to recreate the wheel.
