Axial UTB10 Capra 1.9 1/10 4WS 4WD Ready-to-Run Brushed Rock Crawler

The Axial UTB10 Capra 1.9 1/10 4WS 4WD Ready-to-Run Brushed Rock Crawler in orange is designed for navigating challenging terrains like rocky trails and steep inclines. This RC rock crawler features four-wheel steering, portal axles, and a low-geared transmission, offering robust performance for 1/10 scale RC car enthusiasts. Its durable chassis and detailed body suit both indoor and outdoor crawling.

Performance

The UTB10 Capra uses a 540-size 35T brushed motor and a low-geared transmission with a 45.37:1 final drive ratio, providing strong torque for climbing steep obstacles. The 4WD system and portal axles increase ground clearance, aiding navigation over rocks and uneven surfaces. The four-wheel steering (4WS) with three modes—front-only, mirrored, or crab crawl—enhances maneuverability, though it may require practice to master. Speed is limited compared to other RC types, prioritizing slow, controlled crawling.

Build Quality

The tube chassis design, paired with stainless steel links and pivots, offers durability and flexibility for rough trails. Licensed Currie F9 portal axles and metal universals ensure a robust drivetrain, though small components may need careful handling during maintenance. The polycarbonate body, with scale details, withstands impacts but may show wear on sharp rocks. Waterproof electronics allow use in wet conditions, but debris can accumulate in exposed areas.

Control

The Spektrum DX3 2.4GHz transmitter provides reliable control with adjustable steering modes via a third channel, allowing drivers to switch between 4WS settings. The Spektrum S683 servos (25T, metal-geared) deliver precise steering for both axles, though response may lag under heavy load. The Spektrum Firma 40A ESC supports telemetry, but the 2-in-1 ESC/receiver limits radio upgrades. Throttle and steering trims enhance usability for varied skill levels.

Design and Features

The orange body features scale details like a realistic cage, with Pro-Line Hyrax tires on licensed wheels providing strong grip. LED lights are not included, which may limit low-light visibility. The hinged body simplifies battery access, and the adjustable shocks allow suspension tuning. The design prioritizes crawling performance but may feel bulky compared to smaller-scale crawlers.

Special Notes: This is a Ready-to-Run model, fully assembled with a painted body and Spektrum electronics. Requires a 2S or 3S LiPo battery with IC3/EC3 connector and a compatible charger (not included). Suitable for beginners with adjustable controls, while advanced users can tweak suspension for technical trails.
