Axial Capra 1:18 V2 4WD RTR gray

Unlimited Trail Buggy Capra in 1:18 scale

Similar to the popular Capra™ 1.9 Unlimited Trail Buggy in 1:10 scale, the UTB18 Capra in 1:18 scale allows anyone to have a fun and compact mini Crawler that gives you the ultimate off-road experience that smaller Crawlers haven't been able to handle yet .

Capra tubular frame

Reproducing the proven tubular chassis design of the Capra 1:10 to a scale of 1:18, the Axial® UTB18 Capra offers the same realistic look of a trail buggy as well as optimal passability over rugged terrain.

Use of portal axles

Portal axles are an unusual element for mini cars, but now the UTB18 Capra™ 1:18 brings a breakthrough design of portal axles for this scale, which increase the ground clearance at the differential point and provide the best off-road clearance.

Low profile power steering

As with most crawler chassis, the UTB18 Capra™ 4WD Unlimited Trail Buggy has a servo mounted on the front axle, which contributes to a lower center of gravity position and allows better control of the full wheel drive.

Metal front and rear axles

The front drive shafts with cardan shafts have the possibility of turning the wheels by up to 45°. The drive components are made of high-strength steel, so they withstand extreme loads and safe and smooth driving in every situation.

4-point axle suspension

Axial® has tuned the suspension geometry of the UTB18 Capra™ 4WD Unlimited Trail Buggy to deliver the best possible performance. In addition, the Capra has a specially shaped lower part of the chassis, which allows it to smoothly slide to the side when in contact with the terrain and not get caught on an obstacle.

Officially licensed bikes

Nitto Trail Grappler M/T tires on black Raceline Monster composite rims, have high grip on dirt, rocks and all other off-road terrains, while having a great realistic look.

Realistic driver cabin

The finely crafted interior of the licensed body features helmeted driver and passenger figures and other realistic details to give the UTB18 Capra™ 4WD an authentic look.

LED headlights, light bar and rock lights

Axial® enhances the realism of the UTB18 Capra™ 4WD 1:18 scale RC model with also functional LED headlights, a light bar and forward-facing Rock lights for the ability to drive even after the sun goes down.

RTR - Ready to Ride

The UTB18 Capra™ 4WD model car comes fully assembled. It is equipped with high quality electronics, a Spektrum™ SLT2 2.4GHz RC kit, a Spektrum Smart G2 UBS-C charger and a 2S LiPo Smart G2 IC2 battery. Everything you need to start riding is included in the package.

USB source

We recommend a powerful USB-C 45W network adapter to power the USB-C charger. With this source, you can achieve significantly shorter charging times compared to classic 5V USB sources (such as phone chargers).

Recommended batteries

To extend the driving time, we recommend purchasing an additional battery.

• 
  
  
• Spektrum Smart G2 LiPo 7.4V 650mAh 30C HC IC2 battery with Smart G2 technology.
  
• Spektrum Smart G2 LiPo 7.4V 810mAh 50C HC IC2 battery with Smart G2 technology.
  

Spektrum batteries with Smart technology currently represent the most modern and safest way to maintain and charge batteries. The benefits of Spektrum Smart technology can be found here.

Smart G2 batteries are even simpler and safer, thanks to the absence of a balance connector. In addition, G2 batteries have up to 3x faster automatic discharge into storage mode. Smart G2 batteries can only be charged on Spektrum Smart and Smart G2 chargers.

Recommended chargers

To shorten the charging time, you can use universal chargers with a power of at least 50 W.

Recommended chargers for Smart G2 batteries (without balance connector):

• 
  
• USB-C charger Spektrum Smart S100 USB-C with one output up to 100 W (depending on the USB source) + IC2/IC3 reduction.
  
• Spektrum Smart S155 G2 AC mains charger with single output 55 W + IC2/IC3 reduction.
  

Recommended chargers for all types of batteries (conventional and Smart G2):

• 
  
• Spektrum Smart S1100 G2 AC mains charger with single output 100W + IC2/IC3 reduction.
  
• Spektrum Smart S2100 G2 AC mains charger with two 100 W outputs + IC2/IC3 reduction.
  

Accessories for normal operation

For the normal operation of the RC car, you need tire glue, screw glue, a tool kit and silicone shock oil. We recommend an affordable tool kit for RC cars from our range.

Tire glue is used to glue the tires to the disc rim. It is always necessary that the tire is firmly stuck to the wheel rim all the way around! If the tire is not glued all the way around, it may tear. Tire glue has a special composition that is able to glue materials such as rubber or nylon, and at the same time, after hardening, the glue is flexible. We recommend Robitronic Tire Glue from our offer.

Sometimes it is necessary to add silicone oil to the shock absorbers of the model and change the oil in the differentials. During normal operation, there are only slight leaks of silicone oil on the piston rods of the shock absorber. In the event that the surface of the damper pistons or the condition of the seals is in poor condition, the oil leakage may be large. Repair kits or individual parts are supplied for these cases.

For routine maintenance, screw glue is needed. Screws screwed into the metal material (e.g. screws in the motor, worm gear in the pinion) must be secured against loosening with this glue.

Protective covers for accumulators

Protective packaging is intended to limit the risk associated with the transport and charging of accumulators. LiPo accumulators can, while maintaining small dimensions and low weight, provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity for a long driving time. Conversely, the LiPo battery is especially susceptible to mechanical damage.
