The Axial UTB18 Capra 4WS is a rugged 1/18 scale trail buggy designed for serious crawling in tight spaces and rugged terrain. Built from the ground up with features like four-wheel steering (4WS), portal axles, and licensed Mickey Thompson Baja Pro X tires, this Ready-to-Run model is equipped to deliver trail performance with factory durability and premium traction.
Performance
The UTB18 Capra 4WS features a Spektrum Firma 25A brushed ESC driving a Dynamite Tazer 37T 380-size motor, delivering dependable torque and crawl speed. Its drivetrain includes portal axles for increased ground clearance and stainless steel lower links to maintain geometry over rough terrain. The 4WS system allows three steering modes—standard mirrored, rear-active, and crab crawl—giving you precision in tight spots.
Build Quality
Built with rugged materials including a tube chassis, all-metal universals, and bead-lock wheels, the Capra 4WS pairs functional toughness with scale realism. Licensed tires and detailed body panels add style, while steel lower links and portal axle housings offer strength where it matters most when climbing over rocks or trail obstacles.
Control & Handling
Equipped with a Spektrum 3-channel SLT3 2.4GHz transmitter and a Spektrum SR515 dual-protocol receiver, the UTB18 Capra 4WS offers precise control over all motion—including the 4WS system. Steering is responsive and adjustable, helping reduce bind and increase maneuverability. LED headlights, rock lights, and a light bar enhance visibility during low-light runs.
Ease of Use & Maintenance
This RTR model comes with everything necessary to start. Spektrum Smart electronics, a 650mAh 2S LiPo battery, and a USB-C charger are included. Component access for routine maintenance is straightforward thanks to modular parts and a removable body. For upgrades, the chassis supports many option parts already used by Axial users.
Special Notes
